In addition to his regular job as a fire fighter, Ardcn has been appointed by Police Chief A.C. Blistler as a part-time offi- talk. However, he isn't at all sure he will like living in the store, as there is so much confusion in the day time, with people exclaiming over him, and at night, he just doesn't like to 3 left in the dark. Mr. Fisher says he sets up a big fuss, hoping have the lights left m.

The excitement of moving into a new home made Burr-head a little nervous, and he didn't realize Av- an employe of the store, was trying to be friendly, so he bit her thumb with his sharp beak. Ruth ruefully but good-naturedly showed the marks of the encounter. Anyway, Burr-head seems to realize he is the center of attraction ago. Doyle has already reported that they've been read over and over and they are hoping for more. His request for a radio and a calendar were filled, but Doyle says they could use loads more reading material, such as pocket size boks and magazines.

The paiTot's colors are yellow, blue, and green, with wide bands of red around his eyes. He has a new cage two feet high and two feet wide.

His chief caretaker is diminutive Nona McFarland, 501 Spruce, who is in charge of the pet partment When Nona opens the cage and holds a training stick in front of Burr-head, he will look around apprehensively and then gingerly step over onto the stick 'o be taken out of the cage. He enjoys having Mr. Fisher scratch him gently on the back of the neck and holds his head down as long as the scratching continues. Mr. Fisher and Nona say that Burr-head is fond of carrots, grapes, hemp and sunflower seeds.

They were so excited over the event some of them swiped 2G tickets. However, he figures they didn't know just what kind of an affair the tickets were for, and more than likely "hated themselves" when they found out the truth. The Gustavus choir was a chamber of commerce sponsored event and appeared in Leavenworth Jan. 31.

Airman 3 Doyle W. Bennett, IS, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. P.

Bennett, North Seventh, is stationed at the eight million dollar U.S. ah- base in Thule, Greenland. Doyle writes that while he enjoys his work as a file clerk in maintainance and supply, the constant darkness gets kind of monotonous. In Greenland there is nine months of darkness and three months constant daylight. Right now it is dark all the time and its difficult to keep time figured out.

It is the coldest spot in Greenland, too, being 40 below zero most of the time. "Its just too cold to get out and go to the movies, even." A big moment wa's when Doyle met a friend who had served at Sherman Field with him. Doyle enlisted here in Leavenworth, Nov. 14, 1951. After taking basic training at Lackland AFB, he was lucky to be sent to Sherman Field at the Fort.

Last May he was sent to Cheyenne, to attend a maintainance and supply school for three months, then was returned here. Two months ago he was sent to Greenland. He says the chief complaint there is the lack of reading material. They can't buy magazines! papers and as a result, every; bit of reading material is dog-ear- ed from passing it from one boy' to another. Mr.

and Mrs. Bennett; subscribed to The Leavenworth Times for Doyle, and also sent $5 worth of magazines a few weeks St. Valentine's none of whom met a happy ending. One was a Roman priest and doctor, who was beheaded about A.D. 269.

Another was a bishop believed to have jeen beheaded in Rome about A.D. 273. The third was a martyr in Africa. The most plausible explanation of our observance of Valentine day is that it is a. survival of a Roman festival held on Feb.
