The national
squirrel debate
By Abigail Van Buren
« 1973 by Chicago Tribune-N. Y. News Synd., Inc.
DEAR ABBY: That Waterloo, Ia., man who shot and
killed a poor little squirrel while the squirrel was eating from
a bird-feeder should have been reported to the police.
In the first place, it’s against the law to fire a gun
within the city limits of Waterloo. And in the second place,
it’s against the law to hunt squirrels out of season—which
is only a few weeks in the fall. And in the third place, I’ll
bet that man didn’t have a hunting license in the first
place.
I’m from Waterloo, so I should know.
NAME WITHHELD ON REQUEST
DEAR ABBY: I cried when I read about the man who
shot and killed a hungry squirrel while it was eating from a
bird-feeder. It reminded me of a squirrel that used to come
into our yard nearly every day. We named him Freddy. At
first he was timid, but after he knew he could trust me he
would come running to me when I called him, and he would
actually eat out of my hand. How he loved cubes of bread
covered with peanut butter!
One day an old crab of a neighbor caught Freddy
burying a nut in his yard, so he hit him with a two-by-four
and stunned him. Then he proceeded to beat that poor little
creature to death with the two-by-four. I was told all this
by a neighbor who saw the whole thing. My heart ached for
a week.
I am not going to make friends with any more squirrels
that come into my yard because I think Freddy lost his
fear of man when I became his friend, and that trust cost
him his life.
I enjoy your column. Some of those letters are hard to
believe—but then who would believe a man would beat a
squirrel to death? MISSING FREDDY
DEAR ABBY: For your information, squirrels belong to
the RODENT family and they do far more damage than rats!
Squirrels not only dig around gardens, destroying plants
and roots, they chase away lovely song birds and steal
their food Worse yet, they chew and destroy phone cable,
costing phone companies millions of dollars annually. Fur-
thermore, squirrels keep filthy nests. Phew!
I can’t think of one single constructive thing those imps
do We should have a national program to eradicate squir-
rels. You can’t teach a squirrel anything. Period.
DECATUR, GEORGIA
DEAR ABBY: I am not for killing anything except in
self-defense, but squirrels can be a real nuisance.
I once had a fairly tame squirrel come into my yard
regularly to get sunflower seeds from my bird-feeder. That
naughty squirrel damaged my expensive new feeder with
his sharp teeth and claws. At first I was very angry. Then
I realized that the poor little thing must have been so
hungry he just had to get at those sunflower seeds some
way.
I didn’t shoot him, but I did put Vaseline on the pole so
he couldn’t climb the feeder. LOVES ANIMALS
DEAR LOVES: The poor thing probably went squirrelly
with frustration trying to climb that feeder pole.
Problems? You’ll feel better if you get it off your chest.

HIGHWAY FIGURES BAD-
HOPE SEEN FOR FUTURE
A 28 year old managed
to compile a driving record
in 10 years which included
convictions for hit and run,
reckless driving; driving while
license was suspended, speed-
ing, jumping traffic signs, and
several other violations. He
was also involved in seven
accidents.
A 40 year old from the
same state put together a
BACCTN record in 19
. Th years of driving
including four
) convictions for
driving while
gloned
A for reckless
LaBar driving and 11
for driving after license sus-
pension or revocation. He
had two accidents involving
bodily injury.
These two drivers are no
longer on the roads. Virginia
saw to that under provisions
of its Habitual Offender Law
However, these are only
two, representing a group of
heedless or arrogant drivers
who may number as many as
five million across the United
States.
Last year, Americans es-
tablished records for deaths,
injuries, accidents and eco-
nomic loss by the way they
drove. The actual statistics
are 56,500 dead, 5,100.000
injured, 23 5 million accidents
and $19.1 billion lost to our
economy.
Partly due to the record
carnage, 18 state legislatures
are considering adoption of
Habitual Offender laws this
year. These, as in the 15
states which previously pass-
ed them, are being sponsored
or actively supported by state
associations affiliated with the
National Association of In-
surance Agents.
Similar to the strong meas-
ures taken in Virginia, the
new habitual offender laws
are aimed at that group of
people who cannot or will
not drive intelligently. They
are intended as a step to-
ward protecting the rights
of 110,000,000 conscientious
drivers to use our highways
in safety.

Sending Pictures
By Telephone
Now they’ve come out with
a portable machine into which
you can put a drawing or
photo, and then have a copy
of it come out of another
machine thousands of miles
away.
The system is called docu
ment - facsimile transmission,
and businessmen use it to send
out pictures, letters, pages of
data and other documents
In effect, the machine that
sends out the picture tele-
phones the machine that re-
ceives it. Instead of conversa-
tion there is a series of beeps
which the receiving machine
translates into words and pic-
tures.
