Rabbit Sits On Rock; Raccoon In Cage At Right I HOPE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ONE By Tom Plaxico INTERESTING FACTS Here’s quite an oddity. There was once a king of England who could NOT speak English! He was George II who was born and brought up in Germany and never learned to speak English even though he became king of England in 1714 and remained king until 1727. He didn’t attend government meetings be cause he couldn’t understand what was being said! He left the running of the nation to his ministers, thus instituting the first real cabinet. And, here’s another interesting fflct . . Plaxico Chevrolet adjusted to the new Truth in Lending Regulation wdth hardly a ripple.

Plaxico Chevrolet, Inc. 400 West Main Street Wiley Has Way With Wildlife BY ERNIE SEGARS Many people have a deep love for animals, but few can match the love, care, and affection that Wiley Wellman shows for wild animals he has raised from birth. Wellman, a resident of Whitten Village, has raised wild animals all of his life, and he currently has a quite a collection. Wellman, an assistant to Dr. Dan Orr at the Laurens County Animal Hospital, has two pos sums, three foxes, five squirrels, and an undetermined number of cats and rabbits. Wellman caught these animals in the wild and has raised them like pets since their capture. He caught the foxes in the grain fields around Whitten Village when they were just pups and raised them with a bottle. They are named Lady, Mary and Bill. According to Wellman, the foxes are just like dogs and can be fed with scraps from the table. Wellman has had the foxes for al most then years, and they have become as tame as house pets. The possums also form an in teresting part of W'ellman’s zoo logical collection. He obtained OSES Week-End | Specials! 3 Days Only! Thurs. - Fri. - Sat. SAVE!

The pos sums are named Kilroy and Billy Joe. Wellman also has cats a great many, in fact. Many of these animals were wild when Wellman started feeding them, but they soon became pets. Wellman says his favorite is named Dr. King. The cats disappear in the day time but always manage to return at feeding time. Wellman recently added two more animals to his already im pressive collection. He captured two raccoons in the woods around his home. Wellman said the rac coons just sit there and stare out of their cages, but he feels that they will come around be fore long. When asked to explain this at traction to animals, Wellman re plied, “1 really can’t explain it. It’s been that way all of my life. I like animals, and animals seem to like me.” Wellman’s rapport with ani mals can be easily seen because of the large number of normally wild animals that he keeps as pets. Perhaps there is no need for a reason.
