Wood Kitties at Williamsville Residents ef Wliiliamsville sought ways and means last Saturday to clarify the - atmosphere themselves after the Village Board admitted the problem was' too 'Over-powering for' it. The Village -Fathers went into session amid an air of tenseness. Not only an aroused citizenry, but their own noses told them somet|ung Avas in the wind—< unmistakeably ' the haunting -odor of skunk, which in the past week has increasingly offended the community’s 'olfactory nerves. (Predictions that irate citizenry would appear a t the town meeting to demand relief failed to materialize, but hardy village trustees said mass protests were as unnecessary as they would have (been futile. The situa tion, they pointed out, practically spoke for itself. The Board’s concen sus, according to Village Clerk Bill Legg, was that “it’s just a case ■of every man holding his own nose.” “The State protects the dratted things,” be said, “and village ordi nance prevents shooting. What can we do?” Mayor John W. Cadman snorted with civic loyalty that 'he couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. “Of course, you can whiff the cause occasionally,” be admitted, “but I ’ve yet to meet a polecat face to face in Williamsville.” Officials hastened to tell the May or that Dog Warden 'Charlie iVetzell eradicated eighteen 'of the pests caught last week in the businses dis trict of the village. (Police said they were helpless. Implored by Mrs. Alvin E. Ouehell to remove a skunk from 'her living room, they said they didn’t even dare molest 'one> which had statioried itself behind Police Headquarters. A feminine motolist reported her car was “damageiL ‘beyond repair” by colliding ■with a skunk. Grocers complained stores were being invad ed and stocks eaten by the pests. 'The latter -complaints provided District Conservation Offieer Wil lard Tillman with a theory as to the “plague’s” cause. The skunks were entering town, he said, to- find food, because their natural forage has been covered by snow for so long. F r e d o n ia Boy .Selected for Stokowski N. Y. A. O rchestra Alfred Walters, violinist, of Ffe- donia, was selected in the Buffalo auditions tO' compete in the regional auditions of the N.Y.A.

None of the Cattaraugus county as pirants received recommendations for the regional auditions which wlil be followed (by the final audition.
