100 YEARS AGO Nov. 24, 1913 LEAD HILL - That Hiram Bilyeau of Tonopah, Nev., likes the hunting for quail in the vicinity of Lead Hill is evidenced by the fact that he has caused his English setter dog Frank, to travel 16,000 miles and has paid out $112 in fares for the dog’s transportation to and from this town. Bilyeau lived near Lead Hill once and returns now and then to visit and hunt, bringing with him his dog. Mr. and Mrs. Bilyeau are here now visiting Mr. Bilyeau’s parents.

50 YEARS AGO Nov. 24, 1963 Many Little Rock churches have scheduled memorial services for the late President Kennedy for today and tomorrow. Many of these same services will include prayers for President Lyndon B. Johnson and the tasks he has before him. Denominational lines were forgotten as the services were scheduled for the first Roman Catholic to be elected president of the United States. Rev. Kenneth Teagarden, head of the local district of Christian churches, said that special prayers will be said today for the late President and his successor in all Christian churches during the regular worship services.

Some employees of the Little Rock Fleet Service Division got a Thanksgiving gift Tuesday - free turkeys from a company doing business with the city. But the employees were asked to return the birds after city officials found out about the gift. Most kept the birds anyway. Of the 17 or 18 turkeys given away, only two were returned, Nathaniel Hill, director of the city Human and General Services Department, said Wednesday. The fleet service division maintains city vehicles and is a part of the Human and General Services Department. The employees were asked to return the turkeys because acceptance violates an unofficial city policy, officials said.

Dogs in Little Rock may no longer be chained to stationary objects and owners must provide sturdy shelters for their canines under recently enacted revisions to the city’s animal code. The Little Rock Board of Directors unanimously approved the provisions in October; they took effect this month. The regulations, which came about as part of an ongoing review of the city’s animal ordinances, state that dogs may be restrained through trolley systems or cable runs of at least 10 feet.
