: I can find. I work for CBC Radio in Edmonton, Canada and
: we are doing a little feature on outhouse history, believe it
: or not. If you know the answer please phone me collect

: today (Dec 17, 1997)
: Thanks

I don't have "the" answer - but maybe the quarter moon being some kinda of whimsical combo of "quarters" - as in lodgeing and "moon" as a naked buttocks referance and "mooning" as lost in revrie.
My gut, however, says that it was a simple design to let fumes out and fresh air in...
