Life too Tame
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 29 -(ff)
A police dog that would have 115
service points if he had been a
member of the army, was back
home today after spending his
puppyhood overseas.
"Doc" began his adventures
when he was kidnapped by an
army air force combat crew at
Walla Walla, Wash. A Portland
physician who owned the dog
caught up with them, though, and
they paid him $50.
Staff Sgt Leighton E. Hollen
beck smuggled him aboard a plane
bound for North Africa. During
the lonely nights on the desert
"Doc" cheered the crew and they
vowed the last man to return to
the states would have him for
keeps. During his life overseas
"Doc" received one of the group's
two presidential unit citations,
five gold overseas bars, 11 battle
stars. He once wore the good con
duct medal but lost it after being
AWOL .for three nights.
"Doc" now looks forward 'to a
dull life doing nothing but guard
ing "his master's Portland home.
BeanThrotcing
Proves Hazard
Several complaints have been
made to the Farm Labor office
by motorists whose cars were
struck by beans thrown by chil
dren from the trucks bringing
workers to and from the bean
fields.
The beans striking the wind
shield of a moving vehicle cause
serious obscurement of vision,
thereby creating a hazard both
to the occupants of the stricken
car as well as to any other
vehicle nearby.
One truck has all ready been
stopped by authorities, and
names of guilty persons were
taken at that time.
