is "to make Christmas a little brighter, a little happier, and
more worthwhile for the under--
privileged."

mas gifts to the children is al
ways one of the big Elks events
of the year, and as in the past
15 years It will be directed by
Joe Krauger. Teachers of the
county are cooperating, by in
vitation of the Elks, and will
assist in selecting the children
. to attend the party.
Rehearsals have been in pro
gress several weeks, and the
show is now honed down to a
fine edge. The locale of the
show is the Bar Nothing dude
ranch.

Seeing Eye Dog
Gets First License
"Jerry," seeing eye dog, prop
erty of Carlton B. Greider of the
YMCA staff, drew No. 1 1950
county dog license for the year
Thursday as issuance of such li
censes got under way in the of
fice of County Clerk Harlan A.
Judd. Coincidentally "Jerry,"
seeing eye dog, property of
Frank J. Healy, local attorney
was given the No. 2 tag. Both
are German shepherds and are
well known on the local scene.
County Clerk Judd and Dog Li
cense Enforcement Officer Ervin
Ward flipped a coin to deter
mine which dog eame up withl
the No. 1 tag.
Several other licenses were is
sued Thursday. Wednesday
closed the sale on 1949 tags
which reached a total of 7712,
the largest in county history.
Dog licenses now sell at a
rate of $1 each on male or spay
ed female dogs, or $2 for a fe
male dog. This rate continues
up to March 1, 1950, when a
penalty of $2 will be added on
all license applications.
License Enforcement Officer
Ward stated that under the pres
ent law license tags must be
attached to the dog's collar when
the animal is away from its mas
ter or running loose. A dog
picked up without such tag on
the collar, even though the li
cense is issued, will be treated as
a stray dog.
He said there is an added
value in having the license tag
attached as when a dog is pick
ed up loose it is possible to iden
tify its owner by phoning the
number on the tag to the county
clerk's office and information
can be had immediately as to
the dog's owner and address.
Ward also stated that citation
blanks are being prepared so
that when an unlicensed dog is
found the owner will be cited to
appear in district court and will
be subject to a fine as well as
the penalty for not having a
license. These blanks will be
in use after March 1.
Portable one-man saws, driv
en by small gasoline engines,
have considerably lightened the
labor of the lumberman.
