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.
