Cat Walks 1500 Miles to
Comfort of Former Home
Cage, Okla. &I.R) Mowrrr!!!
The S. A. Woods family saw
a vaguely familiar cat crawl
feebly into their yard 'and
stared. Was this Tommy?
It was!
The family cat had hiked, or
hitchhiked, his way back to
Gage from California, a dis
tance of 1,500 miles at a cats-
walk.
Of course it could have been
a stray who Just happened to
look like Tommy, .Just be
cause he answered to his name
was no positive proof. This be
draggled ball of fluff which
still retained a trace of i t s
bright yellow coat would have
had to average over 83 ft miles
a month during bis 18-month
absence to walk the distance.
That's over two miles a day.
without the aid of a compass,
navigation equipment, or ra
dar.-
So the Woods clan checked.
When Tommy was a kitten he
had suffered broken right
hip. A physical check revealed
this animal had the bad hip.
Woods still wouldn't believe
it. He called the woman In Cal
ifornia who was supposed to be
taking care of Tommy. She
said the cat bad disappeared a
few days after he was put Into
her care 18 months ago.
Woods and his family were
in California then. They had
moved there from Gage, but
decided, after a year of living
on theNcoast, they longed for
their Oklahoma farm. They left
the cat in California.
'a 18 months Woods and the
children had all but forgotten
their old pet Them-"Meowrrrrtll'

Prexy at Reed
Portland J6 Dr. Duncan
S. Ballentlne, former associate
professor of history at Massa
chusetts Institute ot Technol
ogy, waa inaugurated today as
eighth president of Seed col
lege. -
Although Dr. Ballentlne has
been on , duty for several
months, the formal ceremonies
of Inauguration of a new head
for one of ; the nation's top
scholarship schools awaited the
official gatherlag of academic
personalities set for today. At
40, Dr. Ballentlne is the second
youngest man ever to head
Refcd.
"The unity of a free people
does not depend upon their un
iformity," Dr. Ballentlne said
in his address. "It is the divers
ity of its purposes which makes
a society democratic."
: As an example, he said the;
college must otffer from the
business world, because each
has a different function. .--
"There it no more tens in
a society made up of Identical
parts than In football team
composed entirely of quarter
backs or left tackles," he said.
"What we are looking for in
both is the harmonious co
operation of diverse parts, each
contributing to the whole."
