There is a wave of anger mingled with alarm over the situation and all concerned swear ven geance upon the party or parties spreading the lethal morsels. It is an unhappy situation and one, like Mark Twain's comment upon the weather, about which something seldom is done. There is a possibility that a certain amount of the dog poisoning could be eliminated if owners took a little pains to train their pets. Dogs may be taught good manners and will learn to behave well. Some are less capable than others in adapting themselves and it requires patience and firmness, , but eventually they get the idea and become docile, well-mannered members of the house hold. There is one babit dogs have that is annoying even to the most ardent ca nine lover. When poochie sits out in the backyard, points his nose toward the sky and yodles to the stars, it may not annoy his household but the neighbors resent it, especially if the practice is persisted in regularly. And there's the iunning-out-and-barking type, usually indulged in by several dogs and not in frequently resulting in a fight This, too, has a devastating effect on the neighbor's morale. These canine habits can be broken up and should be taken in hand by the owners. If not, then beware, for some one who is not as fond of dogs as you are will take steps to eliminate the nuisance. Some towns have ordinances cover ing the running at large of dogs. Such ordinances, like many other laws, fail to accomplish their objective, but the fact that they are law gives a plainiff recourse should he iwant to refer his complaint to the auhoriies. Thus we refer the matter to the own ers themselves. If you would prevent an epidemic of dog poisoning give your pets a course of training. Quell his urge to bark and roam ; give him com fortable quarters, feed him wisely and then if he doesn't behave get rid of him yourself rather than leave the job to the dog poisoner whose 'promiscuous planting of bait takes the lives of of fending and non-offending pets alike. o NO TIME FOR COMPLACENCY News of Allied successes at the front continues to come this (week, giving more than a faint hope that the tide of battle has turned against the Axis. Most heartening is the apparent op ening of a second front using north Africa as the springboard. Rommel's army appears badly beaten by a re formed, revitilized British African army and all America has thrilled to the sudden sweeping capture of French North Africa by an American expeditionary force. Our forces are holding the Japs in line in the Pacific area, adding color to the picture of growing Allied superiority. There is no reason to believe that the Allies are already to move in for the kill. Far from it. The road to victory will be long and arduous. We cannot expect the early collapse of war ma chines that were years in building and Represented the greatest military strength known to history. There is too much manpower to overcome, too much war material to destroy and too much territory to redeem to expect vicory short of many months. The Ax is powers in their early advances seiz ed valuable territory lands rich in resources needed in maintaining and extending their campaigns. They have had time to establish themselves in de fense of these territories and to use them as bases for offensive action. It will take time to blast them from their strongholds, even alter their offensive power is broken. While all this activity is going on at the front, what is the situation at home? Are ,we keeping pace with our fighting forces? Are we manifesting sufficient interest to keep pace with our war machines? In some ways, yes. We are responding to the calls for fi nancial assistance, scrap drives and the like, but aside from those things the average citizen is manifesting little interest in what is going on. We are told that this is an oil-out war. We know from news repors that our enemies make no discrimination between the armed and the unarmd. In truth, their greatest delight is in bombing defenseless cities and towns and machine gunning helpless women and children. But that is on the other side of the world, you say. So far, yes. But it could happen here. We've been fortunate, that's, all. Necessity for pre paring to meet such conditions has not come directly home to us, consequently we have neglected to prepare for them. We have followed our usual course of life, looking with a degree of annoyance upon the restrictions which have been imposed and viewing with alarm some of 'the announced but as yet unenforced rationing programs. This is a people's swar. It is your war. You will have to do your share not in buying war bonds, and stamps alone, not in contributing your scrap metal and rubber, but in standing ready to take your share of the bur den of all activities carried on by the civilian population. Other sections are meeting their quotas of bonds and stamps, scrap metal and rubber, and in addition are. manning observation' posts, carrying on USO activities and a score or more of other activities re lating to the war. Social activities have been curtailed, unless directed toward the war effort, and the people have learned to respond to the call for new programs as they are launched by gov ernment agencies. We have been at iwar almost a year. The going has been rough so far but fa vorable signs appear over the horizon. Now is the time to buckle down to the job of winning. Those of us at home are playing the game from the side lines, as it were, and it will be hearten ing to the boys who are working the ball toward the goal to know that the rooters .are with them down to the last tion by that time expired November 2. man, woman and child.
