lias Pet Cemetery.
At the aide of most suits Is ft
brass plate on which are inscribed
the names of beloved pets of valley
people who have bought the stalls
as an aid to the organization and
as a memorial to dead pets. Zn the
large plot behind the kennels la a
pet cemetery, established through
the request of animal lovers. The
space is seeded to grass and bordered
with a cement ledge. A stone bird-
bath has been placed in the center
and around the edge stand tiny
headboards bearing the name of
dogs and cats of valley residents
who felt a special regard for their
pets.
A special kitchen In "the kennel
house provides for preparation of
meals and another room containing
a bathtub and other cleaning facili
ties la used for examination of all
entering animals. No sick animals
are ever allowed to remain at the
socfety building but are sent Im
mediately to the hospital.
A small cathouse is also Included
among the society buildings. Stray
cats are never kept, Mrs. Richardson
points out, as they are numerous
and multiply rapidly. However, cats
are boarded. Another small building
houses the apparatus by which ani
mals are disposed of. Lethal gas is
used to put animals to sleep and is
entirely painless, Mrs. Richardson
states.
Ambulance Service. -
The society operates an ambulance
which goes out on calls all over the
county.
The entire establishment represents
a monument to animal lovers of the
valley, much of the equipment and
surroundings having been donated.
The rosea bordering the road front
age of the society tract are Paul
Scarlet climbers and were given by
the late H. D. McCaskey. Other "flow
ers, shrubs and well-kept lawns add
to the general attractiveness .of the
place, many plants having been given
by members or friends of the so
ciety. - The society places placards In rec
reational areas advising non-resident
visitor that raw ftab Is poisonous
to dogs and should therefore be
burned If not used. An attempt was
made triis year to have the same
warning printed on fishing licenses.

Avoid Court Action.
Complaints are very rarely taken
Into court by the society, Mrs. Rich

Is to take care of all cases with as
little publicity as possible and no
information is ever -revealed unless
the organization is forced to take
the matter Into court, she pointed
out. This has been necessary In only
a few instances, Mrs. Richardson
added. . ,
The practice of abandoning ani
mals In the vicinity of the society
buildings Instead of taking them in
side Is condemned by organization
officials. Animals so dropped, it is
