Youth Reverses Usual Loyalty 01 Dog to Master Jackson, Miss. (U.R) Stories are lesion about the loyalty of a seein(!-eye dog to his master. In the case of six-year-old A. B. Albritton, Jr., and his col lie pup, King, the case is re versed. The boy can see and the dog can't. The dog needs help from some one to find his way around. King's blindness was discovered a few weeks, after the Albrit tons got him and began noticing he bumped into things and seemed unable at times to tell where he was. Albritton took the pup to a veterinarian who confirmed the suspicion that King was blind. The veterinarian told Albritton that the dog -had just a little sight left. However, he said King has an excellent nose and that with the use of it, could get around well in familiar environ ment. Other Cases Cited The animal doctor said he knew of several cases in Jack son where blind dogs made good pets and added that some dogs learn so well that their masters don't know they are blind. Albritton confessed he doesn't have the heart to destroy King, even if he could unwind his son's arms from the animal's neck. King is an affectionate and friendly puppy and gives signs of being alert and intelligent. Albritton added that he doesn't know what to do about i the dog, since King never will be able to Rive his son full com panionship. "I guess I just want advice," he said. ' i , The Albrittons said they would welcome suggestions from anyone who knows any thing about playing turnabout . and being a seeing-cye man for a blind dog. NOT EXTINCT YET Epping, N.H.

April 17, 1IS1 Vining Repertory Company Settles Into 'Smooth Unit' The Vining Repertory com pany, with its production of "The Importance of Being Earnest last night in Ashland's Lithia theatre, recovered from first night jitters and settled into the smooth working unit which it was for the earlier winter sea son plays. Those in the audience last night who had seen the first two plays said "Earnest" had more polish and suavity than either of tne plays given Monday and Tuesday nights. Of course: Oscar Wilde's delightful comedy has been a prime favorite for years and the wit of his jibes at his fellow men are just as telling now as they were when Wilde penned them. "Intsjgraied Tm" Every character In the play has his share of bright lines, and as produced by the Vining com pany, there are no stars only an integrated team which throws the ball of repartee back and forth at a lively pace. Philip Hanson and H. Paul Kliss are cast as John (or Earnest) Wor thing and Algernon Moncrieff, and give just the right touch to the characterization of these two light-minded young men-about-town. Clara Margaret Daniels domi nates her scenes as the strong minded Lady Bracknell and Su zanne LaMarre Hanson turns in a fine performance as the twit tery Miss Prism. Barbara Curtis is the beautiful Gwendolen Fair fax and Elmarie Wendel plays Cecily Cardew, the young ward who lived a quiet life in the country. Compleltly Charming Mrs. Curtis is completely charming, both in appearance and characterization, but Miss Wendel's husky and intriguing voice seems too sophisticated to be convincing as Miss Cardew. Eddy Barron and Franklin Reed complete the cast as the two English butlers. Richard Graham directs "Ear nest" and the period costumes are the work of Eleanor Williams of Ashland. Tonight's production ' of the Vining company will be "Death of a Salesman," a powerful mod ern play with Richard Graham in the leading role. O.S.

(U.R) The story of Noah and the flood is probably the best known biblical story among children of pre school age, Dr. Ralph D. Heim of the Lutheran Theological Sem inary believes. He added that Sunday School children are more famiiiar with the Book of Matthew than any book In the Bible and that the Book of Exodus is used more by Sunday School teachers than any other book in the Old Testa ment. Dr. Heim, who teaches Chris tian education and the English Bible in the Gettysburg, Pa seminary, made his comments during a conference here in which he urged that teachers "find more suitable lesson ma terials for particular age groups."
