ANkhoVs Worth of ... 1 Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press ftun Wri Haiman Nichol Fanner City, HI. (U.PJ A lot of does are smarter than a lot of people I know. Particularly girl dogs. Take Queenie a six -year-old Golden Re triever, the kind that when you throw some thing they fetch it back. I fell to chinning with Wayne (Swede) Fuller, an old friend and former neighbor of mine. He said: "You know what?" After I taid "What?" he said "Watch this." Swede went into the house and got a bunch of letters. - Then he turned to the Golden Ketriever mother of several and said: "Go get your fan mail." Mail Comes Through Queenie didn't waste a sec ond. She legged it to the pile and came back in a nonce, her own mail in her own mouth. Swede has done a wonderful Job with these blooded fetchers. He has toured the country in the past few years making them perform at county fairs, on tele vision and at sportsman's shows. The beautiful puppies can do about everything but sign an autograph. I asked Swede how he does it. "I can't rightly tell you," he said, "except that you have to have the patience of Job. You can't make pets of them, and you an't mistreat them either. If you overfeed 'em they get fat and lazy and are no good for show purposes. You try to teach the dogs something and you have to repeat and repeat and repeat." Different Methods Swede can keep his secret. When I went to visit my for mer neighbor, the boss man was in the shower. I had seen his act on television out of Chicago and I knew Queenie by name only. I said: "Which one is Queenie and seven dogs started to bark. Swede Fuller uses three meth ods in training and showing his canines. They respond to com mand via whistle,' hand signals and voice. ' ; Just to show you, he had a cou ple of youngsters working in his back yard another time I hap pened along. They were one-year-olds. He would say "Sit down. They sat. Then he would throw a "rubber-prop into--the driveway,; and they would kick up a heel.' Then he would toot his whistlej Two pups would dig in. Then he would say: "Everybody go." And both of them would. They also can be taught a routine that runs into everything from jumping over one another and walking on their hind legs to crawling on their bellies and standing on their heads. As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Mat is Jealous Of Wife's Family Some men want to feel that their wives have no interest in anyone but them. They are jeal ous of the wives' interest in their families, and they make life miserable for everyone. One young wife writes: (Q) "I have been married -seven years and have no chil dren. I cannot say they have been happy years, as my hus band and I argue a lot, most ly about my family. He doesn't want me to go to see them and when they come to see me, he is so miserable that Ihey hate to come. This makes me miserable too, as I love my folks. They live in the city and I can't go to see them often, as it is expen sive to go by train. My hus band has no close relatives. I can't help feeling that . he is wrong about not wanting me to see my folks. When we're home alone, he is fine. How can I convince him that he is being unfair to me?" (A) I doubt very much that you can convinceyour husband he is being unfair to you, in his a 1 1 e mpts to I cut you off . y 1 irom your 7 ) family. He of your love for them. He interprets it to mean that he does not give you enough love to satisfy Dr. Hurlock you. This is a blow to his ego which makes him angry. i On the other hand, you should see your family and your family should be welcome in your home. It certainly would be more pleasant for all concerned however, if you were with them when your husband was not around. As you have no children, sure ly you have enough free time to take a part-time job. By do ing this, you could earn enough money to buy some of the things you'-want .for. your : home-and you would still have money for the train fare to visit your fam ily occasionally.

For his residence actually sleeps in the limits of Grosse Pointe Woods which technically makes him a resident of that community. But the rest of the house, about 80 per cent of it, is in Harper Woods. Iwankovitsch finally paid the special assessment and then found the city wanted him to pay the same amount for each year the previous owner had failed to pay the same. He is fighting the matter and says he'll move if he can't get relief.

Wednesday, November 17, 1SS4 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Bats Native To Texas May Provide New Vaccine for Use Against Hydrophobia iaiai aiiac w wic uiseasc. a u ii um any . oiner Known cases, this strain 'of virus which holds the hope of a new and more suc cessful vaccine for human be- San Antonio, Tex. (U.R) Bats, those elusive winged mam mals, which mankind has never had much use for, may come to supply us with a precious vac cine against one of our worst diseases, rabies. An Army research doctV has discovered that bats found in Texas have had rabies, Recovered and become immune to the dis ease. This is an unheard-of oc currence in the animal world. The doctor, Lt. CoL Kenneth F. Burns, chief of the virology section of the Fourth Army medi cal laboratory at San Antonio, hopes his discovery will lead to a more certain method of saving the lives of human beings strick en with rabies, or hydrophobia'. Rabies, most commonly asso ciated with dogs, produces one of the most agonizing deaths of any disease. It is treated by In jections of a vaccine developed by Louis Pasteur in 18E5, but doctors have always sought a more sure protection against It. The Pasteur vaccine is made from the nerve tissue of animals that have died of rabies. A newer vaccine has been developed us ing chicken eggs,, and while it has been used successfully in animals it is not regarded as safe for human beings. It has been known for a long time that vampire bats, which are found in Mexico and Central and South America and live by sucking blood from other ani mals, are frequent victims of rabies. These bats have never been known to recover from the disease. A year ago researchers discov ered that insect-eating bats in Florida and Pennsylvania had contracted rabies. These bats, too, always died. Burns recently discovered evi dence of rabies in bats that are native to Texas. But these bats were not dead. They had re covered and were immune to the disease. Burns explained this is the first evidence there is any rabies virus that produces less than a ings. ' The question is: If this virus makes Texas bats immune to future attacks of rabies, can it do the same for human beings in the form of a vaccine? Much' more research is neces sary before the answer will be known. Burns added that, research into rabies cases, in bats may explain how rabies often makes its appearance hundreds of miles Bats have been known to travel up to 800 miles In their search for food. .
