You and Your Pet (Prepared under the auspice of tha Southern Oregon Humana Society) It every picture of a "Boy and hij dog" were laid end to end, the earth would probably be girded several times. Every boy and girl should have a dog; but there Is one angle of the dog picture that seems to have been over looked almost entirely. The elderly person and his dog. A child is young and can romp and play and run hither and yon, but the elder person partly from weariness of liv ing and partly from infirmi ties that accompany age has to stay put, more or less. For such, a dog is of incompar able value. This elder person may be able to take long walks, sel dom can any younger mem ber of the family find time to accompany grandfather or grandmother on these walks. So grandfather walks alone, looking as if he liked it, Hoping he may find some crony with whom he has sat on the park benches a few times. But a dog on the end of the leash, grandfather will find himself occupied and Interested. This should not be the family dog but his own pet Actually, the dog is worth far, far more to old people than to the boy. The boy has ao many interests and the aged, despite their valiant courageous effort to pretend busy-ness", have so few. A boy and his dog? It is fine, yes. But an old ster and his dog ah, that should be quite as well known, and in time to come, no doubt, every son and daughter will see ' to it that mom and dad or grandpa and grandma possess a dog for companionship and for protec tion. If you want a good pet talk to the Humane officer at 2902 Table Rock rd., or call NOrmandy 4-2406. Tell him what kind of dog or cat you would like, perhaps he may not have the one you . want, but dogs and cats are coming in all the time. So if you can qualify, you can get a won derful pet! Apparently lost, a small dog was running about on s. bus I boarded recently. When a little boy and his mother got on, he immediately adopts ed the boy, and the child was enchanted. Soon he was beg ging to be allowed to take the puppy home, but his mother explained that he already be longed to someone. "No he doesn't, lady," the bus driver said. "He was left here and I'm afraid I'll have to take him to the Pound." It was a happy boy and dog that got off the bus. A few days afterward on a bus again saw a puppy, this time making friends with an elder ly gentleman. I patted the dog and asked what kind he was. "I don't know," said the man, "but I wish I had one like him." At once the bus driver spoke up the same driver: "If you want him you can have him. Someone left him here." As the man got off with the puppy, I questioned the driver. "My dog Bessie had pups," he explained. "I'm helping her find good homes for them. Nearly 17 million Ameri can families own upward of 22 million dogs. Perhaps as many more wonder if they should own one. So from both groups comes a steady stream of queries. s Can every dog be trained to obey? Yes, indeed; but the rule holds: "You must know more than the dog." Canine delinquency, like juvenile de linquency, stems from lack of proper home-training. The best way to learn how to "bring up" your dog is to enroll in a Obedience Train ing course, sponsored by the Southern Oregon Kennel club. You can get all the in formation by calling your Humane Society. Four years in a row Med- ford people have taken the top place in the Obedience Trial at the Roseburg Dog show. This year Melvin Weav er with his German shepherd, Major, was the winner of the novice A class with a score of 193 out of a possible 200 points. This dog is only 11 months old and is a graduate of only one 10-week obedi ence course. Second place was taken by Kay Nelson and her Collie, Keller, with a score of 192 VS. IMPROVE YOUR FIREPLACE!

The two agencies hope to have Channel 10 in Portland on the air, with relay con nection to Channel 7, KOAC TV in Corvallis, by next Sep tember. Community Television, Inc. is a Portland area citizens group which has laid the groundwork over the past few years for an FCC appli cation for Channel 10 by get ting gifts of equipment and facilities. The 1957 Legisla ture made a commitment for State operating support but this was not used. To Ask Capital Outlay A bill is expected to be submitted to the current Leg islature to provide capital outlay money and operation al funds for the 1959-61 bi ennium. The General Extension Di vision is the outlet for all Oregon's tax-supported insti tutions of higher learning and it operates the state educa tional station at Corvallis. Under the agreement signed by Mrs. Robert E. Stearns, president of Community Tele vision, Inc., and Dean James Sherburne of the Extension Division, the Oregon Board of Higher Education and Chancellor John R. Richards will apply for license to op erate Channel 10.

May Brown, handling her Sheltie, Bridget, for the first time in a licensed trial, tied for fourth place with a score of 190. Twelve dogs were in competition in this class. Uninhibited dogs are as of fensive as uninhibited chil dren. The first and most im portant lesson for your dog is to learn the word "come.'.' Teach this word to a puppy by calling him in a coaxing tone and giving him some lit tle reward. Make "come" the most af fectionate and important thing in his life, and in two days he will know what it means. The common and most exas perating fault of the un trained dog is not to come when calied. Letting a dog out for his final run on a cold or rainy night can be un pleasant when the dog de cides to investigate the doings of nocturnal neighbors. But an obedience-t rained dog comes on call instantly. HUMANE JOE. Habitual Criminal Parole Bill Passed Salem-flJPD-The House Fri day passed with only two dis senting .votes a bill permit ting the possibility of parole for nine men now at Oregon State penitentiary. . Rep. George Van Hoomis- sen (u-Portland) explained that all the men were sen tenced under the habitual criminal act. Van Hoomissen said that the fact that persons sentenced under the habitual criminal act did not have the possibility of parole was against the pro vision of the Oregon constitu tion that imprisonment was for the sole purpose of reformation. He also said it was hard on the morale of other men at the prison and on the nine men themselves. Voting against the bill were Reps. Winton Hunt (R-Wood-burn) and Victor Atiyah (R-Portland).

OPEN EVERY MONDAY UNTIL 9 P.M. Mrs. E. S. - Brenda's hints hurt Harriet. Brenda P. - They want nothing to do with us now that they don't need us. Mrs. E. S. - I am the mother of two fine daughters. Both are married and have children and it seems to me that they should be far above quarrels and pettiness. But I'm afraid that isn't the case. Brenda happens to be mar ried to a well-off businessman and Harriet is married to a very fine actor who has a hard time making ends meet. There was one period in which he made nothing at all and Brenda took Harriet and her family into her home. She had plenty of room so it was no great problem to her. During the past year Har riet's husband has been quite successful and Brenda has been hinting that they ought to pay back some of the money they owe. This hurt Harriet very much. She feels Brenda ought to understand that their situation is very uncertain. I told Brenda how wrong she is in view of the fact that she doesn't need the money. Brenda P. - My mother has always sided with Harriet, no matter what the issue. For years she has been sighing to me about poor Harriet and her hardships, but I don't see that sister of mine going out and rustling up the fam ily bacon on her own as do the wives of many actors. My mother looked horrified when I even suggested the idea. We had room for my sister and her family m our home, but that doesn't mean it was just nothing to us. We went out of our way to make them comfortable. Now that they are out on their own, they don't even bother to get in touch with us or to invite us to their parties. . When I mentioned this last fact to my mother, she said that after all, my husband and I "wouldn't fit in with their friends." The Council: Brenda ex presses her resentment a bit crudely, but we think she is justified in feeling it. Her hints that the money Harriet and her husband owe ought to be repaid may be just a way of saying she'd appre ciate a reasonable amount of respect from her sister and brother-in-law. We get the impression that Mrs. E. S. is responsible for fostering the ill-feeling that exists between the sisters. Apparently she is pleased with Brenda's convenient marriage to a well-off busi nessman, but she takes real pride in Harriet's marriage. Color Spice v- jcL Just the simplest of stiches presto!

She is awed by the glamor of the acting world and sees no reason why a sister who lives in that ratified atmos phere should show consider ation to a sister who belongs to the humdrum world of money grabbing. Harriet may have sold her on this view out of a need to build up her own and her husband's ego during the dark years of fail ure." However, It Is a view of things that is all wrong from a human point of view, and Mrs. E. S. needs to unwell herself on it. Instead of ac cusing Brenda of lack of un-j derstanding of her sister's problems, she ought to let Harriet know that being mar ried to an artist does not ex empt her from the ordinary human decencies - such as sisterly thoughtfulness and acknowledgement of favors. Cannery Operator Dies at The Dalles The Dalles-(EPD-William J. Seufert, 72, of The Dalles, who operated a huge cannery east of here with his broth ers for many years, died Fri day after a heart attack.
