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.

Educational TV
Agreement for
Oregon Signed
Portland - (CPU An agree
ment between the Extension
Division of the Oregon Sys
tem of Higher Education and
Community Television, Inc.,
was signed here Thursday
with a view toward bringing
educational television to Ore
gon.
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.

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).

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.

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.
