Dear Editor,
Thanks for your courtesy in be-
ginning my subscription to the
Post so promptly. Thus, I was able
to enjoy news of the recent
reunion activities.
How good to see three of my
favorite columnists are continuing
their fine work - Perrilla
Brewster, Oochum Hutchison, and
Jimmye Taylor.
My thanks to Lottie Gibson for
the King County Recollections
item. I, too, laughed at the funny
story about the "almost killing" by
R. A. Simpson, father of my dad,
Charles Simpson.
Sincerely,
Zena A. Carter

VOTER CERTIFICATION STATEMENT
Subpart W of Part 2054 of Title 7, Code of Federal Regula-
tions requires that all eligible voters for FmHA county or area
committee elections meet the following eligibility requirements:
(a) be farmers or spouses of farmers; and (b) have their principal
farming operation within the county or area for which the election
is being held.
The dog days are upon us, and
the weather is not fit for man nor
beast.
Which brings me to the subject -
- - a lady talked to me last week
about a neighbor who keeps a dog
out in a pen in the yard; just a
small pen, right out in the hot sun.
She said the poor animal has no
shade at all, most of the time no
water, and is just a bag of bones.
This lady was very upset at the
treatment of the dog and won-
dered if there is no ordinance or
law that would make it punishable
by fine or something, to treat a
helpless animal in this way.
She said she had called and
talked to the Humane Society
about the problem, and they refer-
red her back to her local law en-
forcement. She really doesn't want
to get involved in a hassle with her
neighbors, but thinks — as I do -
- that something should be done.
This is not an isolated case in
our fair city. I can think of at least
two or three other instances in
which a poor dog or other "pet" is
I have learned to let other folks
tend to their business in most
cases, and through a few unpleas-
ant experiences, have learned not
to poke my nose into someone
else's affairs - but there are some
things that burn me so badly, I
can't keep my mouth shut. One of
them is cruel, thoughtless treat-
ment of helpless dumb animals!
I realize that everybody who
has a pet — dog or cat or horse -
- isn't always able to provide the
most luxurious accommodations
for that animal. It isn't necessary,
anyway. But it is only human kind-
ness to provide water, food, and a
little shelter from this relentless
sun and heat.. . . and a kind word
and a pat on the head once in
awhile. If you're not willing or able
to put out at least that much effort,
for goodness sake, get rid of the
animal in a humane way, or better
yet, don't get one to begin with!
