Somewhere there’s someone who’s
mighty sick ... and potentially ..dan-
gerous. Enough instances of cruelty
to dogs have been reported to make
this columnist warn all dog owners
to keep their dogs fenced in at home
and watch out for anyone attempting
to feed the dogs.
Dog poisoners are not. impossible
to catch ... but the frightening possi-
bility that a child will be a victim be-
fore they’re caught is always there.
The person who deliberately mains
or injures a dog can never be positive
the actions went unseen or reported
.. . and hence must be forever on
guard ... or report immediately for
treatment, since help for such a per-
son can be obtained if sought soon e-

Don’t get confused when you read
that P-TA met this Tuesday night
and will meet again next Tuesday
night. It’s so that the March meeting
will coincide with the Open House
and Public Schools Week.
Don’t forget to go visit the Junior
and Senior High buildings, too, in
your tour of the plant. They always
have fascinating exhibits, but par-
ents frequently get involved looking
at the children’s work in the lower
grades and forget to look in on the
upper grades.
On the program for the P-TA
meeting, incidentally, will be Mrs
Hawkes’ fifth graders. These are
the youngsters who learn some ukele-
le numbers in their vocal music class-
es and they enjoy a lot of rhythm in
their program.

Every now and then it seems like a
good idea to give a pat on the back
to someone and our candidate- this
week is GLENN BRASHEAR, who
has not only given a decade of ser-
vice as a City Alderman, but has al-
so served as a friend to the local
youth and adults.

‘■with pictures of ourselves, but Al-

the following note about the picture
of himself: “Don’t laugh ... It was
God’s idea.”
