GERS stationed at Camp Dix at the cafe.
teria at the Devon Horse Show this
Friday. which, by the way. will be
Military Day. The band from Camp
DIX will play all day long. The whip
pet races will take place then. too. Have
YOU ever seen whippets? They are fas.
dnating and look like little greyhounds.
The ones I've seen are tan color and
very affectionate and playful. OF course
they run like streaks of lightning. The
ieatmans have great many whippets
at their place In Chestnut Hill, and, if
! am not mistaken. they won prizes at
Wynnewood last week.
