Palace.
DR.. Elizabeth Conger, for years
devoted to the dog pond and a we'll
known physician, and DR.. Frank
S. c. Wicks, pastor of All Souls
Unitarian church, we're the judges.
These two read for hours the
MANY letters from boys and girls
telling why they wanted to own
Michael, what kind Of home and
love they would give her.
After the two judges had read
letters until they had tears in their
ewes. they awarded Lady Michael"
to Carolyn.
Her winning letter is as follows:
"T want to tell you why I honestly
think 1 deserve a dog. I am little
girl 10 years old. I have no broth
ers or sisters and very few children
to ever play with. I dearly love
dogs and had one up until Christ
mas time.
It named my dog Laddie Boy
and I raised him from puppy just
a few weeks old. We were great
pals. He would play in the snow
with me. go coasting or play in the
rain with me.
Il live out of the city and go TO
school on a school bus and Laddie
Boy would try every morning to get
on with me and every evening he
would watch for me to come home
to play with him.
He was a smart dog and a good
dog and I helped battle him and to
fix him a nice dog house. One day
while was at school a stray dog
we had never seen came in our yard
and bit my dog.
"Laddie Boy didn't act right. SO
we took him to the hospital and he
died. Oh, Mr.. Editor, sometimes I
close my eyes and reach my hand
over my chair to see if Laddie Boy
wouldn't still be there so could
feel his little head.
Il ask and ask mother to get me
another dog, but could never have
one as nice as Michael. If you
would give Michael to me, Mr.. Edi-
tor, I would promise never to be
lonesome again and I promise to-
love him and be good to him al
ways
Your little lonesome friend
CAROLYN ANN HEITKAM."
Last night, JAG FleX, manager Of
the Palace, and Joe Shea of the
theater and myself took Lady
Michael" out to meet her new mis-
tress and see her new home.
Here was a beautiful home in q
marvellous acre of ground near a
fine golf course.
AS soon as Carolyn saw Lady
Michael, she screamed, ooh, did 1
win Michael?"
Two little loving arms went
around the neck of Lady Michael
and Flex. Shea and myself knew
that DR.. Conger and DR.. Wicks had
discovered the real heart interest
behind the letter of Carolyn.
Just then cute little kitten came
into the lovely living room. The
kitten was obtained for Carolyn by
her grandfather when the winner
had not been announced several
days ago
And so Carolyn and Lady
Michael are tremendously happy.
