Editor, Tall Tower Topics May we have space in your column to appeal to vacationSts not to abandon dogs and cats when they return to their homes? Each year many of these animals thoughtlesSy left behind by those who have enjoyed their company during the summer months and this has resulted in much unneces sary suffering Humane Societies and Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals scattered all over the United States and there very few places where the services of such societies cannot be secured to for the animals In most cases where dogs and cats abandoned they die lingering death from hunger and thirst We appeal to owners who cannot take their cat dog with them to get in touch with the nearest Humane Society P A. and request that the society find homes for the animals or have them humanely destroyed Sincerely yours, The American Humane Association, N. J. Walker, General Manager.

 The Dionne family has retreated behind on eight.foot board fence which hems in the still unpainted house, while.a wire fence and tho admission" sign are regarded as protection enough on the road.
 The fence was built by the North Bay Board of Trade, which exacted Q huge sign advertising the town as It's reward.

 Oliva Dionne's garage was moved across the road to adjoin his house and thus make room for the ex- tended nursery grounds.
 Farming on the Dionne place has been cut to tho minimum these days-there are more important and profitable affairs confronting the father of the quiflS.
 Everyone in the i1eighborhood with o legitimate claim to the name of Dionne has found Q source Of potential profit. Many of the signs proclaiming that name do not I1ec- cssarily mean that there are any Dionnes actively taking part in tho enterprises advertised. Some are distinctly silent partners, whose name waS their sole contribution.
