ing one third of the population,
viewed with mixed emotions today
the plan of welfare Administrator
Lewis j. Ludington to repatriate
$4,000 families of them-the new
comerS by force, the others by per-
suaSion.
There were families like that of
William Dye, his wife and three
children. who were routed from
their little western Nebraska farm
by dust storms and feel they cam
not go back.
I'VE sold the farm for a little
money and came here where I got
a job as mechanic" he said. Il was
laid off a couple of months ago
because business was so bad. If we
have to go back to Nebraska l
don't know what will become OF
us"
The Dyes are on Ludington's re-
lief rolls.
There were others like John
Black. 83 and toothless. who lives
with his sons family of eight in a
four room apartment. He thought
the deportation" idea was great
For years" he said. I've been
trying to get back to Huntington,

Brisk Walking
Here her husband interrupted to
recall hours Of marching to accuS-
tom Mrs. Chandler to the system
She had to learn to walk at three
miles an hour. And that is brisk
walking!
The dogs are trained by experts,
who themselves. must undergo
long course of years. Mrs. Chan
dler laughed, recalling that the
trainers must go about blindfolded
for days to learn the requirement
of blind persons. Patsy, like the
other dogs, went through a three
months course when she was IA
months old. The dogs learn faster
and retain their lessons better
when past the pup stage.
Only one word is used to re-
preach the dogs, "phui'', pronounc-
ed "fooey". 1t is a Swiss word of
reprimand, adopted because the
dogs are less likely to hear it from
anyone except tner owners.
Only One Boss
Vital factor in maintaining the
tricky balance necessary between
owner and dog, Mrs. Chandler ex-
planned, is that the dog must be
completely devoted to its owner
and be fully conscious Of respon-
sibility. For this reason, although
it is a difficult rule TO follow with
such an attractive animal as Pat

are introduced and then expected
to refrain from petting the dog.
Patsy must be a oneWoman dog.
For the same reason, friends are
discouraged from petting Patsy
while she is leading Mrs. Chandler
on the streets, or from helping in
any way. The dog must carry the
responsibility. If there is interfer-
ence Patsy may drop her guard.
The only time Patsy ever really
forgets her charge is when she sees

The dog is + years old. More than
2 years ago she was graduated '
from the Seeing Eye school at Nor
ristoWn. N. j.. where every year
approximately so similar dogs are
trained to guide blind folk Four
hundred dogs have been sent out
from MorristoWn in the past dec
ade.
Three Main Commands
ASIDE from minor commands,
such as to make the dog sit down or
to retrieve anything that I may
drop. there are only three main
orders, forward. right, and left,
Mrs. Chandler explained. Natural
~. I have a mental picture of the
pattern of El Centro streets. where
the stores are located and so on,
50 that 1 merely have to remember
the blocks to know where l am.
Patsy takes care of the rest.
The dog is trained to pause at
street crossings to warn her mis-
treSS of a curbing, to swing one
way or the other to avoid collidlng
with pedestrians, and to watch out
for motor cars. Apparently fully
conscious of her responsibility, Pat
sy waits on a street corner until she
is convinced she has time to cross
then starts off at a brisk trot.
A harness with a heavy hoop
shaped handle fits on Patsys back.
The handle. in Mrs. Chambers
hand. tells her exactly what the
dog is doing all the time.
Owners Trained

most as rigorous training as the
dogs" Mrs. Chandler said The
initial price of the dogs, $50, is
only part of it Actually the dogs
cost $1,000 to train, but donations
have lowered the price to blind
folk.

Silver Possession
Ban Lifted by FIR.

WASHINGTON, April %. (UP)-
Restrictions on silver, which made
it unlawful for individuals to pos
SesS silver except in coins or for
commercial use, were lifted today
by a presidential executive order.
A similar ban on gold was not
lifted. Both were imposed during

badly it is needed, would be costly 4
enterprise, whether government
loans are arranged or not" Mayor
Fawcett said. 1T is just possible
that federal grant might be ar
ranged that would be satisfactory,
but l doubt if it could be put
through.
Even under a setup whereby
WPA would produce part of the
cost, Ell Centre still would have
to supply a large sum, and I be-
lieve the city would hardly favor
another bond issue"
Mayor Fawcett limited at a plan
whereby the city might set aside
a sum from year to year in spe-
cial fund to be used for a new
city hall. In this manner, the cost
could be met by regular revenue,
without outside assistance.
My personal recommendation
would be that the city clean up its
present obligations before embark
ing upon a new program of any
magnitude" he declared. For ex-
ample, paying for the city library
and arranging for street improve
ment are. to my mind, more pressing
problems"
