some difficulty deciding how to move
it, but finally took it apart, carried
the pieces to the Bryan backyard
and then reconstructed it.
Gong Is Gift.
After the house had been put
back together, the question OF a
fire alarm arose-and that is where
the gong came in.
"A boy up the street had a dog
that was always running away"
John explained. "He got the gong
and every time he rang it, the dog
would come"

was killed and his master presented
the gong to the Rinky Dinks.

When Peter was four years old, he

He would draw himself up to his
full height, stick his head under the

possible-and, presto! He'd be fac

Peter must have felt that mama

nose right next to the plate and
wait for some one to come and feed
him.
When Peter was IA years old, his
personality was seriously affected by
the coming of our pet squirrels.
They had most annoying habit of
jumping on top of him at critical
moments. But since they were pets

Working in art metals, craft
which is centuries old, Maurice LIE
Roy May, jr., Of Falls Church, Va,
has found a hobby which he hopes
eventually will provide him with a
means of making his living.
Maurice, who graduated from Nc
Kinley High School last February,
turned out copper bowl as his first
product after starting a course in
metal working three years ago.
IT was pretty proud of it then"
he said, "but now it doesn't look as
good to me as it did"
Since his first piece, Maurice has
made more than so articles. He
works in almost every common
metal, including copper, brass, Ger
man and sterling silver, pewter and
nickel.

when we freed the squirrels he be-
came normal again.
In his 16 years he has learned to
judge the human members of his
family very well. He has never
scratched or hurt any one. Still
more remarkable is the fact that he
has never killed birds. Every once
in a while. though, we hear a COM
motion in the garden, and see Peter
summing himself near the bird bath,
while dozen irritated birds hurl
invective at him from the branches
above.
There's not much more to say
about Peter, except that he is a very
nifty dresser" He lives only to be
admired, and when we have guests
one always can be sure of finding
Peter posing at the head of the
stairs, with his white spots generally
immaculate.
His attitude seems to be-"Look
