on the least provocation by po-
litical office holders muddling
world affairs, we send out edicts
calling upon the citizenry to
turn the total resources of the
nation into the production Of
terrible machinery capable Of
destroying the material face Of
the earth. Are we educated

anything more than an animal?
Or is II Just the folk that we
hate that are barbarians
To quote further from the edi-
torial mentioned above. ITO en-
body these principles into
society OF the future, men must
be inspired by forces which
spring from q deeper dimension
OF life. This has often been
overlooked or forgotten in re-
cent generations and this is the
cause of the crisis OF our civili-
zation." Are we In America,
who are called upon to fight the
war, to till the fields and to de-
fend the homes, are we educated
in the deeper dimensions Of life?
Or are we gorged on material

Editor The Times: With all
the talk about war and defense,
we seem TO forgetting the little
things in life.
Being a lover Of dogs, and q
citizen in the city Of Tacoma, l
bow my head in shame when I
think of how the poor creatures
are treated. I wonder how many
people in Tacoma have seen the
appalling sight at the Tacoma
dog pound. A few months ago
was down 10 the pound, stu
ated in q very undesirable part
Of town. and found dead dogs
that had been dropped into
buckets and were lying in the
back yard covered with flies and
maggots. ! saw small puppies
that had not been taken care Of
and were blosted until they
could hardly walk.
have just this day returned
from a drive. during which
stopped al the pound. There
were some 10 dogs there az the
time, four Of them being small
puppies. One little cocker
spaniel, not over six weeks old
was 50 filthy and hungry that it
brought tears 10 my eyes. How
some small child would love 10
have such q dog. Il it was prop
erly cared for.
The one thing that makes my
blood boil is the fact that every
time I have been down there I
have never found anyone there
70 look after the dogs. What is
wrong with US? Have we for
gotten about mans best
frends Can't something be done
for these poor animals? Why
not build decent pound where
dogs can be kept clean and dis
posed Of properly. Why let
Seattle and millions Of other
cites make US look So cheap
l thank God that nv cog has
never been and will never De in
such horrible place.
