Detroit Humane Society, who
spoke upon the value Of pets to
The pre-echool child. Mr.. John,
son claims that . vast amount Of
training on the part Of parents
il necessary Tor . little child to
gain from having . pet Of any
sort. The child must be taught
to respect the feelings Of the pet,
particularly o. regards pain.
Three main values can be de-
rived from association with pets.
he said. First. the qualities of fair
play. kindness and respect for
others can be developed; second,
necessity for regularity to as
signed duties; and third, the de-
sire for affection and compan-
ionship can be satisfied.
None Of these can be achieved,
however, he continued. unless
the parent teaches the child
proper behavior with pet.
Mr.. johnson advises that a
family know the background of
. dog for at least six months be.
fore taking him into the family,
or else to select q puppy and
bring him up with the child. He
feels that the kindest dog for a
tiny child is q Boston terrier.
OF cats, Mr.. johnson declares
too much cannot be expected Of
any of the feline family. Gold
fish and birds, or any pet one
might mention will give the de-
sired result, II the child is re-
quired to assume the RESPONSE
bility. The point Of pets Is lost
when the mother takes care of
them. he concluded.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-(R)
Representative Dingell ID
Mich) suggested to President
Roosevelt today that the United
States hold ~ hostages one hun
dred japanese for every Amer
lean prevented from leaving ia
pan.
Dingell wrote the President
that he understood that the Tok-
20 government had forbade the
departure of 100 Americans in
reprisal for the freezing Of jap
anese assets in this country.
II want to suggest" the letter
added, that If It Is the inten-
ton of Japan to enter into q
reprisal contest that we remind
Nippon that unless assurances
are received that Japan will
facilitate and permit the volun-
tary departure Of this group of
100 Americans within 90 hours,
the government Of the United
States will cause the forceful
detention or imprisonment In q
concentration camp of ten thous-
and Japanese in Hawaii: the ra-
ton Of japanese hostages held
by America being one hundred
for every American detained by
the Mikado's government"

Armadans Prepare for Gala Annual Fair Tonofpl
The Skipper Didn't Forget Your
Wedding Anniversary. MIR. Percival!

The planes continued on until
they were over the convoy and
then they, too, separated. Then
the bombs began dropping. Many
missed, of course, because the
barrage from the pom-poms of
the destroyers and the Lewis
guns of the freighters kept them
sufficiently high to make spot
aiming difficult. And, too, if
they dropped down too low the
armor plating along the bottom
of their planes would fail to
give protection. So they missed
with many of their bombs. but
did score twelve direct hits and
the S. S. Appleton was one of
the victims.
A one-ton bomb landed amid
ships. Captain Percival was
blown off his bridge. He fell
forty feet, and when he sat up
among the debris of sandbags,
matches and lifebelts he found
both his legs broken and his
knee joints shattered.

and the ship was taking water
fast. He ordered lifebelts on
everyone and the one remain
ing lifeboat lowered. The crew
was reluctant to leave, Captain
Percival says, but he made 1t a
definite move.
With the men on the move, the
Captain crawled along the deck
towards the saloon to get the
ships code books. But wreck
age INSTRUCTED the entranceway.
That is when seaman Watts
showed up and said he was stay
ing with the skipper. Percival
ordered him away but still the
man refused. So the Captain
sent him in after the books and
other confidential papers and
then, placing them in a weighted
bag, tossed them overheard.
All hands were now bobbing
up and down in the small boat,
floating on the water below. The
stern was about to dip under
and again Percival tried to get
Seaman Watts to Jump over
board and swim to that boat.
Instead, Watts ran to the rail
and shouted for two men to help.
The lines had not yet been cut
so two men scrambled up from
the lifeboat and with the ship
about to take its final plunge,
they lowered the captain down.
1T WAS CLOSE
BUT THEY MADE TT
The rope around his waist hurt
more than the broken legs, the
Captain says now, but that mat
tered little. For they made it
all right, and had just cut the
lines and taken half a dozen
strong pulls with the oars when
the ship went under.
The convoy had long ago dis
