Army Logs in Training Dogs,
Kennel Club Here Is Told

Edward T. Boswell, regional direc-
tor of Dogs for Defense, Inc, told
members and guests of the National
Capital Kennel Club yesterday of his
organiza tons work and the urgent
need of trainers and dogs for Army
duties. His talk was preceded by a
speech read by Capt. William Comp
ton. pinch-hitting for Col. Gregory
Smith, who is in charge Of the
Army dogs in this section.
Col. Smith pointed out that this
country is far behind other COM
blatant nations in the use OF trained
dogs. Russia is supposed to have
an army of $4,000 trained dogs.
Germany is said to have an army OF
twice that number. Before her
entry into this war, Japan was
amassing an immense reserve OF
the finest dogs available in Ger
many. England made good use OF
army dogs in Libya. This country
must make up for lost time in
amassing a canine corps, Col. Smith
held. adding that in sentry duty,
one good dog is worth 8 to 10 men,
especially after dark.
A good beginning has been made
in various sections of the country
at dog training, and an undisclosed
number of dogs are already on
active duty at various camps and
depots. In Baltimore, there are now
II trainers devoting their time to
this work. Six dogs are now ready
to turn over to the Army, and Is
Evening star., 1942-06-05

are in the process of being trained.
All the trainers are volunteers and
all the dogs are donated. However,
there is fund to pay the dogs
board if the volunteer trainers can
not undertake both the training and
boarding.
L. Wilson Davis, one of the lead
ing Baltimore trainers. explained
the system now being used in that
area of training both the dogs and
the men who are going to handle
them in actual service. This work
is almost entirely in the hands of
obedience club members, and women
as well as men are making a great
success of it.
Dogs to be trained must be pure
bred, physically sound, between the
ages of ! and 5 years. Males and
females are acceptable, and Col.
Smith suggests dogs that weigh a
minimum of so pounds are most
desirable. Dogs should be neither
too friendly nor too shy in tenn
permanent. The usual training Pc
riod is from one and a half to six
months. with a minimum of one and
a half hours daily. The routine is
simple. The principal requirement
is thai the dog be absolutely steady
and Immediately responsive to
orders.
Trainers, as well as dogs, are
wanted Immediately. Full informa-
ton may be obtained from Edward
T. Boswell, Munsey Building, Balti-
more, Md.

Reassured by a go-ahead signal
from New Jerseys civilian defense
director, the Newark and Jersey City
teams of the international League
will meet their opponents under the
lights of their home parks tonight
in spite of new Army regulations
which threaten to ban nocturnal
play.
Although orders to screen or ex-
tinguish all indoor and outdoor
lighting on the New York, New
Jersey and Delaware coasts were
issued from I'd Corps Area head
quarters, their enforcement hinges
on State and local defense officials.
And Civilian Defense Director
Leonard Dreyfuss said there would
be no tightening of the dirnout regu-
lations before tonight because the
orders have not reached local
authorities.
So at $50 pm. Jersey City will
open a double -header against
Rochester in Roosevelt Stadium at
Jersey City.
At Newark's Rupert Stadium, the
Bears meet Buffalo in single game.
Yesterdays Buffalo-Newark con-
test was postponed, along with a
double header between Toronto and
Syracuse and a single game at Balti-
more between the Orioles and
Montreal.
