Raymond Scaggs has left his Peter
Pan Kennels and his duties In the
Old Dominion Kennel Club to as
sumo the more urgent duties Of top

understood that his daughter Gene
will shoulder his tasks in the ken
mel and Harry Lustine has assumed
at least part Of his duties, those Of
chief steward for the show. in the
kennel club.
Afghan hounds are apparently
coming into their own hereabouts.
Another new fancier of this exotic
breed is Mrs. Cleveland McCauley Of
Annapolis, who is donating her serv-
ices to making the Old Dominion
show a success so that Navy relief
may. benefit.
Two of our local bulldoggers have
judging assignments in early June
at northern shows They are How
ard Grimm, who dons the ermine
for the first time, and Arthur For
bush. Washington has an ex-
tremely active bulldog club and
boasts of having some of the best
sourmugs in the country.
The breeding and selling Of pure
bred dogs is entering a new phase
Of its existence as more and more
married men are being called into
war duties and away from home.
Kennel owners are hearing more
frequently the demand for dog
that is trained, partially trained or
easy to train as a watch dog that
can be left at home as guard and
companion for the wife and baby.
While small dogs are in demand
for these uses by people living in
urban or closely built-up suburban
districts, it is becoming increasingly
apparent that the medium size and
large dog is really coming into his
own. Even city dwellers are will
ing, now, to make the needed extra
effort to keep large dog in order
70 have the comfort of his presence.
In this connection, people are
willing to pay premium for train
ing. Those who specialize in dog
training now have a chance TO con-
tribute extremely valuable services
to the country and to their COM
munity by increasing their activi-
ties. Those who want a dog already
trained may get in touch with a
trainer by contracting the members
of their local dog-training classes.
Those who would prefer dogs they
train themselves and who enjoy
working with dogs will get much
pleasure and profit from joining one
of these groups.
Both professional and amateur
trainers are in demand right now
to train dogs for defense Sentry
dogs are needed Training for this
duty is a modification and simpli-
fication of the novice obedience test
rules.
Calvin Pierson, owner Of the
cocker spaniel Nietsche, C. D.. has
been transferred to Salt Lake City,
where he has promptly interested
himself in kennel affairs. He has
organized an obedience training
club, the first in that section of
the country.

This is the time Of year when the
dog feels spring in the air just as
much as his master. Instead OF
turning to love, his thoughts turn
to the fascinating, new scents rising
out of the warming earth, and moth
ing is more imperative to him than
to find out just exactly where those
scents originate. The fact that he
chooses for the basis of operations
his neighbor's lawn means moth
ing to him. If, in his exploratory
zeal, he uproots a few rose bushes or
choice bulbs, that still means Moth
ing to him. The only thing that
counts. for him, is to follow the
trail. 1t is up to his master, in the
interest of peace in the neighbor-
hood, to see that his deprivations
are made impossible. And the only
way to see to that is to keep him
confined to his own premises at all
times except when under the di-
rect control of responsible member
! Of the family. BY far the best
method of control and the safest for
the dog as we'll as the neighborhood
Is good fence. II that is entirely
impossible trolley stretched be-
tween trees or posts, and a reason
| able long chain with a swivel snap,
will give a dog some freedom of ac-
ton. But remember, if your dog
Is tied in an open yard, somebody

kill him because he cannot defend
himself or run away.
When the Old Dominion Kennel
| Club show opens ct the Alexandria
Baseball Park on April Is there
should be more than the usual num-
Der of high quality dogs in the local
classes. There are two reasons for
such an assumption. Now win in
the local classes carries more pres
tlge than it used to Quite recently
the American Kennel Club digni-
fed these classes by allowing them
group and best in show competition
with a special rosette for the big
local winner. Such a victory might
/ concelvably mean as much to a
hometown dog-and his oWner-as
the glory of best dog in show. For
the purposes of a dog show, local
is defined according to the whim
OF the Bench Show Committee. In
! the case of the Old Dominion Club
a local dog is one owned within a
radius of so miles of Alexandria.
This area has been noted for many
years for the ownership of some
top-f1ight show dogs. In recent
months the ranks of local dog fan
clers have been greatly augmented
by the addition of fanciers from all
over the country who are working in
Washington for the duration. Many
OF these fanciers have at least some
of their dogs with them. Many
others will have their best dogs
brought on by members of their
family who will thus combine their
favorite sport with visiting their
tavorite war worker.

 A test yellow "alert" signal was flashed to key points in the city's civilian defense set-up yesterday in preparation for the series of city wide incident tests which will be held Sunday.
