Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-11-08

QUESTION: A letter from
Mrs. l.. J. A. says:
81 read your column every
evening. and most especially
pertaining to dogs. used To
make speciality OF breeding
toy Bostons, but now we have a.
little black and tan terrier,
really smarter than my pedi-
greed dogs. and we have also
acquired cat-at the OPA-
which was starving 10 death.
1--WE have no children, but a
lovely home, and we are won
dering II we are spending our
affections wi h no results.
have contributed donations 10
all the war efforts. Also my
hubby. We love animals. So
what: We want to be right.
We buy bonds. etc. hut we love
our pets. Are we wrong"
That ~ dee per question
than Ii sounds like. Pets are OF
ro tangible value TO mankind,
hut intangibly they are price
less. Pets. I'm a way. are like
women. They change men. Men,
left tn themselves. will forget To
wear neckties and will not wash
the dishes until there isn't any
thing left 10 eat from. Put one
woman in such "a group and see
what happens. The men Will
atop acting like pigs.
SO II IL with pets. Nobody
uho ever took care az a pet cat
or dog WAS the worse for 10. II
nothing else. YOU gain patience
and kindness. II Hitler had had
q pet terrier and loved II, he
might not have turned into such
q foul creature.
wish Mrs. l.. j. A. had ex-
planned how she came to find
the cat at the OPA, though.
That puzzles me.
IT Mrs L. J. A. and her hus-
band want TO do o m ct ing
more. they might think OF be-
coming Boy Scout or Girl Scout
leaders. Police officials have
told me that the percentage OF
former Boy Scouts who become
criminals is extremely small.
Come 10 think Of il. ! recently
had letter from a woman who
said that she had been told that
she was too old 10 become such
leader because she was as.
That doesn't seem too old 20
me, and that may have been
only an excuse. An adult who
can't remember how 10 ACT
young wouldn't be too good a
scout leader
FRA MEN OF THE
CITY: Even the lame, men
limping with canes. are doing
their part to win the war.

same street car and go into a
