have ever received Most of my

seemed TO think the piece we
had on Capt. Don Scott and
Harmon was okay.
And for the scores Of people
who have written in inqulrlng
why all three local major ra-
do stations carry the same
football game each Saturday in
stead of taking the three ma
jor games we can only say this
is something only the heads
OF radio stations can explain.
We suspect il centers around
a little item known as "spon-
sorS."
TO the S27 hunters who in
they were the first 10 re-
Urn 10 Detroit with deer this
year, and therefore should have
a picture in the paper. We can
only say: Seasons Greetings,

To the 239 hunters who claim
they shot the buck with the

Stray Dog Problem
41OOO ROAM DETROIT STREETS
By DON GILES

Why dogs are so often the VIC
Tins az human mistreatment re-
mains one OF lies inexplainabie
mysteries.
Cruelties suffered by animals AZ
( the hands of men are frequently
considered Of trifling importance
IN the light of human suffering
that civilization with Us war in
fllcts But that does not excuse
mankind for the mark Of Savagery
Of which only he can be guilty Of.
At the Detroit Humane Society,

figures on what is happening 10
our. dogs and animals during these
trying war days.
You'll learn there arc between
$4,000 and 1900 stray dogs in
the city
The dictionary defines the word
stray simply.
~ domestic animal that j.
lost or wandering throughtlesSly
or almlessIy a walf.'
LACK KINDNESS
What the dictionary doesn't say
IS that people lacking in kindness
abandon their dogs, forcing them
10 become wanderers in search Of
shelter and food.
Some Of us are born with the
instinct OF kindness for defense
less creatures Others acquire this
trait with the deepening of their
interest IN animals
Those lacking in this are the
ones who cause Clifton f. John

Society, 10 be swamped with tele-
phone calls revealing stories of IN

The latter group. however. arc

cumStanceS existing IN a crowded
city like Detroit, they realize
the most merciful method of dis

"The first duty Of the society
Is To trace the rightful owner"
Johnson said as he supervised
the unloading of several dogs IN
one of the Society's modern
ambulances.
III this II impossible and the

next step is TO rehsbilitate II.
