COS.
You've read all about how these
dogs are trained, how they can do
almost anything but breathe for
those in their charge, and mentally
you accept everything you read or
hear about them. But somehow
you don't think of them in terms
of New York city, where a person
blessed with agile legs and keen
eyesight has to be constantly alert
to keep from being bumped in the
chassis by a motor car even in
these gaso-lean days. All right for
mall town, but And st. and
Broadway.
The result is that every time you
witness one of these Seeing Eye
teams waking sturdily down the
street, waiting at the curb for the
proper light, crossing thorough
fares, entering stores, ETC., you have
feeling of seeing some new marvel
for the first time. You see it, but
you have to look twice before you
believe it.
The dogs have entree almost ev-
erywhere. One Of them even got
the better of Columbia Broadcast
ing System ruling the other day. A
blind woman living on Long Island
had been a fan of the musical pro-
gram, Here's to Romance" for a
long time and she wrote that she
wanted to attend broadcast-with
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-12-23

her dog, who was well trained and
wouldn't attempt to compete with
the performers. But there was a
ruling against dogs in the studio
and it looked like an impasse. Fin
ally it was arranged for the dog to
bring his mistress to the studio and
two attendants were assigned to
keep him happy while she entered
the studio and heard the broadcast.
THERE'S dancer over at the
l. Savoy Plaza's Cafe Lounge who
doesn't have anything against books,
but you'll pardon her if she prefers
singing and dancing. She eats bet
ter by associating with the latter
two arts, rather than with books.
Martha is the name and Puerto
Rico the native heath. Her exper-
fence with books consisted of being
librarian in the small Puerto Rican
town of Ranay after she had stud
led the business at the university.
She wound up with nice long case
of malerie when a mosquito instead
of bookWorm took bit out of her
and librarying didn't offer much
hope of paying off the hospital bills
that had accumulated. The result
was that she entered beauty con-
test, became miss Puerto Rico of
1882" and won a cruise trip to New
York.
The city didn't look promising to
a librarian, SO Martha decided to see
what her voice and dancing ability
would do for her. They got her an
addition and a contract at Leon and
Eddie's as starter, and she's been
eating regularly ever since.
