In an account of a meeting of the

enormously stated that speakers at
the meeting discussed reports that
county authorities and officials of
the Prince Georges County Animal
Rescue League are rounding up, and,
in some instances shooting, so
called stray dogs" Re-examination
OF the proceedings fails to show that
any speaker accused the rescue
league of shooting stray dogs"
Mr.. Walton said the league also
will sponsor legislation providing for
inspection Of riding stables to main
tain proper health c6ndit ditions and to
see that horses are properly treated
"Ws are i nonprofit organiza-

CR1SFIELD, Md. Sept. 3o.-A fine
mink coat is wandering about on the
Eastern Shore today, and travelling
so fast its owner, State Senator Ell

up with it.
Actually. it's mink coat on the

animals, whose pelts are valued at
SIS to $40 each, escaped from Mr..
Dies farm and scattered in all
directions.
1T takes about IS pelts to make a

one on the loose" Mr.. Die said. II
don't have much hope of getting any
of them back, because I'm told that
a mink travels 80 miles night"
Mr.. DIE said a check showed
about $50 of the small animals still

! The Prince Georges County AMI
NAL Rescue League has cared for
more than 400 stray or abandoned
dogs during the six weeks 1t has
been in existence, John NJ Walton,
the organizations president, re-
vealed today.
Mr. Walton said that these dogs,
which in many instances have been
returned to their owners, otherwise
would have been killed or left to
roam the county.
THE league" he said, "has a
comprehensive program for the pro-
lection and care of all animals.
While its immediate aim is the al
deviation of the rabies problem in
the county, it also will sponsor legis-
lations designed to provide adequate
means of caring for all animals.
"We are a private organization =
Mr. Walton pointed out. "and do not
have any legal authority to pick up
stray animals or to dispose Of them.
The dogs which the league has cared
for have been turned over. to its rep
resentative by county officers"
Mr.. Walton said that dogs which
have been turned over to the league
by law enforcement officials are
kept at a kennel on Agar road for
five days. If the owner is located
he is asked to pay only the actual
cost of feed the dog has consumed.
This is the only fee charged.
In the event the owner is MOTTO
Gated, Mr.. Walton said, the league
attempts to find good home for
the dog.
Mr.. Walton said stray dogs in
Prince Georges County are becom-
ing real problem particularly since
