Won't Accept Pets.
With several hundreds of chill
dren throughout the city planning
to take part in the children's bond
auction from to pm. Sunday in
the United States Chamber of Com
merce Building, the War Finance
Committee announced that it had
been decided to accept no more pets
for the sale.
I'VE want the toys that the chill
dren want to give up. This is the
children's auction, and the toys they
love which they want to sacrifice we
want to sell. However, the COM
mittee has decided to place the
main emphasis on toys and not on
pets. Four dogs have been ac-
cepted for the auction, but the COM
mittee is not asking for any more
a committee spokesman said.
The decision was made, because
of the dificulty in making sure pets
were bought by persons who would
care for them as their former own
ers had, and because it was felt
that sale of toys would give the
children their chance to sacrifice
something they loved without run
ming the risk of causing unhappi-
ness to some household pet.
