Towser as the old vaudeville ac-

O. O. Mcintyre and Bob Davis

largely by their ability to come
UP with a good dog story once

THERE WAS ONCE AN OLD

about another kind of animal.
He was a man who was stanchly
in favor of virtue, and opposed
to vice; but he did not like to
get into trouble. He was a man
who couldn't stand enemies
that is, having enemies. 1t gave
him indigestion. But he was a
powerful writer. and he liked to
express himself. So every week
or so he would come out with a

at a dog for a few minutes, watch
how he responds to talk and to
calls, how he romps around in a
sense of play, or fails to; how
his eyes and facial expressions
respond to a friendly voice-and
al thereby get a pretty reliable
idea whether or not he is a good

OF course there are some sneak
dogs in this world, just as there
are some sneak people. Some of
the tail-waggers will turn and
bite YOU if they get a chance,

may turn and knife you. But
generally these sneak dogs come
grovelling at the feet, with head
down; and they constantly sink
toward the rear in order to get
set for a sneak attack. The char

Letters To The
Editor
Editor, Chronicles Star,

Editor, Chronicle-Star
Dear Sir,
| have just finished reading
your editorial on the killing Of
game fish IN what is known az
Sinking River
am glad that the newspapers
are really backing the citizens of
this community in trying to get
our politicians to do something
about it.
Your editorial was to the point
simple enough for the Game
and Fish Commission big-shots to
understand.
Mr.. Editor, | have heard about
this killing of fish before, but
let me eli you this, l never was
so hurt before in my life until |
saw it with my own eyes. I'm
really ashamed of myself for
buyirg licenses to hunt and fish
in the state of Mississippi when
our Gene Commission lets the
corporations kill them by the
millions.
Tuesday evening Edwin Mays,
Vernes Barnes, Mr.. Geiger and l
went to Cu1nbest's Bluff to see
the sight and no words can de
serloe the disgust that we had
for the source of poisoning that

killed these fish. The people
there told US we should have
come up a day earlier; they had
TUNED the hogs out to eat those
lead fish to keep them from de-
caying. The stencil there Was
terrible. With every breath we
took we got shotgun mad. Some
thing must be done!
Why should our own laws make
us criminals? Why should we be
made to abide by our laws as
individual Is and yet the cor
porate enterprises do as they
please? What is wrong with the
state OF Mississippi? Why don't
our representatives do some
thing? Wry doesn't our board of
supervisors condemn this killing
publicly End 10 the Governor?
Why does the state maintain a
fish hatchery over at Lyman,
Miss, with the taxpayers mon
ey? Why?
Mr.. Editor. don't stop this work
against pollution. Please let's not
let this matter cool off!
Sincerely,
r. A. Khayat,
Moss Point, Miss.

WE DO NOT KNOW MUCH

about dogs, but we know Spot is
a good one, and we would bet
that the bird dog instinct is so
strong in him he could be trained
to be a fine field dog, even
though he is a monsrel. Come to
think about il, we have seen good
coon dogs and rabbit dogs of
every shape, size. and every col
or of the rainbow, but we dc not
recall ever having seen a mon
grel made into d trained field
dog. We wonder if it can be done.

elined to believe it can.

WHEN WE MAKE MISTAKES

with dogs like this, and with
people like this, it is generally
our own fault; we can really
look at them and know better.
But the human breed will tell
US something we want to hear,
flatter us, or promise something
we desire very much; and our
own weakness overcomes our
honest instincts, and we are TAX
en- in. And of course. it is sad
but true that a lot of us have a
bit of the sneak in our own ma
lures, and the more this is the
ease. the more we are likely to
find ourselves running with such
a pack.
