Pacific Coast City Presents
Wide Selection OF
Possible Sites

DAN FRANCISCO, No. "a. -
cosmopolitan San Francisco, con :.
WINGED that assignment of the Unit
ed Nations Organizations perma :
nent headquarters to the Golden
Gate is virtually certain, is eager
~ preparing for its expected debut
as the new world capital.
Despite woros of caution from
Mayor Roger Lapham and Dr..
Henry F. Grady, a former Assist
ant Secretary Of State who now
heads the Chamber of Commerce,
San Francisco civic leaders are
suggesting various sites and are
making elaborate preparations to
receive the war-born society of
nations.
Lets get UNO headquarters
here first before we start wrang-
ling about where to put it," Lap
ham and Grady contend.
Preliminary discussions have
turned a fleeting spotlight on va
rlous tracts which might be avail
able to the site solicitors who will
require, according to DR.. Grady,
at least 600 acres.
The rambling, beautifully land
scaped Preside, historic Army
reservations near the Golden Gate
Bridge, contains more than twice
the needed acreage. Some citizens

Should the UNO homemakers
desire location closer to the
downtown hotel, shopping and

proposal to raze largely run

CALIFORNIA; G ov ernor Earl
Warren and Mayor Lapham have
volunteered to grant virtually
anything the UNO wants. The
governor, in a message to the
United Nations preparatory COM
mission, declared that the state
was willing to cede any land re-
quired for the headquarters.
The Truman administration is
yet to be heard from on the mat
ter of extra-territorial privileges,
but no difficulty is expected in
this quarter, either.
Present tentative plans call for
the creation of a separate UNO
gendarmerie-which might be-
come the nucleus of the first in
ternational police force - to patrol
the 600-odd acre site of the world
capital.
1t has also been suggested that
the UNO may want a private air
port, where representatives of
foreign nations could come and
go w 'thout the usual passport and
customs restrictions.

centers, this city is now expert

A CHARITABLE DOG

A man in Des Moines, Iowa, put
a pan of food on his back porch
for his dog. The dog, a German
Shepherd, ate a lit e, then
grabbed a piece in her mouth and
went behind the barn with it..
Twenty minutes later the dog re-
turned, and again started off with
some in her mouth. The dogs
owner thought perhaps the animal
was i'll. For three days in success
sion the dog ate her food in this
manner.
Becoming worried, the dog
master summoned a veterinarian,
thinking there might be some OBJ.

ing her to carry away food with.
out swallowing it. The veterinari-
an found nothing wrong with the
dog. Food again was placed on the
back porch. When the dog started
off with some in her mouth, the
veterinarian followed her.
The dog went behind the barn,
headed across a field into some
woods. A few hundred yards fur.
Their on the dog stopped and de-
posted the morsel in front of q
little mongrel puppy that had beer
caught in a steel trap. The puppy
had been missing for almost two
weeks. How the German Shepherd
discovered the OF h e canine
plight, cannot explain. Nor can
1 tell you what caused the older
dog to take part of her food tc
the imprisoned puppy that as fa1
as could be learned, she had never
seen her before.

Although UNO sponsors do not
contend that foreign diplomats

or friendly. at your door.
What are you going to do with
the n d esired pet? Give him
away? Perhaps. Will the new own
err want him any more than you
do? Will he give him good home?
If you are prepared to keep him
and to do what you can for his
welfare, to be his comrade and to
teach him to serve you Loyalty and
lovingly, then he is the finest prize
you could win.
If he is turned loose or neglect
ed or il1-treated or passed on from
one negligent owner to another
and at last finds his way to the
dog pound, 1t would be better to
put him to death, mercifully, at
the start. It would be a thousand
times better to put a curb on this
wholesale p &C t i c e of offering
dogs haphazard, as prizes.
The sign. Beware the Dog is
so much in use that it can be
bought, printed and ready for
hanging, at any of a number OF
stores. You have seen it fastened
to innumerable dooryard fences
and trees. Whether or not you be-
lieve in signs, as rule, that is
one excellent sign to trust.

Usually the warning is justified.
Perhaps you think this austere
sign is product of our own
century. It is not. 1t was in gen
eral use at least two thousand
years ago. I have seen it in ar
theological museums; I have seen
it carved or scrawled in the Latin
form, "Cave Canem!" which says
Just what our modern sign says.
THE STORY OF A DOG
OF ANCIENT DAYS
Lysimachus, Alexander the
Greats chief general in many
campaigns, was killed in the bat
tie of Korus. As was the custom
in that day and age, his body was
laid atop a pyre of scented wood.
The wood was soaked in oil and
then set afire, while choristers
chanted the warlike virtues Of the
dead soldier.
Through the throng Of loudly
lamenting professional mourners
bounded hairy shaL e-the canine
comrade Of the slain warrior. The
dog sprang to the summit of the
blazing pyre and there Joined his
master in death.
THE QUESTION BOX
Question: I have an opportunity
to buy an 11-month-old collie pup
py. Do you think this is too old
to start with dog?-C. A. K.
Answer: I think the best age to
buy a pup is four months or less.
The youngster should set his very
first. knowledge of what is right
and wrong at the hands of the
owner who is to keep him for the
rest of the dogs life. But, II
months is not necessarily too old,
provided the pup is not at all shy
and has been properly trained up
to that point.
Question: My English Setter
bitch re Gently had some pups
sired by a mongrel. Will this have
any effect on future litters?-P. W.
Answer: No, it will not. If mated
with another English Setter, her
pups will be pure-bred.
