A REMARKABLE BLIND DOG

A few years ago, Jerry Hart of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, drove to
Anka, a town twenty five miles
distant. Accompanying Mr.. Hart
was Patsy" his mongrel dog,
who is totally blind. When Hart en-
tered his automobile to start back
home, Patsy was missing. Evil
IDENTIFY she had been stolen. For
over three hours, Hart, with the
help of local police, searched for
his missing pet, but not trace
of the dog could be found. Re-
luctantly he gave up the search
and drove back to Minneapolis.
A week passed. Two weeks, and
still no word about the Kissing
dog. Then, one morning Hart
heard familiar bark at the front
door. 1t was Patsy. Where she had
been or how she returned home
was mystery. Many dogs have
returned from greater distances
some from as far away as 1900
miles, but when you realize that
Patsy was totally blind, her re-
turn, 1 think, is remarkable. How
did she do it? l can't explain. 1t
is just another example of the *
traordinary instincts that dogs pos
sess, but this time used without
the aid Of sight.

Gen. Yan1ashita Accused
OfSending 600 To Death

MANILA, Dec. 1.-lR}-A pint
sized Japanese colonel with an
owlish look testified at the war
crimes trial of 1t. Gen. Tomoyuki
Yamashita today that the generals
nonchalant nod on one occasion
sent 600 Filipinos to the firing
squad without trial.
Perched on the witness stand
with his feat barely touching the
floor, dinhinutive Col. Hideo Nj
shiharu said he headed the judge
advocate generals department of
Yamashita' command and one day
reported to him there was large
number of suspected guerrillas in
custody whom the military police
were ready to kill.
Nishiharu asserted that Yama-
shita merely nodded at this, which
he took as approval for waving
any hearings or trials and turning
the group over to the MP's.
So at least 600 out of the group
of about 1000 suspects then were

DAY NURSERY FOR DOGS


other large sized commercial en-
terprise, years ago, added greatly
to the numbers of their customers
by establ: shing day nurseries
where babies could be wisely tend
ed while their mothers were shop
ping or at the theater. And now,
in London, day nurseries have
been established for the benefit of
dogs.
The idea is said to have started
in a big movie theater-or cinema
which furnished one of its extra
rooms with dog show benches of
various sizes, and with baskets.
Here. while his owner was spend
ing the afternoon at the movies on
the floor below, Fido could be
checked for a small fee.
Here he could be fed and exer-
c:sed and have a soft bench or
basket bed to doze on. Expert ken
nelmaids were in attendance. In
brief, Fido was safe and happy
and was as scientifically cared for
as any human baby i'll day
nursery.
The plan caught on, instantly.
Other such nurseries and rest
rooms were established in various
parts of the city. A vexing great
domestic problem was solved for
countless matinee-goers: What to
do with the dog while they were
away from home. Gladly they paid
the fees; and the new enterprises
began to make goodly profits for
their investors.

WHEN HE NEEDS A BATH

Too few people know how to give
dogs bath. Often you don't even
get him thoroughly clean or rid
him of his fleas. Often you neglect
to keep him from catching bad
cold while he is drying.
Partly fill a tub with lukewarm
water, with plenty of suds from
some bland type OF soap. Before
you put the dog into it, rub thick
ring of half-dry soap around his
neck like collar. Later, this can
be washed out easily. Meanwhile,
it helps to keep fleas from swarm
ing forward from his drenched
body and taking refuge in his fur
ry ears.
Lift him into the tub, and begin
to souse the water all over him,
taking care to keep it out of his
eyes and nose. Make him lie down
in the water-keeping his head
well above it-while you scrub him
vigorously, yet not hard enough to
bruises his sensitive skin. Make
him lie down once more while you
rinse him. Then, empty the tub.
Pour gently over him plenty Of
clean lukewarm water, still scrub
bling hard.
Rub him dry with rough towels,
especially his chest and stomach.
Wash his head separately and
carefully. Keep him indoors-but
far away from the fire-till he is
bonedry. Don't let him lie down
outdoors or stand in the wind for
several hours thereafter.

HOW FAR CAN DOG RUN

You don't have to worry about
your dog getting too mud exer-
cixe. The endurance of a dog is
almost unreasonable. I have seen
foxhounds chase after a fox for
twenty-four hours without a mo-
ment's rest. OF course, the aver
age dog can run ten or fifteen
miles without becoming seriously
fatigued. Let your dog run as long
as he wants to. 1nstinctively he
will know when he has had
enough.

The barley was called by the Shipbuilding Stabilization Com mittee, now a unit of the Depart ment of Labor, in which labor, management and three government agencieS-Army, Navy and Mari time Commission-are equally rep resented.
 The A. F. of L. contingent was by far the largest at the confer ence. It was headed by President John P. Frey, veteran of the Fed eratiou's Metal Trades Department, and included many top officials of affiliated unions as well as dele gates from major locals and Metal Trades Councils in shipyard cen- ters.
 AFL's One Demand-Wages
 A. F. of L. unions are concen- trating on one fair and simple de- mand-namely, that their pay rates shall be increased by an amount sufficient to restore their real wages as of April l, 1941, which have in effect been slashed by the skyrocketing of living costs.
 Even government figures show a rise in living costs of about 35 per cent, but A. F. of L. delegates de- clared they intend to demonstrate that the increase has been much greater-more nearly Al per cent, as disclosed in a separate cost-of- living investigation conducted some time ago by organized labor.
 During the war, wages of ship building workers were boosted by only a fraction of the hike in liv- ing costs.
 Recall "F. D.'s" Promise
 The last general increase was in the summer of 1922 when the un- ions accepted an 8-cent-an-hour boost, though their contract en- titled them to much more. They made the sacrifice following an urgent appeal from President Roosevelt, who cited the fear of imitation"
 A. E. of l.. SpokeSmen contend the time has now come to restore to the employees all they have sacri- feed so that they be made whole" in other words, that their wage rates be brought on a par with &C., tual living costs.
 A. F. of L. unions are not nama ing the actual percentage increase

Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
 Kansas City, Kans., Dec. 5-Im- pressive gains are being rolled up by the Boilermakers, both in ob- taining recognition at new plants and in negotiation of wages in- creases, the unions headquarters here disclosed this week.
 Typical of the advances was a decisive victory scored by the Boilermakers and other A. E. of l.. craft organizations in 6 National Labor Relations Board election among employees of the big Her cules Powder plant in Brunswick, Ga.
 This follows a number of other triumphS in Georgia communities. Recently the Boilermakers won elections at four major contract shops and several smaller ones in Atlanta, and negotiations are now under way for an agreement.
 Also, contract has just been signed with the Union Bag and Pa- per Company of Savannah, follow ing an election victory.
 Week by week, the Boilermakers have also been negotiating pay boosts for members over the bar gaining table. For example, the other day the union won raises of 9 to 12 cents an hour for 2,00O shop employees of the R. G. LeTourneau Company, Peoria, H., makers oi earth-digging machinery and other equipment.
 The increases were retrOac-
 tive to August 20, thus assuring
 the employees 8 back wage

Congress to Aid Postal Workers

Washington, D. CA new and very effective form of collective bargaining was instituted by Presi- dent William c. Doherty of the Ma tional Association of Letter Car riers at dinner given by the un- ion in honor of Postmaster General Hannegan.
 Gathered around the festive board were many leading members of Congress, including members of Senate and House Post Office Com mitteeS which must pass on legisla- tion affecting the welfare of postal employees. Prominent AF'L of- ficials, including President Green, Secretary Treasurer Meany and sev- cal members of the Executive Coun- cil, also attended.
 And here's what happened! With out any of the union officials bring Ing up the subject or even limiting at it, the Congressional leaders and Postmaster General Hannegan, of their own accord, pledged them selves to Support new pay bill ir- creasing the salaries of all postal workers in order to make Up for the loss of overtime and take-home pay.
 Chairman Burcha of the House Post Office Committee stated flat ly that his committee lis going to do something satisfactory about in- creasing that take-home pay for postal workers" Senator Mead said you can count on me to help" on higher pay legislation. Postmaster General Hannegan chimed in that he certainly favored whatever legislation Congress may see fit to enact' for higher pay.

 To this end he proposed two- point program:
 1. The OPA should be directed to reduce prices to offset any decrease

in average earnings resulting from elimination of overtime and down. grading.
 This" Murray contended, would encourage management to grant wage increases to offset loss of earnings and would prevent any un- due profits if industry refused to do so.'
 2. Congress should amend the tax laws to provide that any corpora ton which refuses to bargain cOl- lectively in good faith be denied the benefit of tax refunds from the Treasury, now permitted by our tax laws.

The 18th got its first chance
to pay the Japs back early in
1943, when the division cleared
for Guadalcanal. The doughboys
hit the open beaches west of the
Tenaru River. The rough and
broken terrain made supply,
communication and evacuation
of wounded extremely difficult,
but the doughs slashed forward
and butchered the enemy.
