How Army Trained Dogs
For Important War Jobs
Prise Contribution
BY TerriIl Sehukroft, l5

. One of the most interesting prof.
ects Of World War II was the IA
nous Dogs for Defense Organiza-
ton. Pet and show dogs were sac
rificed by their owners, to be used
as couriers. sentries and Red Cross
dogs. They sped across bomb-and-
shell-blasted areas where men dared
not go, carrying messages and reels
Of communication wires, hunting out
the wounded and leading stretcher-
bearers to them, and carrying pig
cons.
The Dogs for Defense Organization
was begun by civilians who enlist
ed and trained dogs for the war. The
Army took its lover at Front Royal
Renipdnt station, Va, and fihally
the CoaA Guard and other services
tlsed the idea. fs@EA -
Dogs have been fighting for man
since the beginning of history. They
were used as active fighters at
first. They were trained to fight
against the opposing cavalries;
against the infahtries, they would
dash into the midst of the fighting
and bite the legs of the soldiers. In
the First World War they were used
almost exclusively as messengers
and in Red Gross work. They also

Eleventh street S.W., took UP the

lover her half brother william after
he went into the Army. The two
had been inseparable companions
all Nancy's life, and she missed him
so keenly that she began to lose
weight. Her mother, Mrs. Saverio
Vagnerini, finally sought the advice
of the family doctor.
The thing to do, the physician
suggested, was to keep Nancy so
busy that she wouldn't have time
to think too much about Bill. Piano
lessons might help, he thought.
And, as Mrs. Vagnerini put it in
telling the story, "She took to the
piano as a duck takes to water"
But the piano wasn't quite
enough, so the prescription was ex-
tended to include dancing lessons.
Now, after more than three years,
her brother is a staff sergeant, and
she not only dances and plays the
piano, but is an accordionist and
singer as we'll. The song and dance
act is her speciality, however.
Nancy has performed at Walter
Reed and Mount Alto Hospitals,
Boiling Field, Fort Belvoirt Indus
trial Home School and the Ward
man Park and Willard Hotels.
While performing for a printers
convention last May she was pre-
sented a bouquet by William Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. She also has danced
for Italian refugees and prisoners
Of war.
"The Baby Sweetheart Of the
USO," Nancy has been called, and
many servicemen have sent her
souvenirs and other gifts from all
over the world.
Nancy Is a pupil OF st. Dominic's
School and also sings in the church
choir.

here, but received her passport too

Ingrid's home was wrecked by

"All the men were in the army"
