tons "Welcome Lady" under

-JOr--
et'TEMPO," the beloved boxer
pet of Police Chief and Mrs.
Jack Shelter and daughters, is
dead. The intelligent and we'll
behaved pet was the victim of an
auto Tuesday morning when she
was fatally injured in Fremont
Road, near her Erie Gardens
home. "Tempo" was one of the
city's best known dogs as she
accompanied her owners about the
city, and quickly made friends
with new acquaintances. She had
a wide repertoire of tricks and
obeyed her masters instantly. We
know how deeply grieved the
Shelter family is since Tempo's
death, and we can sympathize
with Jack and Helen as Tempo
can never be replaced. The faith
full dog has been buried in Mayor
and Mrs. Carl Becker's back yard.

IN this space last week we asked

porium. Harry responded quick
ly-he telephoned yesterday that
the "Kid From Cleveland" will
be shown in the Clinton on Octo-
Der 6-7-8. This movie, as most of
you know, was filmed in Cleveland,
and stars the Cleveland Indians.

the featured actors while Bill
Veeck, Lou Boudreau, Satchel
Paige, Bob Feller, Gene Bearden,

delinquency. Movie critics gave it
rave notices, and it should attract
crowds here.
