Dog Notes
By Peter eoees

A friend Of mine had q real dog
problem. His springer spaniel had
a litter Of seven puppies. Two days
after they were born the mother
died. Now came the problem of
how to feed the orphaned pups.
He took an old inner tube and
six rubber nipples. the kind used
on babies bottles. TO Q nearby
service station. There the nipples
were vulcanized TO the inner tube.
At home milk was poured into the
inner tube and all six puppies re-
eeived their meals at the same
time. All of the pups thrived.
Remember that any puppy will
eat and eat until his little sides
bulge. but allowing the animal TO
get in that condition is very harm
full. He should be fed at regular
intervals and not given too much
at any one time. even though it
may be fun to keep feeding him
little morsels Of this and that all
day long. Until a pup is four
months Of age he should be fed
four times q day. Here Is sug-
gested diet:
! a.m.-One- half glass Of warm
milk poured over dry cereal. such
as shredded wheat. etc. Once or
twice . week add the yolk of an
egg.
/ Noon - One quarter pound OF
raw beef mixed with half to three
quarters of cup of canned
spinach or tomatoes. To this add
teaspoonful Of cod liver oil every
other day.
| 4 pm.-Half to three quarters
of a glass Of warm milk poured
over dry cereal or dry cereal dog
/ food.
| 8 pm.-One-qu quarter pound Of
raw beef mixed with q small
amount Of canned tomatoes or
spinach plus some moistened dry
dog food.
The dogs diet should also in
clude a raw knuckle bone to chew
on occasionally. and. from time to
time, q puppy biscuit. Now as to
the amount of food puppy re-
quires. OF course, Great Dane
pup requires a larger meal than a
Scottie. As guide to the proper
size Of a meal I suggest that 1t be
less than one-half the size of the
animals head.
II you have an older dog lover
year of age) he should have two
meals a day-in the morning q
small amount of milk and dry
cereal, and his regular large meal
every evening. II you have any
particular questions regarding the
feeding Of your pet please write
me in care Of The Star.
A Cleveland mans bulldog was
run over and killed by q car. An

A week later the man received
word from the Railway Express
Co. that a package" had arrived
and q request that there be some
one home to accept 1t. mo, 1t

agent. Shortly afterward the
package arrived. 1t was crate
containing a bulldog pup closely
resembling the bulldog that had
been run over and killed. The new

dead dogs collar-license tag and

@. What Is the youngest age at
which the Laidlaw-Dunkin treat
ment for distemper can safely be
given? How soon after exposure
does q dog develop distemper ?
IS. s. =.
A. The Laidlaw-Dunkin immu-
nization treatment shouldn't be
given to q dog until he is at least
four months old. Distemper
usually develops five to nine days
after the dog has been exposed.

Fireworks Celebration
Disrupfs Air Liners

HOOD RIVER, ORE.-A fire
works celebration by the "Crag
Rats"-a Notwithstanding or
g~anization - disrupted airline
traffic near Mount Hood and
convinced one pilot he was Zee
ing a new form of flying
saucers."
Paul Thresh, a Northwest air.
lines pilot flying west into Port
land, reported to the tower there
that he had seen a strange clust-
er of red lights as he ap-
preached Mount Hood area.
This caused him to turn his
plane to follow them, he said.
''but they ran away from me-"
Thresh's report temporarily
halted several flights at the
Portland airport. The tower
thought at first that a plane
might be in distress and would
have TO use the port for an
emergency landing. This caused
the tower to clear the field for
several minutes and passenger
flights were held up until it be-
came apparent. that no plane
was involved and police solved
the mystery.

Blazing Meteor
OF FneboH Size
Seen in Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE,, VISA larg,
meteor blazing across the southern
sky was seer by many people il
four other midwestern states. a.
well as in Milwaukee.
Because Of its brightness. the
Milwaukee astronomical society
said the meteor was large enough
to be classed as a ''firebalr'-a
meteor that can be seen before
dark.
Travelling at about $500 miles an
hour, the fireball entered the
earth's atmosphere somewhere
east of Chicago at about 1903 pm,
according to Edward A. Halbach,
director Of the society's observa-
tory neal the town Of New Berlin
(Waukesha county,. II disappeared
on the southern horizon less than
n minute later.
Earl Needham, a member Of the
society. said that the light from the
fireball appeared about as intense
as a Photographic flash bulb ex-
ploded 100 feet away. Dozens Of
persons called Needham, Halbach
and other members of the society
to report seeing it.
The fireball probably was the
size of a mans head, Halbach said.
He explained that ordinary meteors
are about as large as a grain of
sand. Like the fireball seen here,
they enter the earth's atmosphere
and become incandescent from
friction with the air at high speed.
Usually they burn out before
reaching the earth, Halbach re-
ported. But he said that the fire
ball probably struck the earth be-
fore this could happen. Early re-
ports indicate that it may have
fallen in the southwest corner of
Wisconsin, Halbach said. The So
ciety was to conduct a search for
it if later observations bear this
out.

Canada's Baby Bonus
Failing, Record Shows

OTTAWA.-Canada's baby bonus
program has passed its fourth
birthday without any sign OF
achieving its goal-promoting larg'
er families. And so far it has cost
more than a billion dollars.
Since 1945, when the family al.
lowances were introduced. there
had been only one sudden jump
in birth rates-between l945 and
1916. That was attributed to the
postwar reunion Of many families.
An indication family allowances
are not producing the expected eff
feet = that fewer children we're
born in Canada in 1913 despite the
fact there we're more people in the
country.

Strange Beast Frightens
Connecticut Villagers

EAST CRANKY, CONN. - The
beast that has no name but which
is often heard here-what is it?
Uneasy residents in the Lake
Basile section of this town were
asking those questions after re-
ports that there was a strange ami
NAL in the neighborhood. The best
description given was that the
''whatever-it-was" gallops like a
horse and has the claws of a bear.
No one had seen it. Some had
heard it. But there for all to see
were its clawprints on the soft
dirt road.
Morgan j. Horne was among
those who reported hearing it
at 10 minutes past midnight.
1T was nothing like l have ever
heard BEFORE" he said. My wife
had a Mortified look on her face"
The animals breathing, he re-
ported, was terrific, almost un-
believable" and a lot heavier than
that of a horse.
when we heard this galloping
noise and the heavy breathing, Jul
English shepherd dog, Buddy,
went crazy" said Horne. He al
most went through the screen"
Sportsman Ronald I. Miller
opined:
Must be either a bear or a
gorilla"
He used to do a lot of hunting
when he lived in Maine.
II it's a bear, said Miller, it's
a big one-more than 6 feet tall.

A physical education expert
by the name of STREET says
American women are becoming
taller, somewhat heftier and
more muscular" Almost as
quick as ducking he adds,
'"They are also prettier and
more zestful." 1t seems the
war gave women a more active
life and it's done their muscles
more good than a bucket of
Wheaties. Their hands are
getting bigger and the fashion
of open-toed shoes and sandals
is allowing toes to spread like
fast growing ivy if we
may inject a horticultural note.
So it seems that women are
getting stronger and more at
tractive daily. The expert didn't
say anything about men.

absence of slums in Scandinavia
and the good housing accommoda-
tions for low income families. He
said one of the features of the Eu-
ropean housing situation was that
all countries were maintaining the
pre-war rent levels by rent con-
trolls and subsidies on postwar
construction to absorb the higher
postwar costs.
Answering criticism of his pro-
posal for direct loans to coopera-
tive housing projects, Sparkman
said, "If we can lend to rural cleo
trification cooperatives at two per
cent, and to industrial companies
and banks, don't see why we
can't lend to housing cooperatives
to meet our desperate housing sit
uation."

Anti-Fdir Dedl Lobbies
Spend 20 Times The Sum
Put Out By Labor Unions

Washington (LPA) = With the
American Medical Assn leading
the way, lobbying organizations
opposing the Fair Deal program
endorsed when the American peo-
pie elected Harry S. Truman pres
ident-have reported spending two
thirds of the funds used to influ-
ence Congress in the first nine
months of 1949.
Business, anti-labor and anti
cooperative outfits admitted spend
ing more than $4,3OO,000 out of
about S6,300,000 reported to Con-
gress under the lobby law, accord
ing to the compilations made pub
lie Nov. 8 by Congressional Quart
erly. This figure does not include
any expenditures made by the
Natl Association Of Manufacture
ers.
BY contrast, labor unions and
other "employe groups" spent only
about one twentieth Of that amount
-$179, ,533.
The ANA was the biggest spend
er ever to report under the law
with a nine-month total of 81 ,225,-
OPS, all of this collected in $25
assessments from physicians and
used by the publicity firm of Whit
aker & Barter to fight the health
insurance bill.
The most ardently anti-labor of
all the pressure groups, the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govt,
which has opposed even liberal
Republican bills as evidence that
the US was hell-bent for state So
cialism, was second largest spend
er, reporting a cool $443,756.
The Natl Association of Elec-
tric Companies, whose main ener-
gies are devoted to combating ex-
tension Of publicly operated power
facilities that might force private
companies to cut rates, was third
highest spender, with $305,75
General Electric Co. topped the
sums spent by individual corpora
tions, reporting total Of $128,56
Way down the list come the
labor unions, with a total of $179,-
533. Of this, whopping $35, 500
was spent by the Natl Federation
of Post Office Clerks in their sue
cessful fight to raise the pay of
post office workers. AFL reported
$56,859; CIO listed $36,126 exclu-
sive of salaries; and the rest was
accounted for by individual inter
national unions.

Labor Press Wins
Battle To Get In
Press Galleries

Washington (LPA)-Labor Press
Association, after a long and bit
ter battle, has finally and official
ly been admitted to membership in
the Congressional Press Galleries.
Acting under the new rule ap-
proved by the Senate Rules Com
mittee and speaker Rayburn in the
final moments of Congress, the
Standing Committee of Cores
pondents at a weekend session
voted unanimously to admit AL
vaine Hamilton and Nathan Rob-
ertson, of LPA, to membership.
But at the same time the Com
mittee Unexpectedly turned down
the application of International
Press, the State Departments news
service, for membership. This was
a surprise, as the Committee had
been expected to approve the ap-
plication to give international
Press equal status with Tass, the
Soviet News Service, which already
has access to the galleries.
. Chairman William F. Arbogast
explained to LPA, however, that
the application of Tass, for renew
ed membership for the session be-
ginning in January had not yet
been approved-so there was no
discrimination yet against the
State Departments news service.
The notice under the applications
of the State Department reporters
as posted on the Gallery bulletin
board said: "The above applications
were rejected unanimously under a
motion: That the applications did
not come within the rules govern
ing the Press Galleries"
LPA submitted its application
for membership last May 81. The
Standing Committee, after months
of delay, turned the application
down by a 3-2 vote under the old
rule. LPA quickly appealed to the
committee to reconsider, contend
ing that a gross injustice had been
done. The Committee promptly
recommended new rule-the first
in 70 years revising the basic gal
lery admission rule-that would
allow LPA to get in.
Another long delay followed,
with a minority of the gallery try
ing to block action. But finally, on
the last day of Congress, the Rules
Committee and the Speaker APP
proved the new rule, only, however,
after Chairman William S. White,
Of the New York Times, had re-
signed as chairman in protest over
the tactics of the minority. Under
the rule, LPA's application had to
be posted 10 days, then was ap-
proved promptly.
Membership in the press CALLER
les will enable LPA to give labor
and liberal papers faster and more
coverage of Congressional
news than ever before. 1t marks a
new era in the history of labor
journalism.
