One class is what call the

she says. They're actors and put
on a wonderful show of pathos and
resignation as they are being led or
pushed to the wash tub. They al
ways remind me of a movie prison
scene in which someone is shown
walking the last mile.
AFTER I get one of these dogs
lifted into the tub in sections he is
sure to give me a long You know
you're killing me- look. Then, just
before l start to rinse him he will
tremble pathetically.
This is to convince me that he
is going to die of pneumonia very
soon and it will be all my fault.
When l first began to bathe dogs
believed this"
He Was 4 Fal.ex
ONE of Fay's most accomplished
tremblers is a boxer pup. He had
her fooled for a long time and she
was careful to keep his bath water
quite warm. Then one cold autumn
morning on her way to school she
saw the boxer wading breast high
in an icy swamp.
The second class is what she
describes as the $50 you want
to have fun, do your" type.
These dogs generally can be led
right into their bath, she explains.
They start off by purposely CIV
ing you the idea that they are CO.
operating with you. Then sud-
denly they'll shake themselves
until you're as wet as they are or
they'll jump out of the tub like
the spaniel and roll in the mud"
Nevertheless Fay takes her dog
washing chores as they come. Not
long ago a pleased customer re-
turned with a Shetland pony.
Fay proved equal to the situa-
ton. She measured it, found that
it was about the size of one of her
Great Dane clients and charged
her regular three towel rate.
She didn't try to lift it into the
wash tub but sluiced it down with
a garden hose. She did a tidy job
of prettying up the hoofs, too, at
no extra charge. The End

GIRL DOG WASHER
Continued from page sesenteen

Fay was undecided about which
activity to engage in until she read
the dog book. When she came to
the sentence, Dogs just love to be
bathed," she made up her mind.
North Salem has a large and var
led canine population. Fay heard
opportunity barking.
She started in business last sum-
mer - when these pictures were
taken u and she's still at it.
She collected a big wash tub,
soap, brushes and several tow
els. Then she worked out her
own sliding scale of prices.
She decided to charge so cents
to bathe small "one-towel' dog,
up to and including dachshunds.
The fee for two-toweler. ranging
in size from beagles to Irish settlers,
is a dollar. Three-towelers, such as
Great Danes and St. Bernards, are
charged $l.5O. Burr-removal in
season, is Is cents extra.
Fay's first client was big Irish
setter named Patrick. According
to the book, a setter is '1ovable
and highly cooperative"
Patrick hadn't read the book.
He was too busy thinking about
rabbits even while Fay was
struggling to get his rear half to
join his front half in the wash tub.
''He just wouldn't concentrate"
says Fay. "His thoughts were else
where. That's probably why he
didn't cooperate as the book said
he would. And lifting an Irish set
ter around in a wash tub is hard
work, especially when he's water
logged"

SOMEWHAT disillusioned, Fay ac-
quired her second client. This was
spaniel-"f "fun-loving, clean, and
very fond of water" the book said.
After Fay had soaped and nicely
rinsed the spaniel he bolted out of
the wash tub and made straight
for a nearby pigpen. There he
rolled luxuriously in the soft mud.
Fay threw the dog book away.
Today, many dogs later, Fay
feels we'll qualified to write a book
of her own on the subject. One
thing she has discovered is that as

race.
"All the games will be tough"

I like our chances"
No one can criticize Hart for
having a rosy outlook. His
Ramblers boast the deepest and
perhaps the strongest pitching
staff in the series. What's more,
Eastern is slamming the ball. In
their two series games to date,
counting yesterdays 81 victory

collected 10 hits. The opposition
has been limited to nine.
Eastern Pitcher Injured.
Eastern is tied with Tech and
Coolidge for the league lead, but

as strong contenders. Coolidge
