KITTEN?
Mrs. C. A. N, Silper Spring.

Regarding gourds. I have
the following information to
offer: Gourds need a four
month growing season and
should be harvested before the
first frost. II vines keep set
ting fruit late In season, nip
out all leaders to throw
strength into maturing gourds.
Don't handle vines or gourdS
more than necessary, for
bruises invite rot. Large gourds
turn from green to tan when
mature. Small ones are ready
when the stem withers. Only
well-matured gourds will dry
without whitening. Leave 2 or
3 inches of stem attached to
gourd. Wash with lime sulphur
solution or solution of I part
formalin to so parts water.
Hang up for sevefal weeks in
a dry, airy place.
Wax with floor or auto wax,
or you can lacquer and paint
when dried to the point where
seeds are heard rafting. In
a book at the library I read
about boring a hole in the
stem ends, removing the seeds
and replacing them with
pebbles (for a louder rattle) :.
Then a wooden handle can be
attached.
I am growing gourds for the
first time this year and have
a "darning ball" gourd which
has a striped band around the
neck, which my book says Is
unusual. I would be interested
in hearing more from others
about gourds.
We have a month-old blue
Persian kitten which we do
not allow outside because it
hasn't yet had shots. Would
someone send in a good idea
for housebreaking the kitten?
Also, we would like a name for
her. We call her Pussy Willow
and Puddles, but want a Per-
sian name for her papers.

Indignant Neighbors Pledge

say that those dogs have
bothered me at times, but
wouldn't do a thing like that
under any circumstances"
Arthur Foster, whose back
yard adjoins the Weustenhagen
property. said he knew nothing
about the dogs being poisoned
until he saw the article in the
newspapers. He said the dogs
had awakened him during the
night occasionally but added
that they didn't bother him
much.
Whoever did it should Ger
tainly be punished" Mrs. James
McNeely said. She said she
hasn't signed up for the reward
fund because she feels the law
should take care of it.
The WeuStenhagenS have been
raising the purebreds since
1949. Besides the three that
died. Rolf, Astra and Harras,
they have three puppies, one of
which is being treated for the
same poisoning.
The Wuestenhagens moved to
Fairfax County after Rolf, one
of their dogs. got into trouble
in Arlington two years ago.
Arlington neighbors COM
planned that Rolf was vicious
and had bitten two children.
The dog was ordered killed, but
the sentence was lifted when
Rolf was taken from Arlington.
In 1851, Rolf. the oldest,
was credited with saving Mr..
Weustenhagen's life. When he
collapse with a heart attack. the
dog dived through a screen door,
went after Mrs. Weustenhagen
and led her back to the house.

The poisoning of three Ger
man police dogs has welded to-
gether a Falls Church neighbour
hood and thrown the residents
into action against mysterious
pet killer.
The three purebred pets,
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. William
Wuestenhagen, los Fairmont
street, died Monday, after
poisoned hot dogs were found
strewn near the dogs kennels.
A fourth is still in the Falls
Church veterinary hospital. The
poisoned meat apparently was
thrown over the Wuestenhagens'
penned-in yard.
The neighbors. indignant over
the deaths, already have raised
more than $1.100 in reward
pledges for the arrest and con-
viction of the culprit.
Many residents of the area
who, short while ago, signed a
petition protesting the barking
of the dogs, were among the
first to rally to the aid of their
neighbor.
II was glad to sign the pledge, "
said Amos s. F'eltner. who lives
at Ill Fairmont street. "A person
who will do that sort of thing
will do anything"
Led Opposing Petition.
Mr.. Feltner had led the petit
ton against the Weustenhagens'
dogs three weeks ago. Mr.. Felt
ner said he has heart trouble,
and the dogs had disturbed his
rest at night.
1--WE went and talked with
them week or so ago, and they
co-operated WE'LL" he said. Eve
have heard the dogs only once
since then"
Mrs. Elzberry Waters, who
lives across the street, at 104
Fairmont street. said she thought
it was a terrible thing for any
one to do" to the dogs. Her
husband and John B. Smith, of
119 Fairmont, were originators
of the reward fund.
Suppose a child had picked
, up the hot dog and put it in
his mouth" she said. Mrs.
Waters added that the Wuesten-
hagens' dogs didn't bark any
more than any other dog" and
had never bothered her. The
Waters own four prize-winning
beagles.
Mrs. Smith said her husband
and Mrs. Waters had not ex-
pected to get such a large re-
Spouse to the fund raising drive.
She said they started the petition
because they were indignant
over the treatment of their
neighbor.
This is, the first time in the
IA years that we have lived here
that anything like this has hap
pened." she said. I'VE don't like
law abiding citizens to be treated
that way"
The Smiths own a hunting dog
and a cocker spaniel.
Mrs. e. M. McLane Of 100,
also was among the sympathetic
neighbors. She said she and her
husband signed the reward
pledge because the poisonings
were lust awful" She said the
dogs hadn't bothered them ex-
cept at nights when the pets
barked at cars pulling into a
nearby motor court.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Stipe,
owners Of the Southland Motor
Court, 2014 Lee highway. said
they had received complaints
about the barking from guests.
The WueStenhagens' fenced-in
back yard Is near the driveway
to the motor court.
1--WE were willing to get rid OF
them the right way-by petit
ton" Mr.. Stipe said. This isn't
right" The Stipes said the dogs
have been very quiet during the
past few weeks.
Mrs. Jareb Smith of LOG Fair
mont street, agreed the poison
ing was "a terrible thing"
