Dogs and cats are social climbers
too. Today they're welcomed in
many places where they formerly
were forbidden to set paw. One di-
rectory lists over 1000 hotels and
motels that make special provisions
for dogs, so you don't have to leave
Fido home when you take trip any
more.
A few precautions are in order if
you plan to motor with a dog. In
one of his stories, James Thurber
describes a show-dog that suffered
from "a kind of Freudian car sick
ness" on his way to every perform
ance. Dogs do suffer from motion
sickness just as we do. The Ameri-
can Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals suggests that
several short rides can help get the
dog used to the cars motion.
To prevent Fido from getting car
sick you can buy Bonamine - the
long-lasting motion sickness tablets
- at any drug store. 1t will ward
off an unpleasant experience. Don't
overfeed dog in hot climates. and
be sure he gets plenty of water. Ex-
ercise is important, so on long trips
let the dog out of the car whenever
you stop.
A dog often likes to ride with his
head out the window. Don't let him.
1t could lead to a serious eye injury
or other accident.
With a little care and attention,
your pet doesn't have to be confined
to the doghouse vicinity any more.
He can travel as far and wide as
you do.

Greetings Folks,
My name is Thomas. Williams
21, 1927 South 9th Street.'I am an
Ex-C -Carverite, graduate of 1851.
attended Phoenix Colleeg for q
while, but because of adverse cir
cumstances, l had to drop out for
the time being. am taking dane
ing lessons from Clones School OF
dacing. s@.-
1 was, as many of you know, as
sistant editor of Carver's school
paper in my esnior year. l re-
member many who graduated from
Carver during my time there. They
have either continued their school
ing, or have gone out into the
world to make their mark.
In this column 1 hope to spot
light as many as 1 can of the
Carver alumni, and also keep you
posted on the progress of Ex-Car-
veriteS who are attending the var
ious institutions of learning in and
out Of the State.
I think l couldn't have chosen a
finer individual for my first sub
ject, than Rev. Giles Shivers.
When Giles graduaed from Car
yer n 1915, it was predicted that he
would become a minister. Today
he is one of our chaplains in the
United States Army.
Before graduating from high
school, he acknowledged his call to
the Christian minitry. In 1947, he
received his Arts Degree from
Phoenix Junior College and in
1949, a Bachelor of Arts Degree
from Arizona State College at
Tempe. He was granted license to
preach in February, 1949, in his
home Church, First Institutional
Baptist. There he served as an as
sistant pastor until going to a
Graduate School of Theology at
Oberlin, Ohio. It was there that
he received two scholarships. In
1851 he became affiliated with the
Third Baptist Church in Toledo,
Ohio, and on September IA, 1852,
he was ordained there. The same
year Rev. Giles was married to
Miss Alyce Battle, a native of To-
ledo.
Upon graduating from Oberlin
School Of Theology in 1858, Rev.
Shivers received the Bachelor of
Divinity Degree. He then joined
the US. Army as a Second Lieu
tenant and was sent to Slocum,
New York and then to Fort Knox,
Ky. At this writing, Chaplain Shiv-
ers is at Fort George Mead, Mary
land, rendering services to his
country and God.
Congratulations to Toi San
Thomas for her wonderful per-
formance in the South Mountain
High School Follies.
