Ownerof Air Force Dog
Asks How He's Doing

MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 7 tAP)
"A South Dakota woman has
asked q favor Of the Air Force
she wants to know what
kind Of a soldier her German
Shepherd has made as a sentry
dog.
The Mobile Air Materiel Area
Headquarters at Brookley Air
Force Base here received this
letter:
RE: 1 sentry dog Wolf
"Order No. 21l
Gentlemen:
II have a great favor to ask
Of the Air Force. We Just
recently received payment for
the above German Shepherd.
The check came from Ala
bama.
I'VE raised this dog from a
small puppy and it was a hard
decision to make when we de-
cided he would be happier in
the Air Force because we had
to keep him confined or tied
so much. Not because he was
mean, but because we didn't
want him bothering anyone0
There were five other Ger
man Shepherds that left here
about the same time and our
Wolf was the only one that
qualified. That makes US es-
pecially proud of him, too. He
had his picture in the paper
and a writeup about how he
had enlisted
I'VE have a friend who sold
a dog to the Air Force and he
carried on a regular corre-
spondence with the airman
who handled him. We have
been waiting in hopes Of re-
ceiving a letter from the one
that handles Wolf. The favor
I have to ask is this: Would
you be so kind as to forward
this letter to Wolf and his
master.
I'VE would surely like to
know what kind of soldier he
made. He has been gone ga
months and shortly after he
left, became the father of nine
registered puppies-the incest
litter we've ever raised.
I'VE have three children and
Wolf was their special pet. I
know the Air Force has much
more important things on their
minds, but it would be greatly
appreciated If we could have
some news about Wolf. Thank
you so much for your time"

Water Conditions
Remain Critical

The water situation in Oakland
remained critical this week with
a number of residents without any
supply at various times throughout
the day. The additional sopply from
Mt. Lake Park was cut off yester-
day, temporarily at least.
The Water committee of the
Town Council was investigating
the possibility of turning in the
supply of water from Landon's
dam, which was not in use at pres
ent. This supply also is owned by
Mt Lake Park.
John Brenneman, who was drill
ing the additional well on the
former Bradley farm west of town,
got into difficulty this week. He
struck water at 30 feet and CON
tinued drilling through a rock for
nation, at which time he lost his
bit. This necessitated moving the
drill to another location and he
was scheduled to begin operations
again today.
In the meantime there was some
negotiating with the Soil Conserva-
ton service about possibility of
enlarging the dam on Broadford,
this is to be constructed for flood
prevention. A meeting with offici-
ais is scheduled for sometime next
week. This would affect the long
range program but offers no pres
ent relief.
There was a generous rain on
Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing with the balance of the week
being mostly hot and humid.
