this morning.
The stock pledges can only be
called to finance a building for a
specific industry" Pairet en-
phasized. He also pointed out
former pledges to Area Develop
ment Corporation have expired
so it is very important to have
funds available to talk bust
ness with an industrial pros
pect. The pledges will expire
III 1862.
Pairet said the campaign
would consist primarily of call
ing on business and professional
men in the area to subscribe
to the stock program. However.
he urged all persons interested
to contact him, whether they
arc called on or not. Persons
wishing information on the pro
gram can contact Pairct or j.

Two uOBS now In training at
the center clearly depict tn e
system used in instruction for
successful security work. Both
are owned by the trainer, who
trains, but does not buy or sell
dogs. Mann has trained a num-
Der Of dogs for state policemen.
Fritz, a purebred Germ a n
S h p h erd registered by the
American Kennel Club, has COM
pleted both basic and advanced
work. Bullet, another who stands
almost waist high at eight
months, is currently completing
basic instruction. The two pro-
vide an ideal comparison of the
difference between the phases
OF work when put through the
course.
First Lesson
The dog is first taught to walk
by its master, sit by him, go
forward when told, and come
when called. The basic work.
which primarily concerns teach
ing the dog obedience, requires
four to six weeks. depending
upon the dogs blood lines and
intelligence his cooperation.
However, S ON G preliminary
work proceeds that.
Mann said, THE first thing is
to sell the puppy security, sell
him on the idea he will be pro-
tected. Put the dog at ease, then
he will cooperate. You never
whip a police dog, and if you
must force him to do something
it must be done without break
ing his spirit" On the nthe,.
hand he cannot be allowed to
outWlt his master for once he
does he is no longer useful for
police work.
Included in the advanced work
are such things as scaling walls

in talking with an industrial
prospect, if definite financial
plans were available"
Farnville is ideally situated
to secure additional industrial
development, since it has an ex-
cellent site, ample water supply
available at the site, sewerage
available at the site, and a rail
road siding, with major north
