TITS A LONG jump from Maryland's Long
Green Valley north of Baltimore to the
hot sands of the White Sands missile prov
ing grounds in New Mexico, but DingO will
be making the move there before long
Dingo is a large and friendly Weimar-
amer and he is going to school to Maj. L.
Wilson Davis, a retired Marine officer, to
take his place in the Nations missile
program.
Under Mai. DaviS's direction, Dingo
plays games of hide-and-seek every day.
He's learning that the games are work, and
not play, and that he must search out and
bring back to Maj. Davis bits of hard metal.
Dingo as any normal retriever, would
prefer to fetch softer articles something
that he could roll around in his mouth. 1t
isn't natural to retrieve piece of iron.
Dingo is one of a number of dogs being
trained at the K-8 Lodge, boarding and
training kennel operated jointly by Maj.
Davis and Mrs. Audrey Kuff, to aid in this
country's missile program.
The dogs are being trained to search
for and retrieve bits of missiles that have
been destroyed in the air because of faulty
operation. 1t is necessary sometimes for
scientists to examine parts of faulty mis-
siles to determine just what caused the
malfunctiOn.
Mai Davis explains that the dogs are
trained to search for metal bits that carry
particular scent. The scent, he says, is in
corporated in a special paint, and this paint
is also used on missiles Thus, when mis-
sile is destroyed, the parts will smell just
like the bits of metal on which the dogs
we're trained They can be turned loose in
the desert, and will search until all pieces
are found and brought back to the handlers
Maj Davis says that both Weimaraners
and German short-haired pointers are being
trained for the missile work.
These breeds are natural retrieverS,"
he says, land they also are better able to
withstand the desert heat than long-haired
dogs"
This is just one part of the work that
goes on with dogs at the K-9 Lodge, located
in the Long Green Valley near Hyde, Md. An
important part of the training program is
for dogs that have developed bad habits
which their owners are unable to correct.
Velvet, a large Doberman, is an ex-
ample of the problem dog. Velvet became
too posseSsive. Whenever she got hold of
something like an old shoe, she wouldn't
let her owners in the same room with her.
Mai Davis has her well on the road to
becoming a normal dog again.

This is a great mistake. There

Starting with this year, a per-
son can earn more money and
still be paid some social security
benefits.
There is no change in the
part Of the law allowing a per-
son to receive all IL Of his
monthly benefits if he earns $1,000
or less during that year. The
change in the law has to do with
earnings over $1,000 a year. For
the first $500 of earnings over
$1,000 the total family benefits
for the year are reduced by ST
for each So of earrings. For
every 81 of earnings over $500
for the year, the total family
benefits for the year are reduced
by 81. However, regardless of

the new provisions. A man under

Business And Economic Activity
In State Ahead OF Last Year

Business and economic acti-
witty in Virginia during October
generally ran ahead Of October,
1860, reversing the trend of the
last two months when more than
half Of the components showed
year-to-year declines.
According to the Virginia Bust
ness Index Report, published by
the Bureau Of Business Research
of the College of William and
Mary, all of the nine components
charted showed increases over
last year with the exception of
newspaper advertising lineage.
Building permits registered
the largest increase.
Twelve of the IA cities charted
also ahead Of October, 1860, with
seven experiencing a growth Of
approximately S per cent or more.
Virginia's four largest metro
politan areas particularly made
a good showing, with Richmond's
index z per cent ahead, Nor
folks. 5.4 percent, Roanoke's so
percent, and Newport News, as
per cent.

the increased dependence Of our
population upon automobiles has
had an effect upon advertising.

motion. I oda y, considerably

buses, the ads are now being

the American people the truth however

want seat belts, and that this demand
is ten times as large as the demand last
year. Officials from Chevrolet, Ford and
Plymouth also indicate that seat belt
sales have risen from about $50 to 100
per cent.
We feel that part Of the credit for
the increase in interest in safety belts
goes to the doctors and police officials
over the nation who have been pointing
out in speeches the Importance Of wear
ing seat belts. The most significant fact
which we have heard in this connection
came from a pair of prominent surgeons
who told medical conference that d
study showed that 10000 persons kill
ed in highway accidents in one year

ed at splitting West Germany
from the other Western allies.
The most hopeful sign now
visible on the European horizon
is the determination of such age
old enemies as France and Ger
many to move closer together
in an anti Communist partner
ship. The leaders Of both ma
tons realize and admit that the
best hope Of Western Europe is
to develop what would be-in
fact, if not in name-a United
States of Europe.
The economic, political, and
military capability of such a uni
fled group could virtually match
that of the Soviet Union and its
satellites, even without the
United States. And when coupled
with American strength, the At
lantic Community greatly sur
passes the Soviet potential, even
including sheer manpower.
1t is essential that Americans
know and appreciate the think
ing of the Germans on this vital
matter. Nowhere is their attitude
more clearly revealed than in
this statement by West Ger
many's Defense Minister Franz
Josef Strauss:
Defense is a national COM
mitment which, however is cap
able of fulfilment only at supra
national level. Thus it is that
We now see German policy

ween East and West; we see

ponent of an Atlantic alliance

have heard complaints from
many areas that retail trade has

adjusted sales curve. However.
considering the rapid rise in in
comes. merchants are disap-
pointed that retail trade has not
registered a larger increase.
Importance Of Advertising
My studies indicate that per-
iods Of prosperity are generally
powered by increases in business
expenditures for new plant and
equipment. In like manner, this
is true also Of advertising. Well
thought out and forceful adver-
tlslng campaigns can channel
consumer interest to specific
products, as well as increase
the desire and impotence to
buy generally.
Advertising can accomplish
most Of the selling Job before
the consumer even goes to the
store. Agencies hammer away
at creating the desire for the
products or services they adver-
tlse. utilizing the appeal Of basic
need, social prestige. physical
attraction etc. Here. then, is
the basic power Of general bust
ness.

Attack Shifts To West Germany

To see what really concerns
Khrushchev and Company, we
need to turn to a floodlight on
Germany, rather than a spotlight
on Berlin.
Berlin is important, it is SYM
bolic, and it is in all truth what
Khrushchev has termed it-a
bone in the throat of the Rus
sian bear.
But much more vital to the
cause of Western freedom is
the status of West Germany,
and the necessity for maintain
ing that free republic as an
integral part of the Atlantic Com
munity of nations.
The current Soviet pressures
on little Finland. the angry
threats of East Germany's Wal
ter Ulbricht, and the gradual
easing of the tension over Berlin
lat least for the moment)-all
point to a probable shift in en-
phasiS which will make West
Germany, rather than West Ber-
lin. the target of Soviet de-
mands.
One of the Soviet dogmas
which date back to the days of
Lenin is that the possession of
Germany is a decisive step to-
ward ruling Europe. The half
OF Germany which now lies
in Communist hands is not
enough, especially since the
other half is by all odds the
stronger Of the two, both mill
tarily and economically.
The Soviet plans calls for driv-
ing a wedge between West Ger
many and the remainder of the
NATO countries.
On the one hand, there are
Establishments to the German
people to the effect that Com
munism has more to offer than
does capitalism. However, that
particular argument has fallen
so flat on its face that the
Communists have sealed off their
miserable sectors of Germany
and of Berlin to prevent further
comparison.
Thus, there comes into play
the other tactic intimidation
and threat. And coupled with this
is the appeal to Western ap-
peasers that peaceful coexist-
ence" can best be achieved if
Germany Including West Ger
many, of course is demilitariz-
ed into a neutral zone separat-
ing East and West.
Once the Soviets gain this sort
of major concession, then they
will call for the demilitraization
Of Western Europe, as another
evidence of Western lack of ag-
gressive intentions. And into such
a vacuum. the Soviets will pour
men. materiel, and political
machinery in overwhelming
force whenever it suits their pur-
pose to do so.
No one realizes this threat
more than the West Germans,
who would stand as the first
victims of any such drive to the
English Channel. Yet none of
our European allies are more
determined to resist the Soviets,
militarily and politically, than
are the West Germans.
At this stage of the game, the
political implications are as
crucial as the military. The vast
amounts Of firepower-nuclear
and conventional = which are
spread along both sides of the
Iron Curtain have brought about
a military stalemat of sorts. The
real pressures being exerted at
the moment are political. aim
