crossed the continent more than
so times In her relatively brief
career, and has appeared on tel
evision with such stars as Jack
Benny, Art Linkletter, Steve Al
len, Garry Moore and Ed Muir
row. Also, she has played count
less leading roles in newspapers
and on local television as the
star of department store fas-
hion shows In many cities.
Lady Greyhound's lengthy list
of honorary titles is equally
impressive. Not only has she
been crowned queen of National
Dog Week but of National Cat
Week as well. She has served
as symbol for World Animal
Day and owns a dozen other
such honors.
A beautifully trained dog who
appears to. like the small fry
contingent as much as they
like her, Lady Greyhound has
managed a private life In spite
of her almost constant public
appearances. Not too long ago
she became the mother of nine
puppies from a champion Grey
hound father.
Accompanied by her training
and publicity encourage, Lady
Greyhound will appear at the
Civic Center In Salisbury dur
ing Friday afternoon Festival
activities. Saturday afternoon,
she will have a place of honor
in the Festival parade.

In excellent shape--and is the
best beach Rehoboth has ever
had, many believe.
Among them is City Manager
Frank Buck, who supervised
the hauling and distribution of
more than 3O0.0 cubic yards
of sand, along the beachfront,
for the rebuilding job last sum-
mer.
According to the Rehoboth
Beach Chamber of Commerce
there have been heavy demands
for cottage rentals and sales
have been high In the area,
giving credence to predictions
that this will be a top season.
The resort is particularly
pleasing the vacauoning famil-
les who find the beach safe and
well guarded. 1t has been many
years since a fatality has been
recorded at this popular play
ground. Beach patrols are al
ways at work and life guards
are among the coasts finest
according to Mayor Juel c.
Stamper.
Of course there's generally
good fishing, both surf and
deep-sea. There are golf cour-
ses and tennis courts, bike rides
and beach buggy trips available
for pastime. One can also in
spect some of the finest sand
dunes untouched by human hands
just north of the community.
Rehoboth is described as a
resort town for those who really
want to get away from 1t all,
yet wish to be close enough to
historic sites for side trips
or to have other pleasures when
they feel like doing something
special.
The Rehoboth Art League is
planning a great season with
exhibits and displays that will
delight those who dabble In
painting or just read about 1t
and enjoy seeing good water
colors and oils.
Rehoboth has made a come
back that has cost some S.
100000 in federal, state and
private funds. 1t is all done
so those so inclined may take
advantage of the good weather,
the warm sun and the amuse-
ment a seaside vacation pro-
vides at this time of year.

Change Method
Of Endorsement

The Prince Edward County
Democratic Committee h a S
agreed on a collective endorse
ment policy in dealing with per-
sons seeking committee support
for job appointments.
In the future the Committee
intends to endorse but one job
applicant if such agreement can
be reached. Heretofore. Com
mittee members, approached in
dividually by applicants, have
frequently endorsed a number Of
candidates for the same j o b

one.
The action is a move by the
Committee to strengthen its po-
sitlon in dealing with individuals
or agencies which make the final
appointments. 1t also will assist
the appointive individual Or
agency in understanding the true
will of the committee.
Contacts Possible
The Committees action Will
not preclude job-seeking indi-
viduals from personally contact
ing members. This would be
done as formerly. but the COM
mittee will meet in formal ses-
sion before any individual mem
bers take action or endorsement.
