DEAD-END CAT GIVES
DOG A TIGHT SQUEEZE
OOLLINSVILLE, 111. (AP) An
alert alley cat showed his natural
canine enemy how brains can win
over brawn. With the much larger l
dog close on his heels, the alley cat j
raced down the street and ducked
between two buildings whose sides
funneled together into a narrow
outlet. The cat slipped through at
top speed but his clumsy adversary
was jammed motionless between
the walls. Police chopped through
a portion of a radio shop to free
the pooch.
Police To Check
On License Tags
The police department will

every vehicle owned by a resi

Waynesvllle, has a 1947 city
license tag.
Tbe tags are on sale at the
city hall for $1 each.
The department said those
failing to cpmply with the or
dinance would be subject to a
fine.
