If I decide I'd rather work and live in Schenectady, I can go there. Or Raelne, or Spokane. If I want to, I can settle down and make the San ., Fernando Valley home. If I've been a machinist, but decide that the r- dio industry Is the place for me, there are ways I can train myself to get into radio. If I want to drive Diesel locomotive instead 'of a - bus, I can go into railroading. Nobody tells me I can't' I can tiy as many jobs as I like. If I r don't like the Job, I can walk out the door. When I find a Job that suits me, I can work right up to be , manager of the department or even .. president of the company, if I have the ability and the enterprise. If I want to start my own business ' and become an employer, I can do that, too. Nobody Says "No" ' In America nobody tells me I can't do all these things.

Being told to stay put, I would have little chance for advancement My wages would be regulated en tirely by the state, and there would be no redress of grievance. Leav ing a Job would be impossible. There would be no firing for unsatis factory work. Instead, I could be thrown into a concentration camp or a slave labor battalion.

Owned by approxi mately 2,500 fanciers, around 6,000 Greyhounds are in training at all times, with an equal number of breeding animals and youngsters at home in the kennels " Breeding fine racing Greyhound! ofttimes has proven a profitable occupation.

Most of today's racing Greyhounds are raised in the West by farmers who breed a litter or two a year as a hobby or sideline to their regular farming activities. Recent years have seen the estab lishment of numerous elaborate kennels built for the express pur pose of raising racing-Greyhounds. While breeding activities are cen tered in the Middle West and West Massachusetts has in the past 10 years come to the fore as a breed ing state and now produces around 1,000 racing dogs every year.

One of the best-known racing dogs of the past century, whose name appears in many Greyhound family trees, was Master McGrath, an Irish dog His picture was stamped on Irish coins, and a memorial statue of him was erected in Ireland. A name which shows in 'the pedi grees of nearly 65 per cent of modern coursing dogs is that of Mutton Cutlet, another Irish dog. and a proline sire of racing cham pions. The outstanding American sire of today is Never Roll, who stands at the top of the current list of sires of track winners. Greyhound track racing started in this country about 1906. The invention of the electric rabbit by Owen Patrick Smith gave the sport its first genuine impetus. Smith promoted racing meets throughout the West and at Emeryville, California, in 1919 the first really successful meeting was held. By 1926 dog racing had achieved national prominence and its sponsors were reaping hand some financial rewards. After Smith's death in 1927. Greyhound racing fell into the controlling hands of an unsavory group who all but ruined the sport Although the dishonest element has long since been banished, dog racing still suffers the effects of this un fortunate period. Conducted under state sanction and supervised by state appointed regulatory bodies. Greyhound racing is actually one of the cleanest and fairest of all American sports, the Center states.

" An old saying goes that "There is no good flock without a good shepherd, and there is no good shepherd without a good dog. In Scotland, where the work qf the sheep dog has reached near per fection, no shepherd would con sider selling, as he would feel himself helpless without his trained ally. The sight of a small black and white Border Collie driving a flock of sheep along a road or through a village in a calm, business-like manner is so common in that country as to at tract no attention whatsoever. - While it is believed that the dog's first association with man was as his hunting companion and helper, certainly nis second trust was as guardian of mankind's flocks and herds. Though there was little communication between primitive peoples, the dog's abil ity as herder and guardian was early discovered and utilized by many cunerent races and tribes. Many countries have developed shepherd breeds, and while these vary widely in size and appear ance, their work is identical. Bel- Sium produced the Belgian Sheep og and the Bouviers de Flandre. The Briard comes from France. Hungary developed the Pulik and the Komondorok. The Welsh Corgi, Old English Sheepdog, Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog and Collie all originated in the British Isles. The German Shep herd and the Giant Schnauzer are, of course, products of Germany. The Australian Sheepdog, or Kel pie, has proven his value in the rugged sheep-raising country "down under."
