These unfortunate animals are being hauled in j from se c tions several miles away in most cases; but inj some instances, not very, far away- The way it hap-j pens, some family has a ( chicken-killing or egg eating dog, or a mangy,] sore-eyed kitten, or one •that has killed a baby chick.] The animal is therefore condemned —not to death,] but to banishment to Mine] Fork, or Bald Creek, or Ivy] Gap, or Green Mountain, or, some distant point. A per-, son who will drop off an animal with evil habits or] with disease, a pup or a kitten that the children! have about handled to dea-| ;th, does not love his neigh-] |bor as himself- That sort of I person would sow tares by 'night in the fields of his neighbor. 1 Every few days lor some j neighbor of mine finds a 'strange dog on his premis -1 es.

But in a few days you be gin to miss chi c kens or eggs or they begin to chase our homegrown cats off the place. Like most of my neighbors, I raise my own cats and dogs, all that I need- In dogs I keep only cattle trained collies. My last male collie that diet last summer kept all stray cats and dogs chased away from our farm. Sue, the female collie that we now have, seems to welcome and adopt all the stray cats she can- The other morning I went out to feed our cats. When I dropped some food, there came out o f the shrubbery a gray streak and landed in the midst of our cats and grabbed up most of the food. It was a strange cat, and Sue did not resent its presence. Some mornings when I get up feeling, oh, so bad, and go toddling out, not knowing which I neeed the worst, a heavy cane or a strong drink, Sue will suddenly dash up and place her paws on my chest, kiss me, and, just as plain as words, say, “Oh, Pop, do you know what, we’ve got a new cat!” So, friends, you whom we almost know, and where you live, as humble and long suffering citizens, we, the folks along Route 197, respectfully ask you to quit funneling your unwanted animals upon us. Folks on other roads may speak for themselves- V. L.

Nowhere will you find a mecha nism more skilfully f tted part to part with scrupu lous precision—engineered to strieter standards of fine-car quality—than the deep-framed and durable | - Road master chassis. : It means, also, that you possess keen apprecia tion of everything that makes for unsurpassed 1 performance. i For there’s more to this dazzling beauty than its i thrilling take-off. There's the surplus of power that » you need to make you the master of busy traffic or open road—plus the \ elvet magic of Dynaflow Drive (at no extra co>t. mind you). r There’s the level-going luxury of ample roadweight buoyantly balanced on coil springs on every wheel —and the security of brakes specifically engineered ’ for firm control of this great-powered beauty. » Tuo«-i0 HENRY L TAYIQJL ABC t Jsh jrk, evry Monday §vsnlng.

Size for size, pound for pound, feature for feature, few cars can even approach what your dollars will buy in this finest of Buicks. There’s much more to he discovered by a visit to any Buick dealer s showroom. There’s the sumptuous softness of cmhions, the custom excellence of fabrics and interior trim, the grace and charm ol every line and contour.
