C. Dear Sir: As Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Black Mountain Day Care Center for Handi capped children, I want to thank you for the very good article in your issue of June 5 in re gard to the Center. The pic ture accompanying the article too, is unusually good. There is one correction I would like to make, however. There are more workers than Mrs. Corrie Rutherford, Mrs. Frances Hoffman, and Mrs. Al lie Lou Palton. Mrs. Ruther ford is the only worker who is there every day. No other worker is there more than once a week, as we have a Monday group, a Wednesday group, and a Friday group, with enough on the list to allow an occasional break for all the volunteer per sonnel. The other workers, at thepre sent time are: Mrs. Barbara Baltin, Mrs. Eleanor Bridge man, Miss Helen Drawing, Mrs. Margaret Goodman. Mrs. James Jackson, Mrs. Sarah Moseley, Mrs. Blanche Patrick, Mrs. Dot Thomas, and Mrs. Cora Whiteside. We also have some substitutes who will help out in a pinch. I would like to say that no worker has ever quit except for reasons of work, illness, other good reasons. Thanking you again for your very warm and appreciative article, I am, Cordially yours, Bessie E. Hodges (Mrs. B. S.) 135 Montreat Road Black Mountain, N. C. June 5,1969 Thank you, Mrs. Hodges! Our deepest apologies to those who were omitted. -Ed. The average age of the 14, 660,000 World War II veterans is 49.3, the VA reports. Four Footed Footnotes by Mrs. H. McGuire Wood At dur Animal Shelter off the Leicester Highway in West Asheville wonderful things DO happen daily! Lost family pets are reunited with their owners! Cruelly - treated animals are given protection! Unwanted pets become wanted ones again! Stray animals are given refuge! ‘"riie Reader’s Digest” It happened at our Shelter .. . Mrs. S. S. Cooley’s little dog Lobo, while shopping with her in Asheville broke away from her, leash and all. She frant ically tried to trace his pur suit but in seconds he was lost in the crowd. She advertised in the paper and over the radio, but to no avail. Then she contacted the Shelter. No dog of his description had been brought in. Two weeks or so later she visited the Shelter, herself, hoping, and there in the run was Lobo. He had been brought in only a few hours earlier. It had been reported he had been “hanging around” a home up on Beaucatcher Mtn., his leash still dragging behind. Tbe Shelter had only a des cription <of the dog, but it fit this little dog perfectly. They were about to contact Mrs. Cooley when she appeared. She delightedly exclaimed, “That’s my dog.” The care taker smiled, “You know lady we don’t go half as much by the people saying “That’s my dog” as we do by the dog saying, “Tbat’s my people.” It is so important to tag your dog, but this story proves what the alert dedicated personnel at the Shelter can and do, do with only a description of a lost dog. The Black Mountain Humane Society is having a booth at the widely advertised Fair on the grounds of the Baptist Church on Montreat Road, July 4th and 5th. We hope all humane mind1 ed folk attending will do their part in supporting our cause by subscribing to a yearly mem bership (one dollar, fifty cents for children), and will make a purchase of two of the in teresting oddments we will have for sale.
