Hearing-Ear Dogs By BARBARA S. MOFFET WASHINGTON - Dogs are lending their acute sense of hearing to the deaf. In the tradition of seeing eye dogs, "hearing-ear" dogs are alerting their masters to a variety of sounds such as doorbells, baby cries, alarm clocks, smoke detectors, and burglar alarms. More than 25 dogs have been sent to homes of deaf people around the country by the American Humane Association in Denver; 20 more are in training there. Because the dogs don't guide their masters, just about any size will do. In telligence and a pleasant personality are important. "We've trained every thing from a mixed dachshund to a full-blooded golden retriever," said Robert White, program director. The canine recruits usually come from animal shelters, so there is an almost endless supply. Dogs ?re provided to the deaf free, but training can cost $1,800 per dog, the Na tional Geographic Society says. Turning a dog into a sen try of sound can take as long as five months. First the dog learns to obey sim ple commands. Then it is taught to be sensitive to certain sounds. The dogs alert their masters by running to the source of the sound, then to their masters, and back to the source. For wake-up duty, smaller ones are taught to jump on the bed and lick the deaf person's face, while larger dogs are restricted to a firm nudge with their noses. The dogs are "custom trained." A deaf mother in Dallas requested that her dog be able to recognize the cry of her baby. The dog, an Australian shepherd, was trained with a tape record MOORE'S HOUSE PAINT Harris Plumbirfg I Phone 42S-557S ing of a baby played next to a doll in a crib. Unfortunately, when the dog reached his new home, the real baby just didn't sound the same. The dog was quickly retrained at home, and soon was duti fully informing the mother when her baby began to whimper. "The dogs become very aware," White said. "They seem to develop a sixth sense, the way they pick up small things lake a tea kettle whistle." One dog learned so well that it began notifying its owners when the television was too loud and when the furnace and air conditioner came on. They decided to put up with the annoyance. Hearing-ear dogs offer new independence for the country's 1.8 million deaf people and could ease the minds of parents of deaf children. A canine com panion, for instance, is taught to warn a youngster if something threatening is behind him and to lie down in front of a child until a speeding car passes. The American Humane Association program is a three-year pilot project financed with private con tributions. If successful ? and if money is available ? the program will branch out into 10 centers around the nation. The goal is to provide a dog to every deaf person in the country who wants one.' Dogs that fail to qualify as hearing-ear dogs might become companions to other people in need. "These dogs hold a great deal of promise for disabled and older people," White said. Deadline Set Saturday. Oct. 22. is the deadline for purchasing tickets for the ehieken salad luncheon which is to be served at the Harvest Time Basaar sponsored by the United Methodist Women of the Hertford United Methodist Church.

THE PICTURE - 12:13-15 While Chirat was teaching Hia disciples many truths as to how they should live, He was rudely interrupted by a man who waa displeaaed with the diviaion of his father's estate. Thia man asked Christ to plead with his brother for a more equitable division of the inheritance. Christ refused to grant his request because it was not His mission to sit in judgment upon such matters or to be an arbitrator in civil affairs. He took the opportunity, though, of warning the man against the sin of covetousness by pointing out the fact that life does not consist in the abundance of things possessed. He taught that getting things should never be the goal of any man's life for it is "being" and not "having" that really counts. THE PARABLE - 12:16-22 This rich man in the parable was used as an illustration of the wrong manner in which to earn a living. According to the standards of the world, he was not a bad man. He was engaged in farming which is certainly an honorable voca tion. He had the commendable trait of working hard at his chosen task. He did not waste his time in idleness and then expect the grovernment to support him. There are some things about this capable, industrious, frugal, and successful farmer that are of interest to us and quite worthy of our careful consideration. His fancies. He fancied that life is for accumulation. He was industrious, shrewd, deligent, and economical.

Winslow of Hertford. knew how to select ground brought forth plentifully and soon his barns were full to overflowing. His energies were expanding in getting and keeping, rather than sharing with others. He fancied that he could make life a thing of ease. That is far from real life. Man needs some great, worthy, and challenging task. He was thinking in terms of many years when, as a matter of fact, he was almost at the end of the way. Was he a success? No! While he made a fortune, he missed the real purpose of life, He considered himself a huge success, but God called him a fool because his thoughts, time and energies were devoted to his life only. His follies. This man centered his undivided attention on things, putting property above purpose, cash above character, wealth above wisdom, and time above iternity. In handling his accumulations, he ignored the needs of all others and their claims for help. How much sweeter and better his life would have been if only he had lived for others instead of living for what he could get out of the world! He left God out of his life. This man made tragic blunder of completely ignoring God in his thoughts, considerations, plans, and life. Apparently he lived as if he never expected to die. Wise in preparing for the possible, he was certainly a fool in neglecting to prepare for the inevitable. Anybody who follows his example and fails to prepare for eternity is a fool. Why should anybody leave God out of his life? THE PREVENTATIVE - 12:23-31 Man's Chief concern is not the acquirement to food, clothes, and material benefits but, rather, the devotion of his thoughts, time, and efforts to the doing of God's will. To permit our thoughts to be centered upon the things which pass easy is certain to cause distraction and to produce anxiety. Let us seek the things of atyding value, resting in the assurance that God will not withhold any good thing from his children who obey Him. + + + The Sunday School Lesson is sent in each week by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. and is based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Committee on the Uniform Series.
