But there are exceptions. Some pet dogs have very important demands placed on them. There is perhaps no better example of this than the dogs who, since their introduction in the U.S. in 1929, have helped more than 4.00 blind persons lead productive lives. Although there is no one “right” breed for this important guide work, Ger man shepherds and Labra dor and golden retrievers come closest to having this combination of qualities. Stamina. They have the physical size and stength to spend several hours a day in harness, rapidly walking with an adult man or woman. dASEBALL PRESENTATIONS MADE —Workers and officials in the Little League and Babe Ruth programs were presented plaques Friday for meritorious service in their respective leagues.

They have the capacity to absorb and remember instructions given during a training period that usually lasts about three months. lntelligence. They can gauge situations in everyday life and decide whether to follow old orders exactly or modify them to fit anew situation. Character. They have the willingness to do what is asked rather than follow their own personal inclina tions and mislead their blind companions. Most dog breeds have these four basic characteris tics, but few have them in proper porportion. Poodles, for instance, are probably smarter than most shep herds; however, they are too obedient to be good guide dogs. When poodles in training are given the com- PERSONAL Mr. and Mis Bill Hardy and Sandy, Mr. and Mrs. Reger Hardy and Chad, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Aw try spent last weekend in the Cherokee Mountains.

Other breeds have a tendency to head for home when they feel they have done enough work for the day. In one East Coast training program, over 100 dogs are screened and trained each year as companions and guides for blind persons. Male and female puppies start their training by being boarded with 4H Club members to get accustomed to household activities. Then, at about 15 months of age, they are returned to the to begin a carefully tailored program of obed ience, guide work and “Educated disobedience” lessons. The obedience lessons are those any well-mannered dog receives: sit, stay, come, fetch and others. Next, the guide work accustoms the animal to the feel of the harness and encourages him to think about handling everyday obstacles such as toys on the sidewalk and traffic. He also learns the specific cues which indicate barriers like curbs and stairs to the blind —a slight hesitation for stairs, a full stop for curbs. Finally, the “educated disobedience” lessons those that make him under stand that there are times when his own judgement must prevail over his Warner Robins visited Sun day with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. R.

They arrived Friday and returned home Sunday with Miss Karen Barfield accompanying them for a visit. master’s, such as refusing to cross a street where there is nothing but a gaping con struction site. In final examination, a blindfolded instructor takes several trips through city streets with only the dog for guidance. Dog and blind applicants are matched for physical size and character. Persons who are nervous and tense are given dogs with especially calm, steady natures. Petite women received slightly smaller dogs than husky men. Each dog and prospec tive owner go through a short training period to see if they work well together. Some times an individual must try more than one dog until the proper combination is a chieved. The great value of a Seeing Eye dog lies -in the concentrated atter*jsiin he devotes to his job'-'dlfd his ability to react to situations the blind person is not aware of. Th ‘refore, while you may feel that petting a stranger’s guide dog or feeding him little treats is a friendly gesture, it is an inclination that should be resisted. What you are really doing is distracting a busy employee in a complicated job.

Cemetery Clean Up Scheduled Jackson Mayor C. B. Brown, Jr. and members of the City Council, J. Dawson Byrant, Allen Byars, John L. Coleman, Roy Goff, and John Robert Pulliam, are seeking to enlist the support of property owners at Jackson City Cemetery to remove old flower pots, old wreaths, and containers on or before August 11th, the date set for a “Clean The Cemetery” pro ject. Mr. Brown observed that “in an effort to clean up our city, we are also going to have to put the appearance of our cemetery in better condition. It is our observa tion that a lot of citizens have a great number of old flower pots and containers in the city cemetery. Therefore, we are requesting anyone who has the above mentioned items on their lots, as well as old wreaths, who wish to keep them, to please remove them between now and August 11th.
