makes his home at the
Gervin Lewis residence on
Harkness Road in Jackson.
The male St. Bernard about
as fit for the hot, humid
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
climate of Georgia as a bikini
is fit for the ice and snow of
Antarctica, is a friendly and
congenial canine.
At times he is much too
friendly. Still just a puppy of
five months, Laika is
ignorant of the evil ways of
some folks in this world. Only
a few months after settling in
at his new home one day,
Harry, son of Gervin and
Julia Lewis, arrived home
and found no sign of Laika.
He had been let loose in the
backyard to exercise and
apparently had been lured
away by something or
someone.
Hours of searching and
questioning ensued. His
description was broadcast
over the radio and a reward
for his return was offered.
Unless he had been purposely
stolen, his return was more
or less inevitable how do
you lose a St. Bernard in
Jackson? Like the proverbial
sore thumb, his presence
anywhere would not go
unnoticed. Of course, theft is
what the Lewis family feared
most.
After what seemed to be
hours of anxiety and depres
sion, Laika was spotted being
coaxed along by two boys
who looked to be between the
ages of 10 and 12 years old.
After returning the still
naively content canine the
boys explained that they had
heard the radio broadcast
and found Laika in their
nieghborhood which was only
a few blocks from the Lewis
home. The boys were
summarily rewarded and
they went their way.
Since that day, needless to
say, unless there is someone
around to keep an eye on
Laika and his overly conge
nial nature, he remains
attached to the end of a
chain, the opposite end of
which is securly fastened to a
tree.
Laika spends most of his
time in the Lewis backyard,
seldom does he ever succeed
in gaining entrance into the
house. He did once and he
suffered the consequences.
Julia Lewis, matron of the
Lewis household, is a
pleasant and attractive
specimen of female charm,

More Fires
Reported
In Butts
Fires in Butts County
continue. Several grass fires
and one house fire were
reported last week.
On Wednesday, February
11, a house belonging to John
L. Freeman located on
Chestnut Drive was reported
on fire. The fire started when
plastic left on top of the water
heater ignited and spread the
fire.
A brush fire was reported
on land belonging to the
Fuqua family of Jackson,
located on Brownlee Road on
Saturday, February 14 at
12:30 p.m. Approximately
three acres were destroyed.
as much or more than any
man could ask for, that is, as
long as her rules of the
household are not violated.
Unfortunate for Laika, one of
the rules of highest order
deals with the prohibition of
the presence of animals
inside the house. Asa result
of his short lived excursion
into the Lewis house, Laika
has been permanently obvi
ated of a portion of his
aforementioned naivety.
Officially the dog of Julian
Lewis, the youngest son of
Gervin and Julia Lewis,
Laika is the pre-determined
mate of Lady Daiquiri,
another St. Bernard belong
ing to Harold and Joy Wells
of Jackson, which was
featured in this column last
October. The offspring of the
two should be sights to behold
imagine, a litter of
daiquiries with a base of
tequila!
