Layona Glenn
Says . .
A recent issue of the Atlanta
Journal brought a touching
front page picture of two little
boys who ran away from home
because their mother cooked
their pet duck and pidgeon.
One could almost say it was
refreshing — certainly it was
impressive — that among the
usual reports of juvenile de
linquency as demonstrated by
violence, cruelty, and even
murder of parents, there should
appear the account of a child
ish revolt caused by outraged
love and compassion.
Sometimes children are so
little understood by their eld
ers. who, if they pay any at
tention at all to them seem to
want them to compete like
grown-ups in beauty shows, or
similar competition instead of
allowing them to enjoy care
free childhood appropriate to
their age.
Perhaps one of my own
childhood experiences made me
sympathetic toward the little
boys losing their pets so tragi
cally:
As small tots out on the farm
my two younger brothers and
lumbia. and six provinces.
Dr. Clara Cockerille, profes
sor of education, Westminster
College, New Wilmington, Pen
nsylvania, a well-known and
highly regarded educator, will
speak at the Birthday Lunch
eon. The title of her address
will be “We Hold These
Truths.”
At the Presidents and Found
ers Banquet on the final even
ing of the convention the speak
er will be Dr. Vera M. Dean,
editorial consultant of the
Foreign Policy Association
staff. She has chosen as her
subject “Asia and Africa: Con
trasts and Comparisons.” Dr.
Dean has traveled widely and
frequently in these areas, as
in many other parts of the
world, and is well-acquainted
with the leaders of Asian and
African nations and with their
cultures and their problems.
The latest of the many books
she has written on internation
al affairs is Builders of Emerg
ing Nations.

I were given the “runt” of a
litter of pigs on condition that
we feed and care for it. We
happily accepted the charge.
Rigged up a bottle and fed him
morning, noon and night, and
between meals for a rarity. In
addition, we gave him a daily
bath, he hadn’t a colored hair
on him and we scrubbed him
till his skin was pink. We
named him “Gee” and he
learned to come when we call
ed. He liked to be scratched,
and when we went out into the
yard he'd run and rub up
against us to be scratched. He
grew so heavy that often he'd
tumble us over when he tried
to rub up against us.
Finally my father decided he
was becoming a rather danger
ous playmate, so the first cold
autumn morning they sent us
three youngsters over to grand
pa’s to spend the day, and
butchered the shoat.
When we came home “Gee”
did not come to meet us, nor
did he come when we called!
At last we had to go to bed
without bedding down “Gee”
first, and 1 for one, cried my-

self to sleep.
Next morning, we wer*
served sausage for breakfast.
With the uneriving instinct of
childhood I sensed the truth,
and burst into tears, crying.
“This is Gee!” That started th*
boys! Soon every body wa*
wiping tears from their eye*,
and my father had the sausage
removed from the table and
we saw no more of "Gee”.
In the years to come I heard
that the sausage, spare-rib*,
etc. went as presents to the
neighbors.
I am glad that my parent*
were understanding enough to
realize that to a child, eating a
beloved pet was like canniba
lism.
We should avoid outraging
the sensitivity of children, and
be glad they are tender heart
ed. They will get enured to life
by hard knocks soon enough.—
All too soon!
