Postman’s Friend
CLEAR WATER, ~>la. (/P)—The
saga of Buster was ended by a
snake in the grass.
The eight-year-old German
shepherd long had endeared him
self to postmen following them on
their rounds and defending them
against attacks by other dogs.
Finally, fluster looked for an
other world to conquer. He came
from the grass in a woods mortal
ly wounded by a snake.
Today the mailmen are taking
up a collection for Buster’s funer
al. They want to bury him on the
lawn back of the Postoffice. Over
his grave they want to put a stone
saying he was the postmen’s
friend.
Seek To Rebuild
Salmon Runs
((JF) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The
House appropriations committee
recommended Tuesday $1,100,000
to start a program of salmon re
habilitation in the lower Colum
bia river.
The budget bureau suggested
$1,450,000.
The proposal is in the army civil
functions appropriations bill but
the fish and wildlife service would
spend the money. The service
would work with Washington and
Oregon on the program.
The action was taken because
of fears that construction of the j
McNary dam will further reduce
salmon runs in the lower river. !
