DOG FIGHTS
By Bob Bartos
Manager, Frisklet Research Kennels
Some dogs like nothing better
than to put up their ruffs and
fight. Many, of course, are bluff*
.and, when challenged, retire.
Others are belligerent toward a
aingle dog, or a particular breed
of dog, and the best of friends
with others. But those that real
ly mean business ... the serious
fighters . . . are always eager to
toattle.
Obedience training and the
•use of common sense can usual
ly control any of these Individ
nals. Once the meaning of the
-word ‘'no” is understood and
repeated firmly at the sight of
.another dog. you mrv he able
to eurb the fighting spiri .
: 4i any event, a dog that’s un
reliable should be kept in his
own backyard in the country
and out of leash reach of fellow
dogs in the city.
it’s actually well to apply this
rule to all dogs, for no matter
how friendly your pet may seem
towards other dogs, you never
fcnow when a third factor may
outer the picture. You, the own
er, a child, or a bone, for ex
ample, may arouse three
trouble-making emotions in
dogs... jealousy, protection and
possession.
Should you ever De unfor
tunate enough to have your pet
a contestant in a dog fight, nev
or try grabbing either dog by
the collar. You’re certain to get
irftten. Get hold of the aggressor
by the hind legs or tail, lift him
off the ground and throw him as
far as you can. Scold him in
< liarsh tones and try to keep
them separated until help ar
rives.

Feedinc Tip: If your dog is a
poor eater, try competition
pfhlch will stimulate his sense
of possession. A second dog or a
friendly neighbor dog can be
osed for this purpose. Your pet
will probably down his grub
rather than let another dog get

Prior to leaving the sub, Mary
was presented with a Submariner
card which read in part: “Be it
known to all good sailors of the
seven seas that Mary L. Deery,
SA, USN, who this date was re
ceived aboard the USS Quillback,
in recognition of such boarding
and her initiation into the mys
teries of the deep, is hereby desig
nated an Honorary Submarine. Be
it therefore proclaimed she is a
true and loyal daughter of the
wearers of the Dolphins.”

Housing Needed
For New Teachers
The present lack of vacant
houses in Kodiak is seen as work
ing a hardship on new teachers
arriving here to take up duties
in the Kodiak school system.
It is virtually impossible to find
small or large homes, according
to resident teachers here who are
making an effort to find housing
for them. About eleven new tea
chers are expected here this fall.

Two Chevy middleweights prove their rawhide stamina!
Top hands on high-country hauls!
Ask any trucker who’s been over
Wolf Creek Pass, 10,850 feet up
in the San Juans: a 9-mile pull to
the summit and low gear all the
way down. Mr. C. H. Phillips of
Alamosa, Colorado, has a 6403
and a 6503 Chevrolet truck that
are up over this route the year
round, taking sheep and beef to
pasture, later marketing the stock
in Denver. In less than a year,
his Chevy middleweights have
averaged about 50,000 miles of
this kind of treatment—and
they’re going stronger than ever!
Watch Chevy trucks at work
out in range country. It’s a sight
to see the way they pack into
high-up mountain pastures and
handle through brush and rock
like a cowman’s favorite cutting
horse. Take any truck work for
that matter. Chevy middleweights
probably handle a bigger variety
of jobs than any trucks alive.
About anything you name, includ
ing work that used to be reserved
strictly for bigger rigs. When a
truck’s built the way a Chevy is,
lean-muscled and rawhide-tough,
it takes to ugly trails the same
way most trucks roll over the
highway. It just keeps going,
without a big to-do, but looking
good every mile of the way. How
they do it is your Chevrolet deal
er’s department. He’ll be glad to
supply details and specifications
on the type of models you need.
No job’s too tough for a Chevrolet truck! wiEBttJ
