TEACHING YOUR DOG
ENGLISH
By Bob Bartos
Prominent Dog Authority
One of the endearing things
about dogs is their inability to
aass you back or argue. Yet it’s
this very lack of a satisfactory
means of communication be
tween dog and man that frus
trates many a master. When
4get down off the couch" is met
,*■ by a blank stare, or “you’re a
bad dog" is answered by a
bappy wag of the tall, your only
n'ish is that Fido could under
stand English.
Actually, there’s no reason
vhy he can’t... at least enough
or it to get along beautifully
with his human associates. It
*H boils down to teaching him
the meaning of a few short and
basic words and this is done by
getting him to associate the
word with the action through
frequent repetition. Each time
•be catches on to what's expect
kI of him, he should be reward
ed with much patting and a
*nack. The magic words which
constitute his basic vocabulary
are: “sit”, “stay", “down",
’come" and “heel”, along with
“no" when you want him to
stop what he’s doing, "bad”
when he’s naughty and "good”
when he’s good.
To help you out in your train*,
ing, there's now available a
33 1/3 r.p.m. phonograph rec
ord called “How to Train Your
f>og”, narrated by a nationally
known dog trainer. It covers the
basic commands. Simply play
the record a few times, follow
the instructions, and before you
lcnow it your dog will be acting
*s though he understands Eng
lish. Even the youngsters will
have fun working by the record
with Fido. To order the record.

Holding down wave action by

other factors has cut mainten

Total capacity of the KEA plant
is 3213 KW, Johnson stated/Two
800 KW diesel generating units
have been installed—one in 1957
and one in 1958. Installed at an
approximate cost of $400,000 they
are financed by the Rural Electri
fication Administration at an in
terest rate of 2 per cent.

“Approximately 22 lighting units,

he said.
. KEA’s manager, in commenting
on the few outages to the system
during the year, warned against
poorly installed ateimaes and wir
ing generally, which have caused
several outages. “Should your
antenna connect with a power
line, there is the possibility you
will have 7200 volts brought
right to your set,” he said.. “Think
what that could do to. you.” He
