Many dogs are “cliff-dwellers"
— that is, they live with fami
lies whose homes are apartments
in cities. When this is the case,
the owner must take special
steps to be sure his pet is exer
cised each day.
For apartment - dwellers and
other families whose dogs sleep
indoors, either out of habit or
training, the right kind of dog
bed is important. It should be
comfortable for him, easy to re
move for airing and washing,
and free from dampness and
-drafts.
In this day of the "tubeless
(tire for cars, many people have
old inner tubes in the garage
which have been outdated by
the tite that holds its owh air.
An inner tube, providing it still
hokmiir, is the basic ingredient
fn a simple, do-it-yourself dog
bed for medium-size dogs.
There are two ways to
Uibbed using the tube. The first
is to -make an “envelope” of
denim, lightweight canvas or
-other sturdy material, which is
as wide and lorig as the tube
measures when it is inflated.
Place ‘the deflated tube in the
envelope, inflate it until the ma
terial is drawn taut, and baste
tip the open edge. The second
method is to work with a sim
ple square of colored denim or
other material large enough to
cover the diameter of the inflat
ed tube plus enough to cover
the ‘‘sides" and allow for lacing
the corners together underneath.
Once the material size is deter
mined, it is only necessary to
bind the edges to prevent ravel

the corners, and lace the cover
taut on the underside of the in
flated tftner tube.
Each of the two methods pro
vides for easy removal of the
cover for washing, and the
weight of the dog will form a
snug, comfortable hollow in the
center of the inflated tube.
Feeding Tip: Apartment dogs
like apartment dwellers, maj
not get sufficient exercise o
sunshine. Rationed amounts o
a quality dog food, like Friskies
will keep the dog’s waistlir
trim and supply essential nu
trients, including sunshine vita

continued, “is the highest rank a
young man can achieve in Scout
ing. One boy in eighty ^achieves
the honor. Kodiak can fee justly
proud of her four Eagle Scouts.”
Referring to the present cam
paign to raise funds, Lethin stat
ed: “The citizens of Kodiak have
an opportunity through the drive
to help span the tide from young
boyhood to manhood in this most
important phase of a lifetime.
Since the Scout movement’s incep
tion February 8, 1910, hundreds
of thousands of men and women,
through leadership and financial
support have built the bridge by
extending its character building
and citizenship training values in
to the lives of millions of boys.
Scouting must be maintained,’
Lethin said.
“Scouting is a non-profit organ
ization without subsidy and n 1>
ing completely on public support,
operating solely for the purpose •>£
building character, self-reliance,
and kindred virtues in boys. It
heeds financial assistance to ac
complish this purpose. Your in
vestment now will assure the fu
ture,” Lethin concluded.
Present at the kick-off breakfast
were Pete Ramaglia, Clarence
King, Ole Johnson, John Fletcher,
Ken Kincaid, Ernest Brickell, Paul
Stover, Dick Berg and Dennis Gil
lilan.
