Teach Fido the ABC's of Neighborliness
lhe dog population is grow
ing faster than ever in the ci
ties as well as in the suburbs.
The dog owner must assume
certain neighborly responsibili
ties toward the people next
door, whether it be in an apart
ment house or on a 100-acre
farm. Dr. E. M. Gildow, Di
rector of the Friskies Research
Kennels, warns that issues are
sure to arise if you let your
dog run helter skelter over the
neighbor's lawn, or if you let
him bark and whine when he’s
left alone.
Every dog should have the
training that turns him into a
good citizen. Dr. Gildow says
that this must start during
puppyhood by taking him out
for airings rather than letting
him run wild. If he tends to
wander when off leash, you’re
there to correct him and let
him know by your voice or a
light whack with a newspaper
that he’s off limits. Naturally,
you won’t accomplish this in a
day, but patience will reap its
just reward if Fido knows
what’s expected of him.
If your puppy must spend
time alone, get him used to the
idea while he’s still young.
Precondition the dog to being
left alone by confining him in
an allotted place, such as his
'TV ^V/~r
,/
sleeping crate or a special room,
regularly for part of the day
when you are at home. If he is
noisy, correct him by saying
“quiet” in a firm voice.
Firmer measures may be
: needed. Basically the psychol
ogy is to train him to live by
himself a part of the day
whether you are at home or
not. In this way you have more
confidence that he will be quiet
while you are gone. This will
usually eliminate more severe
! emergency training methods
; for dogs that have not been
| preconditioned to staying at
home alone. Most pets respond
| w'ell to this type of training,
j becoming good dog citizens.

Russian Venus Space Shot
Is Reported to Have Failed
WASHINGTON W — An inform
ed source says Russia tried a
Venus space shot a week ago but
it failed and fragments of the
spacecraft are now orbiting the
earth. A Space Agency spokesman
confirmed it has received informa
Georgianne Aulive, Koyuk, George
The source, who asked not to be
identified, said the Russians tried
their deep space shot a week ago
last Saturday, two days before the
United States launched its Mariner
2 from Cape Canaveral for a fly
by of Venus next December. The
source said three fragments of the
Russian spacecraft are still orbit
ing the earth.
A spokesman for the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration declined comment at first
but later said of the report: “That
conforms with the information we
have.”
NASA Director James Webb had
no comment. Nor was there com
ment from Moscow.
The Russians have never an
nounced a space shot beforehand,
and they have never announced
a failure. When a Soviet space
shot is successful it is made public.
The failure of the Venus probe
could mean Russia will be unable
to try again until early 1964. Time
is fast running out for such shots,
and it will be 19 months before
the earth’s nearest planetary neigh
bor is close enough for another at
tempted probe.

It Takes A Lot of Work
And Study For a Man
To Become a Bum
ST. LOUIS UP) — The carefree
bachelor, the idle retired man and
the playboy who can’t hold a job
may have something in common
with the bum on skid row.
Professor Boris Levinson told the
American Psychological Assn, in
a paper, the bum “has nothing
driving him, has nothing to live
for, and does not want to become
anything.”
Homeless men in the middle and
upper brackets would end up in
skid row if they did not have
money, said Levinson. Instead,
they may be found in residential
hotels, retired at an early age or
jumping from one job to another.
All homeless men lack close
personal relationships, he said.
Levinson said the homeless man
“does not look for security, for a
place to remain and stay for a
long time. He prefers his freedom
even if it is only freedom to starve
or to beg. He wishes to do only
simple, non-responsible, short
term jobs that provide spot cash.
He avoids, as the plague, all jobs
which may bring about self-in
volvement.
“It takes almost as long to learn
to become homeless and to de
velop the necessary ‘professional’
attitudes as it takes to become a
professional such as a physician
or a psychologist.”
