Sally’ Walks 150 Miles Back Home
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. July 10 (U. P.).—Sally, a T-year-old white Spitz, nursed four bleeding paws and searched vainly for her master today after walking all the way from Indianapolis. Sally's master, J. B. Carr, died recently and when his widow moved to Indianapolis she took Sally along. But the dog grew homesick in the strange surroundings and came back. It took her more than a.week to make the 150-mile trip, and she arrived here with her fur bedraggled and her paws sore and bleeding. She lay down on the front steps of her old home and waited for her master to return, E. ©. Carr, who took over his brother's job as a manager of a milk bottle exchange here, said

Editorial
So “What's Cookin’” is just a year old! ; I's quite a lusty youngster—perhaps the most widely traveled person for its age—in history! Its brightening presence has appeared in the Solomons, in India, in New Guinea, in North Africa, in England, Iceland, Australia. It has sailed the seven seas—it has visited every camp and field on the American continent— And everywhere—it has been taken fondly to heart! We are encouraged to think that this child has helped lift the terrific strain of homesickness—helped relieve the fearful loneliness of Hoosiers in far off places—and has given a lift to the men nearer home! We wish we could put these next few words down in print—without its seeming to be self-praise-—but a lot of people come in and tell us—what a grand thing we're doing for Indianapolis boys everywhere in Service! But look what we get out of it!

Wheelbarrows Are Sold—
A COUPLE OF WEEKS ago we told you how government red tape prevented victory gardeners from buying 6000 wheelbarrows abandoned by the WPA. . . . Well, we beg to report now that the barrows are being sold. . + « Most of them were purchased from the U. S, treasury department by a local auto parts company, which is © reselling them to gardeners. . . . They'll come in handy fog hauling away some of the bumper crops expected by backyard gardeners. . . . The local branch office of the OWI will be closed July 15, along with 45 others throughout the country, because Congress cut the OWI appropriation. . . Louis F. Hutchinson is the branch manager. . . . C. Warren McDermed, an information specialist in the office, goes to the state defense council as an assistant information officer.
