JACK MIDDLETON I ' Purina Cat Care Center A Place in Industry Cats may not appear on the rolls of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but they play a big role in American industry. Imagine any sort of food warehouse without a cat to hold down the rodent population. Or a ship without a cat! Practically every butcher shop and grocery store keeps one or two around and even the U. S. Government makes annual appropriations for the maintenance of cats in the Post Office, printing and engraving and other Departments. Canneries, distilleries, food processing and other plants, constantly fighting rodent infestation, are more than willing to maintain cats on their payrolls. One large company recently granted its cats public recognition for “satisfactory services,” and importers and shipping lines employ caretakers to feed and care for their feline employees. A healthy cat is capable of destroying as many as 13 rodents in a single night, thus saving industry millions of dollars a year in extermination costs. “White collar” cats are finding jobs in other areas as well. Important roles in the movies, on stage, radio and television! One out of five cartoonists depicts a cat in his comic strip and newspaper and magazine advertisements abound with furry kittens yelling soap, perfume and silky x'abrics. Some trained cat models earn SSO an hour posing for photographers.

f Rev. J. Wilburn Lewallen ‘ Family* Night Speaker At i Bethel Church 1 The Progress class of Bethel Church of the Brethren in Milford was in charge of a family night ’ for the entire church on Sunday r evening A potluck supper was " held. There were about 75 per- * sons in attendance. This was fol- • lowed with a speedh by Rev. J. • Wilburn Lewallen, new executive ' district secretary for the North- ■ em Indiana District, Church of p the Brethren. Rev. Lewallen spoke to the * group on “The Joys of Good Liv- ! ing.” He said worship today has taken on new dimensions that include eating, visiting, working, > and playing together along with| ’ spiritual growth. If we are truly Christian we will bear each oth- ’ ers burdens and be willing to 1 “wear each others mocassins” as the Indians put it, to show the quality of our concern for one another. Our relationship to God and one another can remain con- I stant even if we do not always agree with one another. It is good for us to explore ideas. This is a ■ true test of our willingness to search for peace and light and will lead t<? its achievement. Churches, families, and other organizations can find new vitality through love. If we deliver to others the “tender loving care” we expect to receive we will lift others up and in doing so will find we have lift- , ed ourselves up. The events of the evening were presided over by A. R. Hollar, ■ class president. The tables were decorated with beautiful fall leaves, gourds, squash and horns of plenty. A beautiful streamer of burnt orange ran the full length of each table. The committee in charge of arrangements was Mrs. Mervin Mishler, Mrs. Cleveland Shuder, and Mrs. Jesse Miller. SYRACUSE LOCALS Michele Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Miller of Syracuse, spent the week end at home. She is a freshman at Indiana university.

Dribs . . . And ... Dabs By DORIS DARNELL Don Marquis: If you make people think they’re thinking they’ll love you; but if you REALLY make them think they’ll hate you. Before we go further, a slight error appeared last week in this column -it read: “Let’s get behind the winners - support them, fight them now. Obviously, the word “don’t” was missing in front of fight. OK? j Interest is increasing in the 'various tournaments for Our women bowlers. The City Tournament will be held in January, the State and National tournaments start in March, but reservations are due now. Most of the women know whom to contact for in-' frmation, but if in doubt, call your city secretary, Helen Frushour (Mrs. Charles). i Kathleen Jetmore worked for 19% hours Tuesday on the election board (as did the others in precinct two) despite a heavy cold. Only a sincere, dedicated person could work that hard while feeling so miserable. Sh’fe is a Campfire leader, also, of the sth grade girls, and her group visited the polls to obtain first-hand I knowledge of the voting procedurI es. We need more people like her. Kathleen, we salute you! I Went to the Lakeside Laundry to try out their coin-operated cleaning machine. A bulletin board is hung for the convenience of the customers for personal ads only. Everything from automobiles to zithers was advertised for sale or i wanted to buy, and many services were listed also. It’s a good way to kill time, and makes interesting reading. Have you ever noticed that a half-truth is always the bad half? And that you can live in peace with your neighbors only as long as your neighbor wants to? Earl Money came boiling into Galloway’s Grocery Saturday giving someone the dickens, but I i didn’t hear what he said because he had his hands over my ears. Wonder if he knows that I’m a lip-reader? He had a beautiful dog with him, almost as goodlooking as he. He is a handsome hunk of man in his uniform, but then I guess he is in street clothes, too. At least, Fredetta seems to think he is, and I always go along with what “Freddie” thinks. How do you explain to a kid these days that the government spends billions of dollars on nuclear bombs, and then outlaws firecrackers? Don Byrd, who is now visiting Germany on his tour, wrote that East Berlin was like the 17th Century, drab, dreary and still I much in ruins, while West Berlin is modern and prosperous with many autos and people on the streets. He said that there was the typical large-city hustle and bustle of people with a purpose for living. Did you ever read those “Notice to Taxpayer” ads in the paper? I mean . . . really read them? For instance, in the County General Fund, it said Sher 604-Pur-chase of Vehicles - $217.50, yet [ under Treas. 602 -it says Typewriter - $441.00. Yes, I suppose, Virginia, it’s much more necessary to have gold plate on a typewriter than it would be to have wheels on a vehicle, wouldn’t it? The Larry Weisser family and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ritter and Paul of Milford attended the supper held last Tuesday evening at the Clunette Methodist church.
