MW w- 1 The Facts of Life Any owner of a “lady” dog will soon have to come to grips ■with dog facts of life. Lady will begin to show a lively interest in her sex life only at the time of her period.” This will usually occur the first .time between the age of six months and one year and normally every six months thereafter. During these periods she may be bred and willconceive. The heat cycle usually lasts : 18 to 21 days. For the first 8 days your female will probably refuse the attention of male dogs though thev will be attracted to her and therefore very much in evidence. From the 10th to the 14th- day, your female will be very interested in receiving male attention. If mating takes place at this time, it will likely result in puppies. During the latter third of the period, her interest in males vrifl have waned. But the males will continue to seek her out. . ‘. Dog experts at the 1 unna Pet Care Center in St. Louia give this cautionary warninga female in season should never be left unattended or off unless she is in an unclimbabJ* pen or in the house.

TKAVEL FAIR By Betty Wason Packing Countdown Whether it’s a summer vacation, a week-end visit to relatives, or an impulsive pleasure outing, traveling can be , fun. Some helpful cn from my new O&F ' book. “Travel ell Fair,” (Random House, $ 1.00) DiS?^W can 'help you off x ' to a good start. What to take is the first big derision, and it’s not to be arrived at lightly. To start with, make lists. Those things which won’t be needed until you reach your destination belong on one list, items needed enroute on another. • Be sure to include plenty of shoes — good walking shoes and shoes to change to when the' pair you’re wearing get wet. Sweaters, too, ate always needed in abundance — even in summer when you are likely to run into unexpected cold spells. Add to these the regional clothing such as ski clpthes or bathing suits you’ll be needing. To crowd many items into the smallest possible space, these packing hints may help: • Roll instead of fold as many j articles of clothing as possible. • Place heavier objects such as shoes against the back end of the suitcase. • Tuck small items, jewelry, socks or nylons inside shoes to save room. All the family’s bedtime needs should be put into one easy to reach overnight bag. For a journey with several stops enroute, < you may need more than one overnight bag with, changes of quick-drying fabrics that can be rinsed out in a washbowl at night. ' ’ Copies of “Travel Fair” are available at Howard Johnson’s restaurants and motor lodges and at leading bookstores.. In it , you'll find loads of tips on trips for American families on the gow

By GEORGIA BUSTER v Winter came to Syracuse in the form of a very cold wind and snow on Thursday night. The next morning there was snow on cars and on the ground but by late morning it was gone. The hunters are out and the bird hunters are fortunate this year as the state released pheasants at TriCounty Game Reserve. Bill Hawn of Warsaw, a member of the Hoss Hill Bowmen Archery club of Syracuse, bagged a 10-point buck deer in Brown county state park with a bow and arrow. I A letter from a friend in Maine tells the deer season opened there with a pony, moose, goat, two calves, a cow and four men shot. Wonder how many deer! This month soon will be in die past with the Christmas season coming—the season of giving and good will toward men. This year our giving should include those who are not as fortunate as the I rest of us. So very many, not only abroad but in our own country, need food, clothing, and a spiritual up-lift at the holy season. My Christmas has started. On November 10 I received my first giftthen in a few days my first Christmas greeting. This was from Sue and Andy .Anderson (Mr. and Mrs. E. T. .Anderson l who are my neighbors. They will be spending Christmas at Johannesburg. South Africa. While there they, w; 11 visit Kruger National Park and? diamond and gold mines.

There must be 18.000 gifts collected for each patient to receiye one gift. Hope each of you will attend church in the morning. We in Anierica have a great deal to be thankful tor and if we were in church all day we could not thank the Lord for all of our blessings. Most services will last only one hour.
