BLADEN CAPITOL
REVISES LAWS
Mayor Fussell Says Ordi
ances Cover AH Phases
Of Government
BLADENBORO, Dec. 6 —
The town commissioners of
Bladenboro have adopted an or
dinance revising, consolidating,
elaborating, and adding to the
ordinances. The new ordinances
cover every phase of city gov
ernment including fire protec
tion, and building regulations.
These were urgently needed to
decrease the high insurance
rate. Mayor W. G. Fussell said.
Passing "these ordinances is part
of the program started some
time ago to bring the insurance
rates down. With the securing
of the new fire truck and the
passing of these ordinances the
town is now ready for the in
spection of the state Insurance
rating bureau to determine
whether or not the town gets a
better classification. All the re
quirements have been met and
a better classification is expect-j
ed. Mayor Fussll said.
The town ordinances had not I
been revised since 1913. Many
old ordinances which were
needed at that time are com
pletely out of date now. By
passing the new ordinances, all
old ones were repealed.
Quincy, Mass was incorpor
ated under its present name in
1792. in honor of John Qunicy. j

ANOTHER INTERESTING
ITEM
A few years ago a rather in
teresting true dog story ema
nated from Liverpool, England.
A man living a few miles out
j side of Liverpool sold his pack
of foxhounds to a friend in Ire
land. The dogs arrived in Ire
land and were soon kenneled in
their new home. Evidently one
of the hounds yearned for his
old master and home in England
for one day he appeared at the
port where he had arrived from'
England. A ship was leaving for
Liverpool, and unnoticed in the
crowd he slipped aboard it.
On the ship's arrival in Liver
pool, those about the docks
noticed a hungry - looking dog
saunter down the gangplank and
lose himself in the crowd on the
dock. A few days later his old
master was greatly surprised to
find him happily wagging his
tail at the door.
Hundreds of times dogs have
traveled overland many miles to
return to former homes, but
this, to my knowledge, is the
only incident where a dog took
a boat to cover part of the dis
tance.
CHECK DOG’S PAWS
If you ever ran barefoot dur
ing Summertime when you were
a child you will remember the
sharp pain of walking over a
field of fresh stubble, or of step
ping on a sharp stone or a piece
of glass. Your dog goes bare
foot all the time. It is true that
Nature provides him with pads,
but still he doesn’t have thick
leather soles, as we do, to pro
tect him from pointed stones
and glass.
Every few days examine your
pet’s four paws. Generally, you
will find them in good condition
but you may note occasionally
that there is a crack in one pad
■— ■ .i— . ■ /T4/u«« £>£*?*** r•
caused by having stepped on
glass or some other piercing
surface. There might be a thorn
or even a tack in the pad. Check
the calloused cushions and also
inspect between the toes. It is
surprising how easily a little
pebble can become wedged be
tween a dog’s toes, causing in
flammation and possibly in
fection if not removed. At first
the animal may not show any
sign of lameness from a pebble
or thorn, and that is why it is
advisable to look at the con
dition of his feet regularly in or
der to prevent infection from de
veloping due to a cut or piece
; of foreign matter that might be
| lodged in one of the pads or be
tween the toes.

DOG ASTROLOGER
Do you know the exact date
and hour of your dog's birth?
It isn’t very important unless
you chance to visit an astrolo
ger who lives in White Plains,
New York. For the sum of $1
you can obtain from this man
a horoscope for your pet. It is
reported that his business of
forecasting canine fortunes is
flourishing.

CANINE HEART TROUBLE
A reader asks if dogs ever suf
fer from heart trouble and, if
so, the kind of treatment that
ought to be administered. Heart
disease is sometimes discovered
in your dogs, but nearly always
it is a disease peculiar only to
old dogs. The symptoms are pal
pitation, rapid breathing and
paroxysms of coughing; the dog
tires easily when climbinb up
stairs or refuses to climb them
at all.
A dog suffering with cardiac
trouble should be under the care
and direction of a vetrinarian.
While the animal cannot be com
pletely cured, if you follow au
thorized medical instructions
you will find that he will im

GO TO CHURCH
In Sango, Japan, Kakutaro
Yauchi has taught his dog to ob
serve a peculiar religious habit.
Every morning at 4 o’clock a
drum is beaten at the local vil
lage shrine. On hearing the
drum, Yauchi’s three-year - old
dog runs to the shrine and bows
before it.
In the Far East dogs are fre
quently taken by their owners to
church or other religious meet
ings. In fact many devout peo
ple make a point of trying to in
still their faith into their pets’
conscience by having them at
tend a daily service.
Question: How many dog
cemeteries are there in the Unit
ed States?—G. T.
Answer: There are close to
fifty and they are scattered all
over the country. Many are
beautifully landscaped and well
[taken care of.
Question: We have had many
arguments as to which is the
best type of collar for a dog—a
wide or narrow one. Which do
you favor?—R. L. N.
Answer: A narrow collar is
better.
Question: How long does it
take for food to pass through the
digestive system of a dog?—
J. B.
Answer: Approximately, sev
enteen hours in an adult dog.
In puppies the length of time is
less.
