Town Hall sSteps Only Safe Place for a Tagless Dog Timmins council recently decided to ‘"clean up" on all the dogs in town that had no license tags for the casâ€" rent yvear. To this end it was decided to engage six or more dog catchers. Two of them were on the job this week and a quarter of a hundred dogs were picked up in a few hours, The dog catchers were busy all over town, and the ordinary canine without the year‘s license tag would sure feel that it was not a safe town to roam around unaccompanied. However, one of these genuina "pooches," without claim to any particular ancestry, found itself at the post office corner without ownâ€" er or friend in sight. The pooch apâ€" parently decided that it must at oncs secure some place where it would be safe. Accordingly it made a beeline for the municipal building. On the steps of the town hall it took a stand or a seat, and calimly sat up there for a solid hour unmolested. It may be that the dog catchers never dreamed of looking on the town hall steps for an unlicensed dog these days, or it may nave been that the dog catchers were too gallant to molest a lady, even though the catching of a lady dog means a dollar extra fee for them. in any event the little dog stayed on the town hall steps for a good hour and then apparently moved its tagless self to some less conspicuous place. With Dog Catchers on the Rampage Small "Pooch" Calmly Sat on Steps.

The need for the work of the Red Cross is greater now than ever before. The war is likeâ€" ly to continue for some time, but even if it does not, there will still be the greatest need for the Red Cross.

There are all the prisonersâ€"of â€" war in enemy hands. There are, moreâ€" over, the suffering people in freed terâ€" ritory. All these have only the Red Cross to look to for the necessary aid.
