STATE MEN MAKE
CRUSADE AGAINST
UNLICENSED DOGS
Investigations in County Result
in Many Arrests; Violators
¢ Assessed Fines.
Representatives of the Bureau OI
of Animal Industry, Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agricultural, working un-
der the supervision of Field Agent A.
C. Ackerman, of Altoona, are now
busily engaged in the south of Cam-
bria county in search of violators
the State Dog Law. As a result of th
investigations a number of presecutions
have already been made and fines ana
costs assessed against the owners of
unlicensed dogs and dogs not prope
tagged. Field Agent Ackerman stat
that the crusade against violators Of
the dog law will continue for several
days in hope of rounding up the ma-
jority of violators.
The State agents in one atfernoon
made 35 arrests in Johnstown and each
violator of the dog law paid a fine and
costs. Field Agent Ackerman has esti-
mated that there are in the neighbor-
hood of 3,000 dogs in the city without
a license tag and not properly tagged.
A majority of the dogs picked up
during the campaign are between the
age of six months and one year, Mr.
Ackerman stated, and it is required by
law that a dog six months old or over
must be licensed. In some instance
the investigator found violations of
owners using a license issued for a
male dog on a female dog. There are
\
also some violations by dog owners for
use of tags issued for other dogs and
also tags issued to other persons.
Investigations have also been con-
ducted by the State agents in different
sections of Cambria county as to stock
damage claims, due to dogs having
killed sheep, turkeys and chickens. A
large sum of money has been paid out
by the State in settlement of these
damage claims.
It is the aim of the Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry to get dog Owners tw
have their dogs licensed and properly
tagged as a means of identification, s0
that if a dog is killed while destroying
livestock that identification is easily
obtained. Proper identification of the
destructive dog would mean a big sav-
ing to the State, as the owner of the
og would be required to make settle-
ment of any damage claim.
The State department is also advo-
cating better bred dogs and by saving
of dramage claims this money could b
applied to dog shows and field tr 5
The bureau also endeavors to
whatever aid to hunters in case of a
hunting dog being stolen or poisoned.
To date there are 13,162 dogs licen-
sed in Cambria County, Agent Acker-
man reported. During the past six
months a total of 600 prosecutions were
made against violators of the dog law
in this county. Violators not only must
pay a fine and a license fee for 1930,
but will be required to obtain a new
license for their dogs for 1931 before
January 15 next.

rs of the Carmelite nuns during the
ld season of Advent, together with
holy masses and holy communions daily
throughout the month of December,
may send their petitions to the Carmel.
Address the Rev. Mother Prioress,
Carmelite Monastery, Loretto.
It is anticipted that during this fer-
vent novena many new graces and
great blessings will be obtained from
heaven through the Infant Jesus and
the powerful intercession of the Little
Flower with his. During St. Therese’s
gious life, spent in the Carmel of
isieux, France, she had a very deep
and. tender devotion to the Child Jesus
whose name she sweetly bore, together
with that of the holy face. It is, there-
fore, with great confidence that her
sters in Christ anticipate that thw»
ming novena will be a wonderful
spiritual success nl obtaining favors
desired for the souls in the world who
depend upon the cloistered nuns to
make up to the Infant Jesus for the
time they are unable to spend with
him in pleading for their spiritual and
tempora Ineeds because of their busy
lives.
Sunday afternoons at 4 o'clock public
devotions in honor of the Little Flower
are held in the Carmelite chapel, fol-
lowed by Benediction of the Most
Jlessed Sacrament and the veneration
of the first-class relic of St. Therese.
The priest also gives a special blessing
to babies and little children.

Local Chevrolet
Dealer Optimistic
Albert K. Christoff Monday Attended
Enthusiastic Dealer Meeting
in Pittsburgh,
Chevrolet will build and sell a mil-
lion cars in 1931, according to Albert
K. Christoff, Patton, Pa. Chevrolet
Deler, on his return home from Pitts-
|
burg, where Monday, with 600 other
dealers in this area, he attended one
of the 50 winter dealer meetings being
| conducted from coast to coast by the
Chevrolet Motor Company. On
basis, Mr. Christoff declared Chevrolet
sales in this section would be
than 25% greater than in 1930.
Mr. Christoff's statement was based
on studies of current conditions and
surveys of the future made by the
| Chevrolet Motor Company and an-
nounced at the Pittsburgh meeting by
W. E. Holler, Assisted General Sales
Manager of the Company, who directed
the meeting.
| “The studies and surveys show that
| business is improving and 1931 promises
| to be one of the best years we ever
| had”, Mr. Christoff said, “Business is
coming back, slowly but inevitably.
| Money is plentiful at cheap rates. Sav-
Tings deposits are ahead of last year.
Inventories in ‘all Inies are at rock
bottom and mills, factories and whole-
salers report orders in increasing
volume.

| one of the most stable in the industry.

are at bottom. In the first months this

Mr. Christoff reported greater enthu-
siasm among dealers of this area who

Try This Tonight
What do you do when a sluggish sys-
tem shows the bowels need help? The
best thing yet discovered for this is
still a little candy Cascaret. Take one
tonight if liver and bowels aren't
functioning as they ought. See how
quickly bad breath, coated tongue or
a bilious, headachy condition is
cleared up. No griping or discomfort
from Cascarets. The quick, pleasant
relief they always bring constipation
sufferers is lasting. For Cascarets are
made from cascara which doctors
say actually strengthens bowel muscles.
So you can take Cascarets as often
as needed. 20 million boxes used
yearly proves their merit.
