Mr. Garinger also has a few hom-
ing pigeons, though not as many
as before the war. There used to
be a bit of rivaly between Mr. Gar-
inger and his son Wilson, now at
an Air Corps rest camp in Rome,
as to which one had the best birds.

now is going to concentrate on
dogs, keeping the pigeons for Wil-
son when he comes home.
Joy, a Welsh terrier from the
Robinson Kennels, lives up to her
name by providing plenty of mer-
riment for Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Wheaton Lee. Definitely a mem-
ber of the family, she has her own
bed in the kitchen. Joy has on:
bad habit, going out into the road
to smell the tire tracks after a
car has passed.
Mr. and Mrs. William Powell of
Shrine View have three reasons
for joining the Kennel Club— Pep-
per, Jackie and Mabel. As his
name indicates, the two and a half
year old Welsh terrier from the
Robinson kennels is full/of pep aad
personality. He’s quite a watch-
dog and loves to go riding in the
car. The “Old Man of the Moun-
tain”, Jackie, is an eleven-year-
old black and white cocker. He and
Pepper get along together very well
but Jackie, by an occasional nip
makes Pepper remember to respect
his elders. Mabel, Mr. Powell's
English setter, never comes in the
house; she is kept just for hunting.
Dottie, Ralph Hallock’s black and
white cocker spaniel, isn’t inter-
ested in the dog show. She knows
that her owners think she is! a
prize-winner as a house pet. She
isn’t a pup anymore—they got her
from the Payne kennels six years
ago—but she still-has plenty of, life.
There are other members, with
other dogs. Each one says, “Oh,
there's nothing you could write
about our dog.” But each pet has
something special. about it which
makes it The Dog to its family.

Waste Paper Is
Converted Into
Suits Of Armor
Residents of Luzerne county can
supply enough waste paper for
1,471,726 “suits of armor” for 105
mm. shells, if they will buckle
down and save an average of 10
pounds of newspapers, wrapping
paper and boxes a month. The
105’s are the big ones that have
been helping American forces in
their advance toward Berlin and
Tokyo.
Last year Americans saved 106%
pounds of waste paper per capita,
or enough for about 35 containers
each for the 105 mm. shells.
For each ammunition container
or “paper suit or armor’ used to
protect the shells from salt water,
dents, nicks and corrosive dirt, ap-
proximately three pounds of waste
paper are required. Ammunition
container board, one of the prin-
cipal materials used in making the
“suits of armor’, is made from
mixed paper and old corrugater
boxes. Another material used is
called “tube and ean stock,” which
is made from all types of waste
paper.
