Beau Cele His Show Clip
MARGARET ROBINSON PATTERNS POODLES
If Margaret Robinson, Country Kennels, had to confine her professional
activities to one field, she’d select poodle clipping as her specialty.
She
says that she once considered poodles too bizarre a breed for her taste,
but has changed her mind since coming into personal contact with four
of them.
Gay little dogs, and highly intelli-
gent, it is no accident that trained-
dog acts always include poodles,
standard size or miniature. Poodles
are in the luxury class, fabulously
expensive.
The miniature white poodles in
the picture are Mimi and Beau,
a little over a year old, and just
emerging from puppyhood. They
belong to Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Milner-Gibson, of Glen Summit,
Virginia, and Scotland, and they
have been spending the summer
at the kennels as star boarders.
When they are all dressed up, they
wear red kid collars and leashes.
Last week they played a brief
return engagement, and in Novem-
ber Mimi will be back for her first
blessed event. Baby miniature
poodles, says Peg, look like nothing
human or even canine, but they
quickly become plump little balls
of fur.
Poodles keep their puppy clip
until they are a year old, woolly
all over. For show purposes they
are intricately patterned in rosettes
and ruff, a painstaking job which
takes all day and must be repeated
once a month for best results.
Gabby, Julius Long Stern’s aristo-
cratic black standard poodle, comes
to the Country Kennel beauty par-
lor for his monthly clip. Mrs.
Robinson ‘says he reminds her of a
man luxuriating in a barber chair,
one who rouses briefly as each hot
towel is laid in place, dropping off
to sleep between disturbances.
Gabby sleeps through the operation,
needing to be nudged when he
must turn over to have the other
side clipped.
Another steady customer is
Senator Newell T. Wood's miniature
silver poodle.
In dog parlance, it's pluck for a
terrier, trim for a cocker, clip for
a poodle. Peg knows how to do
them all, and turn out a dog in
tip-top condition for a kennel show.
Sporting dogs all get their whiskers
trimmed and their nails clipped.
This category includes St. Bernard,
Dachshunds, and Beagles. Kerry
blues, wire-haired terriers, Bedling-
tons, miniature schnauzers, Scottish
terriers and airedales, all go
through her practiced hands.
There will be shampooing and
grooming facilities in the new addi-
tion as soon as arrangements are
completed. At present the groom-
‘ng is done in the house base-
ment, not too satisfactory an ar-
rangement. Bathing a St. Bernard
presents a problem. He needs two
laundry tubs, one fore and one aft.
Rotenone takes care of fleas, if
any.
The kennel runs explode in ex-
cited barks when a strange car
drives up, but the flurry is soon
over and the boarders settle down
again. As the visitor passes from
pen to pen, eager little muzzles
press against the wire enclosure,
and ecstatic tails wag an invita-
tion to stop and play.

Fine Watch Repairing A Specially
Boarded 2,000 Dogs
Each dog has a pen and run of
his own except in the case of a
litter of pups such as the five little
Welsh terriers, or when a patron
brings two or three dogs who have
always lived and played together,
in which instance separation would
be cruel. As high as 54 dogs can
be accommodated at one time. In
the seven years that the kennels
have been open for boarding, there
have been 2,000 dog visitors.
If present plans are carried out,
folks will be able to park their
pussy-cats too. Mr. and Mrs. Tom
Robinson expect to put up a steel
brig for fancy felines in the new
addition, when they expand their
facilities for dog boarders.
“A tour of the kennels showed
everything from a huge St. Bernard
with a lolling tongue to a low-slung
model of lady dachshund, smooth
and silky and with melting eyes.
There was a little blind dog, Rob-
bie, six years old, who injured his
head a year ago in a rough and
tumble game and can no longer
be shown. Little Colonel, a Welsh
terrier of the Robinson strain, only
one year old, already has seven
points toward Champion. Tina, his
mother, and Mitzi, twelve years old
and empress dowager, have the
run of the house and grounds.
Pens and runways are immacu-
late, with fresh water always at
hand in shining white pans. Dogs
are fed inside in their stalls to
eliminate any discussion of their
food. Dogs which have been picky
eaters at home soon become accus-
tomed to their basic rations at
the kennels. Finding that there
are no table scraps and no candy,
they settle down to a more whole-
some diet, and the sound of crunch-
ing in neighboring stalls whets
their appetites.
Peg thinks it is important to
make a dog feel at home from the
beginning, so she encourages own-
ers to bring with them any special
toy or possession that a dog en-
joys. Once, she said, a patron left
a lovely down pillow to keep her
two pampered darlings company,
and in less time than it takes to
tell it, the place was knee deep
in feathers. But a little blanket
or even a special bed, or maybe a
rubber toy, helps a boarder to get
over the hump of being in a strange
place.
Frequently a dog, brought back
for a second or a third visit, will
prance into the kennel and select
himself a stall in the manner of
a hotel guest looking over the
rooms and passing approval.
Sometimes, Peg says, they strike
up friendships through the wire.
She remembers one elderly little
pair exchanging heart-throbs
through the fence, twenty-one year
old Branny who fell hopelessly in
love with his next door neighbor
Athy, a mere debutante of four-
teen, Branny was a wire-haired
terrier, Athy a miniature sch-
nauzer, so it could never be. They
had to take out their yearnings in
getting as close to the fence on
either side as prison bars would
permit.
Frequently the kennel entertains
expectant ladies. There are two
commodious whelping pens which |
have served as maternity wards for
cockers, Kerry blues, boxers, La-
brador retrievers, Bdelingtons, and
English setters as well as the house
specialty, Welsh terriers.
Might Have Been Veterinarians
Peg says. that if the accelerated
course at Cornell had not been can-
celled at just about the time she
and Tom were flipping a coin to
see which one should get a degree.
‘n veterinary medicine, one or the
other would have gone to school
again. Tom, she says, has a way
with dogs, and they all trust him
‘mplicitly. A veterinarian’s license
would broaden the scope of their
activities, but right now they have
all the work they can handle, and
both of them thoroughly enjoy it.
Mrs. Robinson never had a dog
until after she was married, when
she took over the Robinson family
| dog, Gyp. It was Gyp who provided .

Gets Medal In Japan
Corporal Theodore E. London,
RFD 1, was recently awarded the
Good Conduct Medal for exemplary
behavior, efficiency and fidelity.
Corporal London is presently per-
forming duty as mail clerk for the
instructors company of the Spe-
cialist School at Camp Eta Jima.
He arrived in Japan in March of
this year.
Camp Eta Jima is part of the
Southwestern Command which has
the mission of furnishing supplies
and services to the United Nation
troops in Korea and the Occupa-
tion Forces in Japan. Commanded
by Brig. Gen. Carter W. Clarke,
the command encompasses south-
ern Honshu Island and the islands
of Shikoku and Kyushu.
Single License Plate
For Cars Probable
Cars will be wearing only one
license plate next year if Governor
Fine approves legislation passed by
both houses to save steel.
The one plate issued by Penn-
sylvania State Department of Rev-
enue would be placed at the rear, as
it was during steel shortage of war
years.
a transfusion which saved the life
of another English setter, Rex, pass-
ing out from a gunshot wound.
Dr. Ernest Hoag did the trans-
fusion, and Rex lived to a ripe old
age.
Gyp herself had a first class |
obituary in the Dallas Post seven
years ago, with a picture of her-
self and an account of the trans-
fusion, then ancient history. Gyp
had fifty-six puppies in her six
litters, and was a grandmother
many times over.
Mrs. Robinson likes cats, too,
something rare in a dog lover.
“You'll probably find a cat asleep
on the bed”, she warned, as she
ushered us into the quaint little
farmhouse. Sure enough, there was
the cat, sound asleep in the middle
of the patchwork quilt on the guest-
room bed.
Another cat jumped up into our
lap and settled down to purr. We
petted it and rubbed Mitzi between
the ears.
We like cats and dogs ourselves,
and we think running a kennel
would be fun.

Lake Tries Successful
Experiment In lst Grade
Lake-Noxen Township Schools,
with a registration of 47 in first
grade at the Lake building, is try-
ing an experiment by way of handl-
ing an over-size class.
The original idea was to open the
Loyalville school building to ease
the pressure, but the stop-gap of
dividing the large first grade room
into two sections, with two teachers
in charge, has been such a success
that it is now a permanent ar-
rangement.
George Taylor, Supervising Prin-
cipal, recalling instruction at Mans-
field where classes have assistant
instructors, has applied the same
principal to Lake-Noxen.
Pauline Davis is head teacher,
assisted by Mrs. Violet Ruff, Beau-
mont, who taught at Noxen last
year. Miss Davis lays out the
plan of instruction, Mrs. Ruff
handles recreation and the me-
chanics of the room. She gives
special instruction to children who
seem a little younger than the main
class.
When first projected, the two
teachers felt that physical division
of the room by means of screens
or curtains might be helpful, but
