♦ \ V A \ I — I 't /' Pace St* *- THE CUNTON CHRONICLE Thursday, October 20, 1949 Harry Miller Rated as Best Friend of Dog A kennel owner in Nova Scotia Imported a valuable boxer from England, only _to have her die and orphan her litter of pups. The own er began feeding the pups from a bcttle, with an emergency formula prescribed by a pediatrician. Un fortunately there is a vast differ ence between human and, canine babies. The pups grew weaker in stead of stronger, and one morning one of them was found dead. The kennel owner seht off a fran tic cablegram, By noon he had an answer suggesting a new formula The rest of the pups, put on the new diet, picked up like magic and soon were romping around as healthy puppies should. The cablegram had gone to Har ry Miller, an intent, professorial man of 4? who runs the Gaines dog research center at 250 Park avenue in New York City. Such urgent re quests for tielp are nothing new to Miller, and he had the information right at his finger tips. It was just another routine victory for the man who has becorpe known as the dog's I* st friend, ecorae b 1 L Ina* W Once' Was Hobby For a long time Harry Miller’s •elf-dedication to the dog was a hoo- by But in 1943 he persuaded a manufacturer of prepared dog foods to set up the Gaines dog research center. The center is believed to be the only organization in the world actively collecting, evaluating and passing along to breeders, veter inarians and owners every known worthwhile fact concerning the health and well-being of dogs. It mak* s no attempt to sell anything except possibly the idea that the deg is superior to any other four legged animal in the history of man- k.nd. The arrangement works fine both ways. The more dogs there are and the longer they live, the more dog food will be sold. Meanwhile, Miller can dedicate himself to the dog 24 hours a day and still make a living. Packed away in Miller’s unfail ing memory and in the 1,000 books cf his library—one of the most ex tensive cn the subject of dogs—are the answers to just about every question a dog owner could ask. And nothing makes Miller nappier than to share this knowledge with the world. Unusual Problem A schoolteacher sent in an un usual problem—she had taught her dog to wake her in the morning, only to discover that the dog couid not be set back like an alarm clock when she wanted to sleep late on week ends Whet could she do? This had M:.ier stumped for awhile, but he finally came up with a successful solution. "When the mg c^mes to you on Saturday or Sand ay," he wrote, "simply push t m away and go back to sleep. S on he will realize that you aren't in the mood for mm and that there are certain days on which you do r.ot wish to be disturbed.” It worked.

Ex-Soldier T bought Dead for Five Years Returns to New York eggs NEW YORK.—First army head quarters reported a former missing soldier, officially dead for five years, w’alked into an army recruit ing station in New York and asked about his status. Col. William B. Force said a fingerprint test agreed with the men's identification of himself as Anthony V. Martino. Waterbury, Conn., where his wife and two children still live. Martino was listed as missing in combat in France, in 1944, and then was presumed dead. Force said Martino walked into a recruiting station and said he re called being sent to a hospital and then a replacement depot in France in the summer of 1944.

Prather-Simpson Furniture Co Norge Dealer for 15 Years Last Hiddtn Art Treasures Brought to Light in London LONDON.—The last of the art treasures Britain hid for safety during the war has come back to light. The Flgin Marbles, a collec tion of intricately carved marble slabs used to decorate the Par- thenen in Athens 320 centuries ago. have been returned to the British museum. Curators hope to have them ratified and back on public display by late sum- rr.er. The marbles were brought to England by the Earl of Elgin, onetime British ambassador to Turkey, and sold to the British for 26,000 pounds ($144,000) in 1616. When German bombers be gan raiding London and there was threat of invasion, the mar ble slabs were hauled into an abandoned subway, far below the city’s busy Strand and Pic cadilly. It took nearly two years to get them all moved into the hiding place, and almost that long to take them out. The marbles were put into spe- c’ally constructed storage crates, designed to hide and protect them. The crates were fitted with wheels to make them mo bile. The heaviest of the slabs weighs three tons.
