Let's Talk About
BY KATHY SHIELDS
(Editor’s Note: This is the first in a
series of columns about pet care, written
by Kathy Shields, owner of Clip and Snip
Pet Shop in Clinton.)
If you have recently added or
are thinking of adding a puppy to
your family, you have in store for
you an experience of which none
can compare. The days ahead
for you and your puppy will be
filled with pleasure, excitement,
joy upon joy, and, none-the-less,
a few problems.
To the children and father, the
new pup will be a bundle of joy,
but good ole mom soon finds
that this so called bundle of joy
has a few bad habits that must be
dealt with in the proper manner.
The main problem that mom
discovers is housebreaking. The
first thing to remember is that
the puppy is in a strange place
with strange people, people who
love him but are, none-the-less,
strange to him. This strangeness
will cause the pup to be fright
ened and nervous so lie cannot be
expected to behave perfectly un
til he has become accustomed to
you and his new home.
When you first acquire your
pup, set aside a warm and quiet
place that can become his own.
Confine him to this area, giving
him room to jump about and play.
Place a few papers in this area
so that he may relieve himself
if the need arises. Remove him
from this area only to play with,
and win his confidence. In about
a week he will have learned that
the place you have set aside for
him belongs to him and you can
remove the barriers, but do not
let him roam at will throughout
the house.
At this point, he should have
become accustomed to his name
and readily come to you when
called. You should now begin to
set a routine pattern for your
pup. Take him out when he first
wakes, being careful on cold days
that he is comfortably warm. Re
turn him to his bed and reward
him. He should also be taken out
after he eats. The trouble spots
will be when he first wakes and
after he eats. While still very
young, he should also be taken
out several other times during
the day. The routine must be set
before the pup can follow.
As your pup gets older he will
be able to go for longer inter
vals without the need to be taken
out, and soon you will find that
he is learning his lesson. One
day when you notice his unusual
pacing, or whining at the door or
nips at your heels, you realize
this is merely a message to you.
One that you learn to understand
as you do a child’s whims.
Keep in mind that accidents
will happen and don’t hesitate to
scold and show your displeasure.
Nothing cuts down a puppy’s ego
like the harsh tone of your voice,
but before being too harsh ask
yourself if you did your part in
trying to prevent the accident
If you do your part in teach
ing, and helping the pup to re
member his lessons, you will
find that you have a well behaved
pet that has, believe it or not,
become good ole mom’s bundle
of joy, too.
How To Watch Eclipse
On March 7
Indirect Projection yiewinq of the Solar Eclipse. Saturday afternoon. March 7. 1970
fiamaae to the, eves can occur at anv time from looking at the sun, not just during an
eclipse. Safe methods you can improvise to view the eclipse are as follows:
(1) A "pinhole camera" is made by punching a clean hole in the end of a shoebox S
with a pin. Cover the opposite end of the shoebox with white paper. Then f
point the pinhole toward the sun so that the rays move through the pin- *
hole and projeci a clearly defined image of the eclipse on the white A
paper. (2) Another version of the "pinhole camera" is to use two ^ S
pieces of cardboard. The piece with the pinhole can be held on
the shoulder of a person facing away from the sun and the
eclipse image will be projected on a piece of white card- c
board held before the person. (3) Sunscope: See large
drawing and instructions below.
■Aluminum foil covering square hole
WITH A PINHOLE IN CENTER OF FOIL
Round hole in bottom for slipping
'sunscope" over the head
White paper taped to inside end
MOW TO HAKE AND USE A "SUNSCOPE” FOR VIEWING AN ECLIPSE OF THE SUN: 1. Fasten a piece of white
p»p*r over the Inside of one of the saall ends of an oblong bo*, about l 1 * 2' * 3' 2. Cut a
one-incn-squa re hole in the opposite small end and cover the hole with aluminum foil. 3, Make a
pinhole in the foil. 4, Cut a hole somewhat larger than your head In the bottom of the box, so
that you can slip the bo* over your head. S, Seal all light leaks with black tape or paper. 6,
To use the “sunscope" for viewing, stand with your back to the sun, the bo* over your head, and
look at the image projected through the pinhole onto the white paper. 7, Do not look at the sun
directly or through the pinno1e --Look at the image projected on the white paper.

BY SALLY SHAW
DEAR SALLY: When I informed
my parents that I had become en
gaged to the young man I’ve been
going with for more than a year,
my mother raised strong objec
tions. Her objections are based
on the silly fact that he didn’t
go to college, while I did. She
says she and my father can’t put
an engagement announcement in
the newspaper, because it would
look “utterly incongruous" for the
news item to state that I am a
graduate of such-and-such col
lege, while he did not attend
any. And she says he is my
“intellectual inferior. "This is not
so, because he happens to have
been intellectually-gifted enough
to have advanced himself to a very
fine executive position in his
company. And most important of
all, he and I are completely and
deeply in love. So . . . how about
this? NINA.
DEAR NINA: So . . . you go
right ahead with your marriage
plans. 1 he fact that you two are
“completely and deeply in love"
is all that matters. Your mo-

ther’s concern over the news
paper announcement is what is
really “incongruous.” I have yet
to see an announcement stating,
“Mary Smith attended such-and-
such college, while her fiance
did not go to college.” In cases
like this, references to the man’s
education are simply omitted.
DEAR SALLY: Don’t you think
a man should pitch in and help
his wife with some of the house
hold chores when he’s home from
work in the evening . . . dish
washing, vacuuming, dust, laun
dry, and the like? My husband
flatly refuses on the grounds that
such things are entirely a wife’s
responsibility. CYNTHIA. *
DEAR CYNTHIA: Depends. If
it happens that you, too, are
employed during the day, the
housework should in all fairness
be a cooperative deal. But if
you are not, then I agree with
your husband . . .the housework
is your responsibility.
DEAR SALLY: I’m a girl of 16
with a problem revolving around
a certain extremely shy boy in
ray class at school. I’m very
much interested in promoting
some sort of friendship with him.
And I’m sure he would like to do
something about this, too, but is
too painfully shy to make any
move. I’ve caught him any num
ber of times gazing at me, but
when I looked at him he’d turn
his head away in an embarrassed
manner. Finally, though, I man
aged to smile at him before he
could look away, and he smiled
back. Now at least we’re ex
changing smiles ... but that’s
all. Is there anything else I can
do, without appearing too bold
or aggressive? FRUSTRATED.
DEAR FRUSTRATED: Well,
the exchange of smiles is a good
start It would be perfectly all
right and logical now for you to
intercept him in the corridor
sometime (in a casual manner, of
course) and start a little con
versation with him . . . about tie
weather, school activities, etc.
This just might impress him with
your friendliness and encourage
him to carry on to better things.
Good luck.
NOTE TO JOE: I don’t blame
your wife for objecting to your
reference to her as “THE wife.*
This is in the worst of taste!
Suppose she began referring to
YOU as “THE husband.* Bet
you wouldn't like that Makes you
sound like a useless, inanimate
object!

Food Stamp
Program Enlarged
The food stamp program now
offers more food assistance to
low-income families than ever
because of important changes that
have lowered the amount each
family pays for its coupons and
increased the amount of free or
“bonus" coupons families re
ceive.
Now, each family taking part
in the program will get enough
food coupons to pay for the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s
“economy diet, "adjusted to allow
for increases in the level of re
tail food prices.
For a family of four, this will
amount to $106--compared with a
previous minimum of $58.
Every family in the program
will get a stamp bonus equal to
or larger than the bonus it got
under the old scale, according to
Mrs. Alice Davidson, Director of
Laurens County Department of
Public Welfare.

New Camaro.
Feb. 26 th.
We've never announced a car at this time before.
But then nobody^ ever announced a car like this before.
i.!A
If it were an ordinary sportster, we’d have intro
duced it at the ordinary time.
Instead, we took the time to build a whole new
Camaro.
We started with a sleek new shape and a low road-
hugging stance.
And added more hood. A faster fastback. Wider
doors. And new deeply contoured bucket seats.
The instrument panel wraps around you. With
enough dials to make you think you’re piloting a 747.
There are four transmissions. And six power plants
up to the Turbo-Jet 396 V8 that you can order.
Pick the one that best suits your driving. Then go
pick on an open road.
And make it one with plenty of twisting turns.
Because Camaro has a remarkable new suspension.
And standard front disc brakes for a leech-like grip
on the road.
New Camaro. The Super Hugger.
Other sportsters always feared it might
come to this.
And they were right. Only their tim
ing was wrong.
Putting you first, keeps us first.
