Hiose of you who think1 to-
day's teen-agers are 100 per
cent bad should meet 16-year-
old Julie Bradley of San Di-
ego, Calif
Brown-haired with haiel
eyes, Julie at first glance
might seem like any othe'
modem teen-ager She Hkr
to wear jeans and she smili
a lot. She obviously is a happ,
girl and she has an uncom-
mon sense of courtesy for her
elders Perhaps her parents,
Mr and Mrs Paul W. Brad-
ley, both working parents,
have something to do with her
good traits.
One trait, however, stands
out more than any other and
it is the making of this story.
The trait is consideration
for others with a special feel
ing for animals. Hie expres-
sion of this wholesome aspect
of Julie's upbringing reached
somewhat of a zenith recent-
S&ie months ago the San
Diego Humane Society re-
ceived a complaint about cats
being set afire by incredibly
heartless youngsters. Even-
tually four teens - a brother,
sister and two naighhnrhnnrj
boys - were found. Tired of
watching TV, they decided it
would be fun to set the family
cat .on fire And, they did.
Their reasoning’ "Because
all our friends do it."
State Humane Officer
Wayne Hebert eventually
found the ca t-hiding under*

narian with second degree
burns over most of. his body.
Over a year's time the Hu-
mane Society Animal Shelter
puts to sleep over 30,000 cats,
out this case was a challenge
and it was decided to bring
the cat back to health, if pos-
sible

However, a proper new own-
er was found, with Julie's OK,
and Tiger now is in San Fran-
cisco. "Lsure miss him," she
said, "but we know this is a
good family; they had to
move up north from here."
But, why this great interest
in one poor cat1 "Qh, I've al-
ways been interested in ani-
mals," Julie said. "I work at
the Rose Canyon Animal Hos
pital after school as well as
Thursday, Saturday and Sun-
day at the Humane Society."
With all this interest in
four-legged animals, what
about boyfriends1 "Not much
time for that,” she said. “I'm
working on my career."
- The career, she hopes, will
find her going to a school of
veterinary medicine after
high school graduation in
1977. "I'm trying to keep up
my grades so I can get into
Davis i a University of Cali-
fornia campus with an excel-
lent veterinary medicine
course)," she said, "and I've
got ail A's and B's right
now."
Those academic A's and
B’s are fine, but most of us
would agree that as an exam-

Bradley is A plus all the _wa^
But, what new challenge is
there after her successful
nursing of Tiger1 "Oh," she
said, "we’ve got another

'Trapper' and he got a paw
stuck in a steel trap — but
he’ll be OK.”
You can bet he will, with

refreshing example of to-
day's teenagers.
