Some investments stop paying oft
when you redeem them. But with
U.S. Savings Bonds, you keep
getting benefits long after you
get back $4 for every $3 you
put in.
This happens because the funds
you invest in Savings Bonds do
even more than earn money for
you. They also help your country
defend freedom. While your in-
vestment is growing to bring you
a nice return in dollars and cents,
the government uses the money to
help build our national strength.
This means that even after you’ve
“cashed in”, you’ll continue to
reap the priceless benefits of Amer-
ican freedom and security. And
so will your children. And theirs.
Why not make this worthwhile
investment now? All it takes is a
trip to the Bond window at the
bank, or a visit with your payroll
clerk for automatic saving on the
Payroll Savings Plan.

As dogs go, Jasper wasn’t much
to look at. Just a little black and!
white short-haired terrier-type
pooch, the kind with more per-
sonality than looks.
But you can mention Jasper
over at the post office, and
grown men, if they talk about
him long enough, may wipe away
a couple of tears.
You see, they knew Jasper for
nearly fourteen years and Jasper
died last week.
He didn’t just die of old age.
He was still going strong, but
j somebody slipped him a dose of
i strychnine.
It’s not the usual thing for
postmen to like dogs, because too
many dogs have taken too many
bites on postmen’s legs, and many I
a postman has scrambled to get
, away from a snarling, barking
dog. |
But Jasper developed an early.

nothing he could do, that Jasper
had been poisoned with strych-
nine,” Allen explained.
Although Jasper remained
faithful to the walking postman,
he never did care much for the
Mailsters, the scooter type de-
livery vehicles which have vir-
tually replaced the walker on
many routes.
He could keep up with us, but
he just wouldn’t ride in one of
those Mailslters,” says Allen.
Jasper used to come in to the
main post office, at the end of
the run. But he came inside only
if invited, and he curled up on
a mail sack and kept out of the
way of mail sorters and postal
officials.
“We sure are missing old Jas-
per,” said one of the postmen.

cakes were nice people.
When the late R. L. Lawrence
was carrying a North Side route,
he got acquainted with Jasper,
who lived with the Grounds fam-
ily at 7 Hl Gardiner in Arlington.
Jasper and Lawrence became
friends right away, and when j
Jasper was still too little to make j
the rounds, Lawrence put him in •
the mail pouch and earned him
all over the North Side.
Jasper grew up, and every day, |
knowing that the route started
on West Main, near the police
station, Jasper would be there,
ready to make the rounds.
As he grew up, he learned that
not all dogs like postmen, so he
began to take up the postmen’s
battle.
When Lawrence retired, Thom-
as Allen took over the route, and
Jasper took up with Allen readi-
ly.
Every day, rain or shine, Jas-
per would be there, and he would
make the entire rounds.
“He seemed to know that it
was his duty toj be our friend,
to protects us against vicious
dogs,” Allen recalled this week.
“If a dog was too big to fight,
he would figure out a way to de-
tain him until we could get out
of range — he’d just get the big
dogs to chase him until we got
down the block, and then he
would run and rejoin us,” Allen
remembers.
Oscar Smith took over the
route from Allen, who now has a
■’owntown route, and Jasper, :
faithful to the end, began his :
protection service for Smith.
They had made their rounds
and were at the last stop on the :
afternoon run. 5

kicking. They rushed him to the j
vet, but the vet said there was '
“Blue and Gold Birthdays” was
the theme chosen by Mrs. James
W. Davis for the program she
presented to the weekly session
of Cub Scouts Den One last Fri-
day night. Not only does Febru-
ary mark the 55th Birthday of
the Boy Scouts of America, but
also numerous early scouters and
famous leaders were bom in this
month.
Each Scout present was truly
inspired to “do his best” by Mrs.
Davis’ colorful description of
America and her heroes.
Eight members answered roll
call, reciting the Cub Scout prom-
ise in unison. Mike Mahan pre-
sented the American flag, and
Ricky Ross led the Pledge of Al-
legience.
The boys worked on their “gad-
get boxes,” each boy choosing
his own method of decoration.
Guests present were Leon Hen-
derson, Mrs. Dale Sudderth, and
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Wauson.
Mrs. Edith Vinson and Mrs.
Evelyn Dixon were the den friendship with a postman, and

was adjourned until next week.
