AUSTIN, Aug. 31.—(UP)—Texas
is ready to swing into drafting its
quota of the United States defense
army as quickly as congress passes
the conscription bill.
Draft boards of three members
each have been selected in each
of the 254 counties Acceptances of
the tentative appointments already
have been received from most of
the appointees.
Registration through the local
election officials already has been

"Mickey Came Home"
Mickey was lost but he came
home! The story of this dog has
many twins: a lost pet grief, its
recovery and jov It is the highest
concept of drama pathos, master-
love and sacrifice
Dogs fit into men’s lives be-
cause they round off the corners
They never make demands but
they are always willing to obey
them They never suffer discour-
agement; quite the opposite—they
go on and on and on They are
the best confidents in the world
they listen, seem to understand
and react exactly as our mood is
conveyed to them
Dogs are eyes for the blind and
ears fot the hard of hearing. Many
people owe their lives to • dogs
keen sense of imminent danger.
Stories of their bravery sre legion
| Dogs sre great teachers! They
teach us tolerance responsibility
and sacrifice They demand so Ill-
tie for all they give in return It
is my belief that the few minutes
of care they require is repaid by
hours and hours of loyalty, humble
devotion and personal responsibil-
ity for your safety
Mickey was glad to get home
but for his owners he filled an un-
fathomable void. |
