Dangers of Dogs
CHICAGO, (#>— H o t weather
brings out the worst in a dog, and
Postmaster Carl A. Schroeder
Friday warned mail carriers in
his bailiwick “Don’t trust any
of them.”
“Uniforms, uniform caps, and
men carrying bags are of a spe
cial attraction to dogs,” Schroeder
cautioned. Especially not to be
trusted are the “sleeper” and the
"sneaker” types.
The first “appears to be sleep
ing and doesn’t pay any attention
to you while you are placing let
ters in the mail box. After you
have walked down the stairs and
have forgotten all about the dog,
the dog streaks down like a flash
and bites you,” Schroeder said.
“The worst type,” he said in a
staff circular, is the “sneaker.”
He creeps up behind the mailman,
gives no warning, and strikes si
lently and swiftly.
Schroeder also listed the house
dog (usually vicious'; the double
crosser (you trust him, but find
you shouldn’t have when your
back is turned); the so-called
friendly dog (he’s friendly only
to other dogs), and the plain and
simple vicious brute.
In dealing with this last charac
ter, a mail carrier should never
turn his back, should back away
slowly, place his hands on his j
chest and talk confidentially. This j
will puzzle the dog, Schroeder1
said.
Last year. 106 mail carriers
were bitten in Chicago.
BUSH PILOTS
MAY BENEFIT
FROM C.A.B. PLAN
WASHINGTON. UPi—A Civil
Aeronautics Board examiner to
day recommended a readjustment
of existing airline service in i
Alaska.
Examiner Herbert K. Bryan
found that the irregular route
authorization of airlines serving
Alaska should be eliminated and
the operating scope of pilot-own
ers should be broadened to pro
vide better service.
His finding came after a lengthy
CAB study of existing service and
routes.
Bryan recommended that:
1. Pan American’s passenger
service between Fairbanks and
Bethel via intermediate points
should be discontinued.
2. Kodiak Airways and Western
Alaska Airlines be permitted to
carry passengers and mail be
tween various Alaska points.
3. The certificate of Inlet Air
ways be broadened to serve more
points.
