Houn’ Dawg Freed
From Coon’s Trap
OWASSO, Okla., W — Little
Richard, the spirited hound dog
freed Wednesday from a rocky
“tomb” six days after being lured
there by a smart coon, has had
other difficulties with the wily
critters.
In the future, 21/2-year-old
Little Richard probably would go
into the same rocky crevice which
had trapped him, his owner, Larry
Wilson, said.
Little Richard was under the
care of Dr. John Collins, a vet
erinarian in nearby Tulsa, today.
Collins said he had “every chance
in the world” to pull through.
The hound was freed after Wil
son and 200 volunteers chipped
away at limestone and subborn
granite in a persistent vigil.
Dynamite charges and jack
hammers were used to widen the
crevice inch by inch. An air ham
mer removed the last boulder and
Little Richard crawled feebly into
his master’s arms, whining affec
tionately.
“I think that coon knew exactly
where he was going when he ran
from Little Richard,” said Wilson.
That coon probably got away from
a lot of dogs there.”

Spiritual Truths
Contributed By
Nome Gospel Home
A retired Marine really made
his state motto come true. He was
working at a beach amusement
park in Santa Cruz last summer
when a friend gave him a booklet
entitled “Gems of Knowledge.” On
one of the pages it stated that
the Bible contains 3,566,480 let
ters, 773,746 words and 31,173
verses; and the world “Lord” oc
curs 1,855 times. “I’m from Mis
souri, you’ll have to show me,” he
said, and so he obtained a Bible
and compared figures. “It took me
ten months to do it,” he told his
friend recently. “That little book
you gave me h a d accurate
figures.”
This little booklet about the
Bible was found to be accurate,
and so how much more is the very
Book itself. With the Psalmist we
can say that the words of the
Lord “are true and righteous al
together. More to be desired are
they than gold, yea, than much
fine gold; sweeter also than honey
and- the honeycomb.” (Psalm
19. 9, 10.)
Bay State Abandons
Attempt to Restore
Chinook to Its Streams
BOSTON, (JPl — Restoring a
fishery, once it has been lost, may
prove to be a losing proposition.
Massachusetts imported Chinook
salmon eggs in great numbers from
the Pacific Coast in an attempt to
restore what once had been a great
game fish in the Bay State.
Young salmon were hatched
and reared to fingerling size in a
state hatchery and released in
rivers. The venture had to be
given up.
Today, says Ralph Bitzer, chief
fish culturist, “we know that just
raising and releasing fish will not
bring back their natural repro
duction if waters themselves are
not suitable.”

Sewage Treatment Grants
Lost to Alaskan Cities
JUNEAU — Alaska’s share in
federal construction grants for
sewage treatment plants, amount
ing to over $1,250,000 during the
last three years, has been allowed
to lapse because no communities
have installed such plants, . Dr.
Harry V. Gibson, Commissioner
of Health, said this week.
He explained that under provi
sions of U. S. Public Law 660, a
community or public utilities dis
trict wishing to install sewage
treatment works may receive a
federal construction grant of up
to 30 per cent of the cost of the
project or $250,000, whichever is
less. A project must include at
least primary treatment to qualify
for the grants, he said, and if the
grants are not used in Alaska the
funds are re-allocated to other
states.
It is anticipated that Fairbanks
will apply for a construction grant
to build a treatment plant in 1060
61, Dr. Gibson said.
