Michigan Lady Legislator
Decries State Law As
Unfair To Dogs
LANSING, Mich., UP — Dogs
get a better break in Russia than
in Michigan, says a woman legis
lator. Mrs. Lucille McCollough, a
Democrat and dog owner from
Dearborn assailed Michigan’s dog
law as “the most barbaric in the
United States of America.”
“People who complain about
the Russians who sent up the dog
in Sputnik should look at what
can happen to them right here
in Michigan,” she told the House
Agriculture Committee. “Here
we have a law that lets people go
out and shoot a dog for no rea
son at all.”
The law now permits a land
owner outside a city to shoot a
trespassing dog on sight. A pro
posed amendment would permit
farmers and others to kill a dog
only if it is molesting livestock
or poultry.

Truman Sells Part Of
Original Farmstead To
Suburban Development
KANSAS CITY, UP) — The old
Truman farmstead at Grandview,
on the south edge of Kansas City,
is about to disappear into sub
urban development.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. Tru
man sold 220 acres yesterday to
a Kansas City hotel man who has
plans for a shopping center, 500
to 600 homes and some garden
type apartment buildings.
The orginal farm was about 600
acres and had been in the Tru
man family since 1867. Only two
20-acre tracts are left. One is
owned by J. Vivian Truman, the
former President’s brother, and
his home is there. The other is
alongside a small industrial plant
now under construction.
The Truman’s gave permission
to use the name “Truman Vil
lage” for the development.
The amount of money involved
in the transaction was not dis
closed.

MEDICAL IQ?
____
How much do you know about your body, about things that make
you sick? How about medicine that makes you well? Here’s a quick
test of your medical I.Q. 9 or 10 correct answers: Excellent; 7 or 8
correct: Average; Under 7: Check your pulse.
1 Most disease germs are bacteria, which scientists believe to be
one-celled plants. One-celled animals (such as the malaria germ)
are called:
□ Protista □ Proteins □ Protozoa □ Prolegomena
2.. Morphine is one of the oldest anesthetics still in use. The natural
drug is obtained from:
