Dickhut, now of Bakersfield, first installed! the pumps back in 1918.

Proud of his post, the watchdog abandoned the free and easy way of life in city and country-. side and snarled bare-toothed warning to anyone who would dare! trespass across the border.

This was a new menace for the Bulgarians. But they reasoned: for every weapon, there's a defense. So. they recruited a handsome female dog and turned her loose on the border. Sad to relate, love triumphed over loyalty.

The handsome Yugoslav watchdog, unmindful of the cold war, padded his way across the border to woo the paw of the beautiful Bulgarian. Instead of rapture, the handsome Yugoslay watchdog found capture on the other side of the border. Bulgarian guards seized him: while he was a courting. stuffed beneath his collar of Anti- Tito propaganda which they had been attempting vainly sneak across the frontier. Then they sent him packing homeward.

A reluctant courier, a crestfallen lover, he reported back to his post still carrying the propaganda; Burned up by the ruse, the Yugoslav border guards promptly burned up the propaganda. And their watchdog is in the doghouse now.
