A list will appear in each Wednesday's "Evening Press and Thursday's Press Democrat, with names of those who send in moves, together with the number of points they have at that time. 8. After the sixth move, I will give points to those who send in moves, which in my estimation would have been better than the one chosen, or just as good, by the majority.

Therefore it would be advisable for you to add a few notes explaining why you picked your move, xnis may earn you that point (after the sixth move). I will explain why I give the point and these notes should be of great interest to all players. These notes will appear Thursdays Evening Press and Friday's Press Democrat. 9.

Players came from yquh bog By JOAN SHAW In reply to the many requests for data on the McNab shepherd, here is the information direct from Mr. John D. McNab of San Fran Cisco. In the fall of 1885 Alexander McNab brought in his band of 3,000 sheep to the corrals. The original Shepherd dog that Mrs.

Alexander McNab had brought from Scotland in 1869 had died, and the family attempted to bring in the flock without the assistance of a collie. Just as they reached the corral gate a wether started for the mountains and in 20 minutes the entire flock had escaped into the hills. 1 That night the family held coun cil. It was decided that new shep herd dogs must be brought from Scotland or the sheep business abandoned. The next day Alexander McNab packed his grip and started for Scotland.

He went to the Grampian hills, in central Scotland, purchased two shepherd dogs, half brothers. The black and white elder dog he brought back with him to California, and left the other to have his training completed. The black and white, named Peter, traveled hi an emigrant train and hid beneath the passenger seats whenever the conductor entered the car. PETER was the greatest shepherd dog ever imported into California in the early days. His brother Fred, who was left in Scotland, had to be taken from the shepherd, who attempted to back out of the sale.

He came around by Cape Horn. Peter was a dog that worked either on the lead or behind. Fred, the half brother, was strictly a lead dog a playboy who led the flock, carrying a picket in his mouth. These two, breeding with selected females, berame the head of the famous McNab shepherd. The original stock as supported from time to time by importation from Scotland.

This importation became impossible during the war, but is about to be resumed. THE DISTINGUISHING feature of the true McNab is that he is black with a white spot on his nose or forehead and one or more white feet. There are also some black and tan. Peter, raised in the heather hills, was confused by the vast UGC1L2 9 3 warn mms Mln Uoi with nw cushion ONE application fit liko now i proper chawing, tool 3 tomforfi Try Dvnturzo.

On his initial journey, with a flock of 2,000 sheep, to one of the distance ranges, he became puzzled as to direction. He left the flock, ascended a high peak which commanded the whole re gion, viewed the rigfit of way, then came back and took the whole flock through unaided.

One of the McNab boys rode ahead to clear various flocks out of the way to prevent intermingl ing as the main flock was taken through a separate range. WHILE THE BOY was trying to clear the way, Peter left his flock, came forward, grasped the situation at a glance, drove the bands of sheep out of the way far down the mountain, then returned and took his flock of 2,000 sheep through to the ultimate range. He lived to a ripe old age, and had many descendants, but prob ably none as great as himself. QUESTIONS Mrs. J.

NO HOME IS SAFE FROM TERMITE ATTACK AND DAMAGE PHONE 3406-W For Termite Control passengers during june ana for August of 1948. i ml A NEW service for pilots was started at the field during the past week when velocity and direction al as well as altimeter and barometric pressure instruments were removed from the old army radio tower to the Southwest office in the administration building. The instruments will remain on the tower, the indicators in the office, as a guide not only to Southwest plans via radio communication from the office, but also lor ground information to all private aircraft using the field. "They will take away all guess work for the private pilot regarding weather conditions," Mr.

Mecham said. "Pilots can now tell the wind velocity, direction and pressure at a glance bfeore taking off." The instruments were pre viously housed in the unused Army Air Force tower, which has never been put in operation from not meeting CAA airport requirements for complete tower operation. The indicator installation is a part of a general field refurbishing made Ye mwmtm "mi niMntisriT i i v--" By UNCLE MIKE Possibility of establishing large scale aircraft overhaul operations at the Sonoma County Airport was indicated last week in the latest move by Southwest Airways. The company has selected the field's main wooden hangar, as a site for "overflow" operations from its South San Francisco shops in connection with resumption of general custom aircraft maintenance, Field Superintend ent Harrison Mecham said. Southwest announced several days ago that it is again soliciting outside work for its overhaul shops.

The carrier withdrew from the aircraft maintenance business at Thunderbird Field, near Phoenix, two and a half years ago due to pressing business in connection with establishing its feeder airline on the West Coast. Its overhaul shops were removed from Thunderbird to South San Francisco primarily for overhaul of its own DC-3 equipment. The shops are equipped to handle overhaul on engines, major and minor aircraft components, accessories, instruments, radio equip ment and to handle such work as modification, conversion and gen eral maintenance of transport type aircraft. PRIOR to its certification by the CAB as a carrier, service Southwest had been in the air craft overhaul and maintenance business for about 10 years. During the war its shop3 reached a peak load of 200 engine overhauls and 30 complete aircraft overhauls per month.

At the present time the shops are handling all of the equipment used in its own operation, as well as for several other organizations and is doing con tract work for the navy. Its officials have announced plans for extending- this service generally, to again enter the maintenance business on a large scale. Company officials, here last week, viewed facilities at the county field, and, says Mr. Mech am, gave the nod of approval to Hangar No. 1 the big wooden hangar 125 feet by 94 feet clear space for DC-3 overhaul work that cannot be handled at the South San Francisco shop.

Details of the deal, says Mr. Mecham, will await actual re-en try of the company into the main tenance business. "The approval means," he says, "that the field is selected as a standby' location for additional work anticipated" Meanwhile, new carrier records continued to fall during July at me county airfield, where South west showed a total of 246 pas sengers originating at the local station for a new all time hieh mark.
