1 PAGE SIX SAYRE, PA, MONDAY, MAY 7, 1934 Pet Show Will Become Annual Waverly Event More Than 100 Animals Are Entered in Affair Originally Expected to Be Small Sunday School Entertainment WAVERLY, May 7-What started out to be an afternoon's entertainment for a few children became the first annual Pet Show sponsored by Grace Episcopal church school Saturday.

The results of two or three weeks preparation for the exhibit indicate that an annual net show eventually will become a tradition in Waverly. Generosity of local merchants enabled Mr. Lunn, members of the church schcol staff and volunteers who bad charge to award about fifty prizes and to give each child some candy and each dog a bone.

Only at the feeding time was there any trouble. Several of the dogs were a bit over anxious to receive their bones. The children whose pets won prizes were: Dog Events Cutest dog, Louise Webb; youngest puppy, Bobby Eisenhart; best appearing police dog, Joanna Boehmer; first and second homliest dog, Mary Rogers and Robert Erham; most intelligent dog, first and second, Eleanor Walker and Beverly Loughran; dog exhibited by boy and showing the best care, Albert Buckpitt; best hound hunter, first and second, Buddy Kolb and Kenneth Giroux; best natured dogs, Doris Williams, Naomi Hartz and Muriel Rose; and laziest and homliest dog, John D.

CANOLL AND SON EVERYTHING FOR FARM LAWN AND GARDEN 373 BROAD STREET, WAVERLY PHONE 394 Waverly Trustees Will Receive Expression of Opinions on Proposed Ordinance and Budget This Evening WAVERLY, May 7-A long session of the village board is expected tonight when the trustees hold their regular monthly meeting and hearings on the annual budget and the proposed zoning ordinance at the village hall. It will be begun at 8 o'clock.

The zoning proposal is expected to be the principal drawing card for a large number of citizens to attend. Considerable opposition had arisen concerning several phases of the recommendations of the zoning commission's report presented at a special meeting of the trustees on April 16. For the most part the objections are of a minor nature but the objectors are determined to win their point when they appear before the board tonight. The principal point of contention is the 070 requiring that signs for tourists homes and non-conforming use businesses in the residential section be required to be placed four feet back of the side walks. The zoning ordinance could not require that signs already placed be removed from, their present locations.

Members of the Waverly Lions club are expected to attend in a body and voice their objections to changes in the commission's report. ARCH DEACON PAYS VISIT TO PARISHES Very Rev. Almon A. Jaynes, Is "Very Satisfied" with Conditions Here WAVERLY, May 7-Very Rev. Almon A.
