Miller 38 ItACINE SUNDAY BULLETIN Sunday, May 26, 1957 Speaking of Blames 'Problem Dog' On Owner By H. H. Miller Why are there "problem That term seems to be increasingly used to describe dogs that won't obey, that stray, that won't stop barking or, the other hand, 0 n't bark enough! Are they really prob- 1 No, most of the time it a p- pears that thte term is used to justify the owner's own shortcomings in bringing his dog up sensibly. Dogs come into the world full of trust. Even their mothers are trusting.

Female dogs are by nature a little apprehensive about the safety of their pups, but only occasionally and never with people they know or have confidence in. This in itself is an unusual characteristic for animals. Even the most gentle farm animal will bear watching when she has her young by her side. But dogs have great trust in humans. They are about the only animal that seems to understand and actually sympathize with the thoughts and feelings of human beings.

A puppy will leave its mother's side and a warm dinner to toddle over to a person. Ovemeglect Harmful Why do they, then, grow into problem cases? Perhaps be- cauce puppies are left too much to their own devices in "growing up." Now, training to some people conjures up strict discipline under the tutelage perhaps of a nexpert trainer, or it seems to be something which happens to dogs when they "grow old enough to train." But training actually starts right from earliest puppyhood. Even the very young pup learn that fundamental element of obedience, obeying when called, if we call his name or whistle when we call He weighs only pounds but he is a champion of his the third most popular breed of dog in the United States. (Photo from owner Mrs. Frank L.

Mayen). him to his dinner'. When you walk with your pup, even in your own back yard, call him to you occasionally and reward him with a. show of affection. Always welcome the pup when he comes to you.

Don't, for example, call him, then begin to talk to a neighbor and forget you've given a command which must be recognized in order to instill the idea of obedience. So simple is boundary training that it hardly seems possible so many people have dogs that stray away from their own yards. Of course, there can always be a time when the It 's Your Move By RUSS KIME One event, an eight- man round robin speed tournament, ended the Racine Chess Club activity to be reported by this column until the 1957-58 season begins next fall. Art Domsky added to his accomplishments of the chess season by winning 6-1 ahead of Rudy Kunz and John Oberg who tied for second with 5-2 each. Herman Zierke with 4th, 4-3, Andy Mike and Jack Byrd both had 3-4 for a 5th place tie, and Buttenhoff and Draper followed with 1-6.

The club will continue to meet during the summer months, but no tournament activity is slated. A ladder com petition will provide the more ambitious competitors with an activity to help sharpen their jgame The New Western Open will be the only tournament of the summer. It is scheduled for Milwaukee's Astor Hotel July 4-7 with a iranteed $1,000 prize fund and should attract several Racine players. A second Illinois-Wisconsin match will likely be scheduled during the summer, but no information concerning or date has yet reached the writer. Being the last column of the summer, it seems appropriate to close with the publication pf current player ratings, and a review of the past season's activity in the field of chess.

The dog that habitually strays has usually been put outdoors without supervision, right from the time he was a pup. Stay with Him While the pup is young, stay with him, or keep your eye on him when he's out in the yard.

Puppies have an insatiable curiosity, and their sensitive noses have a million things to investigate. Whenever he sees anything for the first time, a pup has two what is it and how can I have fun with it? When he gets too inquisitive about the next-door yard or the street, call him to you. Let him know you are keeping him in mind and he will keep you in mind. You draw out the best in your dog, you can't force It into him. Forcing a young pup is lilce trying to force a child.

Puppy omissions and commissions are only natural, but we can start to bend the twig in the right way at a very early age. In general, dogs that are called "problem dogs" can usually point a paw at their owners. Teaches Camera Lore To Girl Scout Troop The Male Corner By Irving Desfor (AP Newsfciiturcsl Many a camera fan father has the problem of teaching the fundahientals of photography to his children or his wife. It can be done if he has the time and patience to impart information in easy stages by allotting a fixed time each week and following a planned outline. It's a problem I faced since I have three daughters at the inevitable stage of curiosity, independence and desire to own and handle their own cameras.

But what pu.shed me into the role of teacher was ah organization much larger than my own women's auxiliary the Girl Scouts. The girls are scouts, my wife is a leader and I was "volunteered" before I knew what I was in for. Actually, I enjoyed the experience and perhaps others can use the outline for a six- session course that kept 14 Intermediate Girl Scouts busy and interested throughout. It was planned primarily to meet the requirements necessary for the girls to earn their Photography badge, but can be adapted to individual needs. We set up two-hour sessions for Saturday mornings, rain or shine.

Each was to bring their own camera every time. Basement Classroom The basement of our home was the classroom. It was also the photo studio when we discussed how to take pictures and the darkroom when we took up developing and printing. The proper stagp was set the night before each session so that no time was lost looking for equipment or materials. Here's how it went: First week.

General Theory: Examination of a simple camera and basic explanation of how it works. The role of a film negative; different types of films. How to clean a lens with lens tisisue never with fingers, a towel or dirty cloth. At this first session, after the general explanation, we examined the girlsI.H cameras and saw how each performed the basic function of getting the necessary light to the negative though there were many different types and els. We showed how to load a roll of film and what happens by leaving the camera back open.

It spoiled one roll but the operation was better understood. Taking Pictures Second week. Taking Pictures: Explanation of setting focus for distance; setting speed and setting dia- phram. The relationship of intensity of light to (Exposures; daylight, flash and time. At this session, photofloods were in readiness for shooting.

Then they were turned off for flash shots and finally the girls went outdoors for shooting, tl was emphasized that the subjects were to be snapped in some sort of natural action. Third week. Developing Negatives: Loading roll film tanks in the dark and developing by time and temperature in room light. The process of developing, rinsing, fixing, washing and drying negatives. The explanation was accompanied by a practical demonstration with a roll of film.

Fourth week. Printing Negatives: by contact and by enlargement. Here the girls made contact prints with their own negatives. The effect of different grades of paper and of over and under-exposure was effectively shown by demonstration. How to File Fifth week.

Filing: a place for negatives and prints. Photo albums and various types of negative files, including home made cardboard boxes, shown. Emphasis on the importance of dating negatives and prints and of writing names and information down when pictures are taken. For the next, final session the girls were asked to bring in a written report and any pictures they had taken. week.

Review: Summary, of major points. Then the written reports were read and the girls' photos were examined, passed around and commented on. It was a relief when the final session was over, but I was pleased at the sustained interest shown by the girls and at the efforts that went into their written reports. iilil 'J A special hanger comes with some wash-and-wear suits.

Well-tailored suit shoAvn is worstedlike pattern of Dacron and cotton. Good Tailoring Marks New Wash-and-Wears By Edward Lawrence Wash-and-wear suits the kind that drp dry and seldom need pressing first appeared five years ago. Only 1,200 were manufactured that year. This year about 1,250,000 are on their way from the cutters to retail racks. Manufacturer Michael Daroff figures this number to jump threefold by 1960.

Making allowances for the clothier's understandable enthusiasm and tendency to exaggerate, clearly wash-and- wear is here to stay. In the beginning, you could spot a wash-and-wear- suit pretty easily. The fabric seemed to bunch a bit along the seams. Its tailoring was somewhat awkward. And the only color you saw was a pleasant cordlike light blue.

W-and-w has come a long way since then. It now merits an honored place in the wardrobe, alongside such distinguished summer perennials as tropical worsted, silk and linen. Attention to Details There's a new emphasis on good tailoring, made possible by improved fabrics. A minor detail, such as the way the yarn is twisted in weaving, may have a major effect on the appearance and serviceability of a fabric. With time and experience, manufacturers have learned more and more about such details.

Today's wash- and-wear suit Is a fine-tailored proof that experience pays off. Presumably next year's model will be still better. Along with tailoring refinements have come new fiber combinations. Dacron is now combined with practically any other natural or synthetic fiber mohair, rayon, Orion, wool, produce ings which are lightweight and washable but which look much like regular materials in texture, pattern and color. A cheap but passable summer suit costs as littls as $20.

A good ready-made tropical worsted may be anywhere fro.m $60 to $95, or even higher at posh shops. The new tailored wash-and- wear suits are in the middle, generally from $45 to $55. The sturdy a 0 n-blend cord wash-and-wear suit we've seen for the last few years averages about $38 across the country. Which should you buy? You get what you pay for in clothing. Always buy the best you feel you can afford.

A word to the woman who washes 'em before you wear Short Wash Better For machine washing, the manufacturers suggest a short washing cycle. Bad spots can be attacked by covering with a paste made of detergent or soap and water for a half hour before washing. The suit should be hung up dripping wet, on a wooden or plastic hanger, with the trousers hung by the cuff to dry without wrinkling. Linings should be straightened, seams set straight and pocket flaps smoothed. One smart manufacturer provides a special hanger with his wash and wear tailored suit.

Another aid to good care is promised by appliance companies, who are bringing out drier attachments that will "dewrinkle" fabrics and garments made of Dacron blend.
