Brought back to Glenfield Mayor Cook’s office for interrogation, the nocturnal pedestrian turned out to he Larry Barrone, 21, who gave his address as the Edgeworth Club. Meanwhile further investigation established that a 12-volt battery reposing in the abandoned car had been lifted from another car parked at 277 Dawson Street, Glenfield.
Further, the car Mr. Barrone had abandoned, an Olds, carried a registration plate issued to a Chevy, and it was displayed without benefit of a registration sticker. According to Glenfield authorities the Olds had been. swapped at least three times without benefit of formality of transfer.

Ye Dogs!
825 Of Them!!
On Saturday, the 21st of September, eight hundred and twenty-five perfectly groomed aristocrats of the dog world 'will start arriving at the Sewickley Y.M.G.A, grounds to take part in the largest dog show in tile history of the Sewickley Valley Ken-
nel Association,
These superbly trained animals will start to compete against each other at 3 a.m. and continue through the day* for Trophies to the value of $4,000, plus $1,200 in cash.
, A tremendous amount of work and patience goes into the making of a show dog. It starts with careful breeding and study of backgrounds, and often it takes several generations of breeding to arrive at the type of dog
desired. Correct feeding, grooming, and hours of training are essential to the show prospect,
Five thousand dollars is not considered a high prido for a proven show winner, and many have been valued at twice that and more.
In the Sewickley show there will be many of the country”s top dogs, ntid there is no greater thrill than to watch a good show dog at work.
