Attic Rre Causes About $3,000 Loss

An estimated $3,000 damages re-sulted from water and smoke in an attic fire at the home of Ed-ward A. Adrianse at 120 Smith Street, Sunday about 4 p. m. Al-though actually undetermined, the blaze was believed to have been caused by faulty electrical wiring.

Neighbors helped carry out near-ly all the furniture before the fire spread to the downstairs area. (There is no upstairs in the house.) Mr. Adrianse reported that they had some trouble in contacting the Lowell Fire Department, who fin-ally showed up with a fire truck. Meanwhile Mr. Adrianse had con-nected a garden hose.

Water and smoke contributed to most of the damages and only about $7-800 was directly caused by fire.

Letter to Editor TTio unemployment situnlion in

Koni County has plnced our county, scl»o<>is and townships in a grave and serious position. Thp tragic increase in welfare cases requires an extraordinary amount of mon-ey that would normally go to our schools, townships and county.

Faced with a ronsiiiutlonal tnx limitation, we a r e in a position

i where either we must let thous-| ands of families of unemployed I people suffer privation or we must j drastically reduce the amount of ' money available for education and I normal governmental operations.

I do not believe that any per-; son today would advocate letting ; Innocent people suffer because of

economic conditions over which tliey have no control, nor do I believe that nny sane person wish-

* eg at this hour of history to re-duce school services.

Fortunately, the Board of Super-visors of Kent County has foreseen ihb problem, and hn? placed on the ballot for the Aucuit 5th elec tion the question of raising one and one-half mills ($1.50 per 51.000 of assessc.1 valuation) for one year

lof direct welfare purposes only. Tills will solve the problem at

| least for the coming year. A "Yes" vote on the two pro-

posals of the August 5th election will Insure proper care for the families of the less fortunate and

I proper education for our children. | I strongly urge that each voter I In Lowell vote " Y e s " on both pro-I posals at election day, Tuesday, (August 5th.

Best Oomedle*!

Regular Prlcen!

The seven poodles and their mns-ter and mistress, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nouvelle, have a definite in-ternational background. The poo-dles arc French, naturally. Their names typify this: Marlene, the white one; Julie, pink; Cherie, tur-quoise; and Suzette, P ie r re , Paul-ette and Colette are all black. Their ages range from nine months to four years . Pierre, the largest. Is the youngest.

Mrs. Nouvelle was b o m In Nor-way, came to this country in 1934 and finished high school. Her hus-band came here from Holland when he was thirteen. Both have come from a long line of show business ancestors. Her ancestors were ac-robats and his were dog trainers.

The Nouvelles and all their poo-dles live In the United States. They have a home in Hollywood and in Flushing, New York, but have spent a good deal of t ime touring Europe. Besides speaking English and their native language, they have picked up some Italian, Fiench and German in their trav-els.

"Poodles a re like children," Mrs. Nouvelle relates. " I h e y need training, but we never use a stick." After every act, their reward is

BIRTHS

Mr. and Mrs. Allen Lasby an-nounce the birth of a son, Jofih Allen, July 26, in Blodgett hospital.

CARD OF THANKS

I wish to express my thanks to all those who sent cards and flow-ers while I was in the hospital. My thanks especially to the Otto Cornell family. I will bo convalesc-ing at the home of m y daughter. I^etha Beaudry, for a few weeks at 740 Superior. Benton Harbor. pl5 Glenn Ford and Daughter

u hot dog and yum-yums, a dog biscuit, and they create a com-motion if they don't get it. Mrs. Nouvelle says, though, that they hardly ever mess up anything and rarely get upset. Although the first few nights of Showboat they were tense and excited. Besides performing in their "symphony." the poodles do tricks, and dance (they're especially good at rock 'n roll.)

The dogs have no fancy diet, but simply eat com flakes and milk for breakfast, canned vege-tables and dog food for dinner. At night they each take their pillow and jump into their own shelf in the trailer.

There is one spccial problem with Cherie and Julie. They must have their hair dyed every week. "What a mess!" exclaimed Mrs. Nouvelle. The poodles a r e all clip-ped by their owners, but occasion-ally taken to a beauty parlor while on tour. Imagine a woman's sur-prise to see seven poodles in the line ahead of her waiting to "have their hair done."

When not working with the dogs, Mr. Nouvelle likes to paint: Mrs. Nouvelle's pastime is cooking. But for the most part, the f)oodles go where their owners go. Mrs. Nou-Velle makes (and mends quite oft-en) all the costumes that the poo-dles wear. "When we go for a l ide," she says, "they go too.".

The Poodle Symphony has ap-peared at many well-known places; among them the Moulin Rouge in Hollywood, Chez Hotel in St. Louis, the Flamingo in Las Vegas and Ihe Lido in Paris. Now they soon will be on tholr way to the Brus-sels Fair to represent—not Holland, Norway or even France—but the United States at our huge pavilion.
