GETTING AROUND

Continued from page 2 The Mercer Island, Washington, fire department needed some practice, so members set fire to a house and went through all the motions while the house burned to the ground. Nobody was arrested for arson, though, because the boys were only doing a favor for the power and light company, which had the house scheduled for wrecking and gave the boys the opportunity to exercise the fire-fighting equipment. Now, Mrs. David Zauder's sixth-grade class at the Fairfax School in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, wanted an aquarium, but they didn't just sit around hoping someone would give them one—they went to work and earned the money for a five-gallon tank, fully stocked with tropical fish. Their novel fund-raising project consisted of setting up a car-washing business after school in Susan Files' driveway. Bringing rags and soap from home, 23 children washed 13 cars and, with tips, raised $12.36. When they added $7.18 previously collected from tax-stamp collections and penny fines for messy desks and talking out of turn, they had more than enough for the tank and fish. They've even started a bank account in the name of "Moneymakers of Room 208" and plan to save money from other projects to buy a reflector for their aquarium. What's next, Moneymakers? The secretary to the minister at the Baptist Temple Church in Alexandria, Virginia, is Mrs. Lillian Scripture. Mrs. Claire Baker Ulmer runs a motel in Shades Valley, Alabama, for healthy dogs and cats who are on vacation from their owners. It's almost like any other motel you've ever seen—located on the highway, with an office where the animals register and with a unit for each animal. It could even be mistaken for a regular human hostelry—except that it's about half as high, and there's a big illuminated sign that reads, "No People Allowed." Esther Wortell informs us so much clothing is usually thrown away during spring cleaning in her Skokie, Illinois, neighborhood, that last year the P.T.A. decided to do something about it. They organized a drive, and picked up cast-off clothing that was then distributed to less fortunate people in other neighborhoods. Since this is just about spring cleaning time again, why not follow suit this year and call your favorite local charitable organization that collects old clothing—and furniture, too—and let them have it instead of throwing it away? The Brentwood, Missouri, police department is putting on the dog these days—and drawing high praise from everybody in the neighborhood for it, too. The dog is Smokey, graduate of the St. Louis police department's canine school, who forms one half of Brentwood's first specially trained canine patrol. With Patrolman Charles W. Mayer, Smokey will search buildings for burglars and track lost persons, particularly stray children.
