Table Scraps Can Short-Change Your Dog
Table Scraps Can Short-Change Your Dog. Do right by the dog you love... balance each meal with GRO-PUP Ribbon. When you feed your dog table scraps, you can never be sure he's getting all the nutrients he needs. And yet, to stay fit and strong, he should have a well-balanced diet every day. That's why thoughtful families are adding Gro-Pup Ribbon to every scrap meal they feed. Gro-Pup is an unusual kind of dog food. It contains an extra bonus of vital protein, important vitamins and minerals — far in excess of the minimum levels set by the National Research Council. Even when fed with large amounts of "unbalanced" leftovers, the high nutrient level of Gro-Pup can safeguard against improper diet. When you feed Gro-Pup every day, you can enjoy the confidence that your dog is getting an abundance of the essentials he needs for a long and healthy life. Why don't you start tomorrow?

GETTING AROUND Continued from page 4
GETTING AROUND Continued from page 4. About the only person involved who hasn't lost any sleep over Curtis McKay's tax troubles is Curtis McKay, who lists his address as Linn, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin department of taxation, however, says that Mr. McKay's bedroom is located in the half of his house that lies over the Linn-Lake Geneva border and adds that since the location of a man's bedroom determines his domicile Linn must turn over to Lake Geneva the $10,008 in tax money collected from Mr. McKay. • • • A wonderful experiment in brotherhood is being conducted at the Sylvania Heights, Florida, Elementary School, where about a dozen children, all just arrived from Cuba and all unable to speak English, have recently enrolled. Instead of being kept in a special, separate group, the children were immediately absorbed into regular classes with only one hour out of the school day set aside for English lessons. The regular student body has pitched in to help them with lessons, conversation, and extra-curricular activities, and, we hear, the young Cubans are picking up the language and customs at an amazingly rapid rate of speed. • • • Mrs. Lilia J. Howry writes from Merrick, New York, to tell all of us about the day her young son came home from school munching on a chocolate candy cigar. When she asked where he got it, he said, "A boy in my class gave it to me. He had a pile of 'em. He gave one to everybody in the class. His mother just had a new baby." Hollywood, Florida, City Manager Joseph Watson has hired a firm to take the color out of the town's drinking water. Although the color is harmless, many people complained that they didn't like it, so the obliging City Commission decided to invest in the six-month water-clearing project. • • • Eight years ago, Mr. Fred Block, of Woodland, California, was offered a simple choice by a judge: "Either pay your wife the money you owe her ($750 in back alimony) or go to jail." Mr. Block chose jail, even though he had the money, because, he claims, "I was married to that woman 25 years, and I just didn't think she deserved it." So, Mr. Block sat in the county jail, year after year, playing solitaire and reading detective stories. His troubles started in 1925, he says, when at the age of 32 he got married. "I waited so long," he adds, "all the good ones got by. She never helped me. She was always on a diet, so I never got enough to eat. And she was always wanting to go dancing." Every once in a while the judge called him in and asked if he'd changed his mind, but Mr. Block, stubborn as ever, said, "No, and I'm never going to." A few weeks ago, however, the judge took matters into his own hands and let him out because it was costing the taxpayers too much to feed and keep him. • • • Our School-Lunch-Of-The-Month award goes to Randy Blake, age six, who lives near Irving, Texas. His lunch, made by him: two mashed potato sandwiches—with mustard, of course. 6 Suburbia Today, March 1961
