Contrary to your remarks
re the dog being part
German Shepherd, it is but it
is three-quarter collie, and a
very affectionate dog. It has
been brought up with child-
ren and is considered a very
likeable pet by numerous

people. However, like most
animals it has its enemies.

We have noticed on return-

I find it somewhat alarm-

newspaper publisher sees fit
to fill his column with. an

Mr. Speck quite a bill of

I have also been informed

Jong number of years work-

spell it out.

The statements. made
about secretarial jobs and the
wages paid are also very
much out of line. Except for
very few who fill jobs as
private secretaries to the
very top officials, there are
no wages paid in the figures
quoted by Mr. Speck. Much
of the ‘‘insatiable appetite
is caused by the
need to replace those secre-
taries who leave the civil
service for higher paid jobs
in private industry. ,
