The Lost Dog Racket
The Lost and Found columns in this newspaper show a marked increase in the listing of missing dogs. Often the lost animal is a guardian and inseparable pal of a small child, or has belonged to one of our boys in service. Owners, anxious to recover their cherished pet, at times offer liberal rewards, even stating "No questions asked."
This procedure has played into the hands of thieves and a vicious traffic in stolen dogs is developing in Maywood and
surrounding suburbs. Despite the vigilance of the village police, detection and conviction of those guilty are difficult, if not impossible. There is no excuse for not recovering a dog with a license tag. The finder should immediately call the police station, who in turn will notify the owner.
Pets in the home during wartime are needed as never before as morale builders, but owners should exercise care to prevent theft. Neither should any reward be paid until the alleged finder has been closely questioned, and the owner convinced that the animal was not stolen and held for ransom. If suspicion is aroused, a report turned into the police may be of great assistance in stamping out this racket.
If you value your dog, keep it off the streets and guard it, even in your own yard.
To Be or Not to Be an Alderman
You too can have 76 extra gallons of gasoline! Step a little closer, folks, and we will tell you and you how it's done. Run for Alderman. Not clear? Well, then, let us explain. Let us say you live in Chicago. Unless you desire to run for Mayor, like a good half dozen are, the job of Alderman in your ward should hold appeal, for the OPA will grant you extra gasoline for campaign purposes. Extra gasoline for the few blocks your ward covers!   Tempting, isn't it?
Now let us look at our servicemen, coming home on leave before going into action. What boy wouldn't appreciate a ration of gas for the short time he is to be home. Ration boards in Proviso township are unable to grant this request. Their hands are tied. Hardly a fair picture, this rationing situation.

Pierre Van Paassen, author of "Days of Our Years," will address a public forum Tuesday, February 16 af the Proviso High school, the event to be sponsored by the West Suburban Forum. Van Paassen will speak on 'The World Crisis.
WDCA to Meet February 16
The Maywood chapter of the WDCA, Women's Defense Corps of America invites the public to buy war bonds and stamps at the booth in the Woolworth store, 20, North 5th avenue, for the month of January, $613.90 worth of bonds and stamps have been sold.
The WDCA urges those interested in donating cakes and other sweets to the Service Men's Center to call Maywood 5193-M if a pickup is needed.
The Corps meets regularly every other Tuesday of the month. Next meeting, February 16, 8 p.m., second floor of the village hall. All women of the village are invited to enroll and attend.
Bread Slice Ban Is Foolish
"Our legislators should ask the advice of an experienced American housewife before putting rules into effect which lead to such unreasonable results," one village housewife said last week when questioned on the federal bread slicing ban. "I wonder whose brain is responsible for that brilliant idea," she stated.
Housewives throughout Proviso township were stopped early this week and asked the same question. Here is what they said: "We always got along nicely on one loaf of white bread per week. It now lasts exactly half the time because we will never be able to make slices extra thin such as we used to buy prior to the ban." . . . "There is a loss by crumbs and other waste all around." . . . "The slices sometimes are so thick they cannot be toasted." . . . "We are forced to buy more loaves a week." . . . "As the balance gets smaller the slicing operation gets more difficult and there is always more than a mere top crust which heretofore could be toasted and eaten, and which now is unusable."
Restaurants and sandwich shops in the villages say the same thing. They assert it takes 25 times as long to cut bread with a knife as with an automatic slicer. Manpower is their problem. Employees are leaving restaurant duties for better paying jobs in war industries. Despite this handicap, restaurants here are serving more daily meals than ever before.
The ban on slicing bread is not only red tape, but foolish.
