One of the most controversial topics concerned early accep- tance of Grade It students. Secondary school teachers ob- ject to early admissions because it affects grades and discipline, One guidance officer said, "A Student who has been admitted to a university at Christmas, spends the spring term chew- ing his cud." Boy scouts raise $7,757 The executive committee of the North Waterloo boy scouts learned at its November meet- ing that this year's Apple Days netted $7,757. Scout groups sold 630 bushels of apples throughout the area during the two-day event. The average gross return per bushel for all groups was reported at $1635. . Piper drives earlier in the year earned $1,200 for partieipa- ting groups. A letter was read from Dr. Charles O‘Connell expressing appreciation for tents provided for walkers along the Miles for Millions route. Troops involved were the 8th and 10th Waterloo and the 22nd, 29th, 32nd and 37th from Kitchener. The meeting was told that Bernard Isaacksz, senior citizen co-ordinator for Waterloo is seeking the assistance of scouts or venturers who would visit older residents and do odd jobs for them. It was noted that the 13th Waterloo troop had planted 100 trees at Camp Mohawk. In midget house league hockey play, Nov. 17, Detroit defeated the Chicago Blackhawks, 6-3.

First Quality TILE WESTMOUNT PLACE We recently received a request for information on the deve- lopment of the American Eskimo breed and thought perhaps other breeders and fanciers might also wish a run down on it. We have quoted from a past journal, as it was a clear, compre- hensive survey of this great breed. W “In writing'on this Breed. let us go back to the very founda- tion of the breed. There are many names for the Eskimo dogs and many types, but they all lean and iead up to the American Eskimo. You will note here that the outstanding name for the specie is 'Eskimo' and this fact was largely responsible for the final selection of the breed name, American Eskimo, when their bloodlines were recognized for registration and a distinct breed by the United Kennel Club, Inc. Registering office. First, we have the Alkaskan Eskimo (Huskie). They are black or dark with white and buff markings and weight around 70 pounds. The second step is the North Greenland Es- kimo Dog. They weigh as much as 100 lbs., a whiter dog with a more pronounced plume tail and we are one step nearer the American Eskimo. We must take this beautiful bloodline and take a westerly course with it down through Germany, England and home to the United States. There is a nomadic tribe that lives in that vast tract of Tundra country which expands from the eastern shores of the White Sea in Northern Russia to the River Khatanga in Wes- tern Siberia. They are one of the oldest and most interesting of native tribes and with them lives the very foundation of this great breed, the American Eskimo which is one of the oldest and most beautiful of all domestic breeds. When leaving the Nomadic tribes, this bloodline came to us under the great and most popular name, "Spitz". This name "Spitz" was tacked on to this breed when coming through Ger- many, many as "Kleina Spitz" as we would say in English, "Little Rum". They were imported into this country many, many years ago under the trade name of Spitz and bringing with them the tra- ditional comradeship of man and dog, a simple but compre- hensive domesticity and an intelligent utility. A number of years ago, the breed was very popular under the breed name of Spitz, and Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hall had a fine kennel of these supposed to be (Little Rants) weighing from 24 to 40 pounds. At this time, the U.K.C. recognized this breed under the breed name of American Eskimos, made a record of Mr. and Mrs. Hall's dogs and since that time, hund- reds have been registered. The honest to goodness name for the dog was Eskimo. They are the direct descendants of the Alaskan Eskimo and the Nor- them Greenland Eskimo. Coming from a rigorous climate, the American Eskimo is naturally hardy and noted for longevity of age. In his native country, the American Eskimo is the shephard of the reindeer herds, the guard and defender of the domestic pet, the rein- deer. When occasion arises, he becomes a sled dog, but what- ever his work is, you may associate it with a human background. The stance of the American Eskimo shows him to be a canine aristocrat with the beautiful plumed tail carried over his back when moving and when sleeping, placed over his face for protection and warmth against the ever cold and snow of the northern climate. He has strong and well-boned legs, feathered feet, head with small and well placed ears which are held erect, dark and intelligent eyes, which show great kindness and under- While their ancestors were very large dogs weighing up to 100 pounds, today we have the American Eskimo standing be- tween 15 and 20 inches and weighing in proportion. This change in weight started in Germany and the breed was bred down in size, as the Germans did not desire a dog so great in size: this is probably why the name "Kleina Spitz" or (Little Runt) got its start. standing.
