Thames Road team holds hayride party Sunday during the church service. "Ralph", belonging to 15-year-old Barbara Bowes of Old Orchard Farm in Peterborough, is credited with sounding the alarm for Mrs. John Bowes when she became locked inside a walk-in freezer at her home in January of this year. Mrs. Bowes was trapped for nearly an hour, and became frantic that she might suffocate. She also thought it might be many more hours before her absence was noted, or anyone realized her plight. The cat must have heard her cries through the locked door or sensed the trouble, for he suddenly created such furore with his unearthly cries that he attracted the attention of Mrs. Bowes' father, C. K. Bottun, from a distant part of the house. The cat stood his ground outside the freezer door, wailing and crying, until Mr. Bottun in- vestigated and released the lock to let Mrs. Bowes out. The alertness and intelligence of the young cat is a prime example of the reasoning power of animals. He was 7 months old at the time of the incident. "Kanaka", 7-year-old black German Shepherd, has given distinguished service as a member of the Ontario Provincial Police Canine Team, with an outstanding record of rescues, arrests, recovery of evidence, stolen goods and money. In one significant rescue, Kanaka tracked a lost hunter through freezing swamps and a lake, haying to swim at many points, breaking ice as he went, working a 20-hour old track for 4 hours to a successful conclusion. The dog then had to walk out, though granular snow, ice and freezing water played havoc with his feet. He required constant medication on cuts to his pads and was put out of service as a result, for two weeks. Corporal A. A. Boley of the O.P.P., Kanaka's trainer and handler, believes without reservation that the lost hunter owes his life to the dedica- tion and endurance of Kanaka. Kanaka's fearlessness in the face of danger, his intelligence and endurance as a working member of the Ontario Provincial Police Canine Team have earned him a place in the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. He is now retired as a family pet with the Boleys. "Lonesome", Donalda, Alberta, helped to avert a tragedy when his master's friend, Nils Haugejorden was saved from a freezing death March 9,1970. Mr. Haugejorden fell while walk- ing home at midnight; snow was falling and the temperature below zero. No one heard his cries for help except the dog, who stayed throughout the next four hours with the injured man, keep- ing him awake, until the barking and cries awoke neighbours enabling them to get the frostbitten man to hospital. The dog was given the name "Lonesome" because he had no home until he was taken in by Norris McIntyre about 2;2 years ago. "Lone- some" also seems a self-appointed guardian of the children in the town, sensing something wrong when they wander off alone, bringing them back or alerting parents. For his intelligence, devotion and alert instinct of the danger to Nils Haugejorden, "Lonesome" has been installed as a Member of Purina's Animal Hall of Fame, 1970. By MRS.
