The Brussels Post, 1957-08-21, Page 7Finding Lost Dogs
In Holland
Lost dogs in Holland are for-
tunate creatures. They are sel-
dom lost for very long and when
they are found they are swiftly
returned to their owners.
For their good fortune the
dogs and their masters have to
thank a national voluntary or-
ganization that is 25 years old
this year. Holland possesses
many welfare services but the
organization known as. Stichting
Amivedi (Animal Lovers' Foun-
dation) is perhaps unique. It
provides the human link be-
tween the owner of a pet, the
police, the animal protection
societies, andd the finder of a
stray.
I found out how it,works
when I met the Baron van Pal,
landt in Hilversum, the nation's
radio city. He has been working.
for the Stichting in. Hilversum'
for a year and he has found 50
dOgs during that time and re-'
turned them to their owners.
The Baron explained that a
group of people in Utrecht 25
years ago decidede that a great
deal of unhappiness was caused
by the fact that though lost ani-
mals were often found, there
was no organization to return
them to their owners. The ani-
mals were brought to a protec-
tion society's kennels and re-
mained there unless the owner
made constant visits to see 'if
he could spot his pet.
So the Stichting Amivedi
came into being. Over the years
it has created new branches in
nearly all the large cities in
Holland and it has earned praise
from the public and from the
police.
Its work is especially impor-
tant in a country with large city
populations but it is made es-
,sential by the fact that Dutch
law provides several statutes
that protect the domestic pet. In
the first place an animal that has
strayed cannot be killed unless
it is severely injured.
In the second, the finder of a
dog must immediately report his
find to the police. If he fails to
do so with 24 hours he may be
heavily fined. A third statute
safeguards the property rights
of the owner of a stray. If a
stray is given to a new owner it
must be given up if the original
owner comes forward to claim
it, writes Ian Rodger in The.
Christian Science Monitor.
Such regulations mean that ,
there is a great deal of work to
be done that cannot be done
by the normal organizations that .
exist in other countries. They
create the need for the dog-
hunters of the Stitching Amivedi.
The Baron told me that he
often spends a whole day look-
ing for a dog. On less difficult
days he usually starts by tele-
phoning the police for the latest
reports.' When he has checked
his list of found dogs with the
list of dogs reported missing he
begins his regular rounds.
These rounds include visits to
people who have been given
strays that cannot be traced to
their owners. Once a month he
calls on them to make sure that
the animal is in good health. On
some of his calls he gives advice
about the care and feeding of
pets and he provides pamphlets
and some medicines without
charge.
He has a car of his own but
the Stitching gives him a travel
allowance and pays for his cleri-
cal and postal work. But his time
and his labor are given free.
For his reward he has the
satisfaction of playing a very
necessary and human role in
Dutch society and there is no
doubt that he, like the other
members of the Stichting Ami-
vdi, thoroughly, enjoys his work.
As a true animal lover, he de-
rives as much pleasure from re-
turning a mongrel to a small
boy as• he does from rescuing a
pedigree prizewinner.
"I always go to these• fancy
dress balls as Napoleon," said a
young, man to his friend at a
',dance. "I like to keep my hand
on My,,wallet."

Egyptian Puzzle
it would be interesting and
helpful to know What was Presi-
dent Nasser's thought behind one
Phrase he used in the address
Opening Egypt's new National
Assembly, The meeting of this
assembly, be said, was not 0, re.
turn to parliamentary life in
-Egypt but "the beginning of par-
llamentarY life" there,
One would like to believe, this
was a recognition of the fact
that parliamentary government
in Egypt will need eventually a
broader base than the election.
Of a hand-picked slate of assem-
bly candidates, Some centeSts
were permitted, but after ap-
proximately half the prospective
candidates had been ruled out
by Calonel Nasser's National
Union,
The torie *of the rest of the
speech, however, suggests an-
other possible interpretation.
This is that the parliaments
which existed under a half cen-
tury of British tutelage — and
which, with whatever faults of
corrution or zeal, permitted ex-
pression of more than one Egyp-
tian point of view — do not
count. Such a reading would
imply that one-party government
eontrelled by an originally mili-
tary junta is regarded as a per-
manent pattern.
It appears true that the Nas-
ser 'regime has substantial ac-
complishments to its credit in
at least two fields — land re-
form and school construction.
One could wish that these efforts
and initiation of the Aswan Dam
had gone forward without 'the,
accompaniment of Soviet-bloc
=as purchases and Suez Canal
nationalization. Only Egyptians
can judge whether their inter-
ests might be better served by
still more attention to internal
improvement and less to the
stirring of external antagonisms.
But the question Is whether
even now, with the possession
a a National. Assembly — which
President Nasser could dissolve
at any moment — Egyptians will
et an opportunity to express
such judgments. From The
Christian Science Monitor.

Great Flocks Of
Flying Jewels
Deep in the great caves of
Trinidad, high up among' ,the
moaning pines of Haiti, and now
/ again here between' the cold
mangroves and the sea of mud,
we have found ourselves in
places that were strangely un-
real, unearthly, and apart, as if
they were on another planet.
Such other-worldly places need
not be grim and forbidding;
they may be places of absolute-
ly pure, soft beauty. This shell
bank by the, sea was one of
these.
Lying there under the even-
ing sun with the fresh mellow
winds puffing at our faces, we
could not belive it possible that
there could be any other peo-
ple in the world, or that a town
of even the size of Paramaribb
was less than seventy miles
away. From being an austere
and lifeless bit of mangrove.,
haunted mud facing an endless
. stretch of muddy sea, the place
had -become a distant paradise.
How can I say this of an area
that is entirely covered with
mud and mangroves? ',will tell
you, but first let me make sure
of one thing: do yott know a
bird called the red ibis?
It is essential to describe this
lovely creature before .I ,try to
give you any impression of the
coast of Surinam that evening,
because the mud flats as far as
the eye could reach in any di-
rection were covered with
countless multitudes of these
birds. They are long-legged
wading birds with the charac-
teristic down-curved bill of the
ibises. . . The entire plumage
is, right enough, red rather than
green, blue or yellow, but in it
are mingled all the salmon-
pinks, roseate reds and brilliant
flames that any artist could ima-
gine.
Under the warm light of the
evening sun these natural
jewels came sailing across the
rich blue sky in unending flocks,
landing among their brethren on
the mud. With them came great
flights of snow-white egrets,
beating the air with laboured
difficulty, their thin black legs
trailing behind them. Every
now and then bevies of brown
bitterns or bright blue herons
would come out of the two little
creeks like flights of arrows. ...
As the sun sank lower, there
came a raucous screeching.,
mingled with insolent cries,
shrieks, whistles, cat calls and
all the other uproar that only
parrots can produce. By tens, by
hundreds, they came along the
coast, blotting out the sky, fill-
ing the air with their yelling,
and driving the wheeling vul-
tures and hovering fishing-
eagles lar, up into the higher
air. Whet makes parrots such
friendly creatures? I believe
there• are two answers to this
question: first, because they are
'never ashamed of proclaiming
themselves, and, secondly, be-
cause they always fly in pairs,
the little husband and. wife
beating along wing-tip to wing-
tip.
After tea we strolled round to
the little creek that backed our
shell spit. Here the setting •sun

ivory ,Hunters
• Qt The Diamond
Probably bnebairs most under-
paid operatives are its "ivory
hunters" — its scouts — who
beat the bushes from early spring
until late fall in the hope of
flushing some real talent.
It is a profession which has
been likened to buying oil stock
by mail, with the saving grace
that it needn't cost the scout
any money however, etnploy-
ment often ceases with the same
abruptness with which a base.
ball can lose itself in Yankee
Stadium's late afternoon shadows,
and the hours are long and
arduous,
of the gaMes's MoSt suc-
cessful scouts have been former
big leave players, although not
all have been so personally tal-
ented. Perhaps the two 'best
known in recent years have been
Paul Kirtchell of the New York
Yankees and Wish Egan of De-
troit.
Kirtchell always gave the im-
pression of being the hard-hit-
ting businessman, intent on land-
ing his quarry at any price. His
No. 1 find was Lou Gehrig. Egan
was the more fatherly type, al-
though he too knew the value of
the dollar, His chief claim to
fame was Hal Newhouser, a
,strong-armed southpaw who won
more than 200 games while wear-
ing a Tiger uniform.
Kitchell and Egan. may not
have been the two best scouts
of all time, but if they weren't
they are so close to rating that
distinction that there' are few
baseball men around who will
argue the point.
Nearly 20 years ago the Bos-
ton Red. Sox sent its former gen-
eral manager, Eddie Collins, to
the West Coast to scout a prom-
ising infielder. As far as is
known, it was the only planned
scouting trip Collins ever made.
While Eddie was there his
trained baseball eye caught sight
of a gangling outfielder who
swung a bat with rare authority.
Collins recommended that the
Red Sox but not only the in-
fielder, Bobby Doerr, but also
the outfielder, Ted Williams. Un-
doubtedly, it was one of the most
profitable scouting trips of all
time.
However, they don't all turn
out that way. Ed Rumill once
talked about a scout' who visit-
ed Frank Lawrence a few years
ago, when that gentleman was
owner of the Portsmouth, Vir-
ginia, club of the Piedmont
League.
A southpaw was pitching for
Pettarnotttfrlhat afternoon and
doing a whale of a job. Lawrence
offered to make a deal with the
scout for the youngster, but the
ivory hunter decided the boy
was too small.
Lawrence then directed his at-
tention to the club's second base-
man, who was having a great
day both at bat and in the field.
It was the same story — too
small.
The following year Lawrence
sold his second baseman to the
Macon club for $500 and he later
got $2,500 from the St. Louis
Cardinals for the pitcher, You
may recall the names — Eddie
Stanky and Harry (the Cat)
Brecheen.
Ted McGrew, a much-traveled
big league scout, probably was
as much responsible for the
Brooklyn Dodgers winning the
1.941 National League pennant
as any of Leo Durocher's regu-
lars. Three of the Dodgers key
players — outfielder Pete Reiser,
shortstop Pee Wee Reese, and
pitcher Whitlow Wyatt — were
the result of three separate
scouting trips by McGrew.
Without scouts, there probab-
ly wouldn't be any' ball players.
And without players there would
be no baseball — at least not
the way we know it today. May-
be that's an oversimplification,
but boiled down it makes sense..
The scout's lot Is not an easy
one. Let one big fish get away
and he's looking for a job. Dis-
cover a Vic Raschi and the club
will expect you to find a battery-
mate, preferably someone like
Yogi Berra, to go along with
him.
