Some of the victims required medical treatment. It is not this reporter's intention to cite any one pase in particular but it would be advisable to nfuzzle the •'nippers" and keep all dogs tied. With our small fry travelling the roads to the bus stops, it would be a major crime to subject the youngsters to a vicious attack. Let us control our pets and keep them as just that!

The entire hive swarmed over him and covered him with more than one hundred toxic stings. Brother "Bud" rushed him' to the home of a local physician, where Greg was treated with proper medication. It took Greg a week to recover, but we are happy to report his "accident" is only a painful memory no1 He Never Getsl, Nuthin' Jim Pokorny was singing his woes.
