This is heartening to those who labor on behalf of animal welfare causes. And this type of work is here to stay until things get very much better. Until ways pre found to spay and neuter the animals allowed to roam, cutting down the pet over­ population figures; until there are no more cruelty or abuse cases, no wanton neglect, no abandonments; until every adoptable stray finds a home; until all lost pets are reunited with their owners. All of this is a long way off. That's why each advancement, each en­ couragement, no matter how tiny, is a bell-ringing event for front line workers. Perhaps when one day appears its gloomiest, an encouraging note will arrive, a photo is sent in of a happily adopted pet, or an unexpected contribution arrives that expands a badly needed program. Each little victory is made sweeter by the bad times. On a recent Saturday in January an incident occurring on a heavily traveled road, focussed on the concern many have for an animal in distress. As our car turned from route 62 on to route 25 to head south­ ward to Meadowdale, we joined a slow-moving caravan of cars going at a crawling speed. The lane of cars on the opposite side moved slowly too. At first it was difficult to tell what \^as causing the delay. But soon we could see that cars and pickup trucks were slowing to a stop at times as a miniature white poodle with pink hair ribbons darted back and forth sometimes crossing the road in front of traffic, sometimes running along the shoulders of the road. Two cars in front of us the driver was moving slowly with the car door open on the passenger's side so that he could jump out when the poodle was within reach. He tried this more than once but the small animal eluded capture. Once the car directly in front came to a dead halt, and the driver, a woman, jumped out hoping she could catch the poodle. This slow moving caravan continued south chasing the poodle running as fast as its little legs would go. until the first side road loomed ahead. The poodle took a right turn on Boltz Road and kept running. And the two cars ahead also turned right and pursued the poodle. We could only hope that on this less hectic side road there was every chance the poodle could be recovered. We were wondering, and suppose everyone else was too, how it happened the tiny poodle was in this predicament. Could it have jumped out of a moving car? There are no stores or parking in the area where it was run­ ning. The patience and con­ centration of the drivers was heart-warming. No one honked a horn or attempted to pass or showed impatience. Wish we knew if there was a happy ending.

"Why, you can just feel it," someone says. But there are earlier signs of illness, which may come before we 44feel bad." Some of these signs are lack of appetite, sleeplessness, loss of weight, unexplained bleeding and the like. On the other hand, a good appetite is one of the signs of good health. The desire for food is one of our basic drives. Hunger comes naturally, the same as one is apparently born with the _ drive to survive, to be somebody (ego), and to ex­ press sexuality. We don't teach babies to be hungry. They do it naturally. There is a spiritual par­ allel. In Matthew 5:6, Jesus said, "Blessed are they which do hiftger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Persons with a good appetite for what's right in life will find an answer. Just as a hungry person looks for food, so a person with an appetite for good will seek it. In a sense, Jesus was saying we are as good as we want to be. We can be filled with good things, assuming we get hungry enough for them. Unfortunately, our spiritual appetites are often dulled. We are satisfied with crumbs and leftovers, and there's no wonder we wind up being ethical infants. A sustained loss of appetite should lead us to see a doctor. A drop in spiritual appetite should cause us to make an appointment with the Great Physician. He's the one who promised, "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst" (John 6:35). „ R. J.
