Show Page Two The Springville Herald July 1, 1976 IMIIIiua uimmmim i u ,MauuullwuWUiMliOMIWtMWOTMI tsw 'Cannery Rov comes to life a turnout ntni N John Steinbeck said it this way: "Cannery Row is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality qual-ity of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream ... and it could be the most beautiful place in the world." And then one day in 1951, the sardines vanished. That same year, the Westgate-Sun Harbor Cannery and Warehouse Ware-house Co. burned to the ground, the third largest food factory fire in U.S. history. Then Flora Woods, she of the heart of gold, died and was buried in her red wig. A still sadness settled over the row like a cold Pacific fog and it passed from life to legend. There is life again on the row today. Life of the kind that so often swoops down on legends when they become big enough. Souvenirs anyone? The row now teems with curio shops, art galleries, restaurants, parking lot attendants, at-tendants, pubs and craft stores.

And the place must seem pretty crowded with the ghosts of Mack and the Boys, Doc, Lee Chong, and Flora and her girls. But they still linger here. Doc's "Pacific Biological Laboratories" is the most humble structure left on the row, an aging wood building with rickety stairs leading up to its front door. Surprisingly, it is one of the few buildings on the row that has not been turned into some kind of commercial com-mercial enterprise. Across from it is a dirt parking lot, and strollers down the row who are familiar famil-iar with Steinbeck's "Can-, nery Row," wonder to each other, "Is that the vacant lot where Mack and the Boys slept?" It is. And kitty-corner across the street from the lab is the Wing Chong (Steinbeck called it Lee Chong) Grocery Store, which once sold everything every-thing from saddleblankets to cheap whisky. It is now an antique store. Well as long as they had to do it to the place, they did a good job of it. The restaurants restau-rants are excellent and the cuisine is international. (But not many dishes from around the world can beat the delicate deli-cate Monterey squid.) We met friends for cocktails cock-tails in "China Row." They said: You can't miss the I place. When you walk inside, it looks just like Hong Kong. A poor point of reference. None of us has ever been in Hong Kong, but the minute we walked inside, we all said "This place looks just like Hong Kong." We walked down to the Ward to sponsor July 5 breakfast A flag ceremony and breakfast break-fast will be -sponsored by the Springville Third Ward the morning of July 5. The ceremony will begin at 7 a.m. Pancakes, eggs, sausage and hash browns will be served. The breakfast will be held in front of the church lawn. The Springville Second Ward, 451 S. Main, will hold a Fourth of July breakfast July 3 beginning at 6:30 a.m. Everyone is invited for all the pancakes they can eat. The menu will also include eggs, bacon and choice of juice or milk.

POINTS ON PETS , Why do dogs howl at sirens? By DR. H. P. JANS, D.V.M. Q. Why do dogs ululate when they hear a fire engine siren blow? My poodle, Joy, joins the neighborhood chorus when she is outdoors and hears a siren wailing. She has an almost coyote-like utterance ut-terance that she never uses any other time. Also, she is 21 months old and apparently got her growth the first year, but lately she is looking taller, tall-er, maybe an inch. Could she still be growing? Mrs. B.B.M., Corpus Christi . A. Your first question is somewhat difficult to answer precisely, but this common behavior -is apparently related re-lated to the sensitivity of dogs' hearing to high-pitched sounds. Dogs hear and react From beach blanket jamborees to countless county fairs you'll find sights and sounds worth saving ...

County fair tryouts Resident interested in competing in the Utah County Fair community talent competition should contact to frequencies higher in range than human beings. The answer to your second question is no. Her skeletal structure reached its maximum maxi-mum development at about 12 months of age. Perhaps she is gaining weight and adding back fat, thus making her appear taller. Q. We have a problem with our 7-month-old female kitten. kit-ten. Whenever we allow her outside, she climbs up the highest tree in our yard and can't or won't come down. We have a hard time bringing her down. Now we have to keep her indoors, never allowing her outside. She is climbing all over, even up and down the drapes, and she sits on the cornices. She is also chewing C71 Gerry Duncan, 489-227. 1140 Hillcrest Drive. Talent auditions for the junior division. 15 and younger, will be held at the Springville Museum of Art on Aug. 3.

Group numbers are also encouraged, said Mrs. Duncan. . up the house plants. Can you help us? Mrs. J.L.E., Cincinnati, Cin-cinnati, Ohio A. Cats love to climb trees, yet I have never seen a cat that couldn't or wouldn't come down if given time to learn how to do so. If this is your sole reason for keeping the cat inside, then let it go out and it will soon learn to come down as well as climb up trees. In densely populated areas, there are many other problems prob-lems that cats can get into if running free outdoors, so it would be best to confine your cat indoors exclusively, to avoid problems. To make her a more desirable indoor cat it would be wise to consider onchectomy (declawing) of the front feet, at least, as well as an ovariohysterectomy. In so doing, the cat is more desirous de-sirous of remaining indoors. It can no longer climb drapes and tear upholstered furniture. furni-ture. The cat will still have the ability to jump up on cornices, window ledges, shelves, etc. You might consider con-sider creating a shelf for her that's close to a window where outside activity can be observed. As for eating plants, your veterinarian can "list the plants dangerous to her. As to protecting plants which are nonpoisonous, most people go to hanging baskets. Q. What can I do about the odor and flies caused by our dog pen? We keep the place clean of waste matter, but the odor remains in the ground and draws flies. It is causing a health problem for us and our neighbors. R.C., Springfield, 111. A. Adding gravel or concrete, con-crete, preferably concrete, to the dog pen would be the most satisfactory solution to your problem, over the long haul. This would allow for easier control of waste material..
