Dogcatcher In Palm Springs Lands Odd Week
Palm Springs dogcatcher William Mueller has spent a year corralling not only dogs but rodeo steers and wandering burros. He rounded up a mountain lion misidentified as a shepherd dog, freed a cockatiel, removed a desert fox from a trap, fished a canal crane from a pool, untangled a bird from a power line, and disposed of numerous snakes. Dogs give him the least trouble.

The Olympic Portland Cement Co in Bellingham, Washington, and the United Cement Lime and Gypsum Workers International Union reached a new contract, raising the rate to 16 cents an hour for 27 plants, with an 11.5 cent wage increase and a 3 cent job brackets revision.
