Wanted: Dog Or Cat At Raleigh County Shelter
About 18 dogs await fate at Raleigh County Animal Shelter with four to be euthanized Saturday. The shelter handles roughly 5,000 dogs and 1,500 cats yearly, after a five day hold period for owner reclaim. Caretaker A C Aten Aten, Urap Urcnard notes the stray population includes many home strays and some that never knew homes, posing hazards on roads but potentially making good pets or hunting dogs. He advocates humane dispatch for stray animals to prevent starvation and hazards, while acknowledging the value of cats for pest control. Only about one of the 100 dogs jailed at the shelter typically finds a home within five days. He fears public demand for daily counts but supports a home-placement feature to reduce executions. The Register plans to list shelter totals but faces neighbor phone-call demands. (See Animal Shelter Page 2).

New Eligibility Check Set For Aid Recipients
State Welfare Commissioner W Bernard Smith announced a new eligibility review for relief recipients based on an 11 month Kanawha County study by 14 Charleston doctors. The report found one third of 329 aid to dependent children and aid to the disabled recipients were not eligible for further grants with 116 people having 404 dependents not meaningfully disabled and averaging a mental age of 11 to 12 and seventh or eighth grade scholastic ability. The study also identified 106 recipients with impairments hindering employment, and Smith aims to reduce this group through added medical aid and new work training programs.
