CAT RETRIEVER: This peculiar-looking apparatus is a unique piece of equipment variously called a cat rescue pole, or "cat retriever." A stray or marooned cat lodged in some tree needs only to cling to the sheepskin loop at the end of the pole to effect a safe rescue from the upper regions. Students at Angell School are actively participating in the Ann Arbor Humane Society's current drive to raise funds for equipment, such as the cat pole, to outfit the proposed new animal shelter. Students shown (left to right) are Gale L. Slater, 9, of 1232 Washtenaw Ave., Phillis A. Austin, 8, of 1317 Geddes Ave., Rollie Leeds, 6, of 1438 Washington Hgts., and Randy White, 6, of 2409 Vinewood Blvd.

Angell School Girl Scout Troop 120 is shown making dressing for the Ann Arbor Cancer Information Center which in turn gives them free to cancer patients who need them in the Ann Arbor area. The Scouts are one of 40 local groups who make dressings. Among the groups are the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, which last year made more than 5,000 dressings. A total of 50 patients were aided last year. The center also operates a loan closet which loaned items ranging from blankets to an oxygen mask to 20 patients last year. Mrs. Francis Wessinger is dressings chairman, assisted by Mrs. J. Gordon McDonald. The Ann Arbor Unit of the American Cancer Society is conducting a $7,000 fund drive here this month.
