V COCO RESTING photo by Laura DoSVarta \Dog Days\ an: the way the ancients described the kind of weather wc have been having recently - hot and sticky weather which makes you and your dog pam for breath and swrch for a cool place to lie down and cool off. The ancient Egyptians and Romans arc said to have named that period after Sirius, \hc dog star (Canis Major). The star then rose at the time of the year when the wcl, •humid weather reached .their lanU-ipte briUiam star now ' rises at a different limc and hemispher, so the original name doesn’t apply her and now. Bill, \D o g bays'* sticks in our m inds attached to remembered scenes of summer when our pel dog, his tongue hanging out, dripping saliva, sought his pan o f water under a shade tree.* He was obviously \dog-lircd\ o f the heat, and did the only sensible thing, stopped running around, and rested during the hot part o f the day. (Humans take note!) The ancients also connected the so-caUed \dog days” as a time when dogs were likely to go mad from rabies, because ; o f the b e a t ■ ; Aaually, according to present day experts, dogs are less likely to get rabiw ui Jiot weather than in cold. And all local dogs should have bceii vaccinated against rabies, a local , veterinarian says. ' However, extreme heat and humidity can make some, people \go mad.” It seems to raise the level of irritability, especially ^ o n g car drivers, and those who have to tolerate the unpleasanmcss o f commuUng these days. We can only counsel what we learned from Southerners :ycars before mr-conditioning put them in almost the same, mode we arc in; cool indoors, hoi on the run to the car, then cool in office or store. In those days people learned to relax and enjoy \the jgood ole summertime.”. A lazy snooze in the hammock; under a shade tree, an icy rhinl julep (gb easy on the alcohol in hot ■ weather), a sprinkler o r pool nearby, or kids splashing at an open fire hydrimt. . .

Memories To The Leaden' i was so pleased with the articlc in The Leader , of . Thursday. June 21, entitled ' “Stadium Lament\ by Fred Haget As an old, tesideni of Lauireitbn in Queens during the 30's. I have many recollections of some of the highlights of Hager’s baseball remembrances. In regard to his.comments on semi-pro basebaU games in Freeport Stadium, we were steady \knothole kids’* at the Springfield Gra)^ stadium in ' Spring-Gardens. U was located right by (he Long Island Railroad tracks. Hundreds of kids would ^ on the eim ied railroad-embankment along . the left field line to. watch the games oyer the fence.
