RETIREMENT IN COMPANY Constable Barber, of Heading, England, had a dark, and lonely beat — Whitley Wood. An Airedale dog was attached to the police statioTi, so Constable Barber took the dog with him each night for company, and to guard his cycle. They became great pals both on and off duty, even after Whitley Wood had become a housing estate. Then Constable Barber retired. But 'he did not want to lose his pal. He ;lfiked the Reading Watch Committee to allow the dog to retire also. The committee liked this thought for the animal. /They recommended that Barber should be allowed to keep the dog, and ;he town council adopted the recommendation.
