Hi, Ed, I'm a volunteer at the Ewing Township Animal Shelter and we are in dire need of donations. I‘m asking all your readers who are animal lovers to find it in their hearts to donate. We can use paper plates, plastic spoons, cat food, dog food, and mother's milk for orphaned baby kittens. We would greatly appreciate any donations. For more information, call the shelter at (609) 393-9608.

This is refreshing — not a mention of "gimme money." But I also have to ask why paper plates and plastic spoons? I get the dog and cat food, but plastic spoons? Are we calling the kittens to the table and helping them develop the opposable thumb?
