AVAR VET AND PONY ON TRIP TO
CALIFORNIA PASS THROUGH
COUNTY SEAT.
Fred Allinger, 41 years old, a World War veteran, and his small j black Shetland pony, Peanut, were visitors at Towson one day this week. They are en route from Boston to Atena, Cal, Allinger's home.
The pony came into Allinger's possession through' the death of a buddy. The two had fought together during the war in France with the Twenty-eighth Division. Both were wounded and were sent

to the Chelsea Hospital in Boston.
The pony, he said, was used at the hospital to drag Allinger and his crippled friend around the grounds on an improvised cart. Following numerous operations, in which 169 switches were made, Allinger was discharged* several weeks ago.
He was required to use crutches and the Government wanted to send him home by train, Allinger said. Unable to get transportation for the pony, he purchased a small four-wheeled carriage and started for home.
He reached Towson after being on the road 20 days. He expects to reach home within 100 days.
Allinger has rigged up the cart with electric lights for night driving. He also carries a camping outfit, but says he has spent most of his nights at farmhouses. He is without funds other than what he earns sell- \ ing spools of cotton, needles and other notions.
On the dash of the carriage he has a small bank for donations.
Allinger said he has had no difficulty in obtaining food for himself and his pony since they left the Boston institution.
Leaving he went to Washington and then will go south, he said. He feared to cross the mountains, saying the steep hills would require too much work of Peanut.
