...INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. To brighten the season, Santa's Helper Walt Disney presents Tao the cat, Bodger the bull terrier and Luath the Labrador retriever making their way home across 250 miles of rough Canadian terrain, and straight into the affections of the young-at-heart...

Tao, Bodger's best friend, is a maniacally active Siamese cat who seems to think he's a dog. Luath is a big, dumb, blond, delightfully floppy Labrador retriever who pals around with the other...

The scrap-men have also been hurt by five years of sluggishness in steel demand. Scrap prices have dropped from an average $53.50 a ton in 1956 to $28 today, and exports have plunged from almost 10 million tons in 1961 to barely 5,000,000 tons...
