With the president avoiding substantive comments on issues and with few of his key aides on hand the dog is getting the lion s share of the attention. Lucky a 65-Pound flemish Cowherd is being permanently relocated at the presi Dent s sprawling Rancho Del Cisclo about 40 Miles North of Santa Barbara. Reagan told reporters on his flight West aboard air Force one tuesday that Lucky was being moved to the 688-acre ranch be cause that s dog on the ranch he said. Lucky won t have to have a Leash on addition to her usual Frisky tugging at the Leash the dog attracted attention at Point Mug naval air station by having an Accident the kind people have to clean up after while the president tugged her toward a waiting helicopter. Dog Days or not the White House appears to be trying to make the president s six Day Holiday a Low key affair unlike his August vacation when he issued a major decision on International Trade and went horseback Riding for the first time since his july 13 cancer surgery. In August Many of Reagan s senior aides including chief of staff Donald Regan. National Security adviser Robert c. Mcfarland and spokesman Larry speak is. Accompanied him to Santa Barbara.

The president s wife Nancy who left Washington before him to visit her ailing Mother in Phoenix ariz., and make Public appearances in California was expected to join him wednesday. The family will gather for thanksgiving dinner on thursday. The weather is expected to continue partly Cloudy with temperatures in the 70s. Many poor won t Eaf Holiday meal at Home by the associated press As the nation sits Down to thanksgiving dinner tens of thousands of americans without a dinner table of their own will head to Public shelters and Charity Kitch ens for the Best meal they be had in weeks. They Are the homeless families often headed by women who can no longer afford rising rents and utilities unskilled transient who Drift from town to town in search of work the mentally ill released from institutions with no one to look after them. For them thanksgiving is a mixed bless ing providing both a decent meal and a re minder of the Tough Winter Days ahead. Their numbers Are on the Rise in Many cities social service administrators say be cause of an increasing shortage of Low Cost housing depressed economies in some areas and a Lack of Job skills that make it impossible for them to break the Cycle of poverty. New York City s shelters Are housing More people now than they did during the Depths of last Winter said Suzanne tra Zoff spokeswoman for the municipal human resources administration. The 19shelters currently House 7,783 men and women and there Are 3,959 families in hotels and other temporary housing. Last year at this time the City had 6,781people in 16 shelters and 3.227 families in temporary housing she said. At Winter Sworst there were 7,600 people in shelters. I would say in the past few years there has been a significant increase said Jackie Edens a spokeswoman for the Chi Cago department of human services which coordinates about 40 shelters with a total of 1,700 Beds.

People who lose a Low Cost Home need $500 or $600 in Cash to cover deposits for rent and utilities for a new Home she said. A report last month by the Massachusetts department of human services said there were More than 10,000 homeless people in the state with families most of them headed by women making up 75 percent of the total. In Boston where the problem is most acute the mayor s office reported this month that the number of homeless in the City has nearly doubled in two years. The problem is made worse by the re lease of disturbed often elderly people inthe push to get the mentally ill out of institutions. Shelter workers worry about them particularly because they Are the least Able to take care of themselves sometimes refusing to go to shelters even in the bitterest cold. Many communities have police Roundup the homeless when the temperature drops beyond a certain Point. Shelter workers also Are seeing far More women and children than in the past. In san Francisco where the number of homeless appears to have stabilized the unusual find. Is the dramatic increase in the number of women and children seeking Refuge or a hot meal said Jim Buick Deputy director of the mayor s criminal Justice Council. It s the Fumi Bizalion of poverty. A few years ago we would serve about 50 women and children meals he said. Now we serve about 500. We re also seeing lots of women looking for a place to spend the
