Unfortunately, this survival gear is also used around the house, with less pleasant cohsequences for draperies, carpets, upholstered chairs and, occasionally, people. Scratching is an instinctive act for a cat. You cannot train him to stop. One possible solution to this problem is to provide your cat with a definite place to scratch- -scratching posts are readily available in pet stores--and then lead him to it at every opportunity. But even when the cat has been taught to use his/scrat­ ching post and the • Jjjabit of doing so is well established, there will be times when he will go elsewhere to do his scrat­ ching. The hazards from clawing can be minimized by regular trimming of a cat's nails- perhaps as often as every two weeks. Since cats dislike having their feet handled, the trim- ming chore can prove hazar­ dous. So it is advisable to consult your veterinarian before attempting to do the job yourself. A cat manicure is made more difficult by the fact that a cat's claws are retractile: capable of being completely sheathed or extended as conditions warrant. When a cat is resting, the claws are drawn back into their sheaths; when they are needed for climbing, fighting or catching a prey, the claws are drawn forward by tendons. Dogs also need to have their nails cut periodically. The frequency of the clipping depends on how fast the dog's nails grow and how far he wears them down in normal usage. The more activity the dog has, the less frequent will be the need for cutting his nails. Long nails can be as troublesome for the dog as they are for you. A long nail can get caught and be pulled off. Or the nail may curve back and press into his toes causing pain and even lameness. Most puppies dislike having their nails clipped. So a dog owner like a cat owner, would do well to have his veterinarian clip the nails at first while he watches and learns. -"If you do the job yourself, be careful to cut only the tran­ sparent part of the nail that extends past the foot pad. If you Five Trees Per Person To Be Pbnted In 1973 PAGE 5-PLAJNDEALER-WEDNE SPAY, JANUARY 3/ 1973 During 1973, almost a billion small trees, or five for every American, will be planted in the nation's forests, according to American Forest institute. The gigantic planting replaces trees that have been harvested or lost to fire, insects or disease. More than 1.3 million acres are expected to be planted this make a mistake and cut into the quick, place a piece of gauze or cotton against the wound until the bleeding stops.

He recommends that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. fall and next spring, according to AFI estimates. Over 200,000 additional acres are expected to be- aerially seeded by helicopter-4S well, with ap­ plications ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 seeds per {acre, depending on tree species. Even this huge reforestation total is dwarfed by nature's own continuous natural replanting via seedfall scat­ tered on the winds. AFI said the big planting effort is carried on mainly because foresters are too impatitent to wait for nature's leisurely pace in getting trees back into the ground again on valuable timber-growing land. AFI said every man, woman and child in the United States will have used up a tree by the end of this*year-a fairly big «»tree, about 100 feet tall and 16 inches in diameter and yielding about a ton of wood. That is the current annual U.S. per capita share of wood fiber that goes . into tissues, newspapers, school books, furniture, houses, food packages and thousands of other products. * • In pulp and paper alone, according to AFI, each citizen is currently using 570 pounds a year, 10 times the amount of individual wood use in 1900." The tree-planting Effort is helping maintain the nation's forest base of 759 million acres- -a forest area "still 75 percent as eat as when Columbus lan- led. AFI said the balance between growth and removal is "in the black" on these lands, with growth exugeding harvest and natural looses combined by a substantial volum& The Institute* added, however, that abo|l a third of that forest land'fbase-248 million acres-is s6t aside in parks, wilderness and other restricted areas or is not suited for growing commercial timber. As population grows, intensive forestry practices such as the current tree- planting effort will have to be continiied and expanded to assure maintaining the present one-tree-per-American annual harvest level. AFI pointed out that government and industry tree planters are committed to long term projections. Trees being put into the ground will be harvested in years 2000 to 2037 to provide Americans with hbusing and other requirements. LAST LETTING HELD Apparent low bids totaling more than $24 million were received last week in the last letting of the 1972 road program which includes both interstate and non-interstate projects. AWARDED GRANT - An $88,000 contract, the first of its kind in the nation, has been awarded by the federal Environmental Protection agency to the Illinbis Depart­ ment of Public Health to design, test and implement a project to measure radiation exposure to residents. All sources of ionizing radiation, both natural and man-made* will be studied, Dr. Franklin D. Yoder, department director, said. Project Officer Philip Brunner, chief of the depart­ ment's division of radiological health, said the purpose of the project "is to assess radiation exposure received not only from traditional sources such as medical x-ray equipment and industrial facilities, but also from less clearly defined ^sources, such as occupations hot usually associated with radiation; variations in radiation exposure from brick, frame or multistoried housing, and from electronic products."
