My employer insists on pacing me in cash because it's "better for both of us." When he is short of cash, I get a partial payment or have^to wait a few days,'sometimes to the next week's pay day. This situation has gotten worse to the point he owes me three weeks back pay. Now I would like to quit to look for a better job but he threatens not to pay me for the back pay and for my vacation. Is there any way I can get the money which is owed me? Yes, your employer is in violation of the Wage Payment and Collection Act and may be in violation of Internal Revenue statutes. Employers may pay in cash, but are required to keep records of names and addresses of all employees and of wages paid each payday , and to furnish employees with itefnized statements of deductions made from wages for each pay period. In ad dition, if your employer pays you weekly, he is required to pay you not later than 7 days after the period in Which it is earned.

I am unemployed and would like to locate the unemployment office in my area. Can you help me? Your phonebook is the best YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. St ear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Service* Norden Laboratories " / * : . By Robert L. Stear, D.V JML. Dietary Deficiencies Many pet foods are ad vertised as complete foods or balanced diets for cats or dogs, and they probably fill the nutritional needs of post household pets. However, some pets have special dietary needs; young animals, those recovering from an illness, pregnant pets and some others • have nutritional requirements that differ from the healthy adult. -! -- Your veterinarian is the best person to consult about your pet's diet. He or she can determine whether the food you feed your pet provides balanced nutrition, or requires additional supplementation. A properly balanced pet diet should provide about- a dozen basic vitamins. If one or more of these essential vitamins is missing, the pet could be in poor condition, and may lack energy. Certain medical problems may also develop, depending upon the specific vitamin deficiency. Eye infections and reproductive problems occur , when pets are fed foods low in vitamin A. Cats may also show a serious weight loss, with some weakness in the hind legs. Pet foods that are improperly stored or rancid can quickly lose their vitamin A content. Vitamin D, in combination with calcium and phosphorus, is necessary for proper bone development. It may be lacking in kittens and puppies born during the winter who are kept in dimly lit quarters. Vitamin D-deficient pets will develop bowed legs and weak bones. The term "vitamin B" describes a group or complex of related compounds, rather than a single chemical. The primary signs of vitamin B deficiency include lack of appetite, anemia and various nervous disorders. Most vitamin B supplements generally .contain £ b^od of the major viteiftin B factors. Cats are more susceptible to vitamin E deficiencies llhan dogs. Felines develop a Con dition called steatitis or "yellow fat disease" in which the fatty areas of the cat'5 body become inflamed.
