You And Your Pet By Raymond A. Minor, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories No matter how carefully you protect your pet frogn street traffic, there may come a time when your cat or dog is hit by a car or truck. If such an incident does oc­ cur, your first reaction would be to take your pet to a veterinarian for treatment. Without a doubt, this is the proper step to take so that you may get an accurate diagnosis of the severity of the injury and receive the appropriate treatment. However, in some cases there are several things you should do for your pet immediately following an accident, before moving him to the veterinarian. It is extremely important that you approach an injured dog or cat very cautiously, speaking constantly in a reassuring voice. Remember, if a pet is in pain and afraid, he may even bite his owner. A bandage muzzle made from a strip of cloth, or perhaps a necktie, if nothing else is available, can make handling of your pet easier. Slide your pet carefully on to a (dank or board, a blanket or your coat and carry him gently to a quiet spot ~ perhaps your car - where you can examine him with no onlookers. This should keep him from becoming too excited or causing further injury to himself. If your pet's leg appears to be broken, try to keep it as straight as possible. If you see that the bone has broken, at­ tach a stick as a splint. Tie the splint above and below the break. This will prevent the joint on either side of the break from cutting a blood vessel if the pet moves or attempts to struggle. Bandage the splint to the leg firmly but not tightly. The bandage must be loose enough to allow permanent blood circulation to continue. T)he HJotty. Cli inic Check your pet to see if there is a cut or a gash. If there is, place a wad of cloth over the wound and hold it in place with a bandage. In a leg injury, you should start bandaging at the foot and work upward. Remember to apply the bandage firmly but still loose enough to allow blood flow. If your pet's head has to be bandaged, you should carefully wrap two turns around the neck, again loosely, then carry it between the ears over the head and down by the side of the face. Bring the bandage under the jaw, up over the other side of the face, across the head between the ears to the neck. Repeat this until several layers are applied. Be certain to tuck the bandage to keep it in place. You can be fairly sure an artery has been cut if there is blood spurting from a wound. In this case, haste is essential. Apply a tourniquet (a twisted cloth or anything that is available to cut off circulation) between the cut and the heart. This is not as difficult as it sounds. For example, if there is a leg injury, place the tourniquet above the wound on the leg. The tourniquet should be loosened every ten or fifteen minutes or the blood will be stopped altogether, causing gangrene. After experiencing an automobile accident, your pet will suffer from shock. His lips and gums will turn pale and grayish in color. You should be aware that these signs may also indicate that there is internal bleeding. First-aid treatment for shock is to wrap your pet in a blanket or coat. Above all, keep him warm and allow him to rest quiety. Whether your pet appears unhurt or not, he should always be examined by a veterinarian as quickly as possible following an accident as there may be Prof. Robert Ivy deserves a universal salute from all teachers and parents. Horace Mann, Father of our Public Schools, would say he merits a gold star. For he has taught his pupils one of the greatest secrets for lifelong happiness, namely, to verbalize praise for their companions while the latter are still alive! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE M-527: Robert E. Ivy is a school teacher at Anderson, Indiana. Last year he decided to help extrovert his students and thus Offer them specific training in Winning friends. "Dr. Crane," he said, "I launched our 5th and 6th graders upon your Compliment Club project. "And now I am asking you for 62 signed diplomas, for that number actually completed the task of paying 3 sincere com­ pliments every day for 30 consecutive days. "Although I am their science and math teacher, I feel that noticing and being kind to others is very important. "So 1 offered an 'A' for this science project if they faith­ fully completed it. "This is by far the largest group that I have had thus far who successfully completed this experiment in Applied Psychology. "Since school will be out by the time your signed diplomas reach me, I shall personally deliver the diplomas to the 62 children in their homes." HORACE MANN'S MOTTO Robert Ivy warrants an Anderson Joins Others To Halt Discrimination Congressman John B. An­ derson (R-Ill) has joined with a group of midwestern House Republicans in signing a letter to President Nixon urging the President to take action to end unfair discrimination under the present oil import quota system against independent oil ter­ minal operators. T h e R e p u b l i c a n s acknowledged the necessity to evaluate thoroughly the existing and proposed national energy policy in order to preclude future fuel shortages, such as the one which has hit the Midwest so hard this winter. The letter stated: "The Republican party and this Administration should take a stand whenever possible for the encouragement of small business and fair competition. We should take positive action whenever possible to eliminate discrimination and the ap­ pearance of favoritism...The present oil import quota system fails to serve these ob­ jectives..." Led by Anderson, the third- ranking House Republican, the legislators told the President that under the present quota system, "...there is no 'eligibility' for any in­ dependent, non-refiner marketer..." with the exception of independent deep water terminal operators in District I (the East coast). "This discrimination in favor of the integrated marketer and in favor of the East should not be perpetuated." internal injuries that you may not be aware of. > Dr. Minor regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. all INCOME TAX SERVICE DAILY SINCE 9 to 9 1955 385-4410 •Fast and efficient service •Year around assistance •Computerized Returns •Individually Verified We have been doing tax service work in this area for 18 Years, with a full * 'time staff, working year around to assist our clients.

For he may have changed the entire lives of those 62 pupils so that they will be happier, more successful in their careers, and much less likely to suffer from divorce in later life. Alas, most of us habitually are so concerned with SELF that we greedily try to win praise instead of passing compliments to those deserving folks around us. Our natural egotism makes tjs wish to monopolize the social spotlight! It thus requires deliberate training before we learn to curb our selfish hunger for the limelight and thus bolster the ego of our companions. This "Compliment Club" project can be started even at kindergarten level, for the earlier we become adept at it, the more happiness we shall Meanwhile, too, we'll win far more popularity and social acceptance. Robert Ivy thus would merit the supreme praise from the father of our Public Schools, namely, Horace Mann, if the latter were still alive. "Be ashamed to die," stated Horace Mann, "until you have won some victory for humanity!" Robert Ivy has con­ structively altered the entire future outlook of those 62 pupils who have now become habituated to paying sincere compliments. He has really injected the Golden Rule into the daily activity of those 62 children. For the "Compliment Club" merely asks each member to look for merits or virtues in our associates and then pay them a bit of honest praise thereon, while they are still alive and can be inspired to renewed good works. Compliments are thus "verbal bouquets" which we can bestow on the living, in­ stead of waiting till their funeral and then lavishing an extra large floral wreath on the casket! How many children ever think to give their mothers a compliment before rushing off to school? How many husbands likewise verbalize a bit of praise for their devoted wives, whom they usually blame for everything that goes wrong? So send for my "Compliment Club Booklet," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus Draft Responsibilities Remain In Illinois "Even though draft calls have ended, young men,in our state will still have respon­ sibilities under the law. The Selective Service local boards will continue to function," Dean S. Sweet, state director of Selective Service, has an­ nounced. Sweet said that the Selective Service act will still require young men to register at age 18 and that local draft boards will continue to process some of these young men in order to have a "readily available pool" in the event of a national emergency. Sweet added that this standby role for Selective Service becomes effective without the requirement of any new legislative action by Congress. The state director said that the standby role for Selective Service would result in a reduced level of operation across thecountry. He said that the current year's budget for the system on a national basis would be curtailed by as much as 34 percent in the upcoming fiscal year. Assuming approval of these funds by Congress, a 20 cents, and launch your entire family on this inspiring project! substantial reduction in the number of paid Selective Service employees will be required. The total reduction will be from approximately 7,300 employees nation-wide to 4,300 employees. "These reductions must be ac­ complished nation-wide by Dec. 31," Sweet said, "and the reductions will result in uniformly reduced staffing levels for aU states." Sweet said that it would be necessary to reduce the number of Selective Service employees in Illinois from 290 to 184. However, he pointed out that normal attrition would take care of many of the necessary reductions and that every effort would be made to assist those employees of the system who face termination to find other federal employment. In order to provide con­ tinuing service to registrants, Sweet said that most of the states will be collocating many of their local board ad­ ministrative sites so that the clerical duties can be handled by fewer employees. "Local boards are still being main­ tained and local board mem­ bers will still be deciding classification requests," Sweet added. "Although the ' - I \ •• collocation of local board sites may cause registrant* communicate over greater distances in order to contact their boards, almost all board sites which formerly were open on a part-time basis will be replaced by collocated boards which will be open for business during normal working hours on all working days of tftl " ' ' * .
