D.V.M Manager of Veterinary Services Nor den Laboratories i Bv Robert L Stear. D.V.M.) WELCOMING A SECOND PET There may come a time when a pet owner decides to get a second pet If you decide to take the plunge. don't be discouraged by predictions of constant pet battles, or the first pet "forgetting" its toilet training as a result of jealousy Despite what some people say, two or more animals can peacefully coexist in the same household, if a little care is taken in bringing them together First remember that young animals get acquainted quicker Pregnant, NEEDHELP?

When you acquire the second pet, make sure that you pay special attention to the first One of the primary reasons animals in the same household don't get along is jealousy Don't make your old pet feel that he is now a second-class citizen " Continue to take him for his own walks, and pet him the same as before It's also a good idea for each pet to have its own food bowl Not only will you be able to insure that the new pet is eating well, but your old pet will maintain its sense of security Probably after they have been together for a whiie. they will eat from each other's bowls, but it's not a good idea this soon If possible, let each pet have a private corner for a retreat Nothing is more aggravating for a mature cat than to have a strange kitten or puppy con­ stantly chasing and biting her tail or feet She should have a spot where she can relax un­ disturbed This will also help maintain your pet's sense of security One final step that should not be overlooked is a visit to the veterinarian for your new pet Even if your first pet is vac­ cinated against the more serious diseases, it could still pick up a variety of skin in­ fections or intestinal worms from a new animal that has not been cared for properly. <Dr Stear 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 ) Painting For Rotary Club tmmmm wmm : • • PPt S 5ri< SH mm f7 - silil m Jack Kelsey, right, accepts beautiful painting entitled Merimbula eleven Rotarians from Bega.

But the chemical poisons used to kill them can be just as harmful-to the air. the water, and to people There is a safer, more natural way to control insects, according to a new publication from the National Wildlife federation. "Fighting Pests With Pests '--available free for the first copy and a small charge for each additional copy--is designed to show children why more and more farmers in the United States are using the natural enemies of pests, instead of harmful chemicals, to help protect their crops This new method is called "pest management" and relies on the "three P's"--insect predators, parasites, and pathogens "Someday, pest management may make most poisons unnecessary." the eight-page illustrated pamphlet suggests Included in the National Wildlife publication is a chart that lists thirty-four common insect pests and natural ways to control them For example, chinch bugs can be kept away from com by planting soybeans nearby as a "trap plant."
