Medical Care Checklist
loull want your puppy to be
protected against the most serious
puppyhood diseases, distemper and
infectious hepatitis. So your first
duty after getting him should be
to take him to the veterinarian for
his shots and check-up if he hasn’t
already had them.
Puppy serum may be started
when the puppy is six to eight
weeks old. The
permanent vac
cine is given at
four to five months
after the second
teeth have come
in. There is no\v
an effective anti
rabies vaccine
which immunizes
your dog for one
year.
Good feeding and cleanliness are
also basic precautions against dis
ease. A healthy young dog will
throw off infection more readily
than one that is sickly and under
nourished. An appetizing dog food
like Hunt Club Burgerbits is an ex
cellent way to provide your puppy
with all the nutrition he needs.
Make sure his feeding pan and
water bowl are washed daily.
Spoiled or rancid food should never
be kept available.
A thermometer is a must for
every dog owner. Your dog's tem
perature should be taken whenever
you think he is not up to par. A
puppy, or even a grown dog, will
often run a temperature with no
outward signs of sickness. A dog’s
temperature is taken with a rectal
thermometer. His normal temper
ature is 101 to 102 degrees. If the
reading is 103 or higher for any
length of time, the veterinarian
should he consulted at once. If
treatment is started early, your
dog will have a much more prompt
recovery.
There are several other instances
when a veterinarian should he con
sulted :
• One warning signal is persist
ent vomiting, especially if accom
panied by a high temperature.
• Diarrhea may be the start of
distemper or a sign of worms.
• Convulsions are another sign
of danger.
• Many skin disorders — conta
gious mange, ringworm, eczema
and dandruff-require early care to
prevent spreading.
Puppy’s medicine chest should
contain a thermometer and milk of
magnesia. Epsom salts are useful
for soaking injuries or infections,
and boric acid is necessary for
washing the eyes. A disinfectant,
a healing ointment, cotton and
bandages are used for treating
open wounds. Aspirin aids in low
ering a high temperature or to
quiet a nervous dog.
However, unless you are treat
ing your dog for a superficial
wound or a very slight upset, no
medication should he applied with
out the advice of the veterinarian.
Keep in mind that the wrong treat
ment can be more injurious than
, no treatment at all.

Fide! Castro Stages
Dramatic TV Show
Before Invaders
By Claude E. Erbsen
KEY WEST, Fla. UP! — Fidel
Castro Thursday staged a mara
thon harangue before nearly 1.000
1 captured rebel invaders in a dra
matic Cuban television show in
terrupted once by an apparently
accidental burst of gunfire.
The Cuban Prime Minister ap
! neared momentarily startled when
a guard’s weapon discharged.
Then, he raised his arms over
I his head, urged the large Havana
Sports Palace crowd to remain
calm and said: “Don’t anybody
move. Everyone put their weapons
where they belong.”
Minutes after the unexpected
interruption, Castro continued
his long political and economic
lecture to a captive audience seat
ed in bleachers and guarded by
soldiers armed with automatic
rifles.
“You all thought you were going
to be assassinated, didn’t you?”
Castro asked.
“Yes,” the prisoners roared
back.
“Instead,” he said, “you have
been treated politely.” Most nod
ded agreement. Last Sunday Cas
tro had strongly indicated the
prisoners might face the firing
squad.
After Castro spoke of the dan
ger of American aggression
against Cuba, several of the pri
soners excitedly grabbed micro
phones and pledged to fight off
any attack. The rest of the pri
soners roared their approval.
At one point Castro was asked
by one of the prisoners if his
government was “completely
Communist.” He shouted back:
“The Cuban people have a right
to a Communist government if
they want one. Ours is a social
ist government.”
Castro’s public appearance,
only the second since the April
17 invasion, climaxed a five-day
parade of captives before Ha
vana’s TV cameras.
Each prisoner stood and gave
his name and hometown. The
television audience was asked to
search the sea of faces and tele
phone in if they recognized any
of the prisoners as “criminals of
the dictatorship.”

Legislative (Council Embarks on a Study
r *
Of Stale and Local Revenue Sources
By Ward T. Sims
Associated Press Staff Writer
JUNEAU UP — The staff of the
Legislative Council has started
what could be one of the agency’s
most important undertakings.
The council's staff, at the
direction of the 1961 Legislature
j has embarked on a comprehensive
| study of every facet of state and
i local revenue sources.
John C. Doyle, executive direc
1 tor of the Legislative Council,
said his entire staff will, in the
j months ahead, spend at least
| some time on the study, which
! will be guided by Donna Spragg,
a specialist in state financing.
Doyle said the Legislative
Council has obtained the services
of Dr. John Sly of Princeton Sur
veys, Princeton University, to act
as a consultant for the project.
The Legislative Council staff,
in delving into state and local rev
enue sources, will have 10 pri
mary objective, it will make
analysis of:
1. The overall tax structure of
the state.
2. Each current state and local
revenue source.
3. Taxpayer equity and general
tax policy in relation to the over
all economy of the state.
4. The revenue situation of ex
isting and potential political sub

divisions and the relationship be
tween state and local revenue
sources.
5. Revenues available from
natural resources, such as the sale
of lands and leasing of mineral
lands.
6. The impact of payroll taxes
on the overall tax structure.
7. The need for clarification of
existing revenue statutes.
8. The impact of special pur
pose dedications of revenues.
9. The significance of non
business privilege license taxes.
10. The possibility of develop
ing new tax and revenue sources.
“We want to know what taxes
we have, how they came into
being and how they are working
out,” Doyle said.
Doyle said any recommenda
tions dealing with the state’s tax
structure will have to come from
the members of the Legislative
Council, an interim study group
composed of members of the Leg
islature.
The findings of the Legislative
Council staff will probably be
presented to the council itself
sometime late next fall.
With a complete picture of
state ar.d local taxes at hand, it
\yill be put up to the council to
determine if present taxes are
adequate for ensuing years and if
present taxes are equitable.
The council’s recommendations
and the findings of its staff will
be submitted to the 1962 session
of the Legislature.
