Bedingfeld composes music
for Christmas presentation
A 21-year-old Griffinite who
has been composing music
since he was 8-years-old will be
featured in Gordon Junior
College’s annual Christmas
production on Dec. 9,10, and 11.
Randy Bedingfield, son of the
Rev. and Mrs. Warren
Bedingfield, of Griffin has
composed a musical number
that will be performed by the
Gordon Singers and Concert
Choir in “Christmas with the
Singers” scheduled for 8:15
p.m. in Alumni Memorial Hall.
“Psalm 150" is a song of
praise using the words of the
Biblical passage and exem
plifies the Christmas spirit of
Gordon’s production. It is only
one of many compositions
Bedingfield has created, but the
first he hopes to have published.
“I composed a short piano
piece when I was eight, and
wrote an orchestral piece for a
symphony when I was 10-years
old,” Bedingfield said. He
began playing the piano at the
age of six. Since then he has
written a piece for a string
quartet, a sonata for flute and
piano, a septet for wing quartet
and string trio, and seven-fold
Amen response that was
performed at Gordon’s
graduation ceremony last year,
and several piano pieces.
“Psalm 150" was composed
at the request of Lanny
McAlister, Gordon’s music
director, specifically for the
Christmas production.
Bedingfield dedicated the
composition to McAlister and
his wife, Gayle.
“The Gordon Singers are
well-trained musicians, so I
didn't limit the difficulty of the
piece at all,” Bedingfield said.
"Mr. McAlister directs it with
the same feeling 1 have for it.”
Bedingfield says he plans to

University system
enrollment drops
ATLANTA — Enrollment in the University System of
Georgia this fall (125,269) decreased slightly as compared to
last year, but last year was “unusual,’’ Chancellor George L.
Simpson Jr. said.
Although enrollment decreased 2.9 per cent as compared to
last year, this year's total generally follows the trend line
established prior to 1975, Chancellor Simpson explained.
“The 11.4 per cent increase of 1975 was unexpected and
caught us all by surprise,” he added. "We were suspicious of
this unusual growth at the time and did not expect it to
continue in future years.”
Although no one is certain what caused the unusual in
crease last year, several theories have attributed it to
various reasons. One of the more popular ones is that the
scarcity of jobs led many youngsters to go to college, when
they would have preferred working if they could have found a
job; another is that many veterans enrolled to take ad
vantage of the G.I. Bill, which was expiring.

Do flea collars really work?
By DR. H. P. JANS,
D.V.M.
Copley News Service
Q. Our cocker has worn a
flea collar for some time, but
we still notice he scratches,
and we have even occasional
ly caught a flea on him. A
friend told us that flea collars
are not really effective. We’d
like to know your opinion. —
J.M., La Mesa, Calif.
A. The flea collar remains
the cornerstone of any flea
and tick control system,
giving ongoing protection
against parasites. However,
it does nothing to stop the
breeding of fleas in and
around the pet’s environ
ment. Unless a full systems
approach is taken to the prob
lem, the insects will keep
coming back to reinfest the
pet. The flea only stays long
enough on its host to get a
blood meal; the female then
lays its eggs, either on the
animal or, more commonly,
in the pet’s living quarters.
The eggs hatch and become
larvae — whitish, legless
creatures which develop in
cracks, crevices, carpets,
cushioned furniture and other
warm, dark places. The
larvae then enter a cocoon or
pupae stage and finally
emerge as full-grown fleas in
a process that may take any
where from a month to a
year.
A complete flea control
system combines rapid
action insecticides with
slower, longer-lasting
measures to establish imme
diate control of fleas and pro
vide continuing protection
later. For instance, in the
animal’s quarters, a kennel
insecticide spray may be
used to kill the initial infesta
tion of fleas and to penetrate
into cracks and crevices
where the pests breed. An
insecticide fogger may be
used to kill fleas and ticks in
festing the house. Outside
periodic use of a product such
as Lawn and Kennel Dust
from Lambert Kay will give
long-range control of fleas in
the area surrounding the
suburban home.
For control of fleas on the
animal itself, flea and tick
shampoo, or a flea and tick
dip, may be used to treat
severe infestations.
Q. We are caretakers of a 2-
year-old male cockapoo who
was seriously injured when 4
months old. Before he was
housebroken he was bedrid
den for six weeks and did all
his eliminations in his bed.
Now fully recovered, he still
urinates on any standing
object in the house. We have
tried everything including
diapers. Any suggestions? —
C. M., Somerville, Ohio
A. The urination and leg
lifting habits of the mature
male dog are largely con
trolled by the male sex
hormone. The dog is stimu
lated by odors to mark his
“territory,” even if it hap
pens to be in the house. To the
male canine, the odor of his
own urine is perfume, and he
will cover other odors with
his own odor.
One effective way to elimi-

nate this objectionable leg
lifting and odor in the urine is
to neuter the dog. This opera

hormone which is responsible
for the territorial urge.
