Up For Adoption
This beautiful three-year-old pure-bred samoyed named
“Bruno”, isn’t too fond of cats, but loves children. He is
loving and playful, and needs a family who will love and care
for him. He gets along well with other dogs, and has been
neutered, and has had most of his shots. For more informa
tion about Bruno, and other dogs and cats, contact Donna at
475-1784 or 887-6480.

Defending Animals
Forsyth County
Humane Society
The following is taken
from In Defense of All Ani
mals, by Richard Calore.
“A neighbor phoned me,
saying that he wanted to get
rid of some kittens. I replied
that I would take the little
animals and that, should I
not be able to find suitable
homes for them, I would then
bring the little creatures to
the veterinarian and have
them painlessly put to sleep.
I said that I would pay for
the services of the veterinar
ian. He became furious.
“You’re a murderer and you
have no right to take the
animal.” (This is one of the
tragic aspects of humane
work. These sentimental
people are blind to the stark
realities.) At any rate, my
neighbor refused to give me
the kittens. What he did in
stead was cruel and horrible.
He took them out to a field
and simply left the little
creatures in a box. He felt
that someone would pick
them up and find homes for
them because they were “so
very cute.”
Much cruelty results from
well-meaning but short
sighted people who, by some
incredible stretch of the
imagination, actually bring
themselves to believe that
someone will take care of
animals. There is no use
reminding them that mil-'
lions starve and are killed in j
various horrible ways, be- j
cause logic and common
sense do not enter into the
thinking processes of such
individuals.

Alpharetta
Alpharetta has been
named as the site for con
struction of a parts distribu
tion and training center for
American Honda Motor
Company, Inc.
The center will measure
300,000 square feet, and will
be built at a cost of
$10,000,000.
Construction of the center
will begin next spring. Hon
da’s present distribution
center, in Norcross, distrib
utes parts to about 600 deal

states. The Norcross center,
measuring 200,000 square
feet, also includes Honda’s
regional sales and service
executives.
HOT PANS, COLD
WATER
Don’t run cold water into a
hot pan. Cold water can
warp a metal pan and crack
glass and earthenware.
One of the surest methods
of reducing the deserting of
unwanted animals, leaving
them to fend for themselves
and die, is by a program of
breeding control. You can
prevent suffering and nee
dless death by having your
pet spayed or neutered and
by encouraging others to do
the same. You can also help
by letting people know that
“dumping” is wrong, cruel
and that you do not approve
of it. If logic and reasoning
don’t work, maybe embar
rassment will.”

Luckhurst To Aid
Arthritis Foundation
When the NFL season be
gins again, Mick Luck
hurst of the Atlanta Falcons
wants to be sure that all his
kicks count, both on the field
and off.
Luckhurst has announced
a unique program to score
points against arthritis, a
disease that affects almost
one million Georgians of all
ages-one in seven people,
one in three families.
Luckhurst’s project is
called “Kick With Mick.” He
has pledged SSO for every
field goal he kicks this year
to benefit the Arthritis foun
dation, and he is asking fans
to join him by pledging any

Linda H. Pruitt of Jasper,

been named coordinator for
the 1983 Conference of the
National Association for the

(NAEYC). The announce
ment was made by the
NAEYC Board following its
summer meeting in Denver.
The 1983 conference will be
held in Atlanta, with head
quarters at the Atlanta Hil

participants attended the
1979 conference in Atlanta.
NAEYC is the largest profes

35,000 members.

Last year as a rookie, he
kicked 23 field goals.
“There is no cure for ar

Foundation is finding an

speaking at the Falcon train
ing camp in Suwanee. “I
can’t do enough by myself,
so I’m asking the Falcon
fans to help take a “kick” at
arthritis.
Luckhurst and the Arthri

one who makes a tax-deduct
ible pledge is eligible for a
drawing of special donated
prizes, such as tickets to
every Falcons’ home game,
dinner with Luckhurst at a
Peasant resturant and auto

is necessary to be eligible for
these prizes.
“Too many people still
think that arthritis is only
minor aches and pains,”
said Luckhurst. “In fact, it is
the country’s most crippling
disease. Arthritis is serious
it forces some people onto a
permanent disabled list.”
Luckhurst is serious too:
“If I had arthritis you
wouldn’t see me on the foot
ball field. We all know some
one with this desease, a
friend, a neighbor, a loved
one. Now we can make life
better for them.
