Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional BY REV. J. C. PARHAM Pastor, Towaliga Baptist Church ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DESK Many years I attended school as a pupil before I became a teacher. I found that the life at a teacher was different from wha 11 presupposed. It makes a difference when we sit where they sat. As I write these words, I have received five units of blood in preparation for surgery. Many times have I donated through the years a pint of blood not thinking much about its worth or potential. Today I’m more appreciative of blood and blood donors than ever before. It is necessary to life. Without blood there is no life. I’m also aware of my dependence on others as never before. Through others sharing their blood, I’m regaining my strength. At this Lenten season we think of the shed blood of Christ that can make the sinner whole. ‘The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day and there may I though vile as he wash all my sins away.” He, Christ, died that men might live spiritually. Many times have I read with a pa tient the 23rd Psalm before going to the operating room, but never has it had greater meaning for me than before going myself. ‘The Lord is my sheperd” - He will go with me through the valley. All I know todois to place myself in God’s hands and in the doctor’s hands. That is all any of us can do at anytime, anywhere, is place ourselves in God’s hands. This is walking by faith with God. “He is our refuge and strength.” “Lift up your eyes to Him from whence cometh help.” Hew do people get along without God? How do they live without friends? How de pendent we are on God and on others! Hospital Cook Books Popular The Silvan Grove Hospital Auxiliary Cookbook “Our Daily Bread,” is fast becoming a collector’s item in Jackson. The $2.50 recipe book has been selling at a fast pace with many business houses already having sold out. Orders for the cookbook are still being taken and persons desiring the book may contact any Hospital Auxiliary mem ber or the following stores: Jinks Cash Store, Hodges Ace Home Center. Shields Jewelry and Brookwood Beauty Salon. Should any one of these businesses be sold out, ar rangements will be made for the purchaser to secure a cookbook. If enough interest continues to be shown in the books, anew shipment will be ordered in the near future. Money derived from the sale of the Cookbooks goes toward patient care at §ylvan Grove Hospital and toward scholar ship awards. The applications for these scholarships will be taken from seniors at Jackson Christian Academy, Indian Springs Academy and Jackson High School and is offered to those seniors who plan to further their education in the medical field. The scholarship is open to either boy or girl. Persons desiring to order through the mail may write Mrs. C. W. Shields, Bax 115,128 East Third Street, Jackson, Ga. 30233 and enclose $2.50 for each copy and add 35 cents for postage and handling. Those requesting copies of the book are asked to please print their name and address to insure shipment of the requested copies. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Webster’s Dictionary defines “allergy” as an “exaggerated or pathological reaction to substances,situations or physi cal states that are without comparable effect on the average individual.” As many pet owners know, the “individual” may be a dog as well as a person. In fact, it has been estimated by veterinarians that 10 to 15 percent of all dogs - roughly the same percentage as in the human population - may be subject to allergies. Your dog may be allergic to a number of things. If his allergy causes a skin condition, it may be traced to something in his home or neighborhood: dust, pollen, a plant or flower or chemicals in the soil. The allergy may reveal itself as inflammation, swelling about the face, itching, scaling of the skin or loss of hair. These are also symptoms of other skin problems. So your veterinarian will have to decide whether or not your dog’s problem is caused by an allergy. All dogs can have fleas. But while some have no serious reaction to these pesky parasites, other dogs can be extremely allergic to them. Some experts believe the allergic condition is not from the flealtself but from the flea saliva. Whatever the exact cause, once the allergic problem has been diagnosed by your veterinarian, fleas are nor mally easy to get rid of, and the allergic reaction will disappear along with the fleas. Fleas only come to your dog to eat. For proper control, your premises should be sprayed with insecticides. Parasites also cause condi tions called canine sarcoptic mange, which causes itching, and demodectic mange, whose signs include redness of the skin, swelling and loss of hair. Sarcoptic mange is normally easy to treat by your veterinarian. Demodectic mange, which usually occurs in young dogs, less than a year old, is more difficult to treat. It is caused by a tiny mite called * ★ * MOBILE HOME SALES Did You Know?

Minor, . demodex. Many normal dogs with no skin disorder pick up demodex mites at one time or another. As with many human allergies, research has not yet shown why the parasite multiplies in certain dogs to create a severe allergic reaction, while most dogs are not affected. Some dogs are allergic to bee stings. Signs of this allergy may include difficulty in breathing, swollen lips and face, general discomfort or restlessness. If your dog reacts in this way, you should call your veterinarian immediately. Some allergies strike at particular breeds of dogs. An example is “collie nose”, medically called nasal solar dermatitis, an inflammation of the nose aggravated by repeated pawing and exposure to sunlight. Collie nose normally strikes only collies, Shetland sheep dogs and mongrels having Shetland or collie blood. Signs of this allergy in addition to inflammation - include bleed ing and loss of hair around the nose. Allergies are more prevalent during the summer and fall. As with other skin problems, there is not much you can do about it yourself, though you can attempt to relieve your dog’s discomfort with calamine lotion or mineral oil. Effective treatment should be left to your veterinarian. 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. BUYING KNITS When buying knits, keep these tips in mind from Margie Mclntyre, home economist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service. Firm, compact knits wear better than those that are loose and open. A double knit holds shape better than a single or plain knit. For pants, choose compact knits—they won’t bag or sag.
