Newspaper Page TextAverage Consumer Debt In County $1,400 Per Family New York, May 25 - To what extent have Butts County residents been mak ing use of the large amount of installment credit available to them? How much do they owe at the present time on the cars, washing machines, dish washers, furniture and other equipment they have been purchasing? Somewhat more than they did a year ago, the latest figures indicate. It reflects the fact that families, locally and elsewhere, were more expansive in 1973 in their spending for high-price goods, thus adding to their installment debt. Nevertheless, they have kept it within bounds. Because their incomes are higher than they were a year or two ago, they are in a position to carry a larger GOOD ATTENDANCE URGED AT CHAMBER MEET A meeting of the Butts County Chamber of Com merce, Inc. for Wednesday night, June 12th, was expected to assemble many members and prospective members at Sue’s Restau rant, with the meal being a Dutch treat.

Inflation has been a drawback, however, mak ing it harder for families to come up with their monthly payments. According to the latest Federal Reserve Board re port, installment debt in the United States now totals $147 billion, which is $19.2 billion more than it was a year ago. In Butts County, based upon the average earning and expenditure picture locally and upon national credit reports, the install ment debt locally is esti mated at $1,400 per family. That is the average, equivalent to about 16 cents to every dollar of income, after taxes. Some families owe much more than this and others owe little or nothing.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA estimated $4,413,000. This takes into account loans for automobile pur chases, credit for the purchase of other consumer goods, personal loans and loans for home repair and modernization. Not included are mortgage debt, charge accounts and single payment loans. With repayments taking $1 out of every $6 or so out of the average family’s net income, they amount to approxi mately slls per month per Butts County family. Nationally, according to the American Bankers Association, the percentage of delinquent loans has been rising. Their latest report shows 2.69 percent of them more than 30 days past due, as compared with 2.53 percent at the same time in 1973. ARTHRITIS HURTS L I j PAIN IS VERY REAL to 18-month-old Karen Herrera. The toddler, who wears leg splints to prevent crippling, is examined by Dr. Ronald Saykaly at the arthritis clinic of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The Arthritis Foun dation says there are 250,000 children in the U.S. who are victims of arthritis. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories “He’s a bad dog, stay away from him.” Although people often refer to “good dogs” and “bad dogs”, a dog’s temperament is not just a matter of good and bad. It is the result of many factors, some of which can be predicted. It is known that there are certain inbred characteris tics affecting a dog’s tem perament. It is also known that a dog tends to inherit certain responses from its parents. The Chow Chow, for example, is generally a one man dog. It is reserved, suspicious and indifferent to strangers. It has a will of its own and is not recommended to a home where children are present. The Poodle, on the other hand, is usually a perfect family pet, especially if children are around. This breed of dog is affectionate, even-tempered and very obedient. One way to learn more about this complex subject is to discuss your dog’s breed ing with the veterinarian at the time of purchase. This will help you to gain an understanding of the dog’s capabilities to socialize. The average dog buyer is looking for a pet that can safely join his family and be a companion especially for children. A nervous dog is not a good companion for children, under almost any circumstances. A dog that is moody or has a vacillating temperament is potentially dangerous as it may not be able to take playful abuse without retali- lift By Raymond A. Miner, D. V. M. ating. Temperament —and safe ty are not governed by the size of the dog. A serious dog bite can be inflicted by a small Boston Terrier as well as a large Doberman. In fact, there are no breeds in which “bad apples” have not been encountered. In determining tempera ment, there are several unfavorable signs you should look out for during the dog’s initial period away from mother and littermates: overly nervous reactions to the new situation; indiffer ence to new home and Commissioners Statement For County Expenses For May 1974 5-6 1513 Georgia Highway Express, Inc., Road ... $ 28.06 5-7 1514 Supreme Sales Cos., Inc., Sheriff 24.13 1515 Bearden Auto Parts, Road 48.53 1516 Atlas Products Cos., Road 352.95 1517 Southern States Ptg.

Illness, accident or psychic trauma may also affect a dog’s temperament. Even you, the new owner, may be a bad influence on what may have started out as a pleasant pet. Clearly, unless you happen to be an expert, don’t attempt to train your family dog to be an attack dog. Most dogs, even the gentlest, are protective when the need arises. Don’t permit your children to encourage aggressiveness with too much rough play. Sometimes this gets out of hand. Then a dog will bite out of excitement. The relationship between family, dog and children is precious. It’s worth taking any steps to ensure its success, and your veterina rian is available to help. 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.
