Residential, Commercial, Industrial. New or Old Work 775-5775 R. A. COBB Licensed by the State of Georgia Manager of Veterinary Services v Norden Laboratories A Pet overpopulation is fast becoming a serious problem in many communities. The responsibility of caring for these ever-increasing num bers of animals rests, to a large extent, on the shoulders of the community’s humane society. To give these animals the best possible care, veterinarians and com munity humane organiza tions are working closely together. This cooperation results in a system for dealing with the total animal population that is practical and ethical, as well as humane and medically sound. The humane movement in the United States dates back to the Civil War period when there were no laws for the protection of animals. At that Barnesville To Have "Buggy Days" Festival on September 21-27 Butts County’s neighbor to the southwest Barnesville is planning a gala week-long festival during the week of September 21-27. The festival derives its name from the fact that Barnesville was once the largest buggy works in the South. In fact, Barnesville was often referred to as the “Cincinnati of the South” because of its tremendous buggy output. Barnesville became synonymous with buggies and horse drawn carriages. The Barnesville Buggy was the outgrowth of the business genius of Jackson G. Smith and George Summers. Start ing in 1886 with a buggy repair shop, the business eventually flourished into two separate buggy works. Both known for their business acumen and phil anthropic activities, the two men had a great impact on the eventual economic and cultural development of Barnesville The week-long festival is sponsored by the Bames ville-Lamar County Cham ber of Commerce. The calendar of events for the September 21-27 fete is as follows: 4 |il|i Ingenious Triumphs Of Chemistry GOOD NEWS ABOUT SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES BETTER TASTE, NUTRITION, SHELF LIFE What does a human being have in common with a scram bled egg? Both are made of chemicals. In fact, everything in the whole world indeed in the entire universe is com posed of chemical compounds. The additives found in the foods we eat are also made of THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1975 time, livestock were trans ported across the continent in railway cars, without rest or food; dogs and cats roamed city streets; horses drawing carts and carriages were publically abused; and the river and burlap sack were a common means of disposal of unwanted animals. In 1866, Henry Bergh founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York City. Today, there are approxi mately 1,100 animal welfare agencies in the U.S., most of which receive regular visits from veterinarians. A veterinarian who prac tices in a humane shelter helps to prevent and control infectious disease, a major problem when many animals are housed together.

In many cases, addi tives are simply substances found naturally in food, added to enhance flavor or color, or as a preservative. But even when additives are man-made, they are carefully tested for whole someness and purity. What ever the chemicals added to >’’ '' '' veterinarian also provides for the total needs of the animal population. Since most of the pets in a shelter have an unknown or in complete health history, the humane society veterinarian doesn’t know if and when vaccinations were given. So he sees that incoming animals are carefully examined for parasites, bodily defects or signs of infectious disease, and ino culated to assure future protection against the major dog or cat diseases. All adoptable dops under one year of age are vaccinated for canine distemper, and all adoptable cats are vacci nated for feline distemper. In well-managed shelters, pets are fed a balanced diet, kept clean and comfortable and isolated until examined. The shelter tries to avoid an “assembly line” approach to handling the pets. This helps both the lay and the medical staff to recognize individual cases of disease and min imizes the opportunity for an infected animal to leave the shelter undetected. These methods, now in use by many humane shelters across the nation, are providing that infectious disease can be controlled effectively in the shelter.

In short, they are great benefits to the con sumer. isolated from animals not ready for adoption. No sick dog or cat finds its way to the adoption ward. A healthy pet that develops signs of disease is promptly removed from the adoption ward to assure that the pet you bring home from the shelter will be a healthy one. The humane society offers many non-medical services, too. It picks up and holds roaming animals and inves tigates cruelty complaints. The adoption service, of course, is the best known service provided by humane societies. Most people who go to the shelters are looking for a family pet who may not be a purebred animal. In recent years, the fuzzy, appealing cocker-poodle crossbred puppy has become a popular candidate for adoption. The veterinary profession and the humane organiza tions have much in common. Each has its special task in the field of animal welfare: the veterinarian diagnosing and prescribing the treat ment and conservation of the animals’ lives; the humane organizations working for the protection, relief and com fort of the animals. In this way, the veterinarian and the humane organizations share a common purpose in preserving the life, health and general well-being of animals of all kinds.
