HOW YOUR
VETERINARIAN
DIAGNOSES YOUR PET
How is your veterinarian
able to tell what is wrong
with your pet? He makes a
diagnosis as a result of three
distinct forces that helped
make him the understanding
professional that he is. First
is the formal training he
received in veterinary
school. Second is the medical
and surgical equipment he
uses equal, in many ways,
with that used in treating
humans. And the third area
is more difficult to define;
it’s his many years of
experience in observing and
treating pet diseases.
Medical advances are so
rapid in the area of animal
and pet care that veteri
narians must read and study
constantly. It has been
estimated that five years
after graduation, half of what
the veterinarian learns in
school is outdated.
When your pet becomes ill
and you take it in for an
examination, you may notice
that your veterinarian uses
his senses to help him make
an accurate diagnosis. He
will look over your pet
completely and may then
listen for sounds, using a
stethoscope. Even the sense
of smell can be helpful in
detecting abnormal odors on
the animal, such as uremic
odor of the breath, which
could indicate a kidney
problem. Asa further aid,
the veterinarian may use
special instruments to check
the pet’s ears, eyes and
throat.
After examining the pet in
this manner, your veteri
narian may have accumu
lated enough evidence to
determine the cause of the
Birth Certificate.

problem. If the diagnosis is
not clear, more tests will
need to be made at this point;
several diseases cannot be
distinguished from one
another on just history
and physical examination.
These are numerous tests
which your veterinarian may
schedule in order to deter
mine the exact nature of your
pet’s problem. Radiographs
or x-rays are helpful in
detecting broken bones as
well as changes in the
internal body structure
such as an enlarged liver or
kidneys or the appearance of
a tumor. Chemical tests can
determine diabetes in cats
and dogs. A complete blood
count (CBC) is sometimes
the surest way of making a
positive diagnosis. And an
electrocardiogram can de
tect heart problems in pets as
it does in humans.
New surgical and physical
techniques and new drugs for
prolonging pet lives are
constantly being discovered.
This is the result of the
combined efforts of research
ers, veterinary practitioners,
veterinary schools and phar
maceutical companies. Re
search is going on in every
phase of animal health
covering the scope of
diseases contagious and
inherited congenital de
fects and the various
disorders that pets are
susceptible to.
Your veterinarian has
spent many years preparing
to treat small animals. His
intense formal training, his
broad experience and the
medical and surgical equip
ment he has on hand are all
there to help restore family
pets to good health. So when

Kiwanis Pancake Supper
Slated For February 24th
The Jackson Kiwanis Club
has scheduled another Pan
cake Supper for Tuesday
evening, February 24th, in
the Jackson Primary School
Cafeteria. The famous pan-
toms closely. Be prepared to
give detailed information to
your veterinarian over the
telephone, if necessary,
before going in to his office.
Even though your dog or
cat seems to be in the best of
health, veterinary examina
tions are worthwhile every
three months for a puppy or
kitten and once a year for the
grown pet. An older pet with
less resistance to ailments
and disease should be
checked twice a year. These
periodic examinations will
detect problems in the
earliest stages so that proper
treatment can begin.

cakes and sausage will be
served from 5 to 8 o’clock on
an “all you can eat” basis as
in the past.
Maurice Sears, chairman
of the Pancake Supper,
invites the public to join
Kiwanians on the 24th for the
best pancake supper avail
able anywhere. Tickets will
be $1.50 and may be
purchased from any member
of the Kiwanis Club.
Jack Little, president of
the Kiwanis Club, states that
the funds derived from the
pancake supper will be used
for youth service projects
such as Girl Scouts, Boy
Scouts, and other worthwhile
projects, so you will not only
be enjoying a good meal but
will be helping the Kiwanis
Club to carry on their many
varied projects.

H Herman Talmadge
ONE OF THE high points in the President’s State of the
Union message was a proposal for tax incentives for private
business and industry in order to encourage expansion and new
development that will create more jobs.
Although the Administration has not yet sent to Congress
details on this program, there is a great deal of merit in the
concept. I have always maintained that the best answer and the
most permanent solution to social and economic problems
created by unemployment or under-employment will be found
in the creation of more gainful employment.
And, in my judgment, the private sector of the economy is
much better equipped to handle this problem than government.
Institutional job training, for example, such as that generally
offered by government agencies has fallen short of the goal of
putting people into gainful employment and very often has had
people training for nonexistent jobs.
Private business and industry, on the other hand, is aware of
its present and future employment needs, and can offer not
just training but an ultimate job as well.
* * *
THE PRIVATE ECONOMY, in the final analysis, is the*
answer to unemployment and poverty that is aggravated by
joblessness. Neither tax funds nor government “make work”
programs will relieve the unemployment problem on any last
ing basis.
For example, there are approximately 8 million people un
employed. If government were to give each of them a job at
only $5,000 a year, that would cost S4O billion and be added
to the $74 billion we already have as a deficit this fiscal year.
The tax incentive approach is not new. In fact, I am author
of a program that allows reasonable tax credits to individuals
or businesses which hire welfare recipients, train them for a
job, and put them in the productive tax-paying stream of our
economy. Reports indicate that this program is working in areas
where it is being implemented.
I would like to see its operation expanded as much as possible
and I am also hopeful that Congress will enact new programs
to stimulate growth in private business and industry which, in
turn, will take people off welfare or unemployment rolls and put
them on payrolls.

Notice To Property Owners
i
1. A motion for rehearing in the Georgia Supreme Court in
in the Butts County Tax Case was filed on February 6, 1976.
2. An appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court will be filed in the
event a rehearing is denied.
3. Judge Sosebee’s ruling, that based on the complaint, the 1975
tax digest is not legal has not been reversed (but the Supreme
Court only ruled that the complaint must go through the
Board of Equalization before Judge Sosebee can consider it.)
4. The complaint is now in the Superior Court on appeal from
the Board of Equalization (and we expect an early trial and
disposition.)
5. The 1975 tax digest, we believe and are advised, is not uni
form, equal or legal (and we will continue to seek relief and
resist the payment of these taxes until a digest is determined
to be legal and proper after a full trial.)
