YARD DOG OR
HOUSE DOG?
Hints for Picking a
Suitable Pet
If you're thinking about
owning a dog, it’s a good idea
to decide beforehand how the
pet is going to fit into your
household. First ask your
self, “Do I want an indoor or
an outdoor dog?”
In answering such a
question, a major factor is
the size of your home. For a
small home or apartment,
terriers, small poodles and
many of the smaller mixed
breed dogs are ideal. Their
short, often curly hair has
little tendency to shed when
seasons change, and two or
three short outdoor walks a
week will be sufficient to
keep them in good physical
condition, assuming they are
not overfed.
Personality is just as
important as size. If your pet
will share a small home with
several children, a calm,
even-tempered disposition is
a great asset. Bulldogs,
basset hounds and beagles
fill the disposition -and size
-- requirements.
You may well meet
someone whose German
shepherd or St. Bernard is
happy and well despite living
constantly indoors. But this
is the exception that proves
the rule.
Large dogs need consider
able amounts of exercise to
be at their best physically.
They require a large outdoor
area to roam in. Unless you
have the good fortune to live
in a rural area, this play area
should be fenced in. Even the
best trained dog may forget
all he’s learned about traffic,
particularly if a female in
heat is across the street. It
would be tragic to lose your
pet in a traffic accident
because you were reluctant
to curb his freedom.
A fenced-in area also
safeguards pedestrians by
clearly defining your dog’s
property. A fence reduces the
chance of a passerby getting
nipped for unknowingly tres

There are many forms of
allergies and individuals
may be allergic to one thing
or many. One of the most
common disorders is being
allergic to some particular
food, or combination of foods.
Very often someone is only
mildly allergic to certain
foods and this will not show
up unless two or more of the
foods are consumed.
It's these strange circum
stances which makes aller
gies hard to identify. This is
. the reason that extensive
testing is very often required
before a person’s allergies
can be identified. The
definition and treatment of
allergies is a complex
medical science.
Compounding medicines is
another complicated busi
ness...one that we know best.

passing.
Both indoor and outdoor
dogs need a place to rest
when family activity be
comes too annoying. For the
indoor dog, a cardboard box
or blanket in a quiet corner of
the living room will do.
Children should be taught not
to disturb the pet when he has
retired to his retreat.
A shelter for the outdoor
dog must serve two purposes
-a retreat from too much
activity and protection
against adverse weather. A
permanent outdoor shelter
should be at least the length
of the adult dog and wide
enough for the dog to turn
around. The structure should
be leak-proof, with the
bottom raised off the ground,
and the entrance turned
away from the prevailing
wind. In really severe winter
weather, only adult dogs with
heavy coats should be
expected to stay outside for
extended periods. Their
shelter should be insulated
with tar paper, and have an
entrance protected from
wind and rain. A thick lining
of newspaper and a flap of
material at the door will help
conserve the pet’s body heat.
If you intend to buy a dog
for a specific purpose, it is
wise to investigate the
characteristics of specific
breeds. Large dogs are not
always instinctive watch
dogs. Many large breeds,
including the Irish setter, are
naturally friendly toward
family and strangers alike.
On the other hand, dogs
small enough to fit into a doll
bed or carriage may resent
the attentions of a child and
snap readily. To help you
make your decision, you may
want to attend a dog show,
getting an opportunity to see
a variety of fully grown dogs.
Whatever you decide,
remember a healthy dog has
the best chance of making a
good adjustment to anew
home and family. Make sure
your pet has a thorough
examination by your veteri
narian soon after he joins
your household.

Carter - Paddling Big Winners
In Henderson Mock Election
Henderson Elementary
School was booming with
excitement this past week as
Ms. Gantt’s and Miss
Luckie’s sixth grand class
held a mock presidential
election. These teachers felt
the students needed to
become better informed as to
each candidate’s platform as
well as gaining experience in
the process of voting.
Miss Gantt’s class was in
charge of the campaigning
and poster, signs, and cheers
for each candidate were
made by the class. These
cheers, signs, and posters
could be heard and seem by
all throughout the week.
On Tuesday, Ms. Gantt’s
class videotaped a political
campaign program in the
library. Two members of the
class, Randy Meredith and
James Thurston, were elect
ed to represent Jimmy
Carter and Gerald Ford.
Each candidate spoke five
minutes.
After each speech, cheers
were made for each candi
date by one half the class for
Carter and one half for Ford.
The entire elementary school
was able to view the program
over the antenna system in
the school on Thursday,
before the election on Friday.
Miss Luckie’s room was in
charge of the election. Every
student, along with Miss
Luckie, was dressed in red,
white, or blue. Each class
member created an election
hat with his own design and
wore them on election day.
Sashes were made and worn
to let the voters know the
responsibility of each.
The school was divided into
four districts. The students
grade level served as their
district numbers four
through six. Teachers, aides,
principal, secretary, and
custodians composed Dis
trict 7.
At the first of the week, the
students were given the
opportunity to register to
vote. Any absentees were
asked to register any time
before election day. Before
each voter was ushered to the
polls, they were instructed to
number off in groups of
three’s.
Two registrars, Ron Las
sister and Pamela Stodghill,
were stationed at the
classroom entrance. These
children made sure everyone
who voted was a registered
voter. As each student
entered the polls, they were
given a ballot.
District helpers assisted
the voters as to what booth
they were to line up in front
of according to their number,
other students were stationed
around the room to assist any
voter who was unsure as to
what he was to do. After
voting, they placed their
ballot in the correct district
box.
The ballot had three places
that had to be marked. The
voters had to mark their
district, their choice for
president whether it be Ford,
Carter, or a write in
candidate, and vote on an
amendment. They were to
decide if paddling was a good
measure for correcting be
havior and check yes, no, or
undecided.
On Friday, students were
not only excited about the
election but were eagerly
awaiting the arrival of the

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1976
Monkey Man- Uncle Randy
Rivers. He interviewed
several students asking them
how they voted and why they
voted the way they did. He
also got their opinion on the
way they felt about the
amendment.
He played these interviews
on WJGA Radio on his
Friday and Monday show
between 4-6 P.M. The
students were also thrilled
and enthusiastic over having
pictures taken by several
high school students, sent by
Curtis Gaye, on voting day.
With all districts having
voted, Carter was the victor
by a landslide. There were
678 registered voters and 628
voting in the election. Ford
received 71 votes, Carter
received 546 votes, and there
were 6 write-in votes.
On the amendment, 345
voled “yes” for paddling, 146
voted “no” and 86 were
“undecided”.
It was a great day and
Henderson Elementary had a
successful election.
