Gordon Has
Hempstead
Scholarship
BARNESVILLE A me
morial fund scholarship
program in honor of the late
Mr. S. Wayne Hempstead of
Thomaston has been estab
lished at Gordon Junior
College.
George Hightower, Sr.,
president of the Gordon
Junior College Foundation,
said the scholarship program
for nursing students was
established by the family and
friends of Mr. Hempstead in
recognition of his many
years of service as chairman
of the board of the Upson
County Hospital Authority.
“Mr. Hempstead was an
outstanding and beloved
citizen and civic leader in
Thomaston. It seems very
appropriate that this scholar
ship be established to help
perpetuate the nursing pro
fession,” Mr. Hightower
said.
Dr. Jerry Williamson,
president of Gordon, said the
memorial contributions are
being invested and the
interest will be used to fund
several nursing scholarships
each year. “We are very
appreciative of this new
scholarship,” Dr. Williamson
said. “Our nursing program
is expanding quarterly and
this will certainly benefit
many of our students.”
Mr. Hempstead served as

GUINEA PIGS AND
HAMSTERS-ARE
RODENTS GOOD PETS?
Guinea pigs and hamsters
are very popular pets with
children. They are inex
pensive, clean and easy to
care for.
The guinea pig is the larger
of the two and is most active
during the daytime. An alert,
docile animal about eight
inches long that comes in
short and long-haired vari
eties, the guinea pig has a
characteristic low whistle
and no tail.
Hamsters are less than
half the size of guinea pigs.
They are most active at night
and have short, stumpy tails.
They are best known for their
habit of stuffing their
expandable cheek pouches
with food, and then storing
the food away under bedding.
New hamster owners some
times become fearful when
they see their pet’s face
swollen to double its normal
size. However, as soon as the
hamster feels no one is
watching, it will empty the
contents of the pouches in a
corner of the cage, and the
“mumps” rapidly disappear.
Both hamsters and guinea
pigs will thrive on com
mercially pelleted rodent
chow supplemented twice a
week by fruit, vegetables or
greens. Dry dog food will
serve as an acceptable
temporary pellet substitute.
Diets composed entirely of
mixed bird seed are not
satisfactory and may lead to
constipation or vitamin de
ficiencies. The supplement of
fresh greens and fruit is
especially important to the
guinea pig because it cannot
manufacture vitamin C in
ternally like most pets.
Without a steady supply of
vitamin C in the form of
cabbage or other greens, the
guinea pig will develop
scurvy, a disease that once
plagued sailors on long ocean
voyages. Signs of scurvy in a
guinea pig include bleeding
gums, unsteady gait and
reluctance to walk.
Besides the proper food,
your hamster or guinea pig
will need a constant supply of
clean, fresh water. A hanging
water bottle that dispenses
only a drop or two at a time is
good investment. Many ro
dents do not drink well from
a dish -and may catch
pneumonia from walking
through it.
When you choose housing
for these pets, remember
that guinea pigs and ham
sters are strong for their size.
Provide a latched doorway or
a top heavy enough to
prevent the pet from nudging
it off. Many rodents, espe
cially hamsters, escape from
converted aquariums by
climbing up water bottles or
large exercise wheels.
All rodent cages should be
lined with absorbent materi
als like wood shavings or
crushed corncobs. These
materials absorb surplus
moisture and aid in keeping
the pet warm and dry.
Despite their sharp front
teeth, guinea pigs and
hamsters rarely bite and are
rapidly tamed by frequent
handling. Since hamsters are
so small, childen must be
taught how to pick them up
properly. The safest way to
pick up a hamster is to treat
it like a ball. Put your palm
over its back and curl your
fingers softly about the body.
A guinea pig can be carried
with one hand under the
stomach and the other
supporting the hind legs.
Because a rodent’s teeth
grow throughout its lifetime,
short lengths of hard wood
should always be in the cage
for your pel to gnaw on. If
you do not allow your pet to
wear down its teeth, the teeth
may overlap and cause
difficulty in eating. It is not
common for hamsters to
gnaw on cage bars in a
determined effort to keep
their teeth at the proper
length.
Rodents have few medical
problems when the basic
needs of food, water, and
proper housing are filled.
However, since their normal
life span is so short, three to
four years at most, it is best
to buy a young animal --
about eight weeks old - if you
desire one for a pet.

Hints To Save
Energy Given
In Booklet
Sure, you turn the heat
down to save energy when
you go to bed But getting up
to turn it back up in the
morning is a bear. Have you
considered getting a timer
for your thermostat? It will
turn your heat down at night
and back up before you get
up in the morning. A timer
can save you energy and
money on your heating bill.
And cold toes. To learn more
energy saving ideas, get a
copy of the free booklet, Tips
for Energy Savers. Send a
postcard to the Consumer
Information Center, Dept.
591 E, Pueblo, Colorado
81009.
If your window had a
five-inch square hole letting
in cold air, you’d fix it, right?
Well, you may be letting in
that much air if you have an
eighth-inch space around
your outside door and no
weather-stripping. That’s
costing you a lot of money. If
you really want to save,
weather strip your windows
as well. You’ll be warmer
and your bills will be lighter.
Want do-it-yourself ways to
save energy? Get a copy of In
the Bank or Up the Chimney.

Been up in your unheated
attic on a cold day? If you
weren't really cold, you need
more insulation. Most home
heat that is wasted is lost
through the attic. You need
at least six inches of
insulation so you’re not
heating the outside. And in
some areas of the country,
you need more. To figure out
how much insulation you
need, whether you need
storm windows and doors,
and how much all this will
cost. get a copy of Making the
Most of Your Energy
Dollars. It's 70cents from the
Consumer Information Cen
ter, Dept. 65 E, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
Paying electric and gas
bills is easy. You just read off
the amount due and pay it.
Those other numbers all over
the bill are really only for
meter readers. Do you
handle all your bills this
casually? Chances are. with
other bills you check to see

that you are paying for
something you got. Should
you do the same with your
utility bills. For a free copy,,
