TRAVELING WITH
YOUR PET
When your family prepares
for a vacation, the question
may arise, what should we do
with our dog or cat? If your
answer is to take it along, the
going will be much easier if
your pet has been schooled to

Nursing has been for many
centuries one of the most
honored professions in the
world. Nursing should be
honored because it takes a
really dedicated person to
become a good nurse. Many
good women have given their
entire lives unselfishly to the
highly skilled task of provid
ing care for the ill. A nurse is
the doctor’s right hand—he
must depend on her to carry
out his directives concerning
the care of his patients.
Nursing has become highly
specialized over the years.
There are Registered Nurses
and Licensed Practical
Nurses. Each category car
ries with it specified require
ments and duties. Nurses can
choose to enter private or
public fields of nursing—both
have their own rewards.
Nursing is another seg
ment of the wide field of
medicine which centers
around the physician. Phar
macy is another branch of
medicine and you can be
assured that we practice the
art of compounding your
doctor’s prescriptions with
all the care possible. We are
charged with filling every
prescription accurately and
this is our pledge. Let us
serve you.

travel.
Several weeks before your
trip, begin conditioning your
pet to the smell of gasoline
and vinyl. Let your pet
explore the interior of your
parked car while you sit
inside. The next day repeat
the procedure and this time
take your pet for a short ride,
and then a longer one. If your
pet is consistently car sick
after this gradual introduc
tion, you may need to contact
your veterinarian for a
sedative to relax the animal.
On the whole, cats are not
as avid car passengers as
dogs, so be patient in your
training. A cat frightened by
the smell of gas, engine noise
or movement may never lose
its fear of car travel.
Special care is needed
whenever a pet is left alone in
a car. Sun on the windshield
can turn a car into an oven,
and your pet could easily
suffocate. If you must leave,
try to park in the shade and
leave the windows partially
open—just enough for venti
lation, but not wide enough
for your pet to escape. Don’t
leash your dog to the window
or tie him up inside the car,
as he might easily hang
himself.
On long trips, it’s wise to
take a supply of your pet’s
regular food, a jug of water,
towels or clean rags and an
extra leash. For summer
travel, owners of large dogs
sometimes line the floor in
the back seat with damp
towels for the pet to lie on.
Traveling with a pet by
bus, plane or other public
transportation needs special
planning, so call the com
pany in advance of your trip.
Transit companies usually
have regulations regarding
pet travel—including specifi
cations for the carrying case.
The best carriers for long
distance travel have good
ventilation, deep metal cups
for food and water and
dome-shaped roofs so crates
and boxes cannot be piled on
top.
Even if you travel only by
car, your pet should be
accustomed to confinement
in a carrier. It is impractical
to hold a pet, even a small
one, in your lap for long

Thursday Rites
Held For
Mrs. Fears
Mrs. Alberta Pope Fears,
85. of Route 1, Flovilla, died
unexpectedly Wednesday
morning. May 18th, about
five o’clock at Sylvan Grove
Hospital after being admit
ted several hours earlier. She
had been in declining health
for a number of years.
Born April 13, 1892 in
Fitzgerald, Georgia, she was
daughter of the late Mr.
Daniel Webster Pope and the
late Mrs. Elizabeth Faulkner
Pope. She was the widow of
Mr. Robert (Bob) Fears.
Mrs. Fears was a member of
the First Baptist Church of
Jackson.
Surviving Mrs. Fears are
lour sons. A. Dan Fears of
Jackson. Ted Fears of
Floxilla. Tom Fears of
( edartown, Eugene Fears of
Montgomery, Alabama;
three daughters, Mrs. Lucile
llennesy of Flovilla, Mrs.
Mervin Bryan of Flovilla,
and Mrs. Evelyn Lambert of
Conley; 14 grandchildren, 12
great grandchildren; one
sister. Mrs. Lottie Brooks of
Macon.
Funeral services were
conducted Thursday after
noon, May 19th, at three
o’clock from the chapel of
Sherrell Funeral Home with
the Rev. Don Folsom and the
Rev. Lamar Guyton officiat
ing. Interment was in the
Sandy Creek Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Bill Nel
son, Sr., Arthur Freeman,
Dawson Bryant, Ves Luns
ford. E. R. Edwards, Jr., and
Tony Thurston.
Sherrell Funeral Home
was in charge of arrange
ments.
periods. Also, it is not very
safe. A frightened pet may
jump out an open window or
injure the driver and
passengers during a sudden
stop.
Condition your pet to its
carrier gradually. Let your
cat or dog inspect the open
unit at home for several
days. Then you can carry
your pet around in the
carrier, first in the house,
then around the neighbor
hood and finally in the car.
If you want to travel
outside the country, visit
your veterinarian for a
health certificate and possi
ble rabies booster shot. Also
contact the foreign embassy
or consul official to find out
about quarantine restric
tions. If you will be
vacationing in a warm
climate (inside or out of the
United States) that might
have mosquitos, ask your
veterinarian about heart
worm medicine for your dog.
When added to your dog’s
food, heartworm medication
prevents the development of
certain parasites that enter
the dog’s body with the bite of
an infected mosquito. I’ll
discuss heartworms in more
detail in a future column.
One last note about pet
carriers: some owners pro
test that confinement pre
vents the pet from “enjoying
the trip.” I disagree. A
nervous cat jumping back
and forth from one seat to
another, distracting the
driver, is not enjoying the
trip. Neither does the dog
that suffers severe eye
irritation from riding along a
dusty city or country road
with its head out the window.

If you plan to spend
more than five years
in your new building
YOU
SHOULD
READ
THIS:
The initial cost of anew building
is only one aspect of the total cost
of ownership.
You also have to consider such things
as utilities, maintenance and repairs.
These may not seem important in a
new building but they can really mount up
when a building puts on a few years.
A high quality, professionally built
building may cost you more initially
but it will quite likely cost you less
after just a few years of operation.
If you’re thinking about building,
give us a call. We’ll show you
some specific ways you can save money.
And keep saving it for a long time to come.

also be given so the person
can record a description and
serial number of his personal
property. The recording of
such numbers can aid in
recovering property which
might have been stolen.
The local chapter of the

to remind anyone who is
going on vacation or going to
be away from his house for
long periods of time, he will
feel much safer about his
property if he participates in
the program.

GRIFFIN TECH TO

COURSES
The Griffin-Spalding Coun

School will offer a Marketing
program beginning in the
Fall quarter, 1977, according
to E. V. Langford, Sr.,
director of the school.
A recent study by the U. S.
Department of Labor indi
cates that Marketing is one of
the fastest growing areas of
new employment. “I believe
that the objective of a good
Marketing program should
be to train people to work in
the private sector with a
minimum of the oretical
coursework, and a maximum
of learning efficiency,” the
instructor, David Kaylor,
states.
