The Cowboys, under Coach Tom Landry, have not had a touchdown scored against their defense in 21 quarters. Quite a feat in this age of high powered offences. San Francisco, guided by old pro John Brodie, beat the best team in Pro Football last Sunday- Minnesota-17 to 14. The Gold Diggers have waited 25 long years for this one and will be trying for the whole bowl of wax.

The Lady Cats, proud owners of an 8-2 record to date, finished second in the Jeff Davis Classic held last week in Hazlehurst. Morrow’s sextet swept into the finals with impressive one-sided victories before being upset by the host team, Jeff Davis, who won the championship 40-32. Vivian Brown and Debbie Murphy continued to lead the Pantherette attack as they have all season. AMERICAN give CANCER ± SOCIETY T Vivian Brown UEf. V glHIr 11l The Georgia Game and Fish Commission ad vises rabbit hunters to use caution in handling or dressing their kills to avoid possible infection of tularemia, also known as “rabbit fever”. This bacterial disease is common to small rodents such as cotton rats and field mice, and occasionally it is found in rabbits. Man can contract the disease while cleaning an infected rabbit or through tick and flea bites. One case of the infection in humans has been reported this year, but there is no reason to feel that this one case is the fore-runner of a major outbreak of the disease. On this matter, Dr. Frank Hayes, Director of the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study headquarters at the University of Georgia’s College of Vetinary Medicine, was contacted. He commented, “The organism which causes tularemia is commonly present in small rodents, and it is transmitted to rabbits by ticks and fleas. Since the rabbit is particularly susceptible to the disease, outbreaks of tularemia serve as a natural control measure on abnormally high concentrations of rabbits where natural predation has failed to hold down the population. Oc cassionally a rabbit in a normal population will become infected by happen-stance and it will usually be quickly disposed of by a predator or by the disease itself. If a human hunter is the predator, he runs the chance of catching the disease. We feel that this recent case of tularemia is just such an isolated, unlucky incident. The conditions are not right for a major outbreak of the disease.” The best method for hunters to avoid the disease is by close obervation of their quarry. If a rabbit seems sluggish and reluctant to run, or acts sick in general, it should be shot and buried, with care being taken to avoid handling the carcass. While cleaning rabbits wear rubber gloves and inspect the liver and spleen. Tularemia causes an enlargement of the spleen and the liver will be covered with many small white spots. If these conditions are found, dispose of the carcass, preferably by burying it Ticks are carriers of many diseases including tularemia, if any are found on your body after a hunt, remove them and apply antiseptic. Tularemia is a very uncomfortable disease, and it can be dangerous if no medical attention is administered. Since it fs also rare and simple to avoid, there is no reason to give up rabbit hunting if precautions are taken. Burke Flexo-Products Company, Division of McClellan Industries, Inc., has introduced a unique “fix-it” compound called “Miracle Pat ch”. Miracle Patch, as the name implies, is ideally suited for patching and repairing a wide variety of household and hobby items, including rubber boots, loose bathroom and kitchen tiles, leaky tents and awnings, clothing,raised kitchen counter tops, furniture and almost everything else that needs mending. Works equally well on cloth, wood, glass, or metal. Unlike most patching compounds, Miracle Patch is flexible. After it is applied, it bends and “gives” with the repaired area. It is waterproof, extremely resilient, and forms an exceptionally strong bond. ‘Sold in one ounce stick, the new patching material is simply heated with a match or lighter until it begins to flow, then applied to the damaged area. A special built-in abrasive cap has abrasive material for roughening the surface for best adhesion, making a stick of Miracle Patch vir tually a pocket-size repair kit For this reason, it should be an especially welcome item for fishermen, hunters, out doorsmen, campers, and others who must often face on-the-spot repair jobs. Housewives will find it useful for re-cementing broken heels, pottery and china, children’s rrin and footwear. Do-it-yourselfers will find Miracle Patch a “must” tool for the workshop to repair awnings, woodwork, torn screens, and dozens of other household fix-it chores. At a suggested retail price of $1.50 extensive distribution is planned for variety ’ and hardware stores and departments, sporting goods stores, drug stores, hobby stores, and household outlets across the country. Mail Orders •will also be filled by the factory. For details, write Burke Flexo-Products Company, Division of McClellan Industries, Traverse City, Michigan 49684. Outdoors WITH TOM DANIEL
