an isolation ward that will ac
commodate 14 dogs and a general
ward where animals recuperate
their following operations. The latter
ward will accommodate 21 dogs.
On the nospital grounds are
located 34 individual dog ken
nels, each surrounded by a wire
fence. The grounds are attractive
ly landscaped with shrubbery and
willow trees.
While dogs do not actually
have appendicitis, they have an
ailment involving the caecum
which is similar. This is caused by
whip worms and only an opera
tion will give a dog permanent
relief. Dogs have heart trouble
too, which occurs when worms
become attached to the lowe
part of the animal’s heart. Dogs
have ulcerated .stomach, also, the
cause of which is usually traced
to the diet. Diabetes attacks a
dog very much like it sets in on
a human in that sugar is first
noted in the urina and then in the
blood .stream, if not checked in
time.
Dr. Boyette was asked about
the curative properties of dog
saliva, since the Bible mentions
Lazrus, whose sores were licked
by a dog and he was made well.
The doctor stated that dog saliva
has no antiseptic properties. He
explained that any wound kept
clean would naturally heal quick
ly. A dog’s puJse rate is faster
than in a human. The pulse rate
on a dog is taken at a point just
above the ankle, and also inside
the thigh.
The most common and also the
most fatal disease among dogs is
distemper. It is caused by a con-
tageous virus disease that at
tacks the respertory system of the
animal. According to the doctors
at Willowrun the first symptoms
I are coughing, sneezing, tempera
ture and runnii'g nose and eyes.
In the last stage? the disease at
tacks the tissues of the dog’s
jbrain and produces death. A nor-

North Carolina Department of
Public Health, spoke to .Selma
Kiwanians Thursday night at
their weekly meeting at the Wo»
man’s Club, using as his topic,
What Constitutes a Balanced
Health Program.”
He emphasized the need of ad-«
equate hospitals and personnel
and of sanitation officers The
Medical Care Commission’s pro
gram, he said, is encouraging
medical doctors,and dentists to
come to North Carolina and is en
deavoring to provide adequate
hospitals.
One sanitation officer is needed
for every 15,000 people, he said,
yet Johnston County, with ap
proximately 65,000 population,
has only one sanitation officer.
Three more are needed in this
county alone, he declared. This
same lack prevails over the state.
The importance of the work of
sarflSStion officers in setting stan
dards for public eating places was
emphasized North Carolina ranks
foremost among all states in the
union in its high standards re

Checking sanitary conditions in
schools and all public buildings is
a part of their duties, he continu

Some female dogs that become
Will-v/run when ex
pecting a bundle from heaven
give birth to their babies by
Caesarean birth. This is often
necessary to save the mother, as
tural and Caesarean. Dogs taking
the latter form are put to sleep
with ether.
In addition to ether several
other anesthetics are used at Wil
lowrun Vetemary Hospital. Nem
butal is injected intraveinously
for major or erations. Two other
oain kdlcrs used at the mstitution
are novacain and procain. The
hospital Keeps a large stock of
drugs at all times, since few' pre
scriptions are issued. Dogs and
cats for ins+an- e cannot use the
same drugs. Some drugs pre
scribed for dogs would prove fatal
to cats.
In the course of a year the hos
pital receives quite a number of
cats that are family pets. Most
cats are problem children, when
it comes to medical science, the
veternarians find. The most com
mon ailment among house cats is
hair ball. This trouble is found in
a cat’s stomach and is caused bv
1 cat licking her fur. 'When a cat
swallows enough fur to mak
ball, then the doctor is consulted.
Some times the ball can be dis
solved and expelled by laxatives.
In stubborn cases an operation is
necessary to remove the ball.
Some cats will not take medicine
easily. But a cat will not let any
thing stay on its fur. The doctors
know this. So they smear the lax
ative medicine on the cat’s fa'-ei
and she licks it off. Presto—medi-l
cine inside the cat.
Willowrun not only treats dogs
and cats, but cows, hogs, muies,l
horses and quite a few canaries. |
Last week somebody brought in a|
duck for treatment. The doctors,
were amused at the fowl’s per
sistent “quack, quack.” The hos
pital keeps a large stock of pre
pared animal foods on hand foi-
its patients. For dogs they have
cooked horse meat, dog meal,
canned dog food and fresh cow’s
milk. \
Dogs that are in the hospital for
broken legs stay on the sun porch
in the day time. It takes from
two to five weeks for a bone to
heal. The institution is equipped
with X-ray and Horoscope for
the setting of broken bones. The
X-ray was recently used in locat
ing a rubber ball that a dog had
swallowed. The ball was removed
from the animal’s stomach afte-
an operation.

D-Day Goes Into
Fifth Anniversary
In the dark early morning
hours—five years ago this week—
the drone and roar of thousands
of aircraft engines filled the skies
over Normandy, while off the
coast of Cherbourg the mightiest
invasion armada ever assembled
waited for the first dull grey of
dawn. It was D-Day, June 6. 1944,
and at minus H-hour on that
fateful day the parachute troops
of the 82d and 101st Airborne
Division jumped behind the Nazi
walls of armor, starting the great
est battle in World War II.
At Fort Bragg, North Carolina,
the 82d Airborne Division has de
signated this week, June 6th to
10th, as “Normandy Week”, and is
presenting a program to com
memorate the men who spear
headed that assault by parachute
and glider.
A schedule of the day’s activi
ties will include a visit to the
82d’s Museum, a showing of com
bat motion pictures filmed during^
action in Normandy, and a Divi
sion Review. During the review
an 82d veteran and Governor, of
South Carolina, J. Strom Thur
mond, will present the Division
with the South Carolina flag,
honoring the troopers of that state
both past and present, who served
with the 82d.
Throughout the month of June
there will be a number of routine
training jumps by parachute bat
talions, as required by Army
Field Forces Airborne Proficiency
Test No. 7-13. The public is in
vited to witness the drop schedul
ed for 10:00 a. m. on the 10th of
June.
For the many combat para
troopers still in the 82d who made
that famous jump, the Division
has planned a full day of enter
tainment.
In the event of high winds the
training jump may be called off
and riiould it rain, the review wiU
also be cancelled. However, the
82d is prepared for these emer
gencies and has planned several
other events to take place.
