If you're planning a . move, and yqu have younger, children,
consider these helpful suggestions firni U-HatH: ,-9-M
If possible, break the niovini; news ,nriiclii:ill.y .You rms-'Jit Start
by discussing the possibility of moving. Then, talk about the
place you're moving to, em
phasizing things of interest to
the child. As the time for pre
paration growis near, you can
announce, that in fact you aire
moving alid chances are your
children wit) greet this final
news with" enthusiasm.
Kids neJd tp be part of the
action. Depending upon their
age and maturity, the children
can be responsible for pack
ing a box of toys, organizing
their own room, or even tak
ing charge of bigger jobs like
packing dishes, books and
other household items. The
more you involve them, the
greater the chance they'll en
joy the move.
While it may not be obvious,
your child is bound to feel
uncertainty about leaving se
cure surroundings for unfa
miliar territory. If you're mov
ing some distance away, try
to plan your route well in ad
vance of the trip. This will
allow opportunity to plot out
some special points of interest
along the way. Try to find at
least one point of interest for
each travel day, so that your
children may have something
to look forward to, and some
thing to keep their mind off
the uncertainties.
For the trip itself, take along
some games, drawing paper,
pencils, and a healthy supply
of snack foods. This will help
ease long hours of riding and
'ul dow n on unnecessary
..tups as well. If the children
lire old enough to Write, sug
gest that they keep a diary
of the trip.' ! ' '
fH; .you suspect you'll be
crowded for space in the
family car, a car-top carrier
is ideal for holding all your
family's personal belongings
They're available from rental
companies like U-Haul.
Finally, be sure to set aside
utility cartons to carry your
children's favorite belongings.
These should be loaded last.
When you arrive at your new
home, everything will seem
strange and somewhat fright
ening to your young ones
Nothing will brighten them up
faster than rediscovering their
cherished toys.
Remember that moving may
be one of your children's
greatest adventures. The ex
perience can be as exciting as
you make it.
For additional tips on mov
ing, U-Haul has a free 24 paoe
Moving Guide. It is available
from any U-Haul dealer, or

WHY SHOES COST MORE
The Japanese samurai are
riding t he range again. And it
makes a blood curdling story
-for American shoe buyers.
Armed with billions of A
merican dollars rather than
four-foot swords, the modern
equivalent of Japan's medieval
soldiers of fortune are raiding
one of the United States'
most important natural re
source's: its cattlehides.
The major source of leath
er shoes, cattlehides are in
short supply in the world.
The natural shortage was ag
gravated in the past year when
Argentina, Brazil, Spain and
other countries embargoed all
exports of hides. This brought
foreign buyers in droves to
the U.S., the last "free" mar
ket of any size in the world.
While other countries "con
serve" their supplies to bene
fit their local shoe and leather
industries and to provide jobs
for their workers, the United

But at ItV-imonths, two died

, Veterinarians tell us distem
per can ' be contracted from
another infected animal or a
contaminated environment,
but that generally distemper
virus spreads as an airborne
infection: dog inhales infect
ed iiir.
Danger Signals
Possible initial symptoms of
distemper include llstlessness,
a temperature rise and unac
countable loss of appetite. At
this point, don't wait for any
other signs. Follow the first
rule for any suspected sick
ness in your pet: take him to
your veterinarian without de
lay. If it is distemper, prompt
treatment greatly improves
the chances for recovery.
A nursing puppy can receive
protective antibodies in the
mother's,; milk if she Is" im
mune.' But that protection dis
appears in about two weeks
after weaning and the puppy
becomes susceptible. So, vac
cination is the only sure and
necessary answer.
Purebred Boxer
Upon acquiring a dog or cat,
have a veterinarian make a
thorough health examination
to get your pet off to a good
start. He may decide on a
temporary puppy shot right
away. Adult shots may begin
between 9 to 12 weeks.
Vital "Booster" Shots
Boosters generally are giv
en annually. But because each
dog and cat develops differ
ent amjpunts of immunity, the
intervals between these shots
are best determined by your
veterinarian.
Remember my opening
story: don't forget those
boosters. Write down the date
they are due in your calendar.
And if you want a "Pet
Medical History" booklet to
keep records, write me at
ALPO Pet Foods, enclosing
25c for postage and handling.
Address: P.O. Box 2187, Allen
town. Pa. 18001.
States permits an "open sea
son" on cattlehides. Last year
some 50 of all cattlehides
produced in this country were
bought abroad. Largest by far
of the foreign hide buyers has
been Japan. Number Two buy
er has been the bloc of Eastern
European nations.
Who is left holding the
shoe bag? The American con
sumer. As hides disappeared,
prices began to rise--for hides,
leather and then shoes. As
' 1973 dawned, the average pair
of leather shoes cost $3.62
more than a year ago. If the
American supply of hides is
not safeguarded, shoe prices
bid fair to rise again in 1973.
The solution lies in Wash
ington. High on the economic
agenda of the new 93rd Con
gress is a bill for fair, mod
erate control of exports of
valuable American cattlehides.
Tanners and shoe manufac
turers agree that this country
pan afford to share its hides
with other nations to the ex
tent of one-third of all we
produce and perhaps a bit
more. But the shipment a
broad of 40, 50 and 60 of
our hides means shortage on
the American market, follow
ed by higher prices and fewer
purchases.
vevv-yj
44 Ml) r
Logically enough, as last
year's history proves, fewer
American leather shoes were
produced and American work
ers were thrown out of jobs
as tannery and shoe factory
employment declined. Thou
sands of once gainfully em
ployed Americans are now a
drain on the national economy
as unemployment insurance,
welfare and "re-training" sub
sidies are being paid out by
the American taxpayer.
Hide controls were tried
for a brief three weeks last
year and succeeded in holding
down prices.

WASHINGTON (NBNS)
Noting that the Equal Employ
ment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) is "Just beginning to
take a systematic approach to
handling its responsibility "' the
VS. Commission on Civil
Rights said the agency will
need to constantly improve its
operations, increase its staff,
and rely on outside assistance.
The rights commission then
called on the EEOC to utilize
the services of state and local
fair employment practice a
gencies to e nforce anti-discrimination
laws at that level,
a new responsibility given to
the agency under the 1972
Equal Employment Opportuni
ty Act.
, While conceding that chan
ges proposed by the EEOC,
are "potentially effective,"
the rights commission urged
"dose monitoring- t ensure
continued improvement and a
dequate utilization of its new
management procedures."
I Citing such problems as a
lack of sufficient funding (
which the rights commission
charged has been held up by
"congressional inaction on the
agency's budget request" )
and the failure of the Civil Ser
vice commission to approve
supergrade positions Tor the
directors" of five new litiga
tion centers, unsystematic trai
ning, and "serious" manage

mission said the backlog of

Series of Shootings Plague Hie
City As Two Men Meet Dealh
Old Vet finally Gefs Honorable
Army Discharge After 67 Years
MENNEAPOLIS (NBNS) -In
an emotional ceremony,
Dorsie V. Willis finally recei
ved his long-awaited honorable
discharge from the U.S. Armj
which, 67 years ago mistakenly
dishonorably discharged him.
In 1906, President Theo
dore Roosevelt discharged with
out honor and without a trial,
Willis and 168 other black sol
diers from D Company, First
Battalion, 25th Infantry (Col
ored) because they failed to
volunteer information concern
ing a shooting spree in Texas.
Evidence later revealed that
the men knew nothing about
the shooting, which became
known as "The Brownsville In
cident," and, therefore, could
not possibly volunteer any data
Willis, who shined shoes in
a barbershop here for 59 years,
made repeated telephone calls
wrote letters and petitions -to
have his record clarified.
All to no ava il, however
until last week when the Army
sent Maj. Gen. DeWitt Smith,
and Lt. Col. William Baker
from the Pentagon to deliver
Willis' honorable discharge cer
tificate (dated back to Nov. 25,
1906), a new U.S. flag, and
copies of his amended service
record to send to relatives.
Said Gen. Smith, "I stand
here today before the friends
of Dorsie Willis to make abso
lutely and officially clear what
has been true and clear-
in the minds of those Who have
known Mr. Willis that is, that
he tendered honest, faithful
and entirely honorable service
to his country while in the uni
form of the United States Ar
my. "We are trying to substi
tute justice for injustice, to
make amends, to say how
much we of this generation
white men as well as black
regret the errors and injustice
of an earlier generation. Mr.
Willis you honor us by the
quality of the life you have
led, by your outstanding citi
zenship and by the faithful
service you rendered the Uni
ted States Army."
Then, the 87-year-old Willis,
who suffered from arthritis,
deteriorating eyesight and poor
hearing, was given a standing
ovation as the choir sang "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic"
and grown men wept.
Willis continued to smile,
but later said, "It was a tough
fight. I'm happy. But I feel
so weak."
Last fall, Secretary of the
Army Robert F. Froenhlke,
called the unjustified punish
ment of the black soldiers "a
gross injustice" and ordered
their discharges changed to-honorable.
Federally-Sponsored Tuskegee
Syphillis Panel Open to Public
WASHINGTON (NBNS) -Bowing
to Black-supported de
mand made by Senator Abra
ham Ribicoff (D-Conn.), the
government-appointed panel
investigating the federally -sponsored
Tuskegee syphillis experi

will have a "disastrous impact"
