The Paws Thai Refreshes Veterinarians have for years had a gut feeling that the relationship between pets and pet owners was benefi cial. Now, a veterinary health researcher says there is evi dence that pets improve hu man health. One study has shown that petting an animal can lower blood pressure. ENSION GRAM Sponsored by Warren County / i i Health Department \ Hypertension, better known as high blood pres sure, affects about one-fifth of our adult popula tion and it is now known that it can be a serious problem for our children. In 1978, a task force on blood pressure, appointed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute drew up specific guide lines for practicing physicians and health care providers involved in school health and other community programs for children. This report was sent by the American Academy of Pediatrics to all its members. Among the task force's recommendations is that all children over age 3 should have their blood pressure measured annually as part of their continuing health care. Remember that a single blood pressure de termination is not accurate, especially if the child is agitated or crying during the procedure. In such cases, the blood pressure should be taken at a subsequent visit when the child is calmer. Another serious matter is the size of the blood pressure cuff. A cuff that is either too large or too small will give inaccurate results. If you find that your child's physician neglects to take the blood pressure, we suggest that you remind him to do so. If your child has an elevated blood pressure, your physician may do additional tests to determine the reason for the high blood pressure. In the majority of cases, no specific reason will be found and your child will be labeled as having essential hypertension. What can be done for a child with essential hypertension? There are three factors related to Ugh blood pressure that you can help control. These are obesity, salt intake, and psychological You can go a long way toward preventing your child from ever developing Ugh blood pressure and its serious medical consequences by making sure that be never ge*s too fat and by restricting the salt intake in your house. Prevention is the name of the game. Monday, June 7-July 26 Free I Week Weigb-In Contest Location-Warm County Health Department Time-8:30a. m.-4:30 p. m. Monday, July 5 Act Fights Extinction One Species At A Time by REBECCA R. KIRTLAND In a desert canyon in Emery County, Utah, grows a 5-inch tall perennial with pink and white daisylike blooms. Scientists believe this plant, the Maguire flea bane, is the last one of its kind in the world. In San Francisco, a rare butterfly, the bay checker spot, is in danger of losing the best of its dwindling habitat to a golf course. If it becomes extinct, more than two decades of scientific research and government funds will have been spent in vain. In Florida, the largest freshwater turtle in the Western hemisphere is literally in the soup. The alligator snapping turtle's numbers are dropping rapidly because of over harvesting by soup makers. One Extinction a Day These are but three of the many species of plants and animals that need help from humans to survive. Scientists estimate that ex tinction claims one species every 24 hours; some believe the rate might be one every hour by the end of the decade. The Global 2000 report, a 1980 study of world environmental problems, predicted the loss of one-fifth of the earth's species by the year 2000. The Endangered Species Act of 1973, the most com prehensive legislation of its kind in the world, was authorized by Congress to help arrest this decline. The act, which is to be re authorized this year, established the U. S. List of Endangered and Threaten ed Wildlife and Plants that now includes 236 native animals and 54 plants. An additional 3,000 plants and 200 animals are candidates for listing. To list a new species, scientific evidence must be presented that the species is in danger of extinction in a significant part of its range. Additions to the list have stalled recently because of extensive cost benefit analysis required by the Reagan administration, said Michael Bean of the Environmental Defense Fund. After the Tellico Dam controversy in Tennessee, where the tiny snail darter tied up a huge federal dam project, the act was amended to allow projects to go forward if their benefits outweighed the potential gain from protecting a species. But mining, forestry, utility and other interests still want more emphasis on the economic value of proposed development. That seems unlikely. Bills before Congress to re authorize the act for three years will also streamline the exemption process for industry. Alligator* Saved When an animal is listed, it cannot be harmed, pursued, hunted, transported, or traded. The heart of the act protects habitat by requiring that all federal agencies ensure that their actions, or actions funded or authorized by than, do not threaten the existence of a listed species or adversely affect its habitat. Occasionally, this alone is enough to bring back an imperiled species. "The American alligator was nearly wiped out from overharvesting but has made a dramatic come back because its listing prohibited the killing of alligators and the sale of their hides," Paul Opler, chief of listings for the Office of Endangered Species in the Fish and Wildlife Service, said. "We've been able to delist the alligator completely in Louisiana and are contemplating similar action in parts of Florida and Texas." Man's interference by altering, exploiting, or destroying the habitat is most often the reason that wildlife becomes endan gered. Extensive recovery plans have been designed for 52 of the listed species. Most are complex, difficult programs that may take decades to complete, but some have already shown success. One such effort has been the Fish and Wildlife Service's work with the Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, the smallest and rarest sea turtle species. Their numbers have been dan gerously low since the 1940s, and they are known to nest naturally on only one beach — at Rancho Nuevo, Mexico. Under the authority of the Engangered Species Act, the United States and Mexico have cooperated in protecting the beach and collecting some of the eggs to hatch and rear in captivity. The turtles are then released on a beach at South Padre Island, Texas, in an effort to estab lish a second population. Many Kemp's Ridleys have been lost when caught in shrimp trawlers' nets. The bill has authorized funds for research that has brought new technology to shrimp trawling, greatly reducing accidental capture of sea turtles. Whoopero and Condors Two of America's glamour birds, the whooping crane and the California condor, have received the best efforts that can be mobilized under the Endangered SpedesAct The whooping crane's numbers have increased from about 20 in the 1940s to nearly 100 now. In 1975 the U. S. and Canadian wildlife services began a cooperative effort to I Want Ad Rates I | | Cash With Order 1 insertion 10c a word 2 insertions or more are half price with a minimum of SI 00 per insertion Above prices are cash with order, for charges add 10 perron: Rates apply to consecutive insertions only Irregular insertions — 10e a word each insertion Minimum 10 words in estimating the cost Count each initial, abbreviation and group of numbers as one word A key number counts as 10 words Each word requested in all capitals counts as two words The Warren Record wiH be responsible only for the first incorrect insertion of any advertisement Errors which do not lessen the value of the advertisement will not be corrected by make good insertions Publishers reserve the right to revise any and all copy or to refuse publication of any copy not confoiming to established Classified Regulations Failure of the publisher to insert in any particular issue or issues advertising matter placed with the publisher invalidates the order for insertions in the missed issue but shall not constitute breach of contract No Classif id Ads Accepted or Cancelled Alter Noon Monday. establish a second self sustaining "foster" flock by placing whooper eggs in sandhill crane nests. The foster flock now has about 20 whooping cranes. Despite years of work with die California condor, scientists have watched the bird slip toward extinc tion. Fewer than 30 remain of a species that within recent history numbered in the hundreds. Some species become so rare that t^oVery programs cannot be imple mented. Efforts to save the black-footed ferret were stymied when the last captive one died in 1978 and biologists were unable to locate any others in the wild. The Fish and Wildlife Service even trained dogs to sniff them out of their prairie habitat, but without success. Eventually, diligence and determination paid off when wildlife biologist Tim Clark found at least 22 of them alive and breeding in Wyoming. "Anything that has been done or will be done for the ferret is probably attributable to the Endangered Species Act," said Clark, whose 10-year search has been partly supported by the National Geographic Society. "And if the ferret were not on the list, probably nothing would be done for it even though it's been found." • Guardsman Furniture Polish No Wax Build Up Cleans.

Living Question Marks But when it comes to obscure organisms and plants such as the Maguire flea bane, what's the harm of their going the way of the dodo? And what can be done with just one plant anyway? Bruce MacBryde of the endangered species office explains: "Science has not yet screened this plant We have not asked it with the language of today's technology how it may help us with tomorrow." Biologist Thomas Eisner of Cornell University notes that plants are the source of most natural products used today and of vast numbers of chemicals yet unknown. "The invertebrates, too, are a great unknown," he said. His laboratory has isolated potential heart drugs from fireflies, a nerve drug from a millipede, and shark repellents from a marine mollusk.
