Cats' Motherly Instinct Strong
Dear Doctor: My cat had kittens
and is ignoring them. Why should
she not take care of them? Will it
# happen with another litter?
Answer: The motherly instinct is
especially strong in cats. Your pet's
ignoring her litter strongly suggests
that she has a physical problem. If
you plan to breed her again, you
would be wise to have her checked
for a uterine infection or female
indisposition. Her age may be a
contributing factor, too, especially
if she is very young.
Dear Doctor: We waited and
waited for our Burmese to go into
heat. She finally did at 18 months
and we had her bred immediately
but nothing happened. How soon
will she go into heat again? How
can we assure a litter?
Answer: Felines are seasonal
coming into heat during the spring
and fall months. Turn-around cycle
is 21 days, unless there is a
malfunction of the reproductive
organs, so watch for signs within
three weeks. Eighteen months is
old for a first heat. If this is your
first kitten and you're inexperi
enced in detecting fertile periods,
you may have missed your pet's
first heat cycle because evidence of
her being in heat was not strong.
Examination is indicated if she
does not establish a pattern of
multiple heat periods twice a year.
Dear Doctor: Muffy will not
train to paper. She eats it instead of
using it for its intended purpose. Is
her diet deficient or could there be
another problem?
Answer: Your young puppy is
probably just being mischievious.
Most likely she likes the noise of
tearing up the paper and rolling
around in the scraps. However, it is
important that you pay attention to
her diet; be sure it is" a ^iell
balanced one. And check for
worms. While it's frustrating to
you. Muffy is just being a puppy.
Do you have a question about pet
care? If so send it to "YOU AND
YOUR PET." 112 Johnston Street.

The meeting will feature a slide
presentation by Robert L. Pate,
who. with tour others, recently
completed a canoe trip down the
Yadkin-Pee Dee from its head
waters to Georgetown. S.C. The

Other items of business will be
the election of officers of the

sioners. however, that his firm had
been informed by Raeford that the
city would be unable to provide the
water.
Consequently, after finding that
water would be difficult to buy.
Upchurch added, the investigators
went looking for alternatives. The
cost of building the project cons
quently will be higher because of
the need to add the facilities.
Upchurch said the cost of the
treatment system alone will be
about $230,000.
The water systems were dis
cussed at a public hearing on the
pre-application of the county for
the federal Community Develop
ment block grant.
SCHOOL REQUEST
In other business during the
meeting, the commissioners' regu
lar mid-month session, the com
missioners adopted a motion to
deny the Hoke County Board of
Education request for 520,230
additional for the school system's
1982-83 budget. The money was
wanted so the school system would
continue keeping students free of
paying fees. The school board had
made the request at the commis
sioners' July 6 meeting, and the
commissioners had tabled action
pending their studying line items of
the school budget.
FOUR-LA NING U.S. 401
The commissioners adopted a
resolution requesting the State
Board of Transportation restore to
the state roads program for 1983
the proposed four-laning of U.S.
401 north bypass from a point east
of the Raeford city limits eastward
to the Cumberland County line.
The Resolution will be presented
by a county commissioner to the
stale board av.*the public hearing
July 29 near Troy for the highway
Division 8 counties, which include
Hoke.
Raeford Mayor John K. McNeill.
Jr.. is to present a similar request to
the state board at the meeting on
behalf of the City ot Raeford.
The county commissioners' reso
lution suggests that, since only four
of the 10.8 miles of the project are
in Cumberland County, eliminat
ing the Cumberland section would
cut above S4 million to S5 million
from the cost of the project, which
has been estimated at S14.5 mil
lion. (Last year. Cumberland
County commissioners criticized
the high priority given to the
four-laning proposal for U.S. 401).
The Hoke commissioners' resolu
tion pointed to the shortage of state
funds for highway improvements,
in offering the suggestion of cutting
the length of the project.

The four-laning project has been
dropped by the state board from
the State Transportation Improve
ment Program.
The purpose of the July 29
hearing is to obtain from the public
recommendations for updating
TIP. It is one of a series of meetings
that has been scheduled through
out the state.
MENTAL PATIENTS
The commissioners adopted a
motion endorsing a Sandhills (men
tal health) Center resolution calling
for transferring from the Dorothea
Dix State Hospital at Raleigh to
area treatment facilities mental
patients no longer needing long
hospitalization.
The resolution, submitted by the
Sandhills Center Area Board, com
mits the center's resources to the
deinstitutionalization process for
patients "so long as the State
provides sufficient funds to cover
all costs associated with deinstitu
tionalizing individuals in the state
hospital."
The commissioners endorsed the
resolution but with the provision
that the county would not be liable
for expenses should state help be
discontinued.
Dr. Steven Dingfelder. area di
rector of the Center, told the
commissioners the deinstitutional
ization program is expected to save
the state about $9.5 million per
year besides being beneficial to the
patients, and out of the savings
would pay for the upgrading of the
county programs.
He said the county commis
sioners of Anson and Moore had
endorsed the resolution. Richmond
and Montgomery are the other
counties in the Center's area.
The endorsements of the boards
of the counties are being submitted
to Dr. Sarah Morrow, secretary of
the State Department of Human
Resources.
Dingfelder said the state depart
ment is studying the possibility of
transferring to McCain Hospital
1 1 1 Dix patients found qualified
for one of the new programs. Use of
pan of the hospital, now devoted
exclusively to the treatment and
care of patients with tuberculosis
and other lung diseases, has beer
requested by the Center of the state
department. No action on the
future of the hospital is scheduled
to be taken by the General As
sembly till the 1983 session.

miles of paved roads that must be

Gen. Mackmull also gave some
interesting figures on the amount of
money that is spent each year at the
base.
It was a very informative talk and
well received by the people present.

The runoffs for commissioners,
house members and judges will be
next Tuesday. July 27. If you are
going to be out of town on that day.
Then go by the election office
TODAY and VOTE.
I will not tell you how to vote, but
be sure to vote. In one section of the
ballot you will vote for three
members of the House of Represen
tatives who will represent you in
Raleigh for the next three years. If
you will look close enough one of
these is from Hoke County.
It has been 10 years since this
county has had a representative in
Raleigh, so think twice before you
pass over his name. Hoke is
stronger in Raleigh when a member
of the legislature is from Hoke
County.
