/Prepare Pets For Traveling
;> Dear Doctor: We will be taking
:<&ur dot oo vacation with us soon.
:WiU most motels accept us and
* Jjct? If we kave to leave her in the
>aKXd for several hours, what can
'we do to be sure she won't cause a
commotion by barking?
Answer: Some motels welcome
pets as guests and some don't.
Most travel publications ? the
AAA books, campground guides
and travel guides - have pet
listings.
It is wise to check ahead if you
have any doubts. But don't leave
your pet in the car overnight.
Barking varies with the individual
animal.
Tranquilizers may be used to
allay the pet's anxiety.
Some owners are hesitant to use
such medication but quieting the
animal prevents the onset of bron
chitis, which may be caused by ex
cessive barking, or other ills trig
gered by overexcitement.
You And Your Pet
Tranquilizers also eliminate
vomiting and carsickness.

Dear Doctor: My cat likes to nip
on my houseplants. 1 have been
told they are poisonous. If this is
so, what plants should 1 watch out
for?
Answer: Best advice is to keep
your plants and pets separated.
The many plants that are
poisonous or cause a sensitivity
reaction are too numerous to men
tion here. Sensitivity really is the
bigger problem; just by nibbing
their heads against the plants, cats
can develop redness and swelling
around the face and ears. This is
also true for the shrubbery out
doors.

and by appointment
Answer: Apply basic first aid
techniques: 1. Before anything
else, try to muzzle the animal. A
strip of cotton doth or gauze may
be used: wrap around the muzzle,
cross underneath it and tie behind
the ears.
Muzzling will not interfere with
the animal's breathing.
2. Treat the most serious pro
blem, probably bleeding, to keep
the animal from going into shock.
If there is an obvious fracture,
splint with rolled up newspapers or
clothing to ease the pain and
discomfort.
3. Gently move the animal to a
stretcher which can be improvised
from a coat, rug or plywood. Then
keep him warm until he can be seen
by a veterinarian.

Auto Insurance Rates Reduced
ine North Carolina Insurance
Commissioner's Office announced
today that following hearings,
auto liability property damage and
medical payment coverages along
with physical damage insurance
rates, will be reduced.
According to the two orders
issued Friday, one order reduces
rates for property damage for
policies ceded to the Reinsurance
Facility by 13.7ro, and reduces
medical payments coverage ceded
to the facility by 9.4*V
The second order reduces rates
for comprehensive coverage by
8.4?% and collision coverage by
11.8*V
The order came following a se
cond set of hearings. According to
Ingram's staff the second set of
hearings were scheduled because
the rates should be reduced,
however, it was not possible to
reduce those rates in the first hear
ings on the Rate Bureau's filing.
The second set of hearings
allowed the Insurance Commis
sioner's staff more time to produce
additional evidence.
Actuaries were able to develop
calculations which showed that the
Rate Bureau's loss projections
were grossly inaccurate, over a
period of four to five yeas.
The Insurance Commissioner's
actuaries were able to compare the
Rate Bureau's predictions of losses
to what actually occurred.
These reductions will mean a
savings to North Carolina
motorists of more than $32 million
dollars.
The first order stated that the
Rate Bureau utilized calendar-year
data for physical damage for the
year ending December 31, 1980, as
the experience based on which
future premiums, losses and ex
penses for rates for the period
beginning January 1, were sug
gested.
In December of 1982, data for
the 1981 calendar year was produc
ed by the Insurance Service Office
under contract to the Rate Bureau.
The testimony introduced in the
latest hearing showed that losses
divided among insured cars are in
creasing for the period from the
end of 1980 to the end of the third
quarter of 1982.
However, further evidence
showed that companies achieved
significantly better underwriting
results in recent years for physical
damage insurance than the Rate
Bureau's calculations predicted.
Conclusions in the order stated
that present rates being charged
and collected for comprehensive
and collision insurance are ex
cessive, in that the rates, together
with the income generated from
the investment of loss reserves, loss
adjustment reserves and unearned
premium reserves, will lead to a
rate of return for insurance com
panies which would be excessive.
Both orders stated that within a
reasonable period of time, not to
exceed forty-five days from the en
try of the final order, present rates
for property damage and medical
payments coverages for auto in
surance policies ceded to the Facili
ty, and the charging or collection
of present rates for comprehensive
and collision insurance for private
passenger (non-fleet) automobiles
is improper, and shall not be
charged or collected.
The order further states that no
later than forty five days from the
date a copy of the orders are
received by the Rate Bureau and
the Facility, the reduced rates shall
be implemented on all new and
renewal policies written on or after
the 45 day date of service on the
Rate Bureau and Reinsurance
Facility.
The order was delivered to the
Rate Bureau and the Facility on
Friday.
Exercise Decreases Risk
b> Carol Turkington
Duke University Medical Center
Jogging is not an insurance
policy against coronary heart
disease, but it can effectively lower
your risks of dying from heart at
tacks. according to Dr. R. Sanders
Williams. Williams is a car
diologist at Duke University
Medical Center.
"There are some harsh realities
to face in the United States
today," Williams said.
"The U.S. ranks third above 22
other nations in coronary disease
deaths." he added.
To him. the most tragic part of
this high death rate is that it is too
often premature.
Although doctors have not
found precise reasons for the
development of heart disease, they
have formulated a list of risk fac
tors. which indicate who might
develop the disease.
If a patient is over 50 years of
age. smokes, and has high blood
pressure, diabetes, psychological
stress and a high-fat diet, his
chance of developing heart disease
is 10 times greater than a person
Health Notes
with none of those factors. And
the list is cumulative - the more
factors a person has, the greater
his risk.
"There's something we do
wrong about the way we live in the
U.S., and it's not entirely
genetic," Williams said. "A
Japanese citizen has a very low risk
of heart disease, but if he comes to
the United States and lives here 20
years, he assumes a risk very much
like that of a native American.
"We don't understand exactly
why people develop heart attacks,
but that doesn't mean you can't do
something about it," he said.
"Our forefathers had no choice
over their lifestyles. We have a
greater choice."
T wo areas where people have the
biggest choice are diet and
lifestyle, he said. Diet is part of
controlling the risk. Williams ad
vocates limiting total calories, salt
intake, cholesterol and saturated
fats. He favors chicken and fish
over red meat and eggs. But the
cardiologist considers exercise the
most important part of the plan.
"Exercise is the keystone in
treatment because it has an effect
on other risk factors," he explain
ed. "Exercise reduces stress and
tension, it breaks down
cholesterol, it increases blood cir
culation."
But a person doesn't have to ex
ercise every day for the rest of his
life. Vigorous exercise 30 minutes
three times a week is enough to
maintain a good, healthful
lifestyle.
"Exercise enough so you are
breathing more rapidly but can still
carry on a normal conversation,"
he said. "And keep at it.
"The encouraging thing is that
persons who don't want to become
marathon runners can still lower
their chances of developing the
disease by even a very modest level
of exercise."
Williams said that it is difficult
to determine whether life is pro
longed with exercise, but the quali
ty of life can be improved.
"It is possible, with exercise, to
achieve a greater degree of health
than you have known for years.
Know your risks and don't kid
yourself," he said.
