Research .S(*rvice, in a spoe; h to hog prodin‘<*rs in Ra leigh recently discusftod tho lhi*<*ai of African swine fever and other foreign diseas<*s to U. S. livestock. “Some may say nothing could be wor.S(* than cholera,” Dr. .Mill- h(‘rn said, “but we are told that African swine fever kills hogs quicker anrl spreads mor<* rapid ly, and th(*re is not an (‘ff<‘ctiv(* vaccine for it.” He c'xplained that the disease spread from Africa to Portugal and Spain and then to Italy just a lew y(*ars ago. Until that tim<* it appeared to be contained with-! in Africa, i “We are told that tho swine in- dusiri(*.s in those countri<*s liave not recovei-ed 'from that experi ence,” Dr. M'uJliern said. Anoth<?r disease that is a con stant threat throughout the (‘n- tire world is foot-and-mouth dis- ea.se. The last case in this coun try was in 1929. TlK'n. it’s en trance into th<‘ country was trac ed to feeding ships’ garbage to ho,gs. “.Most occurrences of this dis ease in countries that were fr<*e, usually were found first in .swine, that had eaten animal meat scraps or by-products that origi-' naL',. in countries that had the dis<‘asc,” the U.SDA oifioial said.; 'rhe threat of these and aftier diseases to tlu> livestock in this country rises and falls with the incidence of the di.seases through out the world. With the rapid modes of world travel and the, heavy inU^rnational traffic of; people and goods, only constant i vi.gilance at entry points keeps di.s(>ases out of the IT. .S. And; sometimes they sneak in anyway. Dr. Mulhern aiLltxl that onet*' di.seas<‘ breaks out, it is difficult i ' to isolate dae to ilio heavy move- , ment df livestock within the country. This is tlio element of, the di.seas<‘ threat that affects virtually every producer. Elaborate control measures fol- I lowed by USDA to keep diseases: i out of the country were outlined for tho hog farmers by Dr. Mul- . hern. These steps include patrols along tlu* Mexican and Canadian borders in search of animal smugglers and checking all ani-' mals entering this country in-' eluding horses, zoo animals, pets, etc. , .Similar precautions are taken to see that disea.se organisms don’t enter by way of animal by- p.nylucts brought ashore by indi viduals, in ships stores or by way of ships’ garbage. ] Turning to the problem “that i really bugs us,” Dr. Ma Ihern I called attention to the some 200 ; million people who come throU. h U. .S. ports annually. Thes<* peo ple have difficulty understanding why they are suspected as pos sible carriers of an animal dis- "Hey! You ought to try thot with ice skates on!" ea.s(*. They bring in meals in their hand luggage or in their checked luggage sometimes disgui.sed as ears ^>f eorn or in cans mark<‘d oiiv4* oil, as bread, insid<* umbrel las. inside money bc?lTs, as cigars, etc., tho U.SDA <ieputy adminis trator descrilycd. “Tliey also bring it in their personal clothing hanging with in the arms of their coats or pin* ned to the insid(*s of their over-' coats.” he said, reporting that* Iasi year 12-4,385 jyounds were confiscated from pas.sengers. ; ’To the jet-age interests, the lancer planes indicate progress; to us, th<*y enlarge our night-^ man*, ’ Dr. Mulhern concluded.

Clothing FOR MEN, WOMEN, and CHILDREN This Clothing Is Unclaimed Dry Cleaning and Laundry, Some of Very Good Quality. 101 S. Carpenter St. The electric age is in. Take it from the kids who've got the beat. And it's growing bigger every day. Bigger sounds. Bigger worlds to conquer. Bigger energy to do it. And a bigger value than ever for today's electric generation. Fact is, a dollar now buys a Piedmont Carolina family about twice as much electricity, on an average, as a dollar did thirty years ago. Pretty groovy, when you think of how the price of almost everything else has gone way up. Duke Power
