NCSU Study Shows Dog
Lives Unhealthy Life
A dogs life Is an un
healthy one, judging by a
reeearoh project at N. C.
State University,
^ NCSU scientists checked
B,061 Wake Ccunty doge
%rlthout finding a single one
free of Internal parasites.
Dr. E. O. Bette, who
headed the study, says he
believes the Wake County
doge were fairly typical (rf
all dogs in the state. In
fact, similar results have
been obtained In other parts
of the country.
The Wake County dogs
came from the Raleigh and
Wake County dog pounds
over a six-year period.
Doga that were obviously
diseased were eliminated
from the study, giving Dr.
Batte a fairly good rep
resentation of dogs In the
area.
Dr. Batte, a veterinar
ian, Is on the staff of NCSU's
Animal Health Laboratory in
the School of Agriculture
and Life Sciences.
“The study indicates to
me,” he explained, “that
unless a dog Is kept in ttie
house or In bis own yard
under good sanitary condi
tions he probably has at
least one of the Internal
parasites. And although the
dog may look healthy, these
j^arasltee are reducing his
Bgor.”
~ The study shows that 949
of the 1,061 doge checked
had at least one of the
intestinal nematodes. These
include asoarids, hook
worms and whipworms.
Of the 049 nematode-
infested dogs, 40 percent
has spent this school year In
Kings Mountain having pre
viously lived all of her eleven
years in Kannapolis. Top
speUer In Mrs. Ware's 6th
gnde, Mona represented
East School and confessed that
she prefers written spelling
contests rather than oral
ones. The lone male contest
ant was Rick Hlnnant ot North
School where he is in Mrs,
Shields 6th grade. Youngest
of the contestants at 10 years
old, Rick was also spelling
chaimplon In his room in 4th
grade but this was his first
time representing his school.
Rick smiled to himself at the
calling of “ferule, were you
ever punished on the hand
with a ferule?” Was he re
calling the word qr the occ
asion?

Eleven year old Christy
Bowen from Bethware Is a
veteran speller. She woo
tor her room In 4th grade.
In 5th grade and again this
year In 6th grade. Like all
the other contestants she was
school champion for the very
first time. Christy showed
intense concentration as she
listened very carefully to the
pronunciation ot each word.
Bonnie Hinnant, seventh grad
er and in Mrs. Well’s home
room at Central Junior High
School was the second mem
ber of the Hlnnant family tak
ing part in this contest, Bon
nie said that she and her
younger brother, Rick, had
pracUced spelli^ words to
one another. Bonnie was top
speUer ot her room in 4th
and 6th grades, but she had
never woo a school contest
before.

All was quiet in the confer

contestant’s list of written
words grew longer and hands
were sometimes pushed
through hair or lower lips
were bitten. There was the
odd cough, be sound of adls-
tant typewriter and the rustle
as three contestants simul
taneously erased and re
wrote a certain word.

POT & DRIVING
Providence, R.I. —A fed
eral study has Indicated that
persons who drive under the
influence of marijuana are
more cautious and less ag
gressive than drivers under
the influence of alcohol. Dr.
Robert McKelvey, director
of the Injury Control Re
search Laboratory, says that
more tests are planned to
determine the vigilance of
marijuana smokers.
It took six judges almost as
long to check the capers care
fully, as It had taken to admin
ister the test. The children
drank cokes and tried to look
nonchalent but each was wait
ing excitedly for the results.
Finally, the announcement
came and Bonnie Hlnnant, 12
year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L.E. Hlnnant, was de
clared the 1972 Kl^s Moun
tain SpelUn g Champion.
Bonnie will undoubtedly be
spending some of her vaca
tion time in preparation for
the upcoming challenge. Con-
gratulaUoos to Bonnie and all

harbored ascarlda, 89 per
cent harbored hookworms,
and 59 percent harbored
whipworms.
Dr. Batte described
bookworms as particularly
vicious. They attach them
selves to the lining of in
testines and suck bl^ from
their victim.
The remaining 102 of the
1,051 dogs checked were
found to have tapeworms.
Some 66 percent of these
had dipylldium tapeworms
and anotter 30 percent bad
taenia tapeworms.
Because there are five
major groups of Internal
parasites. Dr. Batte said
they are difficult to control
without a veterinarian’s
help. “Drugs that are
effective against some
parasites are not effective
against others,” he ex
plained.
Dr. Batte also stresssd
the need to control fleas
which he said act as an
Intermediate host for the
tapeworms.
