This message sponsored by: - - - |sggj| DON’T KISS A PARROT! By Scionco Features People who get too close to their pet birds run the risk of getting psittacosis, commonly known as parrot fever. The increasing na don-wide popularity of parakeets, »arrotß and love-birds as pets is ►elieved to be the main cause, for he rising rate of this relatively ibscure disease. In the first tw# months of this / , year 23 cases s were reported 3BF 4*c7 S by the U. S. * Public Health _ Service, about four times the l r m ' average number that occurred during the same period in 1945. The symptoms and treatment of parrot fever are almost the same as those of virus pneumonia. This lung infection is accompanied by headaches, sore throat, chills and fever when the disease strikes. Be fore the introduction of antibiotics me out of every five recorded parrot fever cases resulted in [j death. Treatment today usually | consists of rest in bed with doses of antibiotics. Doctors at the Uni=- 1 , versity of Texas Medical Branch reported that treatment with terra i mycin led to recovery of two psit ! tacosis patients within three days. 11 Sparrows, pigeons and ducks can zlso carry the disease, and the jirds need not be infected them selves in order to spread the virus ; that causes the fever. People can j :atch the illness by close associa- I don with these feathered friends >r by direct contact with them, j A warning Was issued recently . i >y the Medical Society of New Jex-- sey against kissing parrots or par ikeets or allowing these pets to ;ake food from one’s lips. Some dsses, the medical society ad mitted, are undoubtedly worth run ; ling a risk to enjoy. Kissing bii'ds, | lowever, should be left to other | bird a. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1954. U. S. Bond Sales In Chowan County $25,654 During April $82,020 Invested In Sav ings Bonds From Jan uary to April A. B. Harless, chairman of Chowan County, U. S. Savings Bonds Commit tee, this week released the April sales figures of Series E and H. United States Savings Bonds. The combined sales totals for Chowan are $25,654.00. From January through April of this l year, Chowan citizens have saved $82,- 020.25 in Savings Bonds. In North Carolina, the combined sales for April, as released by State! Director Walter P. Johnson, and State Chairman W. H. Andrews, Jr., were) $3,929,138.75. This is an increase over April 1953 of 5 per cent. Bond sales! in the State through April of this: year are $17,332,586.75, which is 28] per cent of the State’s annual quota, I and an increase of 5 per cent over the same period of 1953. ! Since May 1, 1951, when the first ISeries E Savings Bonds matured, ma- I turities have totaled sl2 billion dol : iars. About $9 billion dollars of these matured bonds are being retained by individuals under the Treasury’s auto matic extension plan, which pays .3 per cent interest compounded semi-an nually if held to maturity. At the end of April, the American people held $37,279,000,000 in Series E and H Sav ings Bonds—this is an all time high in the Treasury’s thrift program. To the extent that holdings in Sav ings Bonds conrinue to mount, Ameri can people; are helping to stabilize our economy and maintain a sound dollar. Such pai’ticipation by millions of Americans in the U. S. Savings Bonds Program, helps to build a reservoir of liquid spending power available to families and communities, and insures prosperity. Chairman Harless expressed his gratitude to the citizens of this Coun ty who continue their loyal support by purchasing U. S. Savings Bonds. He further stated that the Payroll Sav ings Plan for business firms, and the Bond-A-Month services offered by the local banks makes the Savings Bond privileges available for all citizens who wish to benefit by this thrift pro gram.
