The only hog cholera in North Carolina is in two areas one in Gates County and one in Chowan and Per quimans. Hog cholera in this area is still serious. Six new cases have been confirmed in the past week. One of the most important keys to eradication is early diagnosis. Often the disease shows up first in ma ture animals, especially sows. They will abort and go off feed for several days and it may be a week or longer be fore younger pigs are affect ed.

If a veteran sells his home obtained under a GI loan and obtains a release of liability from the VA, will he be eligible for another GI loan at his new location? A. No. - The granting of a release of liability by the VA does not make the veteran eligible for restoration of his loan entitlement. This can be done only by having the lender release the VA as guarantor of the loan. This is usually accomplished by re quiring the new buyer to ob tain his own financing on the heme, thereby paying off the existing GI loan. By Returning To School Physicians Keep Learning A certified doctor of inter nal medicine goes to school at age 60. Twenty-four other internists average age, 40— extricate themselves from their praotice to plunge into new medical problems few a two, or four, week "learning sabbatical.” Dr. Edward G. Bond of Edenton is among them. "Continuing Education In Internal Medicine,” operating at all three North Carolina medical schools, i 9 funded by the N. C. Regional Medical Program through the Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare. (It is one of 21 projects supported by the Regional Medical Program in this state to provide better care to more people at lower cost). The project brings one in ternist at a time to Duke, •Bowman Gray or UNC. To participate, ihe must have been out of medical school for 10 or more years. The physicians “get away from it aU”—and into it all— by participating in a program 1 tailored just for them. Before their arrival on the medical school campus, they have in dicated by questionnaire their : special interests. They learn by working in both an aca- demic and a clinical setting with problems they don’t see routinely in their daily work. “The burdens of everyday practice tend to make you lose sight of medical ad vances,” says Dr. Ralph V. Kidd, a typical internist "on sabbatical,” who has just re turned to his home in Char lotte from the UNC School of Medicine. Dr. Kidd has been a practicing internist for 17 years. “The most important single factor limiting a physician’s education,” he says, “is time. In this program, you simply have to make up your mind to leave your daily practice for a while so you can even tually give your patients much more. A responsible physician never completes his medical education. You can’t cope with today’s health prob lems by practicing yesterday’s medicine.” During his sabbatical, Dr. Kidd concentrated on cardi ology and endocrinology. According to Dr. Louis G. Welt, chairman of the UNC Department of Medicine and director of the N. C. RMP project, the established in ternists on sabbatical also do a lot for the residents in training.

"The residents,” he says, "find this very exciting.” The physicians’ typical day, according to Dr. Welt, might be: 8 A. M., read electrocar diograms; 10-12, make patient rounds; afternoon: make spe ( cialty conference. Sometime in-between, or afterwards: li t brary research. The after , noon program might offer: | Monday, a department sem , inar; Tuesday, a death (au [ topsy) conference; Wednes day, part of a lecture series; Thursday, grand rounds, and Friday, a seminar. “One big question,” Dr. Welt asks, “is to what degree will ‘the students’ be able to carry on their own ‘mini-uni versity’ once they return to practice? Inspired by the sabbatical, will they be able to keep up-to-date in the face of the information explosion and the shortage of medical manpower?” "We would really like to attract the man in solo prac tice,” IWelt says, “but it s very difficult for him to get away. We have thought, though, of sending out a senior assistant resident to take over while the physician is on his sabbatical.” Like most of the sabbatical physicians to date, Dr. Kidd practices in partnership with another colleague. Dr. Kidd estimates that a pool of some 30,000 resident physicians could be tapped to relieve the practicing physi cians on sabbatical if the con tinuing education project were adopted in every state. Such a plan, he says, would serve the dual function of allowing -the practitioner to catch up while the resident would gain practical experience impos sible to match in a hospital setting.

Hay Fever Hay fever, an allergic reac tion to some ordinarily harm less substance in the air, affects more than 10 million Amer icans. Sniffling, sneezing, run ning eyes and breathing prob lems are caused by an allergic sensitivity to ragweed pollens which become airborne during the summer months when pol lination is occuring. Your phy sician can often identify the cause of your discomfort and provide you with temporary relief. Since approximately one-third of untreated hay fever cases develop into asth ma, physicians warn against doctoring yourself with non prescription remedies.
