According to the magazine, ani mal welfarists are arguing that producers are contributing to "ab normal behavior, distress and phy sical disorders" among livestock and poultry by overcrowding them into pens and cages. Actually most farm animals and poultry today have a better life than their predecessors did years ago. Consider the typical North Caro lina hog in winter weather. If he's like most, he lives in a sophisticated enclosed swine facility. The tem perature is controlled and electric fans ventilate for his well-being. There was a time when practic ally every Tar Heel hog was outside in the cold blasts. Often, mud was his bed. As for feeding, the hog of today gets his nourishment systematically or automatically about the same time each day. Today's hog gets a better balanced teed ration, one that's out of the mild, and is more wholesome and more nutritious. The facilities are also much cleaner today for the hog than ever before. Much the same advantages can be said tor cattle, as well as for poultry, being cared for under controlled cvironmetit. Controlled environment for live stock and poultry has helped lead to improvements in management, genetics, nutrition, housing, ani mal health and streamlined pro duction methods that produce a happier and more healthy animal. in fact, no element of society has more compassion for poultry and livestock than the producer. This is best exemplified by the high levels of production and low mortality rates being achieved modern live stock and poultry operations. women but one ot the women jumped back when she saw the truck. She bumped into her com panion. and both fell to the street, Wiggins said. They were taken to a doctor's office a few blocks away but were found not hurt. .4 T GRADUA TION -?

By Hoke County Health Department Rabies Shots For Dogs , Cats Advised Rabies is rapidly becoming a threat to the general public health in counties near the South Carolina border. Recent confirmed reports of rabies in cats and doe* have alerted North Carolina animal control personnel. Vaccination of dogs is required in every county: however, many people fail to' get their dogs vaccinated. Dogs that are free to roam or hunt arc particularly susceptible to rabies. Rabies has been confirmed in a number of raccoons found in the South Carolina counties near the North Carolina border. Recently, two large counties. Wake and Mecklenburg, enacted mandatory immunizations of cats for rabies. A bill requiring the vaccination of cats has been pre sented to the North Carolina General Assembly. Cats are hunt ers by nature; and in rural areas they are frequently exposed to raccoons and bats, both of which are possible carriers of rabies. Cats potentially pose a more serious problem than dogs since very lew have been vaccinated, and tltey roam Ireely throughout the area. Local public officials, animal control officers, and local veteri narians support the vaccination of animals for the prevention of rabies. Hoke County citizens are urged to call any ot these offices it they have any questions. Dogs and cats can be vaccinated at the nearest veterinarian office for a modest fee or at the annual rabies clinic sponsored by the Hoke Talent Shows Slated For Area Five talent shows will be held in this area to raise money to help the Atlanta police investigation of Atlanta black children.
