2-day-olds Found In Damaged Nest
She's Raising (More) Infant Squirrels
Sandy Ramey is "raising" a
couple of infant squirrels whose
mother didn't return home for
them after their nest was destroyed
March 22.
Miss Ramey is experienced at
raising infant, homeless animals,
and she's got professional training
and experience to know how. She's
a veterinary medical technician at
the Raeford Animal Clinic.
Miss Ramey showed her two
most recently acquired "foster"
babies - Dick and Jane ?? last
Thursday at the clinic. She takes
them home with her after work and
brings them back to the clinic with
her. She said a telephone lineman
found them March 22 in their
damaged nest in insulation on a
telephone line. The nest was dam
aged by necessity so the line
man could reach the insulation. .
The lineman who found them
was Larry Lovette, and Tom Pil
kington brought them to her.
The squirrels were absolutely
hairless, only two days old, and
afflicted with diarrhea, though
mild cases of it. Diarrhea is a killer
of infant animals, she said. She
corrected that condition and
started them on sugar water,
feeding it with a medicine dropper.
After a couple of days of that diet,

she put them on a synthetic dog
milk that closely resembles the real
thing produced by mother dogs for
their puppies.
From the milk substitute, shell
change them to cereal, then to baby
food. She said infant squirrels are
wild about strained sweet potatoes
and corn specially.
After they get too old for baby
food, they'll go to crackers, then to
"regular squirrel food ?? apples
and sunflower seeds, for instance.
Soon as they're "eatin good,"
Miss Ramey said, she'll turn them
loose outside her house in the
country, as by then they'll be old
enough - maybe a couple of
months old ?? to make it on their
own.
But that doesn't mean that's the
last shell see of the critters. She
turned one of her baby squirrels
loose last September or Ortober,
after raising H from the time it was
four or five weeks old. But she is
certain that it's the squirrel that
hangs around her horse barn where
the corn is stored. One strong niece
of evidence that it's the foster
squirrel" is it isn't afraid of
humans; the other squirrels around
her place take to the trees when
they are approached by humans.
Miss Ramey also tried to raise
two other homeless infant squirrels
but they didn't make it. She
believes they were injured when
the tree their nest was in fell to the
ground, before she sot them.
'Their stomachs looked 'funny',"
she said. Miss Ramey also has
raised a couple of infant 'possums
(whose mother had been killed) and
a goat from infancy and is waiting
for an armadillo she ordered a
while ago from a man in Texas.
They ve joined at one time or
other her permanent "family" -
her horse, dog, and cat.

Meeting On Food Bank April 6
On Tuesday, April 6, there will
be a meeting on the development of
a Food Bank that could serve
Robeson, Scotland, Hoke, Bladen,
and Columbus counties.
All concerned citizens, churches,
civic groups, community agencies,
and businesses are invited to send
representatives to this important
meeting. The meeting will be held
in Pembroke at The House, the
home of the Baptist Student Or
ganization at Pembroke State Uni
versity. The House is located across
the street from the parking lot of
the Performing Arts Center at the
university. The multi-county meet
ing will begin at 1 p.m. and ts being
sponsored by Robeson County
Clergy and Laity Concerned.
Barbara Oates, director of the
Community Food Bank in N.C., in
Raleigh, will describe a Food Bank,
how it is operated, and how one can
be started in this area.
Also, Shirley Locklear from the
Lumbee Regional Development
Association and Carolyn King from
i Robeson County Church and Com
' munity Center will tell how their
k organizations are already using the
w Food Bank in Raleigh.
The concept behind Food Bank
ing is simple: there are hungry
people, and there is surplus food.
Food Banks collect edible, but
commercially unsaleable, food
items and get the food to hungry
people.
In the process. Food Banks help
the food industry solve the problem
of waste by salvaging usable foods.
Any non-profit organization can
join a Food Bank and purchase
food items at a very low cost in
order to serve individuals and
families in need of the food.
Businesses receive tax incentives
for donating food to a Food Bank,
save the costs of disposal, and
participate in a good, pu6lic service
effort. In turn, the entire com
munity served by the Food Bank
benefits from reducing hunger and
malnutrition and finding a solution
to a serious problem from within
the community itself.
A film will be shown, and those
present will begin planning for the
development of a Food Bank at the
meeting.
For more information, call 52 1 -
3269 (day or night) or 628-6346
(night).

Maundy Thursday
April 8, 1982 .
Read Matthew 26:36-46
(J eras) prayed, "My Father, If It
be possible, let this cap pass from
me; nevertheless, not as I win, bat
as thoa wilt."
?Matthew 26:39 (RSV)
LONELINESS is one of the
strongest of human emotions, and
it can be one of the most hurtful.
Jesus experienced loneliness in
Gethsemane. He had been sepa
rated from His disciples; even those
three He brought along had fallen
asleep. Judas had already gone to
betray Him. In the garden, Jesus
shrank from the humiliation and
death He was about to face. The
loneliness of His decision caused
intense pain.
The prayer Jesus prayed echoes
the one He taught His disciples,
"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done." After having beer in conv
munication with God in praye*
Jesus went from the garden with the
resolve to do God's will despite the
apathy and indifference of others.
With Jesus' example before us,
we can face whatever we need to
face. We are not alone. God is with
us, even as God was with Jesus in
Gethsemane.
PRAYER: At we face the
anxieties and fears of oar world,
dear God, we find reassurance ti)
knowing that Yon are with as. We
rejoice that In Christ we can
overcome the world. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
God is with us; we are never
really alone.
