One of tie sources for information was people who had firs t- Jiaad knowledge. NC’s Most Popular Game Animal By Jim Dean VVhat is North Carolina's amt popular game animal? Unless you've been read ting recent statistics, you imight flunk that question. How many would guess quail? fWhat about rabbits? Doves maybe? Nope. It's the gray squirrel. (Don't worry, I didn't get it Children’s Colds The three Rs reading, (w)riting, and (a)rithmetic should be joined by a fourth runny nose. Few mothers would argue this Children have more colds than anyone, and the com mon cold spreads rapidly through a school community, before it goes home to infect entire families. In a medical article on the common cold, a pediatrician wrote that the common co*d is the most common type of illness in his practice, and the most frequent type of minor illness in temperate zones. "Almost everybody, includ ing physicians, has one or more common colds per year,” he added. Colds should not be neg lected, physicians warn. Seri ous complications may evelop. In children, otitis media is the most common of these an inflammation of the middle ear in which mucus clogging the eusta chian tubes traps germs which cause infection. Mild nose drops such as Neo-Sy nephrine are most often recommended to keep nasal passages free and eusta chian tubes open The drops are available in special pedi atric strengths of 1/8 and 1/4%. They should be used according to package instruc tions, or as directed by the physician. The child with a cold and fever often loses body fluid when the fever makes him perspire. He becomes "dried out’,' which lowers his resis tance to germs still more. Drinking milk, water, fruit juices, and carbonated bever ages helps to prevent dehydration. To help prevent spread of infection at school and at home it is wise to have every member of the family (and at school, every member of the class, if possible) wash hands frequently with an antibac terial skin cleanser such as pHisoliex. The cold victim should also be carefully in structed to cover his coughs and sneezes, and to place soiled paper tissues in a dis posable receptacle. Birth defects ,are torever ...unless , yp u help. David Greene, a freshman at Bowman High School and a previois 7th grade pupil of Mrs. Grahams spent four weeks in Madras, India in the summer of 1970. He was invited to the 7th grade to tell the pupils about liis trip. right either.) A fairlyreoent survey showed that 317,602 hunters made 2,236,665 trips for squirrels during a hunting season. Compare this with 289, 240 hunters who made 1,886,581 trips • for rabbits; 182,043 hunters who made 1,220,808 trips forquail;and 168,894 hunters who made 886,837 trips for doves. Per haps for this reason the gray squirrel was named North Carolina's state mammal a few years back. HoUombe On Honor Roll Patti Holcombe,daughter of Mr. and Mb. Harlan Hol combe of Burnsville, N.C., has been included on the ho nor roll at Glade Valley School, Glade Valley,N.C. Patti is a junior at Glade Val ley School. & Families can now obtain a Farmer’s Home Administration Loan. & Dver 100 Million Dollars is projected to North Carolina for fiscal 72, to build new homes under a program of the Farm er's Home Administration (an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture). This money will build approximately 8,000 new homes. You may be qualified for a home loan under this program, if you meet these qualifications: 1. You plan to build in a rural area or town which has a popula tion of 10,000 persons or less. 2. Your adjusted family income per year is $8,000.00 or less. 3. You are unable to obtain a home loan elsewhere at a rate of interest you can reasonably afford. IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WITH THESE QUALIFICATIONS, GIVE THEM THIS INFORMATION!

This was one of the most interesting parts of the study of South Asia. It's not hard to understand why the gray squirrel is our most fxrpmlar game species. He is abundant across the state and fairly easy to hunt in all types of terrain. Hun ters do not need a lot of spe cial equipment, nor do they need to sink a lot of time or money into training a dog (though squirrel dogs are in common use). Finally, squir rels are challenging targets and tasty tidbits on the din - ner table.
