Why Unspent
Drugs Can’t Be
Returned
Sound the alarm ... A few
of our customers have raised a
serious question about phar
macy policy by their requests
for us to accept the return of
. unspent (unused) medicines.
Simply put, once medicine
leaves the drug store, that’s
that! It’s beyond the,point of.
return. Sanitation laws and
pharmacy ethics explicitly
forbid us from taking back
medicines for any reason.
Just as you wouldn’t ex
pect a restaurant owner to
scrape leftover food back into
his serving dishes, neither
should you expect our phar
macy to accept the return of
half-used medicines. Diseases
can be transferred too easily
this way. How would you like
to take pills that another sick

handled? Yet, people still ask
... Sorry, but no thank you!

New Grade Standards Are
Adopted By Cattlemen
BY WM. BLEDSOE
County Extension Chairman
At a special meeting of the
Western North Carolina live
stock market sales committee
which met July 23 at
Asheville, possible changes in
grade standards for 1975
graded cattle sales were
discussed. Committeejnen at
tending from Yancey County
were Carlie Rice and Bill
Buckner.
The committee unani
mously adopted the following
grade standards for feeder,
steer sales this fall on a trial
basis. No other graded sales
will be using these standards.
They are as follows: ;
SPECIFICATIONS FOR N.C.
FEEDER CATTLE GRADES
N.C. #1 Feeder steers for this
grade will be larger than
average in frame size with
average or better muscling.
N.C. #1 steers wiH have
sufficient frame size and
muscling to be. fed to
slaughter weights above 1100
lbs. with the final weight
depending on breed and
feeding program; and pro
ducing U.S.D.A. choice car
casses with yield grade of 1
and 2, if slaughtered at the
proper time.
Heifer cattle will have the
same characteristics except
they will reach the same
degree of finish at 150 lbs.
lighter than steers.
N.C. #2 Feeder steers for this
grade will possess average
frame size- with average or
better muscling. N.C. #2
steers will have sufficient
frame size a#id, muscling to be
fed to daughter weights
above 1000 lbs. with final
weight depending on breed
and feeding program; and
producing U.S.D.A. choice
carcasses with yield grade 2
and 3, if slaughtered at the
proper tjme.
N.C. #3 Feeder steers for this
grade will possess below
average frame size with
average or better muscling.
N.C. #3 steers in general will
mature at a lighter weight and
finish earlier than N.C. #1 and
N.C. #2. These steers will
reach U.S.D.A. choice car
casses grade at less than 1000
lbs. with yield grade of 2 and
3, if slaughtered at the proper
time.
N.C. Standard. Standard
feeder steers may be fed to
U.S.D-A.choice carcass grade
but because of the lack of
conditioning and conforma
tion, a longer feeding period
will be necessary. Steers in
the Standard grade, frame
size will vary; however, they
will possess below average
muscling required for the
N.C. #l, #2, and #3 grades.
The lack of muscling will be
evident by flatness through
the stifle region, the lack of
bulge in the rear quarters and
the closeness of stance of the
rear legs. As viewed from the
front, the lack of muscling will
be evident in the flatness of
the forearm, lack of bulge to
the shoulders and front legs
set close together. They may
be narrow at the tail head and
pinched in the heart girth.
They are usually lacking in
fullness throOgh the crops,
back and loin with slightly
prominent hips and shoul
ders.
N.C. Common. Feeder steers
will possess the minimum
qualifications being thinly
muscled, angular, rough, and
irregular in appearance
throughout. The muscles of
the back, loin and rump tend
to be very thin with prominent
hips and shoulder joints.
Some evidence of unthrifti
ness may be tolerated. These
cattle will require a longer
feeding period and will
normally be fed to U.S.D.A.
standard and good grades.
The grades N.C. Inferior
and Shorts will be rejected
and not sold. It is anticipated
that this new grading system
will facilitate grading short
cattle that have been a source
of irritation for farmers and
buyers for a long time. Cattle

PICTHER
WASHINGTON—I happened to catch a local television pro
gram here the other evening when one of the most highly
publicized “liberal" members of the U. S. Senate was being
interviewed. His responses to the several questions during the
interview bordered on pure comedy.
"This is a great Senate," he said. "It has accomplished so
much to benefit the American people," he said. Then he
went on to list such things as various spending bills, the seven
year extension of the so-called "Voting Rights Act of 1965,"
the food stamp program expansion, and several other pieces of
legislation which, he declared, "are responsive to the needs of
the American people.
AMAZED—I was amazed (and frankly delighted) when a
reporter retorted: "Senator, you've got to be kidding."
The reporter went on: "If this is such a great Senate, then
why do only 15% of the American people approve of the way
Congress is running its business?"
The Senator, for once in his life, was at a loss for words.
HeJumbled and he stuttered, and finally launched into a mon
ologue of criticism of the White House. Before he was through,
he had even brought up the name so Herbert Hoover. The
interview ended with the hapless Senator trying vainly to
regain his composure.
. POOR—The performance of the Congress, by any reason
able yardstick, is poor. The Senate is so indecisive that it has
wasted seven months without being able even to settle a dis
pute about a vacant Senate seat. That's one issue that the
Senate could, and should, have settled almost instantly—the
close and hotly-disputed Senatorial election should have been
sent back, months ago, to the people of New Hampshire to
decide.
As for excessive Federal spending, the Senate has approved
one enormous piece of spending legislation after another,
without batting an eye. This need not have been. I have
pleaded, time and time again, for a reduction in Federal
spending. I have sent forward amendment after admendment
But time after time, the "liberal" majority in the Senate has
voted against reductions in Federal spending. Only a handful
of Senators supported my proposal on a 10% cut in the huge
appropriations bill for operating the Congress. The food stamp
program, as a result of actions by this Congress, will cost $8
billion a year within the next year or so. And so on.
VOTING 'RIGHTS'—The seven year extension of the so
called "Voting Rights Act of 1965" was a farce. It was polit
ical legislation, pure and simple. It is—as former Senator Sam
J. Ervin, Jr., described it on numerous occasions—a punitive
political attack on seven Southern stater, and unconstitutional
as well. In voting to extend the life of this very bad law, the
"liberals"in the Senate arrogantly refused to make it appli
cable to their own states.
They voted down every amendment designed to make the
law applicable across-the-board to all 50 states. Debate was
shut off before the debate even began when the bill was called
up. The "liberals" have the votes to do anything they like.
And they are doing it.
But I believe that the American people are wiser than the
politicians. That's why 85% of the Americans polled do not
approve the way the Congress is being operated.
When winter comes, there is sure to be a critical shortage of
natural gas. There probably will be a shortage of gasoline, and
fuel oil, too. Factories will have to close down, in that event.
And when those dreary days arrive, the American people can
thank the Congress of the United States for their woes. It'll be
interesting to see the boastful "liberal" Senator go on tele
vision and explain that away.
•T4a-ao-a
adequate muscling and thrif
tiness will go into N.C. #3.
Cattle of small frame size with
inadequate muscling, finish
and thriftiness will be graded
short and rejected.
Hojstein steer producers
should note that these grade
standards will apply to them
also. These grade standards
will not apply to feeder calves
at this time. The schedule of
Asheville steer sales this fall
are September 16, September
23 and October 14. The first
two dates are for Steers and
Heifers. The last date is
Steers, Heifers and Holsteins.
Cattle will be weighed in and
graded the previous day in all
cases.
