Effort To Protect
N. C. Livestock

RALKIGH ? In an effort to pro
teet North Carolina livestock a
gainst Bang's disease, bovine tuber
eulosis and other infectious diseas
es, Dr. L. J. Faulhaber, chief of :h<
State Department of Agriculiure'i
veterinary division, has instructed
livestock inspectors to enforct
strictly a regulation aimed at p s
venting the entry of diseased cattii
from other states. ?
Me said recent reports from in
spectOrs indicate that a consider
able number of cattle from neigh
boring states are being brought
North Carolina auctiop markets ir
violation of a regulation requiring
compliance with minimum health
sianciarus. mis regulation stipulates
that cattle entering the state, ex
cept for immediate slaughter, ?hal
, be accompanied by a proper Health

Doctors have just woTked out a
new kind of brain operation called
"frontal lobotomy." (Anything
to confuse the issue,, eh, Doc?)
The operation takes about eight
minutes and consists of poking a
"refined" ice pick into the frontal
lobe. The idea is to puncture your
"worry ability." ' Eight minutes
with the ice pick" and you're as
relaxed as a oucket ol ashes. You
? don't care if.school keeps or not,
and the mention of income taxes
. sends you into gales of laughter.
You couldn't worry if there was
money in it! Perhaps this will
soon become a regular home service
from your local ice-fnan?

"The purpose of this regulation
