LI. C. Hobdy, Jr. of the CG Air
Detachment stationed here, relat
ed a first hand experience in which
lie participated, when a seaman
• was taken from a ship a thousand
milles at sea and brought to a hos
pital. Hobdy and the other crew
; members were cited recently for
j the rescue. An account was given
j in fast week’s issue of the Kodiak
Mirror, oc the event and the sub
sequent citation.
Chief difficulty in effecting the
aescue, Hobdy stated, was the
nature of the oceans turbulence.
Winds at 20 miles, and^ heavy
..wells, with a wall of water five
to seven feet high at regular inter
vals* made landing difficult in the
vicinity of the merchant ship,
which was off of San Francisco
about 1000 miles. After landing
successfully on a crest, the stricken
mm was transferred to the plane,
by considerable maneuvering, due
_* tne choppy sea. By means of
<ATQ, the airship managed after
bending its hydroilap, to get into
the air and complete the rescue.
YOUR DOG AND FLEAS
By Dr. E. M. Gildow, D.V.M.
Director, Friskics Research Kennels
Fleas’ chief purpose in life
seems to be to annoy dogs —
and this they do with a zest
and efficiency unmatched by
any other insect. They also have
a sideline — that is, they are
the intermediate host of the dog
tapeworm. Consequently, when
a dog actually catches a flea
and swallows it, he may be in*
Voting himself with tapeworms.
Fortunately for dogs, though,
fleas aren’t too hard to get rid
of. There are a number of ex
eellent preparations on the mar
ket that come in both powder
and liquid fottn. The new para
siticides such as DJD.T., chlor*
dane and Lindane are preferred.
For fleas they’re usually mixed
with other ingredients in pow
der or liquid form and act as
a residual flea-conttol agent.
Be sure to prevent the develop
ment of fleas around the house
and yard by using these same
parasiticides in the nest box,
doghouse or yard.
If the dog is allowed to asso
ciate with other dogs or to have
the run of the neighborhood,
he will probably pick up a new
supply of fleas. So deflea the
pooch anytime he needs it. Flea
eggs develop into fleas more
rapidly during warm weather.
This accounts for the greater
flea problem during summer
time. If you have any doubt
about the right flea-control ap
proach, call your veterinarian.
