HOT WEATHER DOG CARE
By Bob Bartos
Prominent Dog Authority
■' Dogs are. like people in that
they can get very uncomfortable
during Hbt weather, if proper
care isn’t taken. For example,
most veterinarians advise strip
ping or clipping dogs with long,
thick coats, which is-a change
ifrom previous times when it was
'generally understood long coats

In an up ended wooden box and
turning the open side away from
the sun. See that your pet has a
.cool, shady place to rest.
On extremely hot days, sponge
your pet, or spray him w|th the
hose. Obviously, you shouldn't
let him exercise too strenuously.
Feed him in the evening and re
duce his ration. Use a good flea
powder or a sponge bath con
taining a flea control solution
on him every week — and check
him for ticks, if you live in an
area where they’re prevalent.
Never leave your dog in a
closed car during hot weather.
Park in the shade and open the
windows several inches on both
sides.
Some breeds of dogs are par
ticularly susceptible to heat
prostration due to breed charac
teristics. Furthermore, dogs that
are overfat, weakened by dis
ease, and old dogs (who are
often suffering from heart dis
ease) are more likely to suffer
from the heat
For prompt first aid, place the
dog in a tub of cool water, or
put him in front of an electric
fan and soak him repeatedly
with water until his temperature
drops. Call.your veterinarian.
Feeding Tip: During hot
weather a dog needs less food.
Underfeed rather than overfeed
a mature dog during hot weath
er. A good quality dog food such
as Friskies will supply his needs,
and assure that he is fed • bal

As the Smiths returned through
f the Golden Gate after their six
!- months trip they said the United
r States sure looked good to them,
i “It looked better than ever to us,”
they said, “after seeing some of
* the conditions under which other
people live.” They covered ap

They are now living at Ocean
lake, Oregon, in their new home,
which they recently purchased.
Candidate Favors
An Omnibus Biii
In the event the Tennessee Plan
fails and Alaska is not granted
Statehood, Ben Hitchcock, Inde
pendent candidate for the Terri
torial House, from Palmer, Alaska,
favors the memorializing of Con
gress by the 1357 legislature for
an Omnibus Bill. The bill should
contain those reforms most need
ed here and which would auto
mat.caliy come with Statehood.
“There is in fact,” he said, “one
important advantage we can ask
for, which will not be open to us
if we do become a state -that is,
a period of from 10 to 20 years ex
emption from the now unjust f'ed
eral tax-without-represen'.at ion.’’
“Among other important meas
ures an Omnibus Bill might in
clude,” he said, are “control over
our fish and wildlife; changes in
mineral and land laws; transpor
tation regulations—the list is long.
To gain political justice we should
be allowed to elect our own gov
ernor; our legislatin'3 should be
given wider range; our judiciary
needs attention.”
