CARE OF THE OLD DOG
by Dr. E. M. Gildow -
Director, Friskies Research Kennels
When your dog begins to
show his age . . . his muzzle
greys ... and he loses some of
his usual pep, pamper him a
little and give him some extra
care. He’s earned it. After all,
he’s devoted his whole life to
being your devoted companion.
Make his bed a little warmer
and a little softer. His old bones
are brittle from inefficient u e
of calcium and he is more sensi
tive to the cold from poor cir
culation of blood. Make sure
he’s out of drafts in the winter
and keep him as cool as possible
in the summer. Extreme treat
or cold is hard on an old dog.
Dry him thoroughly whenever
he’s been out in the rain or
snow.
The aging fellow should be
checked periodically by your
veterinarian so that trouble
may be caught before it gets
out of hand. Your veterinarian,
for example, may be able to
ward off deafness by keeping
the ear canal free of mites,
foreign material or accumula
tion of ear wax. You, of course,
can help by cleaning your pet's
ears regularly.
Your veterinarian will be ahle
to spot defective teeth and re
move them when necessary.
Your contribution is to clean
your pet’s teeth regularly to
keep them free of tartar.
Help keep his eyes clear and
bright by feeding a diet ample
in vitamin A. Help remove
foreign material and irritation
to the eyes by bathing them
with 1 r/c salt water or by apply
ing an eye ointment supplied
by your veterinarian.
Feeding Tip: A top-grade,
commercially prepared dog food
such as Friskies contains the
proper amount and balance of
calcium and phosphorus plus
vitamin D. These three help pre
vent the development of brittle
bones in the old dog.
: cording to Mrs. Preston, “and that
he or she wants to be able to
draw or paint the things seen—
and wants to do this in the short
est possible time.”
* 'The first half of the course will
be the basic foundations of draw
ing and introductions to art and
its techniques. The second part
will introduce color values and
forms, as well as first steps in
water colors or oil.
Mrs. Preston further stated:
“However, if those registering for
the course have had some prev
ious art training, the first part
will be curtailed and the class
will go directly into renditions of
color in the desired medium.”
Classes meet twice a week.
The automotive mechanics
course will deal with the funda
mentals of the gasoline engine and
its function in connection with
the automobile. The major em
phasis will be on the theories be
hind the various units. Repair and
“kinks” will also be included.
If sufficient interest is manifest,
a class on the methods and use
of the metal lathe will be given.
1 his will include such practices
as straight cuts, tapers, thread cut
ting, knurling and others.

Many a political pro, with re

Time says: “The Union's strap
