his short tail: We knew he ..

_was feeling better but his
head was very swollen and

the swelling had extended _

down under his neck.

I phoned Jack just before
six o’clock: “you can come
down for him, he is going to
be all right, though he'll look
pretty grim for a day or two.
I am going to send. some
tablets home with you: to

give him in the next few.

meals.”

A little later he was at the
office telling me the sequel.
“You know, Doc, when I got
back home the yard was full

of people who came over to —
see the dead snake...and—

then Stan Miles, our

neighbor and a noted joker’ —

arrived and asked, ‘Did you
get the other one... you know

they always travel in pairs.’ I.

never saw people disappear
so fast.”

QUESTION: We seem to.

have fleas in the pets every
year and I suspect the
grounds harbor them. Is
there anything we can do to
cut down the number?

ANSWER: In addition to the

various insecticides and .

repellants that are put on the

animal, an attempt should be ~
made to kill those inhabiting

any parts of the house,
basement or yard.

The eggs and pupa are
resistant to sprays. The,
larvae and nymphs (different
‘stages in the _ flea’s
development) are suscep-

tible to a reasonably inex-

pensive Chlordane solution,
made up in water at a 2%
strength and sprayed over
the lawn, in the woodshed,
on the welcome mats, front
and back, in all nooks and
‘crannies of the basement
and downstairs storeroom
where the dogs sleep on hot
summer nigats.

This can be obtained from
any agricultural store or
garden supply. It is safe to
use on dogs in a .5% solution
but is toxic to cats so see that
the latter don't tome into
‘contact with it’ ‘when it is
freshly sprayed.

Fleas are becoming more
resistant to insecticides all
the time and new products
are being developed. The
latest is called Fenthion and
is reported to be effective
against almost all external
parasites including mange
mites with little toxicity to
the animal.

QUESTION: Our lawn
develops brown areas
especially at this time of the
year which I suspect is
caused by dogs urinating on
it. What can we do?

ANSWER: This is probably
the cause...usually females
who squat rather than males
who seck an upright post,
bush or tree. Rainfall is
minimal and lawns are not
being watered much yet so
the high nitrogen “burns” the
young new shoots of grass.

Sprinkling will dilute it
and prevent the unsightly
appearance. Various
repellants are recommended
by the garden stores but the
most effective 1 know is a
Jour-foot high fence.

The cost of dental care is a major concern in many
families ...and Social Credit is moving to meet that
concern. In the recent budget, your Social Credit
government announced its commitment to develop’ -
B.C?s first provincially-operated Denticare program...
with legislation to be introduced during the next
session of the Legislature. The new comprehensive
-Denticare program will provide an important measure
of protection for those British Columbians who are not —
covered by an existing dental plan. It’s one more way
Social Credit policies benefit individuals throughout B.C.

From small businessmen to trade union members,
Social Credit candidates are people from all walks of life...
united in their belief that Social Credit is best for B.C.
