IName tlie Animal and the Ailment: A&M Vets Have Probably Treated It You name the animal and ail ment and the chances are that A&M veterinarians have treated it at one time or another. These animal doctors have run up against just about everything, from a Skye Terrier that had swallowed a woman’s nylon stock ing, to a Tibetan yak with "hard ware disease,” to a turtle with a bad case of indigestion. But the vets consider it part of the game in their profession—a profession, by the way, that de mands the ultmost in skill and patience. Sick animals can’t tell the doctor where they hurt and they sometimes react in an un friendly manner. Being the only school of veteri nary medicine in the state, things stay busy for the professors in addition to their duties as teachers and researchers. Farmers, ranch ers and pet owners see to that. Dr. M. R. Calliham, head of the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, said that large ani mals brought in amount to about 2.000 head per year. Most of these are horses and cattle. 7,000 Annually With the small animals made up primarily of dogs and cats, approx imately 7,000 are treated annually. Dr. Calliham said that around 3.000 animals are treated on field calls in a year’s time. Much of this is herd work such as vaccinating a WVLQIM 500 WITH ALL-ACTION TREAD Revolutionary Break-Through in Tire Manufacture Gives You Action-Traction in the Center of the Tread ★ puts up to $3% more working elements on the road at all times ★ assures safer stops and positive starts ★ provides an extra margin of safety at high speeds , , / '■ k sets new standards of protection against blowouts, punctures, skidding * INCREASES TIRE MILEAGE UP TO 36% Here's how Firestone.. .for the FIRST TIME in tire history ;. .puts traction in the center of the tread: Revolutionary 3-piece mold Firestone’s exclusive 3- piece mold is the secret of total-action-traction.

NEW ALL-ACTION TREAD These drawings illustrate how the action area extends the full width of the tread, with no “dead spot” in the center of the tread ... -where action-traction is needed most. Some manufacturers even leave the center open .. . offering no traction at all in the center of the tread.

Lameness is the big disorder of horses, he said. With cattle, it is internal parasites. Dogs suffer a lot from internal parasites, too, but they also get their share of an ail ment called a distemper-hepatitis complex. Cats, being the night prowlers they are, are most often brought in with fight wounds. Other States A&M even gets ailing animals from other states, like Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Dr. Calliham said a New Mexico stockman and his family brought their favorite saddle horse all the way in a pickup truck to College Station. Diagnosis: eye cancer. Dr. William Banks, professor of veterinary medicine and surgery, cured the animal with irradiation treatments. “You never saw a happier man and family when they were able to take their horse home again,” Dr. Calliham said. Among the unusual animals treated at the hospital were a llama and a lion from a circus which visited Bryan. The yak pre viously mentioned was all humped up and sick with hardware disease, which means it was X-rayed and found to be carrying a nail in its stomach wall. Swallow Metal Dr. Calliham said animals in the cattle family sometimes swallow bits of metal while eating hay or grazing. Over in the hospital’s small ani mal clinic, veterinarians have long ceased to be surprised at the wide variety of animal patients that worried owners bring to them. Dr. E. W. Ellett, acting chief of the small animal section, said the list includes monkeys, parrots, parakeets, canaries, rabbits, de odorized skunks, raccoons, turtles, one javelina hog, an ocelot, or two, pet rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, pigeons, chinchillas, minks and various wild birds native to the area. According to Dr. Ellett, dogs are about as bad as cattle when it comes to swallowing things they shouldn’t. Nylon Case The Skye Terrier-nylon stocking case is a good example, he said. A Cocker Spaniel had a peach pit removed from its stomach, and the veterinarians conducted a tedious operation to rid a Boston’ Terrier of an over-size pork bone it tried to swallow. Other dogs down- rocks, sticks “and no telling what else.” Veterinarians say their profes sion is a very satisfying and grati fying one. They say it has to be this way to balance out the fact that sick animals sometimes show their thanks by trying to kick, scratch, gore and bite the hand that cures them.

Star Calf - Roper Hits Summer Shows By The Associated Press GRAPEVINE, Tex.—When talk of how summer vacations were spent gets started around Grape vine Junior High School one faculty member usually has an attentive audience. He is John Hosea, 43-year-old mathematics teacher, who spends his summer vacation as a calf roper with rodeo shows. A calf roping-math teacher may sound like a filter tip cigarette commercial, but John has been roping calves long before such ad vertising flashed across television screens. For the past 10 years John has appeared as a contestant in many of the top rodeos in the country and does pretty well when the prize money is awarded. The, tall, lanky, former football player at Texas Wesleyan College started calf roping after he re turned from service in World War II in 1945 to help develop shoulder muscles weakened by orthopedic surgery. After several years of practice, John felt he was doing well enough to join the Rodeo Cow boys Association and compete with full-time cowboys for rodeo prizes. Traveling the rodeo circuit not only is summer employment for John and provides a vacation for the family, but also serves as a means for acquiring the six hours THURSDAY & FRIDAY “ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN” with Tony Randall & Eddie Hodges Plus “MAN ON A STRING” with Ernest Borgnine SATURDAY “THE MUGGER” “THE BEAST OF BUDAPEST” “YELLOWSTONE KELLY” Plus 4 Cartoons SUNDAY “SERGEANT RUTLEDGE’ with Jeffrey Hunter Pins “NO NAME ON THE BULLET” with Audie Murphy Look your best at formal affairs Look your best on gala occa sions in formal clothes cleaned to perfection by us. Your “audience” will applaud! Try us soon. Campus Cleaners formal education or travel required by the school system for its teach ers. Mrs. Hosea, a teacher in Grapevine elementary school, and John keep a log of their travels in which they record customs typical of certain areas, land formations, crops and industries in the many states they visit. This material when complete is accepted under the travel ■ requirements the same as journeys to foreign lands. Each summer will be the last for making the tour avows John as the fall school term starts. Dozens of reasons are given. The children are growing up, dad is getting a little old to keep up the pace, mother wants to stay home and entertain during the summer. But the following spring after the books have been tucked away, the kids sensing the far-away look in their dad’s eyes, suggest: “Can’t we go again just this year?” THE BATTALION Thursday, September 8, 1960 College Station, Texas Page 3 Drawing Problems Top Teachers Meet A Junior College Workshop, pur pose of which is to provide an opportunity for discussion of the problems of teaching engineering drawing by teachers of the junior colleges, will be held here tomorrow and Saturday. “Participation by high school teachers is desirable due to the changes in high school drawing curricula now in process,” Dr. W.
