' J-- Sports Afield THE NEWBERRY SUN mmmmm THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1955 _ - (By TED KESTING) This time of year dogs require special care. Bodily cleanliness and sanitation around the kennel house and yard are absolutely essential to a dog’s health. Parasites of all kinds thrive during the hot summer months, and particular care must be taken (during this period if the dog’s comfort and well-being are to be insured. The development of DDT has about solved the flea problem, but care should be exercised in its use. Sprays of five per cent strength are highly recommended. Derris powder is especially effective in the control of external parasites, according to Henry P. Davis, dog editor for Sports Afield magazine. Clipping your tdog will make him feel cooler but it will also make him more vulnerable to insects—and he may get badly sunburned. Davis mever recommends clipping long-haired dogs. He prefers to “atrip’’ them with a stripping or plucking knife. This removes the dead hair, thins out the underpinning, but leaves an adequate coat for protecton. Be sure your dog has a fresh supply of water at all times, and plenty of shade. If you have no natural shade, plant sunflowers in the kennel yard. They are Cast-growing plants an)d make excellent Shade. 'Where is no real need to keep your hunting dog idle during the summer. It is neither pleasing to him, nor to >nis advantage. His muscles become soft, his keen ambition fades, and he is prone to for get some of the lessons he has learned in g: ame-handling manners. This period offers the hunting dog owner wonderful opprtunities for training and conditioning, in preparation for the open season ahead. The pointing dog and spaniel fanciers can devote the late afternoons to yard-training lessons and to brushing up on the retrieving depart ment. For the retriever owner, summertime is the best period to in troduce youngsters to work in waiter. Cool, damp summer evenings offer the hound man an opportunity to give his dogs much-needed exercise and trailing experience by turning them loose on drag races. The coon hunter can use the drag races to good effect too. ■■■i ■■r-.rr-rr^rrrT-r I !

Mrs. Bobo is an A.B. graduate of Newberry college and teaches English in the Aiken high school. From Bin. CheUlo Spelce, Fste, fexas: I remember when I was in school in 1900 the water bucket was passed around to the pupils on hot afternoons. We all drank from the same dipper. There were no pencil sharpeners. We used the boys’ pocket knives to sharpen pencils. We used our chewing gum over and over again by sticking it un derneath the desks during study periods only to take it out to chew it at the recess periods. Boys wore knee pants and girls wore dresses well below the knees. Both boys and girls wore long black stockings which were changed once a week. The boys sat on one side of the room and the girls on the other. Punishment for e grave offense was to have the boys sit with tbm girls or yidi versa.
