The Shubert Club, having
abandoned plans for a spring con-
cert because of the illness Of Miss

with each other and with the di-
rector.

Sulpha Drugs and
Sanitation Save
Loss Of Poultry

Probably more chicks are killed
or injured by cecal (bloody) Coo
cidiosis between the ages of two
weeks and three months than any
other poultry disease says Frank
Webster, County Extension Ag-
ent.
The disease can be prevented
by proper sanitation. and the cor
rect use of sulfa drugs.
"The poultryman's best bet in
diagnosing this disease is through
the appearance of bloody drop
- a." Webster says. He reports
. other signs of the disease
are bloody vent fluff and tips OF
wing feathers, sudden death of
apparently healthy birds, pale
shanks and combs, listlessness,
dropped wings, ruffled feathers
and an unsteady gait.
When the disease attacks and is
positively identified, the most inn
portant thing for a poultryman
to keep in mind is that the para
site of the disease in fresh chick
en- droppings will not produce the
disease, but in "a to % hours
these droppings do become in
fective.
The first thing to do when the
disease is discovered, Webster
says, is to confine the chicks to
a brooder house and clean all lit
ter and droppings from the pen.
A light layer of clean litter should
be applied and changed every 10
| days.
Webster says that according to
information from the State Col
lege Of Washington commercial
mashes containing sulfa drugs are
available to help in control. These
mashes should be used according
to recommendations of the feec

that Brotherhood should be prac-

who appear different or worship
God in way which is different

Brotherhood Month because people
and groups who have been indif-
ferent to the problems of minor

Brotherhood Month because 1t
gives us a chance to tell our story
in places we could not get In at
any other time. Then who can
forsee, maybe that we, through
persistent efforts, acn expand
Brotherhood Month to the full
year. 1t started out as a week.
This year, many groups in Port
land expanded the celebration to
Month. 1t looks as If we are
