Internal Parasites
Causes Are Listed

Poor management, over load
ing pastures, and short grass are
the chief causes sof internal para
sites in cattle.
The proper treatment of para
site infested cattle win remove
the parasites, bui unless the man.
agement is improved ON an in
tested farm the cattle will be-
come re-infested. 1t would pay
every producer to follow good
management practices, for para
site infested cattle aren't profit
able for the farmer who raises
them.
Stocker cattle heing purchased
tn 60 on winter pastures should
be treated for internal parasites.
This lis not only important from
the standpoint of the cattle. but
it also protects against injecting
clean pastures
Good herd and pasture man.
ageMent should be the aim OF
every producer, however, when
cattle become parssSited they
should be treated.
Phenothiazine is the durg Of
choice against the intestinal par
a sites which affect cattle. The
standard dose is 20 grams (about
80 ounce) for each hundred
weight, the total dose does not
exceed 60 grams (about 2 oun-
ces). Usually the best control
is achieed by treating young
stock just prior to each grazing
season, and at other times when
infestations occur. Phenothiazine
may be given in the feed, cap
S,'les, boluses, or as a drench.
Follow Manufacturers directions.
Wormy, unthrifty cattle are UNI
profitable to the producer. so car
ry out good management prac-
tees. Then if you fail, use the
treatment.

EYES
by Hazel Brannon smith

CHRISTMAS comes again to a
world torn by war and anxiety
over a threatening third world
war. In the turmoil of the
hour we may be prone to
overlook the event we are cele-
brating at this time - the birth
of the Christ Child, the coming
of the Prince of Peace.
The words seem to mock us
as we view the unsettled con-
flict in Korea - the faint DOS
sibility of truce.
Somewhere along the way
we have fallen short OF the
great destiny intended for all
mankind when Christ died on
the cross sinful world to save.
The world today has over
extended itself. We have gone
too far along the road to self
sufficiency - experimenting
with ways to destroy human
life rather than save it. We
have tried to assume the pre-
rogative that is Gods.
Why we have done this we
cannot explain but we do
know we have failed to better
our relationships with fhe
world - and the peoples OF
the world. Today we are
viewed with suspicion and dis
trust all the way round the
globe because of our posses
sion of the atomic bomb. Even
though the Marshall plan has
J been proclaimed a success we
have not succeeded in solidly
cementing a relationship in Eu-
rope that will stand the test
of time.
n seems that we have relied
on ourselves and our dollars
far too much. We have left
God out of the United Nations
and he has been relegsted to
second place on the American
scene. And we have made a
terrible mess Of things.
believe the only solution
of Americas approaching crises
must come from higher power
than our own. that we are
going to be compelled to SUBJ
init ourselves willingly to that
higher power.
Now is the hour - and to-
morrow may literally be too
late. Nothing. could be more
appropriate at this Christmas
time than for us to try io find
the way back to God.
Throughout the nation thou
sands of Christian men and
women are praying daily that
America win not become en-
broiled in another global war
that somehow or other wis
dom will come to our leaders
and prevent the catastrophe.
We urge every reader of this
newspaper to join sincerely
this throug. Dependence upon
ourselves has resulted in a
colossal failure.
Let's give God a chance.

A Letter TO Deer Hunters

Dear -Mr. Deer Hunter
Evening star., 1951-12-13
Dorothy Dix

DEAR MISS DIX: My sweet
heart is enlisting in the Marines
and will be gone at least three
years. I'm 16 and don't really
want to go steady for that long.
He wants to give me my engage
ment ring for Christmas. I'm
quite unattractive and don't go
out on many dates with boys. I
haven't had much fun and doubt
if I ever will have because I am
not pretty. ANN B.
Answer: You are doing yourself
a great injustice by stating fatty
that you are unattractive. With
just bulging with ar
ticles on teen-age grooming and
ways to improve your looks, there's
no reason why you should con-
tinue to regard yourself as plain.
Not every girl rates "A" in the
natural good looks department.
but every one can improve her ap-
pearance to the point where she'll
rate a second look from the stag
line.
Your own conviction of inferi-
ority has apparently made you
latch onto the first available boy
and get yourself all set for an en-
gagement you don't particularly
want. You are too young to be-
come engaged yet. or even tie
yourself up to going steady for the
next three years.
Lohg engagements are seldom
advisable under any circum-
Evening star., 1951-12-13

stances. They are particularly in
advisable for the very young, or in
the face of an inevitable long sep
Faration.
The fact that you haven't had
many dates up to now is by no
means cause for despair of the
future. Do a little reading on
your problem of teen-age appear
ance; put into practice what you
learn, write me again. giving your
name. and address, and / may
have information to help you.
Tell your sweetheart you think
it wiser not to go steady when
he is going to be away so long,
and while you are SO young. Get
into some social activities in
school, church or town, exert the
effort to meet new people and
make friends. That's how to
have fun. and I'm sure you'll
change your attitude about life
in general and your own imme-
diate romance in particular.

noon. It was small gathering
and in very short order each new
arrival was aware that among the
and diplomats present
was the Second Secretary of the
Soviet Embassy and Nine. Kon-
stantin Smirnov. The Smirnovs
are a nice looking young couple
and if the Soviet bosses suddenly
decided they would go in for a bit
Nf determination they couldn't +
have picked better pair for it.
They look wholesome not vii
famous. But Mr.. Smirnov is so
well indoctrinated with the Rus
sian slant on things that, given
the chance. he will say in all sin
cerity the United States started
the war in Korea! He believes
that.
Handsome Leopold Quarles,
whose country also has forces
fighting under the U. N. flag in
Korea. meets Smirnov regularly
for discussion of japanese prob
lens around the table of the Far
Eastern Commission. Both men
are members of the commission
that gets together every other
week to dispose of matters of COM
mon interest in the administration
of Japan. What social exchanges
of ideas are held on the outside
are looked upon as a step toward
improving formal working rela-
tions. The Russian diplomat, how
ever, spent most of his time at
the party the other afternoon ask
ing of the other diplomats pres
ent, both American and foreign,
leading questions having to do
with Pacific policy. He got in
return for his naivete some strong
answers but no new facts to take
back to his bosses.
