Continued from Preceding P0ge
so in the case OF seafood and poultry It must be
inspected before our Air Force accepts it.
Shrimp is good example of this inspection.
Veterinarians from Air Force Bases near the Gulf
ports inspect shrimp boats, the shrimp itself and
the processing plants before clearing Seafood for
our purchase.
The Air Force buys several million pounds Of
fresh frozen shrimp year and naturally the sellers
want to meet our standards. In doing so they
provide better cleaner shrimp for civilian use"
Gen. Kester was instrumental in seeing that
housewives today buy. almost exclusively, ready to
cook poultry.
Until after the war; the poultry industry sent
out its chicken Just plucked" Gen Hester points
out. THE military or the housewife had to do
the rest.
Il was sent from the Pacific to the Surgeon
Generals Office in Washington after the war. The
first step we made was to get all the poultry sent
to Europe for the Army and Air Force dressed
cleaned and drawn before we. would accept it. BY
1947 contracts called for all poultry for export
to be ready to cook.
After the unfcation in 1949, the Air Force
and the Navy got together and demanded that all
poultry be cleaned The Army soon followed
suit and this revolutionZed the poultry industry.
Now the housewife can buy ready to cook chicken
in any store"
The Air Force veterinarians overseas have quite
q
products whenever possible and there are no United
States inspection agencies abroad
"A bad chunk of meat or glass Of milk can
be stick of dynamite" Gen. Hester says. Any
one who has had of food poisoning knows it
can lay you out Our men have to make sure Air
Force personnel stays healthy with clean food.
Sometimes this is big problem.
AT the close of World War II not single
source of milk supply was considered safe in all
of Europe. The military veterinarians showed milk
producers how to maintain the health standards
we demanded. Now everywhere except one place
in Africa our military can drink safe, locally
supplied fresh milk"
The Air Force veterinarians, especially overseas,
must concern themselves with zoonoses (animal
diseases communicable to man, like rabies and
tuberculosis. Gen. Testers oldest brother died
from tuberculosis and his youngest brother had a
serious bout with undulant fever, another zoonosis,
so he knows the problems here.
There are over 80 recorded zoonoses" Gen.
Kester says. I'VE have them under control in this
country but overseas they often big problem.
Our men have to make sure these diseases don't
get TO men, especially in their food"
In addition to food inspection and sanitation
and nutrition programs, Air Force veterinarians
are important in research.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-05

This is a fairly recent development, the recog
milton of the Importance of veterinarians in re-
search" Gen. Hester says. Now, it is acknowledged
that research is no better than the animals used.
They must be sound and healthy or the effects of
the experiments on them will be misleading.
"A veterinarian was sent to India to help select
monkeys for research. This may seem silly to some,
but it paid of. The monkeys got to this country
healthy and stayed healthy Suppose one costs
SIS or $40 to start with. The monkey may be worth
couple of million dollars in research costs before
experiment is finished and then his health is
really important"
Air Force veterinarians perform unusual
job at Ladd Air Force Base in Alaska There they
are attached to the Arctic Aero Medical Laboratory
where Information and survival of animals in the
extreme cold is being studied The veterinarians
look after the health of 10 different animals in
Guiding wolves, bears and otterS as well as birds
like owls and woodpeckerS
In Japan, Air Force veterinarian is sta
toned at training school for dogs. Other
veterinarians supervise the care of some 900
dogs sprinkied through the Air Force
The Air Force requires that its veterinarians
vaccinate all base pets for rabies In the last six
years no case of rabies has shown up on an Air
Force base
Gen. Hester, 49, is distinguished in his pro-
lesion He is president Of the American Veterinary
Medical Association comprised of $4,000 veteri-
narians in North and Central America.
An Al-Conference guard in his college football
days, Gen. Kester also has been an active horseman
in practically all equestrian sports from rodeo to
polo. native of the Nebraska cattle country he
has long owned commercial beef herd of Herefords
in Western Nebraska.
A service veterinarian since 1888 this horse
riding horse doctor is we'll equipped to handle the
important but little known work of the Air Force
Veterinary Corps.

AS the basketball season is
slowly but surely leaving us for
this year, TCHS fans look back
over the teams record with a
smile. After every game this
year, at least one of the Tabor
City High School team have
brought home victory. Our
players feel that even if the
game was their loss, it was also
their gain in many aspects. II
enriched their sportman-ship,
and also added a little "zcst'
into their next game.
Last week, the Monogram
Club had the weekly radio pro-
gram on WTAB. They presented
a very interesting program, tell
II their requirements and &C
accomplishments. Then on Friday
they presented thee chapel pro-
gram. Coach Diamont was in
charge with several other mem
berS assisting. The Monogram
Club is for students taking part
in school varsity sports. Offic-
erS are President, Johnny Bru-
tol. Vice President, Wayne Mil
Ter; Secretary, Shirley Norris
and Treasurer, DeAnna Marsh
all.
Also in chapel Friday, Jean
cite Buffkin was honored. The
cheerleaders voted among them
selves for the Most Valuable
Cheerleadcr." They made very
wise selection, because jeanette
has really been outstanding il
cheering during the past tire,
years. This year, she is Chic
Checrleader. Mr.. Diamont pre-
scented to her a white sweater
with a large TC on it.
Tabor City seems to really be-
outstanding in girls basketball
this year. Our girls haven't los
hut two games but our junior
Varsity girls are also having ;
very good season. They hav,
lest only l game. This week on

bourn. Our girls are currently
in the Number l rank SO they
stand an excellent chance of
winning but as Coach Diamont
said in Chapel Friday, I'VE be-
lieve our boys will bring home
the trophy also" Let's all hope
for the best and go out to Chad
bourn SO Tabor City will be
represented. I'm sure there will
be several close and exciting
games.
Every school has its share of
black sheep, but it can 60 too
far. Friday night, during the
boys game, Wayne Miller left
his suede jacket in the dressing
room at Dunn, and someone
went in and slaShed it with a
knife. This is bad for any school
because one person can give it
bad name.
AS of February 8, the top four
girls teams in the county, in
their respective ranks were
Tabor City, Chadbourn, Nakina,
and Evergreen. Top in boys play
was Nakina, Cerro Gordo,
Whitevillc, and Tabor City.

HODGES STRESSES NEED FOR
STRONG CIVIL DEFENSE
IN EVERY MUNICIPALITY

Raleigh. - Recognizing strong
Civil Defense organization as a
way to preserve world peace and
necessary precaution for per-
sonal and national survival in
event of enemy or natural disaster,
Governor Luther Hodges today
urged its establishment and con-
tinuous support by citizens and
governing officials of every North
Carolina county and town.
In an official proclamation of
"Civil Defense Week"-Septem-
Der 9-15, the Governor said: "the
strength and effectiveness of the
Nations and the States prepared
ness program is dependent upon
the strength and effectiveness of
individual and community readi-
ness to meet disaster.
"The dangerous aspects of any
disaster are greatly enhanced
where and when established plans
and trained workers to cope with
it are lacking the response
