Livestock Surgery
Requires Caution

With more and more livestock
surgery being done on the farm,
the American Foundation for An
imal Health today cautioned that
every possible safeguard needs to
be taken if such operations are to
be successful.
Animals have great recuperative
powers, but they still need much
the same care and attention as hui
man beings before, during, and fol-
lowing surgery, the Foundation
said.
THE longer an animal is sick,
the poorer surgical risk it becomes.
Prompt examination by d veterin-
arian will reveal whether there is
a need for surgery, and if this is
done early enough the surgery
may be performed while the ami
NAL has the greatest amount of
strength and resistance" the Foun-
dation report stated.
Farmers should provide clean
and sanitary quarters for the OPP

Grafton, and they should be mod
erately warm and free from drafts.
The quarters should be prepared
according to instructions from the
veterinarian, who will also list
post-operative care recommended
tions. The farmer should see to it
that the animal is clean and COM
Portable, both before and after the
surgery.
Livestock owners should be alert
for signs of complications follow
ing surgery, reporting the progress
of the patient, or any unfavorable
signs to the veterinary surgeon i'm.
mediately.
The Foundation added that ad-
vanced techniques are taking more
risk out of farm animal surgery,
and new and improved antibiotics
and drugs also are proving very
helpful.
Happiness is neither within us
only, or without us; it is the union
of ourselves with God.

Hungary's new Soviet spon-
sored "puppet" government
from being seated in the u. N.
This, she said would be a
heavy blow to the sham re-
gime" now ruling Hungary.
She also stressed the i'm
portance of free world
economic boycott of Soviet
bloc countries suggested by
George Meany, President of
the AFL-CIO. She felt this
would help force Russia to
give Hungary its freedom.
She feels that above all, a
U. N. commission must go to
Hungary to survey the situa-
ton and report on it. This,
she believes, will have a ''heavy
impact" on the world and on
the Russians themselves.
Miss Kethly left Hungary
November / under the impress
sion that at last her country
was on the road to freedom.
She was in Vienna, on her
way to the United Nations as
a representative of the Macy
government, when Russian
troops moved in to crush the
Hungarian revolution.
At the press conference yes
terday held at AFL-CIO head
quarters, she showed signs of
the strains and emotions of
the past few days.
Talking to a small group Of
reporters afterwards, she said
Il feel so desperate; 1 want
so much to help my poor

If the Russians are to be
stopped, even at the Austrian
border where they are now
gathered. the United Nations
must use the strongest diplo-
matte and moral pressures
against the Soviet aggression in
Hungary.
So warned Miss Anna
Kethly, a member of the short
lived Macy government, who
was in Washington to plead
her country's cause.
The elderly white-haired
woman. who for decades has
been a leader of the Hungarian
Labor Movement and spent
4i2.years in Jail thanks to the
Communists. said at a press
conference yesterday that
pressure must be brought by
all the free world especially
the "so-called uncommitted
nations"
miss Kethly was obviously
referring to such nations as
India who had failed to sup
port the U. MS resolution
condemning the Soviet action
in Hungary
After the press conference
a reporter asked her if she
had attempted a personal APP
peal to the Indian delegation
at the u. N. She replied she
had made every effort to see
them but had not been sue
cesSful in her attempts.
Without this moral and dip
lomantic support Miss Kethly
says 1--WE face the threat of
world ruination. The weaker
countries will be easy prey
for Moscow and will be disil-
lusioned about the possibility
of any reliance on the West. "
She said her people seek no
military intervention from the
United Nations, for that would
only mean more bloodshed and
the beginning of World
War III.
However, she urged that the
countries of the U. N. with
