The $200,000 bond issue asked to improve the Cedar Hill
Sewer System will provide services to areas not now pro-
vided for and eliminate the need for septic tanks which are
a source of environmental pollution.
These health hazards will no longer be necessary once the
Cedar Hill City Council is provided with funds to carry on
sewer improvements and extensions.
Environmental pollution is becoming a matter of prime
concern.

Precautions For Families Receiving
Christmas Presents Are Given
Many families will receive
live Christmas presents this
year in the form of pet ani-
mals, says the Texas Veter-
inary Medical Association.
Unfortunately, some child or
other gift pet recipient will
be in for a disappointment un-
less someone observes a few
experience - proven preca-
utions, the TVMA says.
A thorough examination by a
veterinarian of a prospective
pet for a friend or the family
is certianly a proven precau-
tion for all shopper who want
to give live animals.
Most puppies and kittens can
be pleasant gifts for the new
owner with a minimum of cost
and time, the Association
says. An examination by a
competent veterian will re-
sult in advice of the general
health of the animal and pro-
vice a suggested diet, immun-
ization program and general
pet care schedule.
To fail to be sure that the
gift pet is healthy could result
in an attachment of a child or
adult to a pet that could re-
sult in a sad experience sh-
ould the pet later hav e to be
disposed of for health reasons,
the TVMA advises.
The Texas Veterinary Me-
dical Association reveals that,
in most cases, the ownership
of exotic pets by individuals
results in disappointment and
frustration rather than plea-
sure, and the practice of own-
ing such exotic pets should be
discouraged. In the list of ex-
otics that some people try to
make pets of are lions, tig-
ers, leopards, bob cats, cou-
gars, jaguars, ocelots, mon-
keys, skunks, opossums, kink-
ajous, jagarundis, raccoons,
snakes and many other spec-
ies including wild birds.
There are many problems
associated with ownership of
exotic pets, the TVMA says.
One of the most common pro-
blems is that owners fail to fe-
ed the proper diet to exotics,
resulting in unhealthy speci-
mens of the breed. Also, some
exotics transmit a variety of
diseases, infections, viruses
and parasites to humans.
Some exotic pets are def-
anged, declawed and desexed
by the owner in an attempt to
make it more acceptable as a
pet. However, in most cas-
es this renders the animal
helpless for natural survival
and useless to other uses, such
as a zoo animal, and does no-
thing for its disposition as a
pet. Most of the creatures
that survive later have to be
disposed of because their ow-
ners fail to realize that most
exotics can not survive in a to-
tally human environment,
TVMA concludes.
Dog is man's best friend,
an old statement, but true. '
Man through the centuries has
enjoyed and been comforted by
his canine friend. To be an as-
set rather than a liability, the
dog must be properly nouris-
hed and disease free. Infec-
tious diseases, malnutrition,
parasitism and birth defects
are common enemies of the
canine of all ages, and unless
properly recognized and han-
dled, can be deadly, especially
in the young weanling puppy,
according to the Texas Vet-
erinary Medical Association.
Preventive medicine is the
most economical veterinary
service available to he pet
owner. For the family that
wishes to bring a new wean-
ling pup into their household
either as a gift or as a pur-
chase, prior planning can well
make the difference between
an expensive, sad experience
or a real pleasure. Raising a
puppy can be fun with a min-
imum amount of problems and
expense if properly planned,
the Association advises.
For the person who has ne-
ver owned a dog, the breed
or breed type should be con-
sidered before acquiring the
new pet. The local veter-
inarian is a source of advice
on medical problems assoc-
iated with certian breeds, as
well as suggestions on breed
type advantageous to your cli-
mate and household size.
These pointers will be help-
ful in selecting your new puppy
from a litter or store.
The surroundings of the pr-
ospective pet should be clean,
and the parents should be hea-
lthy in appearance.
An active, well-nourished
(plump) pup without visible sy-
mptoms of diseas should be
your best choice.
Individuals expressing any
disease symptoms such as un-
usual discharges from the eye
or nose, diarrhea, skin les-
ions (loss of hair), as well as
deformities, should be avoid-
ed.
When purchasing a puppy,
always have the understanding
prior to payment that you may
take the puppy to a veterin-
arian of your choice for a ph-
ysical examination and in the
event the puppy proves to be
unhealthy for any reason, you
Arrest Solves ,
Local Robbery
The Tarrant County She-
riff s Department arrested a
young man December 3 and
charged him with burglary of
a Cedar Hill Home. He has
also been charged with se-
veral other similiar burgl-
aries.
The home of Mr. and Mrs.
James Cawthon, Texas Plu-
me Road, was robbed shortly
before Thanksgiving of ap-
proximately $2,550 in mer-
chandise which included je-
welry, stereo and tape~s,
tape recorder, rifle and me-
at from the family deep fr-
eeze.
The arrest and charging
of the suspect resulted in re-
covery of the stolen goods,
according to Tarrnat County
officials. The suspect is
awaiting trial at this time.
Church Of Christ
Ladies Meet
Ladies of the Cedar Hill
Church of Christ went to
Wyatt's Cafeteria on Hamp-
ton Wednesday for their re-

the Christmas holidays they

nor December 30.
may return the pup for full
rebate of the purchase price.
This exam should be conducted
as soon as possible, prefer-
ably the first or second day of
ownership.
Much pleasure lies in store
for the owner of the new pet,
but a few well-known health
precautions before purchase
can make the ownership of a
companion animal even more
fun and certainly more econ-
omical, says the Texas Vet-
erinary Medical Association.
Officer Warns
Aliens To Register
E. W. Thurman, officer in
charge of the Dallas office
of the Immigration and Nat-
uralization Service, stated
that the annual Alien Address
Report Program usually
causes a sharp rise in the
number of applications for
naturalization.
The law requires all aliens
in the United States, with few
exceptions, to report their
addresses each January.
Throughout the United States,
almost 30 per cent more ap-
plications for naturalization
are received during the
months of January, February
and March than are received
during other months. Thur-
man attributes this sudden
rise to the Alien Address
Program.
Aliens not required to make
this report are diplomats and
those accredited to certain
international organizations.
Forms for making the re-
ports will be available to
aliens at all Post Offices and
offices of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service during
the month of January. Thur-
man indicated that aliens de-
siring information concerning
naturalization or similar
matters should obtain the
forms at an office of the Im-
migration and Naturalization
Service where personnel
trained in these fields will
be available to answer in-
quiries.
