Sine* tin'll. It swept through
Central America amt Mexico
where inadequate immunisation
programs allowed V^E to in-
vade Texas.
The virus la spread by mos-
quitoes. which are seasonally
In greater numbers during
the late summer and early tall
months
Since we are In the middle
of this high-risk period. It Is
especially important that horse
owners Insure that all their
animals are vaccinated as soon
as pooaible.
Although the disease Is sel-
dom fatal to humans, about 90
persona were afflicted during the
1971 epidemic. However, the
fatality rate among horses that
get VEE la very high.
The symptoms horse owners
should Ifx - for include drowsi-
ness. loss of appetite, depres-
sion. stumbling, drooling, and
diarrhea.
Thanks to a 19-state vaccina-
tion program, the VEE epidemic
was confined to Texas in 1971.
The U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture cautions, however, that the
virus has not been eliminated.
New outbreaks can be expected.
We Texas horse owners bear a
special responsibility to pro-
tect our animals and thus in-
sure that they do not help spread
VEE to the rest of the country.
Muddling Through October,
What To Do Until November

Twenty - nine - year - eld Linds
light has twice appeared onstage
In Miami. Florida In 19S2 the vi
various young beauty walked
across the platform of Convention
Hall as a candidate in the Miss
Universe pageant. Ten years later,
she crossed the banquet hall of
Carillon Hotel In a wheelchair.
She was being awarded a silver
loving cup by the National Multi-
ple Sclerosis Society. Linda is one
of nearly 900,000 Americans who
have multiple sclerosis, a disease
of unknown origin that attacks
the central nervous system.
At the onset, Linda merely ex-
perienced a lorn of energy. Later,
she began stumbling and bump-
ing into walls. It was a series of
fainting spells that Anally sent her
to consult her hometown doctor in
Topeka, Kansas. He ordered her
into the hospital for tests. And
shortly after admission, she could
not stand unassisted. Linda laid
in the hospital bed for eight
months with "hysterlal paralysis,”
while the doctors probed into the
cause. The Anal diagnosis was MS.
Linda learned more specifically
from her doctor that MS damages
the axons in the central nervous
system, those Abrous units that
relay electrical Impulses from the
brain through the spinal cord to
the rest of the body. With MS,
their messages cannot get through
to the muscles and glands be-
cause the myelin sheath, which
insulates the core ot the axon, bo-

The most reliable method of
testing mirrors is to rent i

be obtained by comparing the
mirror image with a recenl

WASHINGTON (DPI) -
Muddling Through October, or
What To Do Until November
Comes:
Many people have the im-
pression they can get by
October without doing much
except sit around in their
lederhosen quaffing nut-brown
ale That notion is false.
October demands that one
pull one’s self together and
prepare for the coming winter.
According to all the household
magazines, the best way to
cope with October is to make a
list of seasonal chores and
check them off as they are
done.
Here are a few reminders:
Inspect shoehorns.
During the summer months,
most of us shuffle around in
floppy shoes that slip on easily,
even on mornings when our
ankles nre swollen ns a result
of our eating too many dried
apricots.
But with the return of cooler
weather, we will soon be back
in snug-fitting bluchers, bro-
gans, pumps, Hessian boots
Through summertime disuse,
shoehorns may have become
warped and bumpy. Before
changing to winter footwear, it
is important to check your
shoehorn and make certain it is
in good working order.
Otherwise you may find
yourself some frosty morning
tippytoeing down to the shoe-
horn repair shop in your
stocking feet.
Clean and put sway barnacles.
After last canoe trip of the
season, lift boat out of the
water and remove barnacles
from bottom. Wash barnacles
in solution of 4 per cent extract
of Gatorade and store in warm,
dry place for winter.
Properly cared for, barnacles
will last many years and may
be used over and again with
aatisfactory results.
Adjust mirrors.
Hot weather, even in homes
that are air conditioned, may
cause mirrors to get out of
adjustment.
Before winter sets in, it is a
good Mon to test the mirrors In
Six yearx after that diagnosis,
the crippling disease has entered
< ne of its characteristic remission
periods for Linda that could last
from a day to lifetime. With the
help of physical therapy, Linda
has resumed her active life. The
former airline stewardess can no
longer return to her old Job, but
she is able to take a full load of
courses at Kansas State Teachers
College in Emporia. She plans to
teach elementary school classes
when she graduates in 1979.
At present there is no cure for
MS. The NMSS has committed
$4.9 million to research, but much
more study must be done before
the mystery of the disease is
solved.
Nevertheless, Linda still hopes
for a cure. She says in her quiet,
yet determined manner, "There
are so many people now battling
against MS that I feel we’re very
cloee to understanding the cause.”
The Texas Animal Health
Commission reports that con-
tinuing studies show that the very
effective vaccine against VEE
does not offer permanent pro-
tection.
The TAHC has Joined with the
Texas Veterinary Medical As-
sociation in urging revaccination
of all horses in the state.
Studies indicated that the
vaccine's protection begins to
dwindle after a year. Conse-
quently. it is recommended that
horses be revaccinated every
year.
In addition, the veterinarians
recommend that colts and horses
brought into the state since the
epidemic be vaccinated.
Of course, horses also should
be vaccinated against the Eastern
and Western strains of encepha-
lomyelitis which have been in the
(J.S for years.
As the name implies, VEE
was first noticed in Venezuela
in the mid-1930s. It was con-
any flagpole
dismounted.

historian George '' MacauleyM
Trevelyan said. "Education haslfl
