what has been learned to the benefit
of others?

Pet of the Week
This red and white purebred
Cocker spaniel was abandoned one
night in the Shelter yard. He is about
three or four years old, is good-
natured and is possibly housebroken.
This dog, or any other animal at the
Humane Society, is up for adoption.
All that is required is a signed agree-
ment to have the dog neutered at
your local veterinarian's; you pay
the Society (males $30; females
$35), and the vet will collect his fee
from them. Drop by to see the
menagerie that Debbie Wawers col-
lects from the Stephenville area —
depending, she may have anything
from birds to ferrets to rabbits up for
adoption. The Shelter is located on
East Road near the National Guard
Armory; the number is 965-3427

Researchers have discovered a
disease virus in domestic cats that is
remarkably similar to the one which
causes AIDS in humans. This
development could make cats an
ideal animal model for AIDS
research. 1
Scientists say the new cat virus is
genetically distinct from the'human
AIDS virus but causes a similar
disease. Both disease agents belong
to the same unusual subfamily of
viruses, known as retroviruses.
However, there is no indication that
the cat virus can infect people, ac-
cording to the researchers.
The researchers said the immuni-
ty disease, caused by the new virus,
closely parallels symptoms seen in
the human disease. The infected cats
have swollen lymph nodes, severe
weight loss, diarrhea, respiratory in-
fections, anemia and numerous
parasitic infections.
The new virus, feline T-
lymphotropic lentivirus or FTLV,
also targets the same T-lymphocyte
white blood cells that are infected by
the human AIDS virus.
Scientists at the University of
California at Davis said that a limited
survey of blood samples seen at the
university's veterinary medicine
school has confirmed the existence
of the virus. The blood samples were
from diseased cats that were from
many" Northern'California1 ilreas. _.
The scientists do not yet know the
potential of the disease in the general
domestic cat population. Dr. Richard
Osen, the developer of the vaccine
against feline leukemia virus, said
the California findings could have
major implication toy' veterinary
medicine.
Several types of monkeys and apes
are susceptible to an AlDS-like,con-
dition when infected with the AIDS
viruses, but these animals are expen-
sive and in short supply. Since these
primates are hard to obtain the
naturally occurring FTLV in cats
may provide a useful model for
AIDS research.

Have you ever thought about
why you bought a certain item
when there were so many to
choose from? Was it planned?
Habit? Impulse? Let's take a look
at what possesses a person to buy
as they do.
Fisrt, there is planned buying.
One goes to the store expecting
to buy a certain item at a certain
price. This is the safest form of
buying. Most consumers will not
exceed their budget with this type
of spending.
Second, we have the habit buy-
ing. There are no plans or im-
pulses involved. Our buying is >
"force of habit. " The brand or
company may be dependablet&P
why think twice about it?
The third, and most common,
is impulse buying. This is the
careless, spur-of-the-moment
purchase. It may not be necessary
for survival, but it is there. This
is where many people upset their
budget. It is this last form for
which consumers must watch.
Stores are often set up around im-
pulse buying.
Habit buying is fairly safe
unless there is no real reason
behind it.. Some other brand or
company may be just as
good.. .and cheaper. Planned buy-
ing is fairly safe unless there is
no real reason behind it. Some
other brand or company may be
just as good...and cheaper.
Planned buying is the best way to
shop. Purchases are planned to
stay within the budget.
The next time you buy
'Something, stop and consider why
you are doing it. Is it planned?
Habit? Impulse? Make ; sure
before you do it. You will save
money if you do.
