FIVE YEARS OLD - Fat red strawberries spelled out the cause for
celebration, Lori Lyn Peterson is five years old! The daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James Peterson, Lori celebrated her New Year's Day
birthday with a party on Friday, January 2, at her home. A group of
cousins and friends helped Lori break the traditional pinata. They
enjoyed the strawberry cake topped with strawberry icing,
strawberry ice cream cones, strawberry-red punch, chips, and
candy. Each child was given noisemakers, balloons, and favors to
help celebrate the New Year's birthday party. A dinner at Caro's
after the party was attended by Lori's grandparents, Mrs. Ira
Higginbotham of Kingsville and Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Peterson of Rio
Grande City.

With the continued increase
in brucellosis (Bang's disease)
in Texas and several other
states, cattlemen are advised to
vaccinate all heifer calves with
the official strain 19 brucella
vaccine.
Both dairy and beef heifers
should be vaccinated between
the ages of two and six months,
preferably as soon after two
months as possible, points out
David Sandefer, county agent
for the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
He cites three advantages of
early vaccination: (1) the
animals are protected against
the disease at an early age; (2)
they are much less apt to show
residual titers when tested
later; and (3) under present
regulations "officially vac-
cinated" heifers can move
without requiring the Bang's
test until they reach 24 months
for beef and 20 months for dairy
breeds.
Heifers more than six months
old that are not "official vac-
cinates" must be tested prior to
movement or sale for breeding
purposes, emphasizes San-
defer.
The strain 19 brucella abortus
vaccine should be administered
by a veterinarian or a state or
federal animal health official.
Vaccinated animals are per-
manently identified with a
tattoo or brand and are
reported to the Texas Animal
Health Commission (TAHC).
Copies of vaccination records
are provided to the owner and
are also maintained by the
TAHC for proof of "official
vaccination."
Bull calves or adult animals
of either sex should not be
vaccinated, notes Sandefer.
Males may react by
becoming sterile, and older
females may suffer residual
reactions which are difficult to
differentiate from the disease
when a blood test is taken.
Sandefer reminds producers
to castrate all bull calves to
facilitate marketing and to buy
only "officially vaccinated"
replacement heifers from
known brucellosis-free herds.

Benjamin Franklin served
brilliantly as American am-
bassador to France. Thomas
Jefferson, who followed Frank-
lin in the post, was received by
the Comte de Vergennes.
"You replace I)r Franklin''"
inquired the French count, as
reported by Sid Frank in his
"Presidents Tidbits and
Trivia." "No one can replace
Franklin," replied Jefferson. "I
merely succeed him." This
lighthearted book about the 38
presidents was published by
