FROM OVER by the donuts a plaintive voice answered, 1 cant get the whole counter at once horse supported by a slmg under h;s belly to hold him up while he rev overs from tetanus, is a curiosity to traffic along 400 West in Centerville. Calvin and Shirley Holbrook, owners of the horse, say that people passing by "do a double take" as they observe the buckskin horse supported by a canvas sling and breast collar, which is attached to a chain-fal- l rigged over the branch of the tree to support the weight of the horse. A animal lives through the ordeal, they have already decided to change his name from Buck to Cat since he appears to have nine lives When Buck was diagnosed as having tetanus, Jim Spencer, Layton veterinarian, said the horse had about a 50- 50 chance to recover. Since that time, Cal has discovered that the estimate was optimistic. "If he hadn't been so determined to live, hed have never made it," Cal said. But Buck isn't the only determined one, Cal has treated the horse twice a day for six weeks, as well as getting up two nights in a row to help the animal when lie had slipped from the si mg and fell to the CAL SAID if the ground. THE STORY all began on Dec. 21 when Buck stepped on a nasi in the pasture at the Holbrook home at 490 Soth 400 West in Centerville. Cal pulled the nail from the horses hoof and took him to the vet for treatment. Cal was not aware that the horse, which he had purchased, hadnt received a tetanus shot and thought Hip animal would quickly recover from the foot Injury. Three weeks later, during the tetanus incubation period, Cal went out one morning to the barn to feed the horse on New Years day and found the animal almost dead. Buck had lost his footing, and m an effort to get to his feet, had thrashed about and rubbed sores on his hip, neck and shoulder and almost put out his right eye. the help from his CAL ENLISTED neighbors, who, with tie use of a tractor, a sling, and some straps pulled the animal to his feet. They decided that the tree, located near the road, in front of the barn, would provide the best means of support to keep the animal on his feet. There was not enough room in the barn, Cal said. Buck has been supported by the sling in the tree for about six weeks. Cal Holbrook gets up about 5.30 in the morning and works with the horse before he goes to work at Hill Air Force Base. Then he comes home at night and cares for the animal again. DURING THE last two weeks, Cal has seen an Improvement in Buck's condition and takes the horce for c five minute walk exercise the animal who at last is able to support himself without the sling. "Hes starting to limber up. Its like being in the hospital and hes stiff. When the treatment first started, the buckskin Quarter Horse couldn't even open his mouth, a symptom of the disease, also known as lockjaw. Buck has had so many shots that when he sees Cal coming with the needle, he tries to get away. I hate to shoot him, Cal says, but he does rotate the location of the shots, moving from one hip to the neck and then back to the hip again. Cal said he wouldn't even want to estimate the cost of the to medication. ALTHOUGH THE easy winter has been an advantage, Buck still must have protection from the weather and so Cal has rigged up a tarp that covers the animal at night or when it rains and sprinkled straw underneath. Buck is fed from an old washtub. Cal says he finds himself "sleeping with one eye open. It's as bad as having a baby One night last week, to worry about. Buck slipped out of his sling and was down again. The Holbrooks heard the animal trying to get up. He made a racket by rubbing against the metal washtub. Cal got up and made him comfortable. The next day at 4:30 p.m. the horse was down again and Shirley had to call Cal home from work to help. "HE STILL cant get up on his own, Cal said. The vet says it might be overworked from exercising him for five minutes each evening. During the treatment, Cal has received advice from the vet who first examined the animal. But since then Cal has done most of the doctoring himself. The sores on Bucks sides are beginning to heal and his eye is much better, but Cal said Buck has lost a lot of weight and still looks poor. THE QUARTER Horse was purchased last fall for Shirley to ride in the Davis County Sheriffs Posse to which both she and Cal belong. But after all that horse has been through, I dont know if I could ride him, Shirley said. But Cal insisted, "Hes getting better. I think weve got him on the mend. cowCal, who calls himself a part-tim- e same if the not sure said hes given boy, set of circumstances, hed try to save another horse with tetanus. "It's not only the physical work, but the mental worry as well. But it seemed like the human thing to do. When the vet said there was a chance to save him, I decided to try." THIS IS not Buck's first brush with death. The animal was in a horse trailer that tipped over prior to his being owned by Cal. Cal said, "I think he has nine lives.

ACCORDING to Dr. Taira Fukishima, Utah Division of Health, Bureau of Disease Control branch director, there has been an increase in the number of teenagers with problems from preventable childhood diseases such as measles, rubella, tetanus and diphtheria. "Tetanus-diphtheri- a (td vaccine) boosters are needed every ten years for children and adults to assure con- tinued protection against these serious diseases. If children have followed the recommended schedule of immunizations, a tetanus-diphtheri- a booster would be needed around ages 14 to 15 years, Fukishima explained. moss on the north.

THE vaccine can be administered as early as age 15 months; however, girls of improperly immunized. immunized improperly against measles include children who received older, less effective formulations of measles vaccine or received vaccine prior to their first birthday and those children who received measles vaccine with gamma globulin," he explained. IT IS recommended that the measles immunization status tennagers be checked and measles immunizations be obtained for those who of all need it. "Parents often are not sure their children have received measles vaccine or what type of vaccine was received. There is no increased risk of reaction to repeating this immunization. As a general rule, it is recommended to repeat the immunization for who received children measles vaccine in Utah prior to 1970," he continued. RUBELLA (German measles) has also been reported with increased frequency among older children. Rubella outbreaks have even been reported on college campuses. Fukishima explained that the threat of rubella is to the unborn child.

Most railroad grade crossing accidents happen because drivers do not pay attention to the round railroad advance warning sign and other protective devices at railroad crossings a Utah Safety Council official warned today. National THE Safety Council Accident facts Indicate that 1200 people were killed and Despite an outcry from the public, when the idea was first publicized, the Depart- ment of Agriculture is ready to approve the request of meat producers to include in traditional American franks twenty percent of TFGB. WHAT is TFGB? It was formerly known as mechanically deboned meat. It is the pulp product made from ground bones, until now banned for human consumption. The USDA now proposes to continue the ban for baby food but to allow meat producers to put up to 20 percent of it in sausage, bologna, pressed ham, hverwurst, hash, stew, brockwurst, pizza and hot dogs. spokesman for the USDA the public is overwhelmingly opposed to the idea. But the official added the USDA bureaucracy would approve it anyhow. It doesn't meet school lunch standards, its admitted, and will not be used in schools, in addition to being banned from baby foods. While it has been used in some products by a few producers in the past, a recent court order halted its use. Producers can considerably increase utilization of slaughtered animals by producing and selling this meat-lik- e product (from bone A admits and muscle tissue). It represents hundreds of millions of dollars in potential for the wholesale industry.

The reasons for this shift of measles to attacking older children is that many children these ages have never received measles vaccine and some have been acknowledge their guilt.

Carol choked on her hamburger. 4,000 suffered serious injuries In train and car crashes In 1878. Utah has lost nineteen citizens in railroad crossing accidents from 1875 through 1877. The greatest killer at railroad crossings is a habit pattern slowly developed over a period of time by careless drivers in which they ignore railroad warning signs-f- ail to slow down and look for trains," said Bob Ingersoll, Managing Director of the Utah Safety Council. HE skids onto the track in front of the train or crashes into the side of the engine or cars and is killed or seriously injured. In almost half of the accidents drivers violate mechanical railroad crossing protection. Most of this protection is by audible and visual signals, but In many cases lowered gates and crossing watchmen are also disregarded, Ingersoll said. "It is obvious, Ingersoll continued that motorists in increasing numbers do not begin to decelerate tn time when they see the railroad warning sign and cross buck.
