Incinerator Helps Control Trash
To dispose of trash or other
burnable waste, you may want
to build an incinerator, says
Kenneth E. Felton, University of
Maryland agricultural engineer.

ture Farm Building Plan #5996
may help you.
. This incinerator is built of con
crete block. It is equipped with
a steel basket to hold material
to be burned and firebrick for
the combustion chamber. An oil
type burner with controls fur
nishes the fire .needed.
Designed by engineers at the
University of 1 Connecticut, it is
capable of burning a variety of
material trash, garbage, dead
poultry, or any other combusti-

placed in the incinerator bas

jects (When burned) may cause
a bad'odor. To alleviate this
smell,' first heat the firebrick in
the combustion chamber, then
placejthe material in it, Felton
suggests. .
In picnic areas, where gar
bage and trash accumulate, in
cineration can be one method of
refuSe disposal. But, you should
be sure that all inflammable ob
jects are burned, that the area
is kept sanitary, and that sparks
do not-cause unwanted fire.

you use-an incinerator:

steel basket for burning.
2. Remove cans and other in
combustible material that may
be mixed with the garbage.
3. Use the incinerator only
when you or another responsible
person can attend and supervise
its operation.
This type of incinerator is in
expensive to build, and burning
waste material helps curb dis
ease.

Laboratory Animal
Dealers Must Apply
For License Renewal
Dealers in dogs and cats sold
for use in research must apply
for annual renewal of their li
censes and have their premises
inspected for compliance with
the Laboratory Animal Welfare
Act, the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture said today.
Veterinarians of USDA’s Agri
cultural Research Service warn
ed that a 1967 affadavit by deal
ers stating that their premises
met the standards will not satis
fy the requirements for renewal
of licenses in 1968. Applications
for license renewal must be
made 30 days in advance of the
anniversary date of the license.
Application forms must be ob
tained from the Federal Veterin
arian in Charge in the State
where the license was issued.
A dealer must report the gross
dollar value derived from the
sale of dogs and cats to research
facilities during his preceding
business year. The amount of
the annual license fee is based
on the dealer’s total gross
amount. The minimum license
fee is $l5 for less than $2,000
gross value, and the maximum
is $l,OOO for gross value of $500,-
000 or more.
All 182 licensed dealers have
been inspected at least once
during the past year, and 18
cases are under review for com-
pliance with the standards of
the Act. Nine of these cases
have been sent to the Office of
the General Counsel for consid
eration.
Research facilities registered
under the Act total 532 with
about 1500 locations At least 50
percent of the research facilities
have been inspected once About
15 of the research facilities have
requested an extension of time
in order to comply with the
standards. A number of facili
ties have already made exten
sive improvements to meet the
standards.
“We have seen many changes
for the better in humane condi
tions for handling research ani
mals,” said Dr Earl M Jones
Staff Veterinarian in Charge of
the program “Many dealers
have spent large sums of money
to remodel their premises to
meet the standards for licenses
and this means that eventually
the selection and quality of the
research animals will be im
proved,” he added.
All complaints received by the
ARS Animal Health Division in
the various States have been in
vestigated and the involved
premises have been inspected
Fifteen dealers have decided to
go out of business because they
did not want to meet the re
quirements of the law.
Animal Health Division vet
erinarians have had limited con
tacts involved in local auction
and Trade Day sales of dogs and
cats These marketing practices
are being investigated to deter
m i n e the extent of interstate
movement of dogs and cats for
research purposes.

“However,” she said, “unre
funded tickets will be placed in
this fund.”
She further stated that “we
are going to look into the pos
sibility of recovering expenses
incurred since this is the second
time the Baroness canceled
out.”
$l,OOO ADVANCE
To date the Baroness has
been paid $l,OOO for her sched
uled appearance here in Lan
caster County. Five hundred
dollars was paid upon contract
date last fall before her first
scheduled appearance on Nov.
4 in conjunction with the 50th
anniversary convention of the
Society of Farm Women of Lan
caster County. The remaining
$5OO was sent one week prior
to her scheduled performance
on Saturday night.
Also disappointed along with
the hostess Mrs Witman, who
prepared a typical Pennsylvania
Dutch dinner party m honor of
the Baioness, were about 20
guests invited to the event
Mrs. Witman had some doubts
all week, even up until the last
minute about the appearance
of the Baroness. She was heard
to say, “I won’t believe she is
coming until I see her coming
up the walk.”
