How you can get a

TheAUREOMYQN
Wfeek-A-Month
Layer Program
The economic advantages of feeding AUREOMYCIN
to commercial layers have been well documented.
Now, with today’s cost of feed and the price of eggs,
new interest has been shown for this accepted and
profitable practice
Whether you sell eggs for 40 ot 60 cents a dozen, this
Cyanamid program can increase your income ...
substantially.
The Week-A-Month Layer Program involves feeding
100 grams of AUREOMYCIN chlortetracycline per ton
for one week at housing and for one week each month
for as long as birds are in production.
Field trials show that for an investment of less than 3
cents in AUREOMYCIN per layer you can expect an
extra dozen eggs per bird, or an extra return of $4OO-600
per 1,000 birds with eggs at 40-60 cents per dozen.
The Week-A-Month feeding program with
AUREOMYCIN is equally effective for broiler
breeders.
Trial results show that an investment of less than 3
cents in AUREOMYCIN per breeding hen can produce
6 extra chicks per bird, or a total of approximately $450
extra return from every 1,000 breeders a year
figuring the cost of chicks at 7.5 cents.
Whether you’re producing table eggs or broiler
chicks, forextra profit put your next flock on the Week-
A-Month Layer Program with AUREOMYCIN.

HEW Secretary Caspar W.
Weinberger has stated that
the effects of the fuel
shortage on the nation’s
health should be “minimal”,
if common sense prevails.
“Our medical specialists
report,” Secretary Wein
berger said, ‘‘that a
reduction in room tem
peratures from 72 to even
down to 60 degrees would
have no effect on the
likelihood of an individual
contracting a common cold,
influenza or pneumonia, and
by the same token, a
reduction to 68 would cer
tainly have no ill effects.
“Many will develop these
illnesses this winter, as they
do every winter, but reduced
heating will not be the
culprit.”
The Secreatry made those
observations in releasing a
paper on the impact of the
energy shortage on health,
prepared in the Office of Dr.
Charles C. Edwards,
Assistant Secretary for
Health.

noted that the six degree
temperature reduction
recommended for the
nation’s schools would be
well within the range of
temperature reduction that
would not adversely affect
health.
Dr. Edwards said that
while temperatures can be
uncomfortable, particularly
if they are achieved too
quickly, they by themselves
are not harmful to health.
“This is not to say that
anyone will enjoy the energy
shortages,” said Dr. Ed
wards, “but we can handle
the situation without danger
to health by following a few
common sense precautions.”
Among those cited were:
Avoid unnecessary
discomfort in adjusting to
lower room and office
temperatures by turning the
thermostat down gradually
over a period of several days
rather than all at once.
Wear enough warm
clothing to keep com
fortable.
Try to maintain as high
a room humidity level as
possible.
General health rules to be
kept in mind, said Dr. Ed
wards, include:

moving from warm to cooler
temperatures, and being wet
and cold--while certainly
uncomfortable-do not in
crease the risk of catching
colds, influenza and
pneumonia.
Since most bacteria and
viruses grow better at higher
temperatures, some experts
feel that cooler living may
even be a benefit in disease
control.
There are no special
heating requirements for in
fants, preschoolers, young
children or pregnant women.
Their needs are no different
from those of healthy adults.
The average new-born
child can cope quite well
with home temperatures as
low as 60 degrees if clothed
and in a home where the
humidity is kept as high as
possible.
Dr. Edwards said that any
nutritional effects of the
energy crisis “will not be the
result of any temperature
change, but will come from
restrictions in transport,
school closings, unem
ployment, inflated prices,
and agricultural shortages.”
He said that there are
“only minimal requirements
for increased calorie intake

calories a day to adjust to 60
degrees as opposed to 72
degrees.”
“For some individuals,”
said Dr. Edwards, “par
ticularly the affluent,
overweight person, reduced
temperatures may assist in
weight reduction since more
calories will be used to
maintain body heat and
there probably will be more
physical activity.”
According to Dr. Edwards,
“only a handful of common
chronic diseases are
aggravated by severe
temperature reduction.” He
cited myxedema (thyroid
under-activity) peripheral
vascular disorder, arthritis,
angina pectoris, and
diabetes mellitus.
“But the majority of
patients with these can
accommodate to lower
temperatures without harm
to health if they reduce their
thermostats gradually,” he
said.
Dr. Edwards said
householders should
remember that “the elderly
have a slower adaptation
time than young adults to
shifts of temperature,” and
that “low humidity in a hot
room can be harmful to some
respiratory disorders.
“Many older individuals
will take a month or longer to
become accustomed to a 10
degree temperature
reduction,” he said, “but the
vast majority of the elderly
can stand lower tem
peratures,” he said, “with no
harm to their health.”
Personal health problems
to be avoided, said Dr.
Edwards, include electrical
hazards, and the danger of
explosion or fire from the
storage or transport of
gasoline.
