Chicken jokes needed
PARK RIDGE, HI. -
Howard Helmer, Eastern
Representative of the
American Egg Board has a
program entitled
“Everything You’ve Always
Wanted To Know About
Eggs But Were Too Chicken
to Ask” that has been seen
by thousands of
homemakers, press
representatives, television
viewers, and egg industry
people across the country.
Pan in hand (and often 20 or
30 pans), he zips from place
to place spreading the good
work of the good egg
primarily to people who will
carry it still further m
classrooms and in the press.
“Fve given the same
program so often that to me
it’s beginning to molt,” said
Helmer. “A few great new
chicken jokes could be the
foundation of an all-new, all
different program. “I need
knee-slapping chicken
jokes.”
The plea for jokes from
within the industry is based
on Helraer’s own experience.
For years whenever he tells
anyone that he works with
the egg industry, their im
mediate response is always
a bad chicken joke. While he
says he’s heard them all,
he’s hoping that the same
thing happens to everyone in
the egg industry and that
somewhere out there is a
chicken joke that’s
memorable.

Duck vaccine licensed
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
U.S. Department of
Agriculture has licensed
Long Island Duck Research
Cooperative, Inc., of
Eastport, N.Y., to produce
for interstate distribution a
vaccine against duck virus
enteritis, a potentially
disastrous disease of ducks
that has caused extensive
losses in both commercial
and wild flocks.
Officials of USDA’s
Animal and Plant Helath
Inspection Service said the
licensee will make the
vaccine available for the
first time to commercial
duck producers outside of
New York state, where the
product has been distributed
for several years for in
trastate use only.
APHIS officials said the
license was granted under
provisions of the Virus-
Serum-Toxm Act of 1913,
which requires vaccmes,

have asked to remain
anonymous) will judge all
jokes. The writer of the
winning joke will receive as
an award a one-of-a-kmd

bacterins and other
veterinary biologies to be
safe, pure, potent and ef
fective.
The duck virus enteritis
vaccine is of the modified
live-virus type and must be
used only as directed.
Distribution is limited to
recipients authorized by the
animal health officials
within each state and subject
' to any further restrictions
they may prescribe.
APHIS officials caution
prospective users that the
vaccine produces no ob
servable response in the
ducks, but a reaction occurs
in the blood serum that is
indistinguishable in
laboratory tests from the
reaction found in infected
birds. This could affect the
study of disease spread from
flock to flock and may create
problems if eradication is
undertaken.
