THE COURIER EXPRESS, DuBois. Pa. Serving Clearfield, Jefferson and Elk County Area Saturday. February 16,1974 I ivi- Amc IN DEFENSE OF VETERINARIANS Dear Ann Landers: As a student of veterinary medicine I would like to speak in defense of the veterinarian who was attacked in your column for being "indifferent." You will recall that a perfectly healthy poodle had been brought in for X-rays. He never awakened from the anesthetic.

The owners of the pet said the veterinarian offered no explanation and dismissed them summarily. In time of extreme hardship or shock, such as when one hears that a member of the family has died, his mind is befuddled and he cannot think straight. Many people consider their pets members of the family and react the same way. The veterinarian 'probably said, "I can't ex plain what happened," which was true. Healthy animals, like 'humans, run the risk of not waking up from anesthesia.

The normally prescribed drug dosage might be lethal to one dog and harmless to another. No one knows why. The little poodle that didn't make it might not have had a true overdose after all. Thanks for setting the record straight, Ann. Cornell Student Dear Student: Your explanation is plausible.

Many veterinarians wrote to express the same idea. My thanks to all of you. -0- THE "IN" WORD IS BLACK Dear Ann Landers: I do not know who else in all this world to ask, so I am doing as 'many others have done to Ann Landers. Please believe me when I '-say I have no racial judices. Although I was born in the South many years ago, 'I moved North with my parents in 1925 and was in the Midwest.

What I need to know is 'this: What is the polite word 'to describe Afro-Americans? Several years ago we called 'them "colored," then the word "Negro" came into use. Now the popular word seems be "black." I feel un- ''comfortable with the word "black" because many are not black. They are a light brown or brown. I have two so- called "black" friends who much lighter than some my East Indian friends. So, Ann Landers, what is proper and correct? Want To Learn Dear I prefer "Negro," shut of course that dates me because the "in" word is definitely "black." WORD cWILL DO IT a Dear Ann Landers: Am I a weirdo or am I justified in annoyed when I 'receive a telephone call that HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Jhe COURIER-EXPRESS joins with WAY OFFICE SUPPLY To extend greetings to the following persons who will celebrate their birthday tomorrow FEBRUARY 17 Karen Buganza Irene Kellar Howard R.

Ackrom Eddie Young Sandra Ritchey Peggy Palmer Ross Margaret Lankard George Cribbs Robin Rowe "when you care enough to send the very best" OFFICE SUPPLY starts with, "I called you last night and you weren't home. Where were you?" I immediately clam up. Even though there are times when I am eager to tell where I've been, I don't like it when someone demands the information. Also, there is the unspoken suggestion that I should be at home, WAITING for the call. I may be off base on this, and if I am, I hope you will tell me.

If, on the other hand, you feel that I am justified in feeling as I do, will you please give me a brief, crisp answer to the question? Thanks in advance for your help, Ann. Beaver, Penna. Dear One word will do it. "Out." You can't get any briefer or crisper than that. -0- Confidential to Where Was She was probably so busy with her church work that she couldn't find time to practice her religion.
