A grim reminder that the problem will probably haunt the University of Texas campus well into the fall was this Orange and White game where a skinny freshman named Sam Ansley appeared to be best bet.

552 Open s'aosed! STOP EASTER CRUELTIES Animals are not toys! Let's not mar Easter with unintentional cruelties. It's cruel to color a baby chick, duck, or rabbit and give it to a youngster as a toy. It's cruel to buy an animal that you aren't prepared to care for. It's cruel to abandon young animals after the EASTER GLOW has worn off. Every year baby chicks, ducks, and rabbits representing every shade of the rainbow end up in the hands of youngsters on Easter morning.

Some of those youngsters, too young to know any better, squeeze the life from these baby animals. Other youngsters soon lose interest in the tiny creatures and parents are forced to feed and care for them. In the end, many of these young animals die from unintentional or intentional abandonment in local fields, woods, and ponds. Some states prohibit the sale of less than six baby chicks, ducks, and rabbits in order to prevent cruelty. But this has backfired when parents keep one and leave five little creatures behind wandering around the shopping center parking lot.

Salmonella is a real danger to youngsters too. Many of these baby animals will be carriers. stuffed toy animal is cuddly, cute, never needs feeding or veterinary care, and doesn't carry disease. Use your common sense. Prevent Easter cruelty.
