Dog-dipping day fights fleas
By STEVE ZUK Staff Writer
Poo watched intently from a truck window as Micco and Brownie were dunked in a trough of white liquid.
The small ones were helpless. They were grabbed by the legs and dipped once, or twice if their owners thought it necessary
The big ones could put up a better fight. They tried to hold their positions as they were pulled up a plank, and they splashed as they went in.
AND ALL OF THEM, dogs of almost every size and variety, went in.
Poue, a Chow, was told that his dumking, a baptism of sorts, would cleave him and make him happier, not understand. He was only a dog.
And in this way, Roger Tuckel,
Lawrence, and Kim Kennedy,
Lepton, dunked at least 200 area
dogs in the trough Saturday, ridding them of fleas and ticks.
The mass dunking, which took place at Lawrence Feed and Farm Supply, 545 Wisconsin St., was the store's first free dog dip in recent years, and it was a splashing success, according to Tuckel, owner of the feed store.
"Any time you say 'free,' the people will turn out," Tuckel said. "We've had people coming by since 7 o'clock, whose been ringing off the phone."
TUCKEL AND KENNEDY supervised the dipping, which began at 1 p.m., of a steady stream of dogs that were fed into the feed store earlier than morning.
"If there weren't 200 dogs, I'll eat them all," Tuckel said.
The trough of repellent was emptied at 4:30 p.m., but the dogs kept coming until early evening, he said.
Tuckel said his store would have another dog dip in September when the weather begins to get cooler.
"Dogs should be dipped every eight to 10 weeks, but some of these dogs never even see a vet," Tuckel said.
SO THE STORE had a veterinarian on hand in case any owners wanted their dogs to have rabbits shots or checks.
The store used a lindane repellent Saturday that is available over the counter. Lindane is used on livestock for treating scabies.
"Fleas and ticks are terrible this year," Tockel said, because the weather the past few months has been ideal for them.
But 200 dogs will be happier this summer, regardless of how they felt when they were dipped in the trough.
"The dog dip turned out great. Everyone had a good time," Tuckel said.
A LOT OF PURINA dealers do it throughout the country, and it helped our business. We had a great day Saturday.
"It's a convenience for the people."

Chancellor named to military post
Maj. Gen. Raph T. Tice, adjunct general of Kansas, who made the appointment, said that Budig was the only head of a major public university involved with either the Air National Guard or the Air Force Reserve.
HOWEVER, BUDIG SAID Monday that "faculty and staff members from many institutions of higher learning operate in national Guard programs."
"These programs are important to our national defense," he said. "I consider it a very important assignment, previously, as do the other participants."
For more than 20 years, Budig has been active in the Air National Guard in Nebraska, West Virginia and Kansas. He is a full colonel.
Budig said that the Kansas Air National Guard, which has major flying detachments at Forbes Field in Oklahoma City, required a weekend in Wichita, required one weekend a
Chancellor Gene A. Budig month plus 15 days a year for special training
Budig said that his weekend duty was soent at either Forbes or McConnell
and that on some weekends he might spend Saturday at one of the bases and Sunday at the other.
"THE TIME REQUIRED will be the same," Budig said. "The responsibility will be greater.
"I have to be concerned with the well-being of more than 2,000 members of the Kansas National Guard."
Budig replaces Brig Gen William S. Mahler, Overland Park, who retired. Budig will report to the Assistant General-Air, Ernest Z. Adelman.
Budig is a graduate of the Air Force Squadron Officers School, the Air Command and Staff College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces;
