Mt. Shasta means many things
to . many people. The chamber of
commerce of the city of Mount
Shasta has been receiving great
numbers of inquiries relative to
the mountain, prompting a delv
ing into the legends, traditions
tacts and tantasies. Facts say
impossible. Legends and tra
ditions persist as true. Fantasy
is always present.
The mountain stands alone, with
Shastina nestled on its western
slope. Peter Skene Ogden, accord
ing to history, discovered it in1
1827. Geologists call it a dormant
volcano with a boiling hot sul
phur spring near the base of the
main summit pinnacle. It is 16

Tales circulate that the whole

the people of these mother ships

Today the "I AM," Itosicrucian
and other religious groups tend to
agree with ancient Indian lore
as well as the legends and facts
of the mountain.
Mrs. Mildred Coleman, a Rusi
crucian. tells of the Lcmurians
she knows live in the mountain.
They come to town, but remain
incognito. She tells of the Ascend
cd Masters who have a mammoth
temple under the mountain at the
12.000-foot level. The mountain is
referred to as God's Mountain I
one of His shrines. The temple
was hewn out by spiritual labor,
she says.
She avers that Lemuria is due
to rise and the ocean will come
in. The coast range will be lev
eled. Safety for the people lies
within a 10-mile radius of the
mountain.
Miss Ruth Light joined the "I
AM" religious activity in 1332.
She tells of the founder of the
organization, Guy W. Ballard, be
ing sent to the Mt. Shasta area
by a mining concern 30 years ago.
and of his encountering St. Ger
maine at a mountain spring one
day while he was hiking on the
trails of McCloud River Valley,
seeking peace and inspiration. An
electric current went through his
body when St. Germaine spoke
and gave to him a cup of the

Whatever their tastes, beliefs

to the mysticism of the mountain
and its Lcmurians or whatever

Many Cats
We have a cat now," a read-
er says, "although we've always
had dogs before. During the last
week the cat has developed an
alarming sneeze, but doesn't seem
at all sick otherwise. Are cats
supposed lo sneeze'.1"
While cats, beyond a certain
point, are not the most predictable
animals in the world, they do
not normally sneeze. They arc,
however, subject to a number of
respiratory diseases, among them
a cold, or coryza. This mild dis
ease docs not make the cat
very sick, appetite and animation
remain normal and a sneeze and
discharging eyes are the main
symptoms. The condition lasts
from a few days to two weeks.
If this persists the cat may ac
tually have a more serious res
piratory disease.
Influenza starts like a cold but
drags on longer. The cat may re
fuse food occasionally; sneezing
may be coupled wilh coughing
and the eyes develop more ot a"
purulent, rather than a watery,:
discharge. These cases are ben
efited by veterinary care, com
bined with vitamins given at
home and pampering of ihe cat s
appetite, i Owners should realize
that the cat's fondness for liver
and kidneys will usually survive
the disease.! '
One of the more acute res
piratory diseases of cats is pneu
monitis, which begins with fever
and loss of appetite, This re
quires immediate treatment since
inadequate treatment may result
in development of a fatal pneu
monia. Pneumonitis treatment in
cludes scrum and antibiotics.
feeding by a stomach tube, and
vitamin injections. In typical cas
es, recovery may be complete in
about two weeks.
Pneumonia is far more serious
and may, in addition to pneumo
nitis treatment, require periods
in the oxygen chamber. Although
more than half the pneumonia cas
es recover, a possible complica
tion is empyema, in which the
chest cavity is partially tilled
with pus. About two-thirds of the
empyema cases are fatal; the
other third may require a month
of hospital care for recovery.
Another serious illness which
may confront cat-lovers is cat
enteritis, a virus disease of the
bowel, which is highly contagi
ous and can produce death with
in 24 hours. Because of its con
tagious character, the disease is
most noticeable when the new
kiltcn-crop gets old enough lo
start cruising around the neigh
borhood. Symptoms arc a loss of appc:
tile, vomiting, diarrhea, almost
complete immobility, and a high
fever. An early symptom is do;
hydration; yet the cat may sit
poised over a water or milk dish
and refuse to drink. With prompt
treatment, recovery requires
from four to eight days. Slower
cases are helped by giving
whole blood transfusions. Fatal
cases usually deteriorate rapid
ly, however, and a cat that is
still alive after the first three
days will usually recover.
Recovery from enteritis some
times called distemper or panlcu-
kopenia will confer a lifetime
immunity, or cats can be inocu
lated against it. Cats which re
cover from flu or coryza usually
have a short immunity, and cats
that have it twice rarely catch it
again, tats thai have frequent
bouts with coryza are actually al
lergic to something.
Recovery from pneumonitis
conlers immunity in about half
of the cases; the other half may
get it acain. but will not require
hospitalization. A short-term vac
cine is available against pneu
monitis, but immunity is limited
to less than six months.
