Small Claims Court
Fee Cuts Urged
ByJudge eCayton
Founder Points Out
That Tribunal
Is SeIf-Supporting

The board of Municipal Court
Judges today had before it a pro-
posal by one of its members, Judge
Nathan Cayton, that substantial re-
ductions be made in the fees charged
in the Small Claims and Concllla-
ton Branch, which he founded.
Judge Cayton urged that the filing
fee in the branch, known as the
poor mans court" be reduced from
81 to so cents. He also asked ap-
proval of a simplified form of writ
of attachment to be used in the
branch.
Other fee reductions that he urged
follow: For issuing a subpoena, 25
cents to Is cents; for issuing attach
ment on judgment, 81 to so cents;
for continuance, 25 cents to IS cents;
for notice of motion to vacate stay
of execution and hearing thereon,
Is cents to Is cents.
He also asked elimination Of the
52-cent fee for issuing an order for
oral examination.
Pointing out that the Small Claims
Branch is self-supporting, Judge
Cayton said:
That is pleasant to contemplate.
But it should not be urged as the
one test, or even the most important
test, of the public service rendered
by a court, particularly court with
broad social objectives and one
which serves the great masses of
the people

DANGER IN EATING
RABBIT EMPHASIZED
Must Be Healthy or lula
remia, or Rabbit Fever,
May Result

Five cases of rabbit fever-tul-
aremia, to give the disease its
textbook title, have been reported
to the State Health Department
since snoIlly before the hunting
seson opened. The occurrence of
these cases, gives special point to
the following warning from DR.. R.
H. Riley, director of the depart
ment, to sportsmen, market men,
hucksters, food handlers, cooks,
housewives and any others who
have occasion to come in contact
with Br'er Rabbit.
BE sure" DR.. Riley said, chat
you bag or buy = healthy
specimens. Be very careful in
skinning rabbits and in prepare
ing the meat for the market or the
table, not to come in contact with
any possibly diseased material.
AS final precaution, see that rab-
bit meat is thoroughly cooked be
fore it is served.
"Wild rabbits he continued,
"are usually the source of rabbit
fever in human beings. The ami
mails become infected through the
bite of ticks that carry the dis
ease producing germs or from the
sting of certain kinds of flies.
Rabbits raised in rabbitries as a
rule are free from ticks, and so
far have not been found to be
sources of the disease.
rabbit fever is generally con
tracted by human beings in handl,
ing, or skinning infected animals,
or in preparing the meat for the
market or the table. 1t can be
contracted through the bite of in
fected ticks or in crushing the
ticks and cases have been known
to develop from handling the fur
of infected animals. The infec
ton can be absorbed into the sys
tenn through an open cut or also
through the merest scratch or g
break in the skin. Severe cases
have occurred through rubbing the
disease bearing material into the

eyes while handling the game.
Fortunately not all wild rab-
bits are infected and the diseased
are dull and move slowly. Hunters
are accordingly warned to kill
only those that are lively, alert,
and move quickly.
There are certain other precau-
tions that should always be OBJ
served:
Don't use the bare hands in
ckinning rabbits or in dressing
the meat Use rubber gloves or
protect the hands with some other
water proof material. Keep your
hands from touching your face or
your eyes. Wash pour hands
thoroughly after you have finish
ed.
Burn all papers, bags, or con
tainers in which the game was
wrapped.
Don't give the children rabbit
tails or bits of fur to play with.
Cook all rabbit meat thorough
ly Cooking destroys the disease
producing germs.
"When symptoms develop that
suggest rabbit fever, send fol
your doctor without delay. Blood
tests for the presence Of the in
lection will be made for any case
in the counties, by the Central OF
Branch meteorological laborator
les. at the request of the attend
ing physician"

Station YOU

You are a broadcasting station
On the air from day to day,
In toll or in recreation,
In hard labor Or in play.
Are you sending out a story
With joy and with hope replete?
Or do you bewail a glory.
That has faded in defeat?
Do you broadcast a compassion
To bleeding fellowman
In a noble Christlike fashion,
Like the Good Samaritan?

/ terrible judgment awaits those

a terrible judgment awaits those
who cause little ones to stumble by
reason Of their false teaching, their
failure to BRING Gods Word to bear
upon their lives, improper discipline
in the home, or the influence of
bad example. There are probably
preachers, teachers in the Sunday
School, grandparents, uncles, aunts,
mothers. fathers, yes, even friends
of little children who need to reread
these verses and then cry out to GOD
in repentance before it is too late.
Nv. The Child-Our Opportunity
Q9: 1879.
Jesus knew the real value of
child ard His loving heart reached
out to invite the children to come
unto Him in love. in obedience. and
in trust. When they came, He never
failed to bless them.
The glorious thing is that we
are privileged to thus bring little
children to Him. Someone may say,
Jesus is no longer on earth, / can
not take my child to HIM" Jesus
Is not here III the flesh, but He is
here ever present with His children.
You can bring your child to Him,
for the coming which He has in
mind in these verses is not in any
physical sense but rather spiritual.
The parents who teach their little
ones about the birth of Christ on
this Christmas day have brought
them to Him. Every word of in
strLcilon, every encouragement to
pray, every example of devotion to
Christ which the child may follow
is the true bringing of that child to
Him.
