90-Day Quarantine
May Be Invoked
On All Pets Here

Ell Centro faced a 9O-day
quarantine of all pets Thurs
day after authorities discov-
cred the second rabid dog in
less than a week.
The dog, small white one, be-
longed to Ernest Anola of 342 Holt
avenue. 1t was destroyed by author
tiles Thursday because it was in
the last stages of rabies. AS far as
could be determined the dog had
no animal or human contacts. It
was penned up since it became ill,
Deputy Health Officer Lawrence
Niles said.
Saturday a rabid dog raced
through Ell Certro and died from
the disease Wednesday.
The Anola dog was believed to
have been a contact of the Benny
Heron dog which died of rabies
Oct. 20.
"As a protection to the public,
and especially to children" Niles
said, I'VE are considering placing
a 90-day quarantine into effect. If
authorities decide to do SO all pet
owners will be forced to keep their
animals penned up or chained for
three months
Niles declared the situation was
a serious one and that every effort
must be made to check spread OF
rabies among the animals of the
community.

sentence imposed by United States
District Judge Samuel Mandelbaum.
Even at the last minute today,
Just before they were to be sent
away to the penitentiary, they were
given another opportunity to regis
ter for the draft from which they
probably would be exempt in any
event. but they refused.
With heads bowed, the first group
to be penalized for refusal to regis

sentence and were Immediately
taken to prison to await transfer
to an undesignated penitentiary.

Flat Tire Worry

BROOKLINE, Mass, Nov. IA.
(UP)-A "flat tire truck" de-
signed to eliminate the danger
of changing of tires on crowded
highways, was offered to mo-
tOrists today by Erwin L. Sutter,
40 year old machinist.
The device measures 30 inches
overall and approximately IA
inches wide. 1t has four iron
wheels with solid rubber tires
and an all-steel body.
Sutter said that after the
deflated tire is run up on the
truck, the auto may be driven to
a garage for repairs at speeds
up to so miles per hour with
out injury to car or tire.
So simple is the operation of
the truck, Sutter said, that wO-
men may easily use the gadget.
