Two bills were reported favorably to the Senate on March 25 by the Senate Committee on Territories and Insular Affairs. One of these was H. R. 4776, introduced by Dele gate Dimond to change the date of convening of the Legislature of AL aska to the fourth Monday in Janu- ary in 1941 and for each session thereafter, and to authorize that notices Of a special session of the Legislature may be given by the Governor upon at least 15 days mo- tiee ill writing or by telegram or fadiogram to each member of the Legislature, instead of 30 days and only in writing

Dogs Will GET Great
Consideration When
Veterinarians Meet
Feeding and Subjugotion
Of Robes Are Fuctors
To Be Taken Up Here

When the American Veterinary
Medical Association meets at the
Hotel Mayflower on August 26 to 30
large share of the proceedings
will be devoted to the interests of
the dog, as we'll as to the descrip-
ton of new methods of eliminating
animal diseases which seriously
hamper the production of food,
especially in time of war.
The association was formed pri-
marily to stop the terrific toll of
diseased horses in the Union Army,
according to DR.. Cassius Way, pres
ident of the organization. Nothing
is more vital to the Nation than
its food and work animals, accord
ing to DR.. Way, and among work
animals must be classed the mil
lions Of dogs employed on farms,
used as draft animals and as mes
sengers and in countless other ways.
Among the rs or more papers to
be read before the convention there
will be some outstanding presenta-
tions concerning vitamin deficien-
cies and their relation to the test
ing of commercial dog food. Of
particular interest to dog breeders
all over the country will be the
debate as to whether the organiza-
ton should go on official record as
favoring or opposing the one
injection method Of rabies vaccina-
ton. At recent meeting of the
New Jersey Veterinary Medical As
sociation, DR.. Way declared that
rabies can be controlled and eradi-
Gated by eliminating the stray
CANNES which carry the disease. "
Recent speeches by DR.. Way in
dicate that he is in favor of the
adoption of resolution by his Or
ganization that would read some
what as follows:
While there is disagreement be-
tween eminently qualified scientists
as to the immunizing value of rabies
vaccine, the A. v. M. A. recon-
mends to the public that conlpul-
sorry annual vaccination should not
be relied upon for the solution of
the rabies problem. The association
recommends that this disease can
be checked and eradicated by in
stituting and enforcing measures
to insure that all dogs shall be kept
under control and the ownerless
stray eliminated"

District Champion Ariel Mengarini,

Then, the comparison between
