Watkins Only
Candidate To
File Report

In spite of the fact that State law
requires candidates to file their eN-
pense accounts in connection with
primary election campaigns, only one
man who ran for office in this county
in the recent contests has so far filed
any statement with the clerk of SUI
perior court, Clerk E. O. Falllner said
today. He was Irvine 3. Watkins Tor
the State House Of Representatives.
Under the law, a preliminary state
ment of expenses has to be filed ten
days prior to the primary day, and
a subsequent and final accounting
made in a statement filed not more
than ten days following the election,
The list of local candidates in this
county was less this year than usual,
but there were number Of them al
that, and only one has complied with
the law, the clerk said.
Mr.. Watkins listed expenses includ-
ing his filing fee of Sc and other
small amounts for advertising. The
law limits expenditures by a cam
didate to an amount equalnng his
salary paid by the office being
sought. 1t also requires that contri-
buttons received and from whom
given be shown.
The general opinion was that this
years contests were not expensive
for contestants.

Is
More Costly
For County

No definite data was available to-
day as to the cost to the county Of
the recent primary election, but A.
w. GholSon, Jr., chairman OF the
Vance County Board of Elections,
said it was more than in other recent
years.
Pay of registrars was S. a day this
year, an increase of So from the So
per diem heretofore. Judges of cleo
ton were paid 81 instead Of the for
mer Sc a day. Members of the board
of elections were paid the same as
before-S3 a day for the time &C
tually put in by them in administer
ing the election machinery.
Vouchers will be presented to the
county commissioners for payment
when all have been filed and all eX-
penSeS turned in.
Another item that had to be cared
for this year was the building of new
election booths for some precincts,
since the old steel frames in use ever
since the Australian ballot system
was adopted some years ago had
worn out to such an extent they had
to be replaced. There was also the
expense of printing the ballots, which
was about in line with that item in
other recent election years.

June Court
Opens Week
From Monday

The regular two weeks term OF
Vance Superior Court for June will
convene Monday week, with Judge
Leo Carr of Burlington scheduled TO
preside. The first week will be for
trial of criminal cases and the second
for civil.
This will be the third regular term
of court for the county in the first
half of the year, with Judge Carr
holding all of them. He has proved
satisfactory and popular with the
bar and court officials.
Clerk of Superior Court E. o. Falk-
ner said today the criminal docket
will likely contain enough cases to
occupy the court for the entire week.
One murder case is on the docket,
and there are many others OF a less
serious nature.
During the criminal term several
suits in which large amounts arc
asked will probably be reached, two
large claims growing out Of motor
vehicle deaths. These may be hard
fought and require several days. One
is suit resulting from the death OF
young Charles VanDylle early last
fall, and the other the deaths OF MI.
and Mrs. j. T. Richardson and Mis-.
Judson Knott. resulting from col
lision on the Townsville highway
near the city limits last Christmas
night.
Solicitor E. r. Tyler is scheduled
to prosecute the criminal docket, as
usual.

DR.. Gregg Issues Statement
Concerning Dogs And Rabies

DR.. A. D. Gregg, Vance county
health officer, today issued the fol-
lowing statement concerning dogs,
dog bites, and the current mad dog
scare in Henderson:
Most important is to determine if
the dog has rabies, or in common
Language, is the dog mad. In the
vast majority of instances mad dog
is easily recognized by his behavior
and is usually running around out Of
its usual range In doubtful cases, if
a dog is not confined by its owner,
the dog should be killed without in
Jury to its head and the head sent to
Laboratory of Hygiene in Raleigh for
a diagnosis.
Most cases Of dog bite are where
children are bitten by a pet dog or
lust a mean dog gets loose and bites
some one on the street A dog bite
of this nature is to be treated like
any other wound, cleaned with anti
septicS and dressed. If the dog in
these cases is suspected of being mad
the dog should be taken to a veteri-
marian; if appearantly well, it should
be closely confined for five or six
days and watched. If the dog remains
we'll for six days the bitten person
is not considered in danger of rabies.
Unless a person is severely bitten
about the face or neck they can safe
" wait week in which to determine
if the dog has rabies before taking
the treatment
The health officer or other doctors
cannot tell by examination of the
wound whether the dog causing the
wound had rabies. So in cases of
minor injury by a dog it is Of no

needed to say if the dog has rabies.
| No one should handle Il SICK dog
without rubber gloves before a dla9-
noSS is made Of the illness. There IS
a wide difference of opinion as 10 inc
value Of vaccination OF dogs Dut inc
cOnccnSuS Of opinion OF the heallh
workers is that the Failure IS not
in the vaccine but in the improper
administration of the vaccine and
we advocate vaccination as the re-
lief from the periodic ScarcS aboIH
mad dogs. The enforcement OF the
dog vaccination law would get many
dogs listed for taxes and at the same
time prevent any epidemic Of rabies
in the county.
Vaccination will not take care oil
the dogs, if any. bitten by the on'
recently found in Henderson, and we
commend the order Of the mayor to
nuzzlc or conrinc dogs not previously
vaccinatcd for 80 days. A dog bitten
by one with rabies, if not at once
treated, should be watched longer
than 80 days as dogs are known TO
have developed rabies AZ days after
infection.
The enforcement of this law is
not under authority Of the health
department. So We have no way OF
knowing how generally it is OBJ
served. But until more proof is
found to the contrary we believe 4
properly vaccinatcd dog is safe from
rabies just as d vaccinatcd person
is safe from typhoid fever. And this
vaccinatcd dog should be given some
privilege that should be denied those
not vaccinatcd. In fact. the doH not
vaccinatcd has no legal statue Off OF
its owners premises.

Fund Estimate for
tuberculosis Work
Figures to Be Given
To Donovan for
194l Budget

Health Officer George c. Rutland
said today he was drawing up esti-
mates to submit to Budget Officer
Daniel j. Donovan covering certain
positions in the departments tu-
berculosis work for possible inclu-
sion in the 1941 budget now before
Congress.
The estimates are being drawn up
following the announcement by the
District tuberculosis Association
yesterday that after June 80 it would
no longer subsidize activities of the
District government. The association
voted a little more than $500 to
cover the salaries of five part-time
clerks and part-time physician at
the tuberculosis clinic until June 80.
No details of the amount which
DR.. Rutland will ask are available,
but the health officer said his esti-
mates would be based on need and
not on the present situation only.
The money voted by the tubercu-
losis association is higher by some
$500 than the $3.50 which the di-
rectors previously voted the depart
ment but is considerably short of
the $11,300 asked by DR.. Rutland.
DR.. Rutland asked for the money to
pay salaries of six clerks and supple
ment the salary of surgeon at
Glenn Dale Sanatorium.
When the board voted the first
allotment DR.. Rutland appealed
for the larger sum and it was stated
that without the support Of the
association the work of the clinic
would be badly curtailed.

Thieves Report
| Repossession in
New Auto Racket

A racket is being operated here
IN which automobiles are stolen by
persons desiring to take ride, who
then call up the police and say the
cars are being repossessed by a
finance company, according to At
torney Richard A. Harman, who to-
. dav related an experience OF client.
MIR. Harman said an automobile
belonging to Charles Newquist, his
client. a former chief petty officer
in the Navy, now employed by the
National Training School for Boys,
was stolen from irl<front OF the home
where it was parked night before
last. Mr.. Newquist, the lawyer said,
was informed that the Mayfair
Motors Co. of Brooklyn, N. Y, was
repossessing the machine, but when
he wired that firm. was informed
1t knew nothing of the procedure.
Mr.. Harman said that when he
called up the Police Department, he
was informed the Newquist machine
was not stolen. but merely re-
possessed and advised the attorney
to tell his client to pay up.
The automobile was financed
through the Southern Finance Co.
here, the lawyer said, and the police
are apparently being hoodwinked by
persons representing themselves as
repossessers, when in reality they
are auto thieves.
