A STORY OF FAITH AND COURAGE

Child of Charles E. CouRhlin. "TIae judgment has not been quick or easy for the Journal. Times"
 There is no need telling you that the Editor of the Waterbury Amer. ican have also done more than their share of this Dirty Smear. I won- der how many pieces of gold these modern Judas have received for their Dirty Christian un-Amer- ican Smear?
 4 campaign to stop Social Justice and Father Coughlin, Social JIls- tice" Q really Christian American paper and that Great Catholic Priest --the real friend of labor the man who fought for the Soldiers Bonus, the man who fed the hungry by the thousands during the depression, the man who has been fighting Com- inunism almost single handed for years-tlle man who was one of the first to send aid to the starving in Poland 91.000000 out of his own pocket, the man who has led and converted thousands back to the Catholic church. This Is the man they are attempting to cruelty. The cry over 2OO0 years ago was "dive us Darabbasl" Today 2OO0 years ia- ter the cry is the same, Give Us Browder away with Father Cough linl
 Father Couehlin hes won the hearts of millions of Catholic, Pro- testants and many 0cd loving Jews.
 Long live Father Coughlin and Social Justice.

Health Department. DR.. G. r
Carpenter, Fairfax County health
officer, and DR.. Ralph G. Beachley,
Arlington County health officer

There have been no reports OF
the disease among humans, DR.
Browne said, but there is always
the possibility that it might spread
like wildfire."
The quarantine provides that
every dog in Alexandria must be
given an anti-rabies treatment. All
dogs must be kept on owners prem
ises or must be either leashed or
muzzled when at large.
DR.. Browne declared the appear
ance of the disease assumes great
Importance because of the increase
of the dog population along with
the human population.
Several dogs which bit the infested
animals are still at large, DR..
Browne warned and asked Alexan-
dria residents to report any dog
acting unusually.
The quarantine is being enforced
through a city health ordinance.
