Dr.. E|Iicott Says County
Needs Animal Care Group

DR.. V. L. Ellicott, Montgomery
County health officer. declared to-
day that the lack of a voluntary
organization for animal protection
In the county has resulted in a
gradual increase in the number of
stray dogs to the point where they
are causing the spread of rabies.
DR.. Ellicott said that in less than
two months the county has had %
cases of rabies in dogs, one rabid
cat. one horse and one COW. He
said If there had been a system of
animal care in the county the
rabies situation would have been
another story"
The health officer said he recently
visited dog shelter, maintained
at Pikesville by the Baltimore
County Humane Society, where one
to "a dogs are brought in off the
streets each day. He said the public
there has acquired the habit of,
calling the humane society, and the
number of stray dogs has been held
to minimum. Montgomery Coun-

large proportion of the employers
think high schools in Virginia have
been deficient in developing initi-
ative and accuracy.
1t was concluded that failures
were frequent in English. history,
science and mathematics, with the
poorest showing in American his

Results of this test suggest that
our high school seniors are sur

this subject (history)."
The committee recommended that

of Virginia has improved consider
ably over the last three or four
decades.
Eleven years ago only a little
more than a fifth of the public
school teachers in Virginia had re-
