CONCERNING WILD RABBITS

Enjoy the wild rabbits, but be
CAREFUL" DR.. r. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department Of Health,
advises all who handle the animals.
Meat rationing makes rabbit more
welcome than ever as an addition to
restricted wartime menus, and it can
help provide some essentials of an
adequate diet. Do not forget, howev-
err, that tularemia, also called rabbit
fever, is usually given to human be-
ings through contact with infected
animals or with the infected insects
that transmit the disease from one
rabbit to another.
"A few precautions can make
your enjoyment safe. First of all,
take only the lively rabbits with
energy enough to scamper away as
YOU approach. After the rabbit has
been caught handle the animal and
the uncooked meat carefully. Use
gloves rather than bare hands, par
ticularly if you have even a small
cut or scratch on your hand. Keep
your hands away from your face,
mouth and eyes and be sure and
wash your hands thoroughly as soon
as you finish preparing the meat.
Burn all refuse, fur and paper that
has touched the rabbit. Finally, cook
thoroughly. including at least twenty
minutes at boiling temperature.
This list of precautins is given to
safeguard your health but not to dis
courage the use of wild rabbits" DR..
Riley adds. I'm fact, the meat is rec
commended by the Nutritionist of the
State Department of Health, who re-
Gently made this statement about
it's food value and appetizing prepar-
alton"

How Shall We Observe
Christmas!

MANY today are asking: How
V shall we observe this Christ
" mas? Shall we prepare for
the usual festivities? Others I'M
doubtedly pray for courage and
grace to bear the prospect of a
broken family circle. Aggressive
suggestions of separation, loneliness.
nostalgia remembrance of other
happy seasons, or fearful uncer-
tainty about the future may present
themselves. In spite of human mis-
givings, there is the best of reasons
for genuine joy at Christmas. God
and His universe are still the same.
Reverence and humility fill the
heart as one ponders the sacred
Scriptural record of the first Christ
mas. The beautiful, true story which
Matthew and Luke relate, is un-
touched by time, indifference, or
self-centered plans and pastimes.
One marvels at the spiritual readi-
ness of the unlearned shepherds and
those who were counted wise men of
their day. Scriptural prophecy and
earnest longing had prepared their
hearts and minds for the message of
angels and the star of Bethlehem.
No pride, fear, or stolidity hindered
the divine impulsion which led them
to the manger, -.
The Wisemen of the East rejoiced
when they found the young Jesus
and his mother. By eager sharing of
their material treasure they ex-
pressed in some measure their Joy
and gratitude for his appearing.
Then, moved by heavenly intuition,
they concealed the news Of their
precious discovery and returned, by
. different route, to their own coun-
try. Thus the babe was saved from
the murderous hate of Herod, the
king. Angels, holy messengers OF
God. continued to guide and protect
Jesus throughout his earthly expert
ence. -.

We diversity our operations, just as some

So, over period of years, there has never
