ing into Northwest Washington. The
proposal also calls for the widening

the bypass would be constructed

out the county for the vaccination
OF dogs against rabies. The loca-
ton of the various centers will be

charge while the county will pay
veterinarians to administer the
shots" at the rate of $40 an hour.
DR.. c. j. Gibbs, county veterinar-
ian, who is in charge OF the pro-
gram, said that inoculated dogs
will be kept under quarantine
restrictions for 80 days after the
program has been completed. Dogs
not vaccinated must be kept con-
fined for the full 90-day quarantine,
which is scheduled to end Septem-
ber Is.
In urging all dog owners to bring
their pets to the vaccination sta
tions, DR.. Gibbs emphasized that If
the plan 'is to give real protection
to the people and animals of the
county, it is important that all dogs
be vaccinated."
Teachers Pay Boost Hailed.

Springs and Forestville Parent
Teacher Associations and the Chev-
erly Womens Club praised the COM
for their action in in
creasing teacher salaries in the
