Farm Bureau
Takes Action In
Rabies Menace
Letter To Commissioners
Suggests Quarantine Ex-
tension And Vaccination

The latest development in the
control Of rabies in Montgomery
County comes through action of
special committee Of the Farm
Bureau. James D. King, presi-
dent, was directed to write to the
County Commissioners making
suggestions not only for handling
stray dogs but for the vaccination
of dogs throughout the area and
for the quarantine Of the entire
county for period. Mr.. Kings
letter to the Commissioners fol-
lows:
The Montgomery County Farm
Bureau has watched with keen in
terest the development of rabies in
the county and the program for
control that thus far has been es-
tablished. Several members of our
Board of Directors felt that the
seriousness of the situation war
rants more positive and drastic
action; therefore, a committee was
appointed to study and propose n
program which they felt would be
adequate for both control and era
dication of the disease from the
county and thus eliminate con-
tinued expense.
The committee mas recommended
and the Board Of Directors adopted
the following program which we
hope will meet with your approval
and immediate steps be taken to
place 1t in operation.
~ The Maryland Livestock
Sanitary Service should be request
ed to quarantine the entire county
for period of six weeks.
~ Arrangements should be en-
tered into with all county veter-
inarians to set in communities ac-
cording to schedules to vaccinate
all dogs brought to them free Of
charge with no effort to collect dog
taxes or anything else that would
lead people to think that they were
being trapped into something else
other than a rabies control pro-
gram. 1t will require approx
mately 2 weeks to vaccinate all
dogs that we might get brought in.
We feel the Maryland Livestock
Sanitary Service should furnish
vaccine free Of charge for this ex-
perimental work.
(3) When the dog Is vaccinated,
he should be identified in a positive
manner and in a way that such
identification would be carried with
him in plain view for at least so
days.
az At the end of the 2 weeks
vaccination period, program of
eliminating any dogs at large by
impounding if he can be caught and
if not shoot him, should be rigidly
enforced by all the enforcement
people that the county can supply.
The seriousness of the situation
warrants drastic action. Therefore,
we are submitting the above for
your consideration and trust you
will take immediate steps neces-
sary to stamp out this most dread
ed disease.
Assuring you Of our coopera-
ton and support, / wish to remain,
Very truly yours,
James d. King,
President.

AS ONE TRIES to absorb
- most of the current news as
it develops nowadays there are
SO many subjects offered for dis
cussion that one hesitates to Sc
lect one to the exclusion of
others. Among the highlights
of the present week stands the
trial of "Charlie" Chaplin, in
California. Mr.. Chaplin was
acquitted Of the charge of VIOLA
ton of the Mann
The Act. But during
Chaplin the trial papers
Trial throughout the
country carried
full details of one of the most
disgusting cases barred before
the American public in years.
The case involved a technical
point of law and was, for that
reason, important to all law
enforcement officials. Yet, be-
cause of the prominence Of the
man on trial, the details of an
illicit love affair were given to
the public all over the country.
It has often been said that the
theatre presents the type of
plays the public demands and
that newspapers and magazines
print the type Of reading matter
their readers want. / doubt that.
In the case of the theatre this
claim was knocked into cooked
hat when "Abie's Irish Rose
made . record run. It was one
Of the cIeanest plays of modern
times. In the case of the news
papers it is entirely a question
Of playing on the prominence Of
the individual involved. No de-
mand from the public is made
for sensational details of cases
involving immortality. There is
probably little question that the
articles are widely read but the
public is not better served.
Whatever charges might be
made against me

Disgusting sion I shall deem

am not Puritani-
cal nor am ! a moralist. / do
very sincerely feel, however, that
the gaudy display of immortality
and the creation of heroes and
heroines as a result of parading
sins before the public shows a
lack Of appreciation for the
nobler things Of life.
Turning to events incident to
the war we find the so-called
"4-Fers" in the limelight.
Changes in the handling of the
draft law have been made so
frequently that members of the
draft boards themselves have
often been in a quandary. The
public has always felt that men
classified in 4-F should have been
given work assignment under
army or navy supervision. There
is no valid reason to have a man
remain a free lance because of
some slight physical defect.
These men have as much obliga-
ton as the boys who are sent to
the front. u is not their fault
but the fsdlt of the policy-fxing
officials in Washington.
BARN deferments apparently
are being placed on a more

"4-Fers" basis. Farm de-
In ferments are 10

Local farm boards, under def
mite directives, can best deter

from the farms and which can
not.

how many people realized when
they paid their income tax check
in March that they would have
to pay TWO MORE on April
