THE ROAD TO WAR

According to a recent nationwide
survey, ~62 per cent of the American
people now believe that we will have
another war within 25 years. Only
"a percent believe that we will have
a lasting peace. By comparison, three
years ago, when the last war was at
it's height, At per cent of the people
felt that lasting peace was probable
and only 43 per cent were convinced
of the inevitability of another war.
The diminishing faith of the Amer
ican people in mans ability to pre-
vent wholesale murder and destruc-
ton on an Incredible scale is in it
self terrible commentary on the
state of the world. Its origins are OBJ
vious enough. We have watched the
failure of the United Nations Security
Council to arrive at workable agree
ments. We have seen the trend back
to the old balance of power policies
which did so much to foment World
Wars l and II. We have seen the
rights of small nations destroyed and
the voices of dissenters violently
stilled. We have seen authorities pes
simistically forecast that the world
may break down into two great op-
posed spheres of influence, led by the
Soviet Union on one side and the
United States on the other.
What government, no matter how
greatly it distrusts its neighbors, will
assume the awful responsibility for
another war? What differences are so
important that they cannot be recon-
ciled in the interest of a lasting
peace? The very existence of every
being, whether he be Russian or
American, Pole or Greek, Indian or
Briton, depends upon the answers
given to these tremendous questions.

RABIES

Since dogs run about in the open
more in the summer than in the win
ter and, consequently, there are apt
to be more dog bites in the warm
months, people generally suppose
that rabies is most common in sum-
mer.
Actually, the disease is more prev
alent in cold weather. However
rabies may occur at any time of year
and word about the disease now
may be helpful, particularly since
dog bites are more common in the
summer and dog bites cause people to
think of rabies.
Rabies, or hydrophobia, is an in
fectious disease communicated to
man by the bite of certain animals,
most frequently the dog, which have
been infected with the virus causing
the disease. 1t develops when the
virus, travelling along mans nervous
system, reaches the brain.
Every human being wko is bitten
by a dog does not, of course, get ra-
bies. There is danger only if the dog
is mad" and even then the disease
will not develop if the proper pre-
yentive measures are taken. Since no
method has been found to cure rabies
it is of teh utmost Importance to pre-
vent it-and to remember that it can
be prevented even after bite by a
mad" dog.
