Bluffton's kiddies contributed their
bit with two entries; a huge float
complete with a swimming pool

There were floats with hill-billy
singers; recreations of pioneer rooms
and even an old-time western
saloon interior, complete with card
game and bar.
Ancient automobiles, one of 1905
vintage, chugged along in the paraoe
with their more modern counter

HEALTH BOARD
GIVES WARNING
Hunters Are Warned of "Rab-
bit Fever" Injecting
Rabbits
NO CASES SINCE 1916

Tularemia, commonly called
rabbit fever, is a disease that is
a constant threat to hunters and
people who dress and cook small
game animals. Because 1t is dis
ease primarily injecting rabbits
and hares, about 80 percent of the
cases in man are acquired from
those sources; however, the infec-
tion can be transmitted by many
other mammals and birds, includ-
ing cats, groundhogs, squirrels,
rats and mice. Flies and ticks usu-
ally spread the disease among the
birds and animals and sometimes
to man.
DR.. Floyd I. Hudson, executive
secretary of the State Board of
Health, urges that rubber gloves
be used when dressing game since
the infection enters the body
through abrasions, bone scratches,
or any other damaged skin area
on the hands. 1t is believed that
the germs can even penetrate un-
broken skin. They certainly can
enter through a mucous membrane.
The meat must be thoroughly
cooked, too, in order that none of
the germs enter the body and get
into the digestive tract.
There has been no reported
case of tularemia in Delaware since
1916, but that is poor excuse for
being careless, said DR.. Hudson.
This infection is guilty of causing
death in about 5 percent of the
known cases throughout the coun-
try. In man, it is extremely pain
full and hard to treat. The illness
begins with chills, body pains, and
nausea, and is accompanied by few
er.
A sore usually appears where the
germ entered the body and nearby
lymph glands are swollen and pain
full. The patient may be confined
to bed for weeks or even months.
Permanent immunity results after
recovery from an attack.
The incubation period in humans
is from one day to week with
symptoms usually suddenly ap-
pearing on the second, third, or
fourth day after exposure. The use
of streptomycin and aureomycin,
two of the newer antibodies, has
been found effective in the treat
ment of tularemia.

be entitled to social security bene-
fits at age 65.
A. If you will be paid at least
$50 in each of at least 40 calendar
quarters, you will be eligible for
old-age benefits at age 65. A cal
endar quarter is any three-month
period beginning January 1, April
1, July 1, and october 1. 1t appears
you have 10 such quarters and
need 80 more. The fact that you
may be eligible for teachers re-
tirement pension will not affect
your right to social security bene-
fits.
@. I am receiving oldage insur-
ance benefits. I expect to take a
part-time position soon. Must I
notify the social security office be-
fore beginning to work? How long
does it take to get benefits again
after I have stopped working?
/ A. AS soon as you earn more
than $14.99 in any one month in a
job covered by social security, you
should notify the social security
office. AS soon as you stop work
ing you should also notify the So
cial security Office. Generally, you
will receive your monthly checks
the Bird month following the month
in which you did not earn more
than $14.99, if you have properly
notified the social security office of
that fact in writing or in person.
