FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY
rs VICTIM OF
HYDROPHOBIA

Columbus, four-year-old son
of Marvin Killen of the Isom
section, died from what was
thought to be hydrophibia in the
Miners Hospital at Norton last
Thursday.
The child became very i'll ear
lier in the week and was taken
to Norton for treatment. His
parents then recalled that the lit
tie boy was slightly bitten by a
dog on July 2. A number of other
children on Big Branch were
lightly bitten by the dog, but it
was not suspected at the time
that the dog was mad.
The dog in the case, it is now
generally said, was brought into
the community and abandoned
by Mckinley Belcher, who short
time ago shot and killed Grant
Haynes near Shelby Gap. 1t now
develops that this dog finally
landed at the home of Dewey
Horne on Brush Creek and that it
bit him or his brother-in-law,
named Wheatley, and that they
killed and buried it and decided
to say nothing about it for fear
that it might belong to neigh
Dor. They have revealed this
since the Killen child died.
The other children bitten by
the dog are now taking rabies
treatment.
Early this week, according to
information, physicians at the
Norton hospital advised Common
wealth's Attorney Hansel Flem-
ing that they now seriously
doubt whether the Killen child
died of hydrophobia. They say
that later study of the case indi
Gates that it might have been po-
lilo.
The little Killen boy was bur-
led in the Campbell Willis grave
yard Sunday afternoon, following
funeral services at the Killen
home by Elders Earl Mullins and
Jack Kiser. A great crowd attend
ed the service. Much sympathy Is
felt by the people of that section
for the Killen family.

A HOT LOCAL
ELECTION SEEN
COMING UP

If you thought that the pri-
mary would end the political
year in Dickinson County, you
were mistaken.
The contest between A.. r.
Singleton and Rufus v. Mccoy
for the floterial seat in the House
of Delegates promises to be one
of the most heated battles in
years. Personal hates, not neces-
sarily between the candidates,
are already giving it a highly
seasoned flavor. At this time,
four general trends appear:
First, each candidate will score
heavily in his own locality. Sec
ond, the district officers of the
UMWA, Minton and Stone, are
after Singleton's scalp.
Third, the gains and losses in
this county will about even up,
leaving the weight of the decis-
ion to Buchanan County.
Fourth, this campaign will have
noticeable effect on the county
races in 1851, and possibly on the
local returns in the congressional
election next year.

POLIO EMERGENCY
DRIVE OPENS
THURSDAY

Describing initial response to
the polio emergency drive, which
opened here Thursday, as "heart-
ening," Mrs. Joe Kennedy, chair
man of the Dickinson County
chapter of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis, urg-
ed intensified efforts and increas
ed giving during the one-week
drive.
There is no such thing as toe
much money when the health
and welfare OF our children is al
state, Mrs. Kennedy said. "Peo-
pie are giving today because they
know that every additional dol
lar helps keep polio away from
our own doors in the future. The
money raised in this emergency
drive is needed to pay for the
medical care of the thousands
stricken and those who will be
stricken in this year of incredib-
ly high polio incidence.
While we care for those strick
en- today, we cannot for an inst
ant call off the search for the So
luton that will prevent such at
tacks in the future. We want to
make sure, for the sake of our
own children, that both jobs are
done simultaneously and effectiv
ely.
Meanwhile the VIP (Volual-
teers in Polio) is carrying the APP
peal for funds directly into the
homes of every member of this
community. "All men and women
of good will are urged to join
the VIP ranks" Mrs. Kennedy
said. "The help of more people is
needed almost as urgently as
their dimes and dollars to make
sure OUR community goes over
the top in this moment of finan-
cial crisis"
Funds raised in the emergency
campaign will be placed in
special epidemic aid fund at Ma
tional Foundation headquarters
and will be available to all chap
tiers whose March of Dimes funds
no longer are available to pay
for the medical care of current
polio cases.
