lodged in its throat, was admitted
to Grant Hospital in Columbus
last Thursday for further medi-
cal treatment Reported in SER

dumb rabies" and had the dag
noSis confirmed in Columbus
laboratory examination.
Warden Woods said that Mr..
Zimmerman, after discovering the
dog was i'll, had been examining
it about the mouth and throat,
on the theory it might have swal-
lowed bone. Unable to find the
cause of its illness, he took 1t to
q veterinarian. Later the veter-
marian notified him that he be-
Iieved the dog had rabies. Mr.
Woods took the dogs head to Co
lumbus for the laboratory test.
The result was positive.
On learning of the case, DR..

sioner invoked a 30-day quaran-
tine on all dogs in three-town-
ship area. including Somerford,
Monroe and Deercreek. effective

quarantine would be in effect no
less than 80 days.

feet as a precautionary measure
against the possibility of other
dogs lin the area being infected
With the rabies and spreading the
disease, as well as for protection
81 residents in that area.

dogs or other animals In Madison
county have been made either BY
the Health Department or the

that he had received excellent
cooperation from dog owners
throughout the quarantine area

believe he could expect little or nc
trouble with dogs being at large

poets a dog or other animal is

notify the Dog Warden at once by

Report Earnings

COLUMBUS, June Is Claimants
for jObless benefits were warned
today by Ohio Bureau, of Unem-
ployment Compensation Administ-
rator Frank ]. Collopy to report
all earnings including vacation
and severance pay for any
week for which they claim COM
Pensation.
He said 80 Ohioans failed to do
this last year and were prosecut-
ed and convicted for receiving
benefits for the same week, in
which employers reported wac
alton or severance" payments.
Penalties ranged up to 60 days
IN jail and fines up to $4,000.
Hundreds of other claimants are
now being investigated for pos
sible fraud, Collopy explained,
BY matching benefit payments
with employers wage record re-
ports.
Il Cities in which an unusual num-
Der of such benefit payments were
made include Cleveland. cincin-
snati, Toledo. Youngstown. Can
ton, Mt. Vernon. Dayton. Lima
ssnd Norwood.
W Coilopy explained most en-
ployers notify their workers OF
the weeks for which they are re-
ceiving vacation or severance
pay.
Tfy, most common form Of fraud
is to claim benefits while receiv-
ing wages. Collopy said.
Eventually we'll catch up with
such claimants when we match
our weekly benefit payments
against employers reports Of
wages paid for that same week,
Collopy explained.

Story with an odd twist is
this one: Seems that Adam
told Eve that he was going
hunting and that he'd return
in short time. However,
Adam didn't get home until
! late and Eve demanded to
know where he had been.
Adam said that he had only
hunted later than he had
planned Eve said, Didn't you
see anyone at all?" You
know perfectly well there are

Soon Adam fell asleep and it

Three Indians
Invade Public
Library

DURHAM, South Africa (ANP)
Three Indians took it upon them
selves to see how far they could
go in bucking a local bylaw re-
~stricting use of public library IA
%cilities to Europeans here last
week. The trio entered tn Durham
public, looked at reference books,
examined the lending library and
read newspapers in the public
reading room.
They left only after policemen
had taken their names. The pres
ence of the Indians, while defin-
itely a challenge to the biased
law which was enacted 13 years
ago, created no outbreak of racial
feeling.
1t is believed the trio, who re-
manned unidentified, was attempt
ing to put into practice the con-
tention Of the South African In
dian congree that the library
should be opened to persons of all
races.
