of a rabid dog transmits the virus
that causes rabies.
All dog bites must be reported
to the health department. The
dog should be secured alive, and
confined in isolation for a period
of IA days. IF the animal has ra-
bies, Unusually will die in a few
days and is almost certain to die
within a two week perio d.
The dog should be undo the OBJ
servation of a veterinarian and
should not be killed unless it be-
comes necessary. The reason for
this is that if the dog is in the
early stages of rabies, at which
time the saliva is just as infective
as later in the disease, its brain
may nevertheless not show the
disease. If the dog is permitted
to die of the disease in isolation,
however, the brain is more apt
to show all the characteristics OF
the disease from which the di-
agnosis may be made.
Lets make our community safe
for our children. Let's observe the
Health Departments quarantine
on rabies. Let's vaccinate our
child's pet for rabies to prevent
this fatal disease in man-there is
no treatment once the symptoms
of the disease appear, there is no
known cure. The control of rabies
in man rest entirely upon pre-
Vention.

YuIe Fires May
Iniure Children

Some American children may
spend this Christmas in hospitals,
suffering from painful and dis
figuring burns.
That is the warning of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, which points out that the
Christmas season is one of the
most dangerous in the year from
the standpoint of fires.
Use, of flammable decorations,
careless smoking by adults near
Christmas treets, and selection of
toys which can cause injury are
among the special hazards in the
home at Christmas time, the Ma
tional Board states.
The organization offered this
check list for parents, to reduce
the hazard to children during the
Christmas holidays:
i. Do not dress children In film
sy flammable costumes.
2. Do not use lighted candles at
Christmas. Use electric lights in
stead.
3. When choosing new Christ
mas lights, look for marking
which indicates listing by Under
writer's Laboratories, Inc.
A. Do not use cotton or paper
decorations on your tree unless
they are flame-proof.

Peoria Youth Is
State Winner In
SAVING The Soil

CHICAGO ~ As a reward for
his constructive efforts in soil
saving, 1s year-old Alfred Laugh
rey has been named the top Ohio
state winner in the 1850 National
All Club Soil and Water Conser-
vation awards program.
Alfred's state award is gold
watch engraved with his name
provided by The Firestone Tire
& Rubber Company. The program
is conducted by the Extension
Service of the State Agricultural
College with USDA cooperating.
On his fathers 293-acre farm
in Union County, Peoria, Ohio,
Alfred has been engaged in soil
and water conservation practices
for the past three years.
He has followed rigorous
schedule of lime and fertilizer in
areas where tests showed the
need. All of his pastures are ro-
tated on schedule.
Where erosion was indicated Al
fred has laid drain tile, has
utilized strip and contour plant
ing on sloping land, has terraced
the gentle slopes and used di-
version bitches to carry off ex-
cess water. The waterways have
been seeded to permanent grass.
Alfred has found time to do
wild life planting at the edges OF
the wooded areas on his farm, in
drains and in wasteland.
He plans to continue his soil
saving practices indefinitely.

Future Bright
For Producers

Ohio farmers can expect good
prices for their hogs so long as
their production does not exceed
demands of our increasing popula-
tion," an agricultural extension
economist at Ohio State Univer-
sity has declared.
Mervin G. Smith said people
with more money to spend and
fewer durable goods to spend it
on" buy more meat. During the
last war pork production per per-
son was large, yet the demand
was sufficient to keep price re-
sonably strong most Of the time,
he pointed out.

DR.. Parshall typified to a great
degree the younger generation in
terested in the rebirth of harness
horse racing. Unlike many Of the
older school, he didn't have trot-
ting horsemen written all over
him." A college graduate, he was
tall, slender, sandy-haired, with
an engaging grin that betokened
love of sports.
I'm not superstitious," he once
said. II don't believe much in
luck. The fellow who wins races
is the driver who watches the
horse in front of him-never trails
a dangerous horse-and with it
all is keeping an eye on every
horse in the race"

Rabies a Challenge to the
Community

community
The essence of the rabies
problems, from public
health viewpoint, is that rab-
les never inconveniences the
masses and strikes with fatal
results only relatively rarely.
furthermore, many misguid-
ed groups consistently con-
tend that the rabies menace
is nonexistent. If it were pos
sible to dramatize rabies by
exhibiting cases at every
street corner, or TO infllct
one-day mild attack of rabies
upon a considerable portion
of the population overnight,
the problem would cease to
exist.
Such measures being impossible,
the slow and painful progress OF
education must be undertaken by
public health officers, physicians,
and veterinarians to achieve grad
ually some effective control OF the
disease.
In any community where rabies
is present, and in London we have
two known cases, strict quaran-
tine of all dogs in the community
for 80 days, together with vaccina-
ton of all dogs in the area,
should be required. Isolation and
control of suspected or probab-
! ly infected dogs is important.
In any community where rabies
is present every animal that in
flicts a bite upon man must be
suspected of having rabies. Treat
ment of the wound and isolation
of the dog are measures to be tax.

Plans for Building
1900 Housing Units
Given Green Light

The way was cleared today for
the National Capital Housing
Authority to go ahead with plans
for 1000 units of low-rent public
housing here.
The Commissioners have exc
cuted a cooperative agreement
with NCHA, accepting RESPONSE
bility for providing such munich
pal installations as streets and
sewers.
NCHA may now start spending
the rest of an earmarked $3.50, 900
preliminary advance from the
Public Housing Administration
for plans and site studies. The
housing authority already has
$4,000 of the advance.
The Districts financial con-
tribution is the difference between
the amount it normally would get
through taxes and the 10 per cent
of rentals which NCHA will turn
over to the city in lieu of taxes,
Nine sites have been approved,
but their locations have not been
made public.
The cooperative agreement has
been IA months in the making
The District has been holding up
its approval until specific informa-
tion on the sites made it possible
for the city to be sure additional
highway, water, sewer and other
requirements would fit in with its
systems.
The Commissioners are required
to demolish 1000 substandard
housing units within five years
after completion of the 1000 new
units.
AS finally approved, however,
the agreement provides that If
the tight housing situation con-
tinues, NCHA will join with the
Commissioners in seeking an ex-
tension Of the time.
