ers of scouting.
$4,000 is needed to carry on the

additional funds are needed over
those provided by the Annual Red

tain its goal.

Public Health Group
Asked To Assist With
1851 Dog Vaccinations

at is my recommendation that
the dog vaccination ordinance con-

County for the year beginning
April 1, 1851" reported DR.. V. L..
Ellicott, County Health Officer at
a meeting of the Public Health
Lay Council, on April End, in
Rockville.
"While vaccinations of dogs are
being carried out in some commun-
tiles of the Washington area the
measures to control rabies are by
no rmeans sufficient to insure
against the introduction or con-
tinuation of the disease" said Dr.
Ellicott. "There is no question in
my mind but that we should go on
with our rabies control program"
The Public Health Lay Council
was requested to recruit volun-
teers in their communities to help
with clerical jobs and help pro-
mote interest on the part of boys
and girls who are dog owners.
