mais Must Be Leashed.

Rabies Clinic is being held by
the State Board of Health at the
Milford Fire Hall today, Friday,
May II from 3-5 p. m. All dogs and
cats older than six moxths can re-
ceive a single painless injection
that will immunize them against
rabies. Each pet must be brought
in on a leash. Owners will receive
a certificate of vaccination for
their pets. Those who can pay,
will be asked a one dollar dona-
ton to help support the clinic. Dr.
James r. West of Milford will ad-
minister the vaccine and members
of the Milford VFW Auxiliary will
serve as volunteer clerks. Mr.. John
Passwaters is handling the publi-
city for the Rabies Clinic.
In Delaware, during 1856, rabies
have taken a toll of at least AZ ami
mails, including 25 foxes, 10 dogs,
4 cats, l COW, / goat and l rae
coon. Examination of brain tissue
of these animals at the State Board
of Health laboratories, proved
that rabies virus caused their
death. Health Officials in Delaware
are seriously concerned over the
fact that as many animal deaths
were caused by rabies in the last
two years as in the past twenty
years combined. Thus a rabies con-
troll program has been developed
by the State Board of Health, in
cooperation with the State Game
and Fish Commission, the State
Board of Agriculture, the Veterin-
ary Medicine Association and the
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. This program
attempts to achieve that at least
1879 of the 10000 dogs in the State
be yaccinated against rabies. At
the moment. less than $4,000 dogs
have received this protection.
Vaccination of animals is the
only method by which rabies can
be prevented. Once rabies symp-
toms appear in an animal or hu-
man, no treatment known today
can save his life. Pasteur treat
ments are given to persons bitten
by animals proved or suspected of
