has continued through most of
the week with one good frost

corner of Fourth and Oak streets.
The town of Oakland and sur
rounding area was without electric

hours.
Frost was pretty general on
Saturday morning with the tenn

fall every day this week in some
areas.

Sheep Found Rabid
But Squirrel Was Not

AS a follow-up to the story last
week about the squirrel and sheep
suspected of having rabies, it de-
veloped that the sheep had rabies
and as far as is known now the
squirrel did not.
These reports were given this
week by those interested in the
cases.
Three children of DR.. Joseph AL
varez had been bitten by squirrel
on May 25. The squirrel later died.
The report from the laboratory
thus far is negative but the techni-
clans are holding the body of the
animal for thirty days as a final
check.
The sheep which was owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Hanlin, OF
Mt. Storm, was found to be rabid
The animal did not bite either Mr.
or Mrs. Hanlin but both had put
their hands down the lambs throat
in trying to aid its breathing. Mrs
Hanlin had an open sore on her
hand and therefore was considered
exposed to the disease.
DR.. Franklin Custer, veterinarian
here, received the report from the
Livestock Sanitary Service at Col
lege Park where the animals head
had been sent The original work
had been done in the laboratory in
Oakland.
DR.. Robert L. Watson, of the U
S. Public Health service, who at
present is on loan to the Maryland
State Department of Health to in
vestigate rabies throughout the
state, visited Oakland and held a
conference with DIR. Arthur F. Jones
county health officer, and DR.. Gus
ter, concerning the rabies scare in
the community.
DR.. Jones pointed out that animal
bites are dangerous since any fur
bearing animal can contact and
spread rabies. He said there had
been no proven cases in the county
since a rabid fox was found in the
Deer Park area in 1855.
