Of Leg. Session
The Unity Party received a
tremendous vote of confidence
the last election. During this
session Of the legislature, we
shall attempt to justify that
popular confidence.
We are here simply to work
in the peoples interest. The
program we offer is designed
to promote the welfare and
happiness Of the people Of all
the Virgin Islands.
Everyone is complaining
about the high cost OF living IN
the Virgin Islands. ! am happy
to note that the Governor is
cognizant Of the very grave
problem facing hundreds Of
families in these islands. One
Of the ways to combat the
problem is to Immediately put
more money in the pockets Of
the low and middle income
groups. Unity Party believes it
is shameful to pay an en-
ployee in the government SER
vice 500 a month. We are of
fering legislation to raise the
minimum to $115, and we are
proposing a fiat across the
board SIS per month cost Of
living bonus to be paid to
every government employee
whose salary is less than
$4,000 a year. During World
II, when the cost Of living was
much less than it is today, the
legislature provided cost q
living bonuses to our govern

ment employees. And we are
lin a much better financial po-
sition today.
We are again proposing le-
gislation which would ade-
Iouateiy protect government
employees from unfair and
capricious dismissals. We be-
llieve that the Government
Employees Service Commits
sion should have increased
powers to finally dispose Of
appeals from dismissals, rather
than to act as a mere advisory
body.
Several years ago Unity
Party offered legislation to
provide medical insurance for
government employees. It be-
came law. But it has not been
supplemented. We shall move
to have this program put into
effect as expeditiously as
possible.
We have been upset by the
fact that if a head Of a family,
not q government employee, is
struck down by a serious all
ment, not job-connected, his

Parade and crowning of
the 4 III queen and king is
always one of the high points
of the Geauga county fair.
This year the crowns went

Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin T. Hof-
stetter of Chardon. She is q
senior at Chardon high scho-
oil.
Tim is the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Frank of Hunts
burg. He is a sophomore at

than any fair in the long his.

court has indicates a reason.
able relationship between
compulsory dog vaccination
and public health and the pre-
vention of disease, it is the
finding of this court, that the
program has a real and sub
stantial relation to public
health, even though other
methods are effective and
should be used in conuunc
tion Herewith.
Since 1t is known that ra-
bies can be spread only by
actual contact through a bite
of, or infected saliva upon a
body opening from a rabid
animal, and since in the nor
NAL course of business, both
show dogs brought into the
county and dogs kept in ken
nels can be shown to be con-
fined either by leash or in a
separate pen or enclosure,
and thus In both cases 1t
would be highly unlikely if
not impossible for such dogs
to be bitten by a rabid ami
NAL.
Whoever owns, keeps or
harbors a dog or dogs within

Health district, should be mo-

Court 'OK's' Rabies Shots

Compulsory vaccination of
dogs against rabies infec :
tions was ruled legal his
week by Judge Robert Ford.
The disputed inoculations
came before the Judge on an
appeal made by Paul j.
Robinson of Thompson.
Because of the control ov-
er dogs boarded in kennels
or brought into the county
for show purposes, the Judge
ruled the regulations on
them should be modified.
In his opinion Judge Ford
said, !"
Whether the purpose to be
served by the resolution pur-
suant to the police power of
the state through its agent

Health bears a reasonable

mony herein indicates til e

public health, and that dog
vaccination is one safe thou

Such modification would re-
move the unreasonable and
oppressive hardship that the
regulation now imposes on
kennel owners who m a k.e
their living boarding out of
county dogs not subject to
the regulation, and would put
the obligation upon the in
county dog owners to vaccin-
ate their dogs prior to board
ing them.
The court is well a ware
that it is approaching, if not
already there, the field Of
legislation. Ohio has no ade-
quate rabies law; the amend
ments to Ohio Revised Code
are at best, clumsy and GER
tainly inadequate. If rabies
is such a subject that 1t can
not be handled unaer the gem
eral powers of the board of
health, and seemingly from
the intense feeling displayed
by the plaintiffs herein, it
cannot, the Legislature should
enter this field, define the
exact time when compulsory
vaccination can and should
be imposed, fix the exempted
classes Of dogs and dog har-
borers, specify the approved
vaccine and dosage and de-
clare how and by when the
program is to be administer
ed.

Cutting the cripple loss by

Every cripple we fail to re-

Improved shooting is the
