Watch For Rabid Dogs
Since April 1st four rabid dogs have
been killed in Leaksville township.
Eighteen people are now taking the'
treatment. Because of the seriousness
of being bitten by a rabid dog, all dogs
have been placed under quarantine for
60 days.
Dr. B. M. Drake, director of the
Health Department, urges that every
one heed a few simple rules and co
operate with the authorities in their
effort to rid the community of this
serious menace. These rules are:
(1) If you have a dog that has not
been vaccinated in the past 12 months,
have this done at once.
(2) If you own a dog, keep it enclos
ed ,not tied. A tied dog is at the mercy
of any rabid animal passing by.
(3) Do not pet or make advances to
ward any strange dog, regardless of
how friendly it seems. This cannot be
over emphasized.
(4) If bitter} by any dog or other
animal, wash the wound in soap and
water at once, consult your physician
or report to the Health Department for
advice.
(5) If bitten on or around the face
or arms, begin treatment at once, with
out waiting to determine whether the
animal is rabid or not. If it is found to
be non-rabid, the treatment may be
discontinued.
(6) All dogs or other animals bitten
by a dog suspected of having rabies
should be killed at once.

Small Betty was all eyes at the fash
ionable church wedding.
“Did the lady change her mind?” she
whispered to her mother.
“Why, no. What makes you think so?”
“’Cause she went up the aisle with one
man and came back with another.”
V-E Day Quietly
Observed Here
Practically everyone gathered about
radios at 9 a. m. Tuesday May 8th to
hear President Truman’s announcement
that the war in Europe was won. For
most of us it was not really news but
the announcement was received with as
much heartfelt joy as any that was
ever announced.
Immediately after the announcement
the mills and offices closed for the day
and within an hour the churches all
over the community were filled with
humble, happy worshippers intent on
giving thanks that the terrible conflict
in Europe is ended.
And many a silent prayer for the safe
return of loved ones was offered by
■parents and friends, coupled with the
sincere prayer that the war with Japan
will soon be over.

St. Peter and St. Thomas Aquinas
were playing golf one heavenly after
noon and St. Peter’s first drive was a
hole in one. St. Thomas stepped to the
tee and also scored a hole in one.
“All right, now,” said St. Peter, “let’s
cut out the miracles and play golf.”
