(Scout Photo' Rabies Clinics Set Up; Moody Asks Help On Dog Problem Beginning February v, and con tinuing through February 26, every one in Cherokee County will be gtuan opportunity to omtributa b? a community effort with real pub lic health importance, according to announcement by District Health Department Sanitarian, Dave Moody. A series of clinics will be held for the vaccination of dogs against rabies, or hydrophobia. All . a dog owner needs to do is to take his dog to one of the many clinics and have him vaccinated. The fee is $1.00 per dog. ? Vaccination gives the dog pro tection against rabies for a period of one year, and is health lnsur ance for the dog owner, his family, and the community, and for the pet. Moody said. Mr. Moody stated that the Dis trict Health Department asks the cooperation of all citizens during this vaccination drive. Clinics will be located at convenient points throughout the county. Citizens are asked to watch for the announce ment in the Scout of times and places of the clinics. In pointing up the importance of getting rid of rabies in the com munity, he referred to Dr. Hinea, state public health veterinarian who said, "Rabies or hydrophobia ! is a dangerous disease of Am and J animals. It la transmitted through the bite of a 'mad' animal. "The sa liva of an animal with rabies con- ' tains the virus which causes the I disease. When the skin is broken by | the animal bite, the saliva enters' the body. "Rabies does not always develop ! after the bite of a rabid animal but when it does the disease is al ways fatal. Fortunately, there is a treatment, the Pasteur treatment, that will prevent rabies If a per son has been bitten. If treatment) are begun promptly, but this Is long and painful. "Our oest protection lies In eliminating rabies and controlling the spread of the disease. This I would eliminate the need for hu man treatment following dog bites." Dr. Hlnes said that other countries, notably England, Swe den and Denmark, have eliminat ed rabies by following definite con trol measures. He recommends these simple steps to be taken by a community. 1. Kia me community of stray dogs. It is the unwanted stray dog that is never vaccinated and is most susceptible when rabies is introduced into a community. RABIES CLINICS Tho following rabies clinics have bean set up to start a 'v ,? ?. . i county-wide pngna against rabies. Dog owners are asked to take their dogs to the clinics for vaccination.
