BRITAIN WARNS LEAGUE TO
SAFEGUARD INTERESTS
Geneva.—The League of Nations
is admittedly in peril because of its
failure to settle the Italy-Ethiopian

ing her interests.

Asheboro’s Canine Population |
Decreased Rapidly Within The~
Past Fortnight Due To Rabies
Abound forty dogs and several
other animals, which h.id been exposed
to a mad dog:, have been killed in
Asheboro in the past two weeks, ac
cording to Police Chief, Dewey Bulla.
Thirteen of the dogs, and two cows
were killed at the city dump heap
last week, and it is reported that three
actual mad dogs were shot in Ashe
boro during the week.
Dr. Weston, veterinarian, states that
he has been giving a full treatment to
four hogs, one horse, seven cows, and
five dogs which were exposed to a
rabid dog. Many dogs of Asheboro
have been vaccinated as a precau
tionary measure. A hog belonging to
Fletcher Humble was bitten by one
of his dogs that went mad, and the
hog went mad before the treatments
given it could take effect. Dr. Weston
said that the animal had been bitten
severely about the head.
Six of the fine fox-hounds belong
ing to Will Bunting, also of Asheboro,
were killed, as were four dogs be
longing to Connie Ingold.
The police department emphasises

any stray dogs found without a tag
will be caught and killed.
There have been numerous reports
of rabid dogs over the county, and all
owners are urged to keep their dogs
up and under observation. At the
first sign of restlessness, nervousness,
or queerness in a dog, it should be
locked up, as this is the first stage
of Tabies.
A squirrel came down out of a tree
and attacked Mrs. M. L. Williams of
Asheboro recently. The squirrel was
killed, and its head sent to Raleigh to
be examined. The official report said
that no evidence of rabies was found,
but Mrs. Williams was advised to take
the treatment as a precautionary
measure since a mad dog had passed
that way about two weeks ago.
Since rabies is a virus that can only
live in an animal or human, and be
transferred through an abrasion in the
skin, it could be almost completely
eradicated from the country if every
dog owner had his dogs vaccinated,
and kept them dose in for about two
years. Then the virus could not spread

One of the important events of the
P.-T. A. year is the state convention
which will be held in Charlotte at the
Charlotte hotel April 22 through 24.
Among the delegates from Randolph
county who are planning to attend
are Mrs. L. F. Ross, Mrs. E. L. Hed
rick and Mrs. George Burkhead of

Mrs. Carl Caveness of Franklinville.
The convention theme is “Looking

from Oklahoma, and Sidonie Latsner
Gruenberg, director of the Child
Study Association of America, and
lecturer on Parent Education at

Coming events for Parent-Teacher

'this course.
A meeting of the western North

diamond on several occasions during
the past several years and it is under

Local Government Commission
Has Approved Plans For Ad
ditional Water Pipes
Asheboro Streets
Will Be Patched
CCC Boys Setting Out Trees
And Beautifying City Pond;
Erosion Work Also
Springtime in Asheboro sees a
rather extensive program under way.
According to Mayor Bunch, the local
government commission has placed
the final stamp of approval on the
necessary bonds for the extension ot
water pipe lines and for the larger
pipes now necessary to serve the
town. Bids will be received at an early
date and the work will probably begin
shortly. It will be recalled that some
12,000 feet of 12 inch water pipes wilt
replace the now inadequate 8 inch
lines.
Further improvement in the town
which will be greeted with general ap
proval is the announcement of the
materials at hand for the patching of
the streets of Asheboro, which are ill
the worst shape since the town had
“good roads” and sidewalks. Neces
sary supplies are now on hand to do
this work and, since the weather is
now favorable, it will probably be
done immediately. The recent bad
weather has not improved the worn
streets of the town.
There is some talk of paving
several additional streets of the town
during the summer months. This,
however, will depend entirely upon the
matter of sentiment of the property
owners along the proposed streets, for
they it will be who will pay. This is
not a city project, according to tho
town rules and the owners of the in
dividual property will be entirely
responsible for whether or not this
work is done.
Now that the weather is better,
work is beginning at the city pond
by the colored boys of Randolph’s CCC
camp. The grounds will be beautified
by the cutting of dead trees, setting
out countless young trees along the
vacant hillside and, at the same time,
preventing erosion. The city pond was
last summer a favored spot for picnics
and, when this extra work has been
completed, _ will prove even more
'popular. x ' ,
Dental Program Now
Being Conducted In
Schools Of Randolph
Dr. H. E. Butler, State School
Dentist In Cooperation With
County Health Department
An important dental program is
being conducted at the Asheboro city
school by Dr. H. E. Butler, state
school dentist, through the coopera*
|tion of the local county health de*
I partment, the school officials, and the
North Carolina state board of health.
Dr. Butler is conducting class room
and auditorium lectures on the proper
care of teeth and the importance of
daily use of the toothbrush, and re
gular visits to the family dentist.
Many children are being given
treatment by the state dentist in
demonstration of what may be done
if the parents will cooperate by taking
their child to the family dentist, and
giving the child the opportunities of
dental treatment.
In this demonstration work, many
infectious conditions are cleared up,
but it is impossible for Dr. Butler
to treat each one of the 1300 children
at the school. Many serious conditions
found will not be treated at school,
but the parents will be notified of the
further dental attention needed by the
child.
In this state school dentist work
for children between the ages of six
and thirteen, importance is being
placed on the proper care of baby
teeth, and the sixth year molars,
which are pennanent teeth and erupt
around the age of si c years. These
teeth are lost many times at a very
early age because parents regal'd them
as baby teeth and do not take proper
care of them.
