THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 57. THE AMERICAN WAY I «w. ~*Ss* - V/ 4S usuav*^2:iL-<%r V ——^si,- :; ;'- -■ &teiSSitiNaSi*p—— *>SmJC~ Uncle Ferd Gives His Reasons for Resolution By Ferd Davis Uncle Ferd and wife went down to Wilmington to a meeting of the Board of Conservation and Development last week, which was held during the Azalea Festival. We both had a wonderful time, which was due in large part to the unending hospitality of the towns people, every one of whom is a one-man chamber of commerce. Naturally enough, there was some activity of a political nature. I did one thing which may or may not have been politically wise, but it did keep my conscience clear. I introduced a resolution calling on C&D employees to keep the de partment out of politics, but to vote as they please: “The members of the Board of Conservation and Development ex pect and believe that the employ ees of the Department will con tinue their loyal service to the peo ple of North Carolina. The loyal service envisioned precludes the use of State employment as an in strument of furthering the cause of any particular candidate for polit ical office. We believe it is the privilege and duty of each em ployee to weigh carefully the mer its of each candidate and then vote according to the dictates of con science.” This resolution was passed with out a dissenting vote. Governor Scott did not like it. Varied Comments Various newspapers have inter preted this resolution in various ways. So far none of them have told exactly what was in my mind and heart; they, are not supposed to, for that is not their job . Four years ago I worked as hard as I knew how for the elec tion of Kerr Scott as governor of North Carolina. I spent time and money in his campaign, and I do not regret it. He has made mis takes, but I think he has also been a great governor. After Mr. Scott’s election, I con tinued my active support of his program for a better North Caro lina. Despite my desire, expressed to him, to continue serving on the Wakelon School Board, I resign ed to accept appointment to the Board of Conservation & Develop ment.

Davis Sons, Publishers The Health Department is inter tested in dog control because the dog is most often the animal re sponsible 'or the spread of rabies in a community. Rabies is transmitted from animal to animal or from ainmal to man through the bite of a rabid ani mal. Such a bite must be of a nature that the infected animal will transmit the tiny virus in the saliva of a rabid animal to an ani mal or a person bitten. Antirabic treatment is some times definitely indicated and is the only scientific medical proce dure against rabies once a person has been bitten and infected. It must also be definitely under stood that rabies does not always develop after a rabid animal bites another animal or a person, but it has been my experience that no person bitten by a rabid animal or one suspencted of being rabid is willing to ignore such a bite and to refuse to take treatment. There fore, they usually take antirabic treatment whether they need it or not, often for mental satisfaction only. i Effective Measures ’ We know that in countries like England, Sweden, and Denmark, the disease has almost completely been eradicated by observing the following measures: 1. Ridding the community of stray dogs. (It is the unwanted stray dog that is never vaccinated, is never controlled, and is most likely to be the first in a com munity to develop rabies.) 2. Vaccinating dogs yearly. j 3. Reporting all cases of rabies I or suspected rabies to the Health Department as soon as it is known to occur in a community. The Wake County Health De partment earnestly solicits the cooperation every citizen in Wake County to take every step possi ble to make it difficult or per haps impossible for rabies to oc cur in a community that has put into operation these known and well considered measures. Last Rites to Be Held For Y. D. Woo lard Yackel D. Woolard, 44, of 402 West North Street, Raleigh, bro ther of Mrs. Clifton Carter of Zeb ulon and P. G.
