From evidence submitted to THE NEWS by Veterinarian Wm. Geo. Chrisman ' there is every likelihood that dog owners in Or ane county are courting trouble by failure to have their dogs vaccinated against rabies. LesS than tyM-third of dogs listed for tiudikionr ’have received shots this spHng; and Dr. Chrisman esti mates that not more than one fifth of the county’s total dogs have been vaccinated. This is *Dr. Chrisman’s letter: “Every few days I am asked if the clinics to vaccinate dogs against rabies whieh were held . at every school in Orange county were successful. The answer far It is estimated that there are 4,000 or more dogs in the county 2,250 of which are listed for taxes, 'the figures obtained from the City Hall, Chapel, show 480, the May or’s office in Hillsboro, 148, and Carrboro, 50. These, of course, are included in the 2,250 dogs list ed in' the county tax collector’s, office. The records of the clinics reveal that less than 700 dogs were vaccinated against rabies in the antire county. ."An average of two "people in the county are bitten by dogs every week. A mathematician can fig ure his' chances' of being bitten by a dog that has not been vac cinated against rabies. “An exhaustive advertising campaign was conducted t in the county through . your paper and two others published in the county. Each paper carried the time and place the clinic would be held at each one of the thirty-five schools in the county. A letter stating the same was sent to each one of the 160 odd teachers. On visiting the schools the teachers told me they had announced the cunics to tneir pupils several times. “In addition to these letters and newspaper notices, cards, letters, and hand bills were mailed to many residents in the vicinity of each school. “Postive cases of rabies in dogs have been found in this and ad joining counties this year. People in this county who were bitten by rabid dogs have taken the Pasteur or anti-rabic treatment.” Lions Club Has' Installation Of Officers Today New officers for the Hillsboro Lions club were elected at the reg ular meeting two weeks ago and they are to be Installed today when the Lions meet at the Ma sonic building during the noon hour.
