DOG CONTROL PROGRAM WOULD COST COUNTY $7,500 FIRST YEAR Ed Cowan and Harold Cauble, area sanitarians working out of the Gaston County Health Depart ment, presented talks and statis tics on rabies to visitors and members of the health depart ment staff at a meeting held in the Parish House of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church Monday morn ing in Gastonia. Capt. Ernest Rankin of the city police department and Bruce Turney, assistant to the city man ager, attended the meeting. The program was presented by the two men and centered on ra bies a nd the dog situation in Gas ton county. Dividing the program into two parts. Cowan and Cau ble talked on “History of Rabies and Development of Vaccine," and “Occurrence and Types ot Rabies.” A statistical comparison was given, comparing the Untied Stat es and North Carolina with Gas ton county. The men engaged in a technical discussion of examining rabid dogs and pseparing their heads for shipment. This was preparatory to a dis cussion of tne state law on rabies, and of the dog warden act pass ed by the 1951 legislature. Prior to the time this law was passed, sheriffs were required to pick up strap dogs. “This was impracti cal," the sanitarians said. The 1951 act, they pointed oit, gave counties the authority to control iogs. Money from dog taxes cas be used to facilitate this, the group was told. 2,400 VACCINATED The dog control programs of 1951-52-53 were discussed by the men. They told the group that approximately 2,400 dogs were vaccinated in Gaston county in 1951. At that time the program was entirely handled by the health department with the department furnishing supplies and equip ment to veterinarians. The vet erinarians did only the vaccinat ing. When the program was changed in 1952, veterinarians furnished everything themselves, also giv ing vaccinations, with the health depaitmeirt setting up clinics and providing publicity. Since then an average of 2,000 dogs have been treated each year, the sanitarians said. While the number threated has dropped slightly, they said, the expense saved on the part of the iepart ment has dropped with the entire program having become more ef fective. “It looks like a step backwards, except that five veterinarian; worked full time for five month; in 1951,’’ the health workers said, 20.000 STRAYS They declared that the health department knows fairly accurate ly how many dogs are in the coun ty. Of the approximately 20,00C here, only about 12 per1 cent have been vaccinattd under the best conditions. "Until such a time that we get a program with a dog warden foi the county, things aren't going tc get any better,” the group was told. The health department made an actual house-to-house survey in the western section of Greater Gas tonia in 1952. The survey was made at tha ttime because of an epidemic of rabies. From that sur vey, the department was able tc determine exactly how many dog; were in the area. By population figures, a total of between 13 ami 20 thousand dogs are estimated to be in the county. The two sanitarians said that with a warden about 80 per cent of these dogs can be brought un der control. It will take that much, they said, to prevent an epidemic of rabies here. They used a chart to show what it will cost the county to start a dog control program. The first year total would amount to $7, 560. This is broken' down to $3,000 for a dog warden’s salary, $1,000 for construction of a dog pound, $2,000 for a truck, $600 for a two-way radio, gas and oil with operating expenses will a mount to $850, and miscellaneous equipment will cost §100. The second ami following years would cost on the average of $4, 450 to keep the program in oper ation. Some of this money could be taken from dog taxes, the men said. They said that in 1952, 4,000 dogs were on the tax books. They estimated this to amount to about five ir six thousand dollars that could be used in the program. Gaston county is surrounded by counties that have a workable dog control program. This is the only county in this section of the state that does not have a dog warden and Gaston has been helped by the fact that no stray dogs are loose to cross the county line, the two men declared. , MRS. RUBY LEWIS HOME FROM HOSPITAL The many friends of Mrs. Ruby Allran Lewis will be glad to know she returned home Saturday from the Gaston Memorial Hospital m Gastonia and is getting along nicely.

TAKE CHILDREN TO THE CLINIC Miss Annie Robinson, director public health nursing, urges all parents of children who will enter school next fall, to be thinking in terms of what c an he done to pre pare the children for school en trance. Children who will enter school for the first time next fall are those that have have their sixth birthday on or before October 16. These children should be taken to pre-school clinics regardless of whether or not they have received all of their immunization shots, ' Miss Robinson said. Schedules of l the 50 clinics to be set up will be I announced in the near future. Clinics are tentatively set to get underway by the middle of March. Some will be split into two ses sions. Miss Robinson said the clin ics are a joint project of schools throughout the county and the public health department and art designed to prepare children for school entrance. Three reasons were sst fo?1f by Miss Robinson to encourage pai - ents to take their children to the clinics, which in reality is a be ginners day program, not only to prepare a child for school but to acquaint him with the school he will enter in the fall. The first is to let the child see the school which he will attend. He can visit classrooms and try out desks so that when he enters school he will be familiar with the facilities. The clinics are important sec ondly, for the purpose of supply ing the schools with information and data for records on registra tion and enrollment. The third is for the child to be examined by nurse and physicians if necessary and be given immun ization shots if they have not pre vious been taken. If the child has been examined and given immunization shots by a phvsiian. he should still attend the pre-school clinics to give school officials the benefit of any examinations that might have been administered. To encourage parents to coop erate in this program, a readiness for school booklet has been pre pared by the Cason Couny Health Department to be distributed to ] parents to give them a better in i sight into a pre-school child's ! needs and how to better adjust the j child for breaking home-ties in the process of starting to school. The booklet jeads off by saying that school is fun and stressing that readiness is important. 11 states that going to school for the first time ’s a big experience for a I six-year-iold. It tells what par ' ents can do to help yocngsters get ! ready for the first year of school. ; Older brothers and sisters often ' come home with bad reports to i give to the youngster about to en ter school. This is a bad thing to ; do, causing the child to expect the l worse. Rather, he should be given | a pleasing insight into school ac I tivities. I arents are wise when they realize that going to school for the first time will be a new and won derful experience for their child. . I They should start early to prepare the child for the first grade. This ran be done >oy teaching the child to play with other chil dren, taking walks past the school, riding buses, going to the store, I and teaching him about traffic | lights and safety. It is also wise to J teach a child nis parent’s names I and address and send him on little 1 errands so that he can learn to ! follow simple directions. I Pointers on preparing the | child for school is to teach him to i HceP clean «nd to get in the hab it of eating an early breakfast. j He should be allowed to eat away from home once in a while so he may become used to eating dif ferent. foods anl different types of cooking. A good examination by a doc tor and dentist is necessary so that any defect or handicap can be corrected. These things can seriously interfere with a child’s progress in school. And, immunization- protection is important, too, so protect him against diphtheria, whooping cough and small p«x. These vac cinations are required for school entrance.
