Dogs Develop
Encephalitis
Even though' several dogs in the
Morehead City area have develop
cd symptoms of rabies recently
their affliction is not rabies but
encephalitis, or a type of virus of
the brain, l)r C E. Paden. veteri
Parian, reported yesterday.
Dr Paden said many people had
become alarmed at seeing rabies
symptoms in their dogs However,
he emphasized, the animals are suf
fering from encephalitis which has
similar symptoms but does not
have the harmful affect on humans
that rabies has
Eirst symptoms of this disease
are a fever and lack of appetite,
he explained After five or six days
the dog, if more than a yea'r old,
will recover after passing a stage
where he experiences stiffness in
the hind legs
If the dog is less than a year old,
the veterinarian said, he will us
ually go into convulsions and die.
However, if he does recover he
will have a twitching paralysis and
probably go blind
There is no known preventative
or vaccine for erfcephalitis, Dr.
Paden continued When an animal
is found suffering from it, the vet
erinanan uses what medicines he
has to relieve any misery that ex
ists.
IFIrct traces of the disease local
ly were recorded in February
though it was prevalent in New
Bern as early as three years ago
Chiefc danger from it is not to the
dog, the doctor continued, but from
the fact thai humans are likely to
judge it as rabies and become fran
tic in their efforts to gjspose of
tha dog

Appraisal of official election re.su Its in the calm after
I two months of politicking shows that the Hassell ticket,
I more formally known as the "Go Forward" ticket, il i.-pl.?>
eil telling strength in only two western precincts, ami sur
prisingly piled in the votes in about eight down east pre

The "Go Forward" party, which
I in comparison to then opponents
almost looked as though they were

i said, "I not yon your t oad, boys.'
i Nor did Salter Path follow in tin
Scott Hassell train. Promise of
paving the road to that isolated
community was dangled hv "con
tenders for the crown" before tin
eyes of Salter Pat hers
Stella, in the bailiwick of Allen '
J. Vinson, commissioner candidate
on the Hassell ticket, went right
down the line for "the court house
gang." Mr. Vinson excepted lie
polled the highest commissioner
vote in that precinct
The eight down east precincts
which saw fit this time to cast their
lot with the county's new Demo
cratic faction are concentrated,
with the exception ol Mernmon. in 1
the home territory of two of tin
leading candidates on the Hassell
ticket, Hugh Willis and Vivian
Chad wick.
