CONTROL DOGS AND
Y0D CONTROL RABIES
BUT THAT'S NOT EASY
Dogs Travel As  Far As  Sixty
Miles Biting Animals
and Persons "
Controlling rabies is merely controlling the dogs. But Dr. B. J. Kill-
ham, extension specialist in animal
pathology at Michigan State College,
says controlling dogs is not so simple.
Sentimental consideration for dogs
and other factors interfere with well-
intended quarantine restrictions, dog
ordinances, and regulations.
While most species of animals, including man, may become infected, the
spread of hydrophobia is usually
through the dog. It is not necessarily
a seasonal disease, bu-t Is more prevalent during warm weather because
then ihe dogs travel most, Dr. Killham
contends.
A dog, bitten by a rabid animal, may
not develop rabies for weeks or even
months after introduction of the virus
Dr. Killham explains. By that time
the dog may be many miles from the
location where infected. He then
starts a rampage of his own. Dr. Killham says actual reports show dogs
travel as far as 60 miles while en-
gaged in biting animals and persbns.
Dr. Killham tells of a vaccine that
has now been developed which will
protect "most dogs for a period of
about a year after one treatment.
Control of rabies, however, will never
be effective until the movement of
dogs is* restricted; stray dogs eliminated; dog laws, ordinances and regulations obeyed and due regard given to
dog» quarantines.
"If the disease kills a child, that* is
a tragedy which we must charge to
Gin* own unwillingness to comply with
-sane, even though irksome, restrictions," Dr. Killham insists.

Four Sentenced On Drunk
and Disorderly Charge
Recently
Franklin Schaaf, who works the

planted two acres of wneat on the
land last fall after he was told he
could not lease the farm this year.
Schaaf rented the farm last fall and
took possession April 1st ancl he and
Mrs. Slater flgued they should have a
share of the two acres of wheat.
Late Tuesday afternoon Lowell and
Howard Penrose started to combine
the wheat ancl Schaaf claimed that he
had asked them twice to stefp combining the wheat and come to the
house and make a settlement with his
grandmother/but that they continued
cutting the grain. Schaaf then went
to the house ancl got his rifle and loaded it and returned to the field, again
asking the Penrosesto shut the mach
ine down until they had made a settlement.

tractor and Schaaf told them that if
they didn't stop it he would stop it
for them. He then allegedly shot
twice and shot a hole through the radiator.
