Innoculation Urged For Household Pets, Even Though County Is Now Rabies-Free '"Dou elai Cnuntv TTaalih rtt; - Dr. John H. Donnelly, said today that despite recent reports of rab ies in three southern Oregon coun ties, there is no immediate need for mass inoculation clinics in Douglas County. -However," the health officer continued, "dog owners are urged by the health department to have their pets inoculated just to be on the safe side. It has been borne out that if rabys strikes, it is the unvaccinated dogs which become infected." In California Donnelly said that incidences of rabies have been reported recent ly in Curry, Jackson and Klamath counties. He said that it is quite evident that the wild life in north ern California is also infected with the disease. "Because the disease is so close to Douglas County," the doctor said, "the health office and the county veterinarians are urging the innoculation of dogs." He said Hatfield Uncritical Of Pearson Moves PORTLAND (AP) -The moves by acting Gov. Walter Pearson drew no criticism from Gov. Mark Hatfield on his return Mon day night from a trip to South America. 1 Republican Hatfield was asked about Democratic Pearson's ac tions to try to halt a move of the regional postoffice from Portland to Seattle, and to free Chester Lincoln Fitzwater, 47, Lebanon, from prison. Of the postoffice action, Hat field said, "I welcome any at tempt by any individual to retain the Portland postoffice." Hatfield said he had talked with Postmaster General Arthur Sum--merfield in Washington prior to the South American trip. He called the postoffice move "capri cious, arbitrary and without foundations of logic or reason... At no time have 1 had presented to me valid material that would indicate a reason lor the move. Of the release of Fitzwater. who had been convicted of killing his wife, Hatfield said, "He (Pear son) has every bit as much legal authority to do this as I would nave u I were making the deci sion." He made no further com ment, i The sovernor was accomoanied by his wife and his legal assist ant, Loren v. Hicks, who made the tour of Brazil and Argentina with 28 other governors All said they were impressed 'with the good will still apparent toward the United States. Hatfield urged increased economic and cultural ties with South America. most county veterinarians are of fering a reduced rale of $3.50 fori auimai iiiui-uiauuii. "Rabies," Donnelly said, can in fect any warm blooded animal. However, the canine family, which includes dogs, foxes, and wolves, are most commonly inflicted with the disease. Skunks and bats also very often contract rabies." According to the health officer the disease attacks the central ner vous system of the animal, bring ing on almost certain death. It is contracted through a bite, the vir us of the diseased animal spread ing through the saliva to the bit ten animal. "It is one of the symptoms of the disease that an animal wilh rabies will attack and bite any thing which gets in its way," the health officer stated. "Because of this," he continued, "once the disease begins in a com munity or area it can quickly spread unless adequate control measures are taken to stop it. Im munization of dogs is one of these control measures." Rabies in Oregon is apparently being spread by bats. In all three counties which have reported inci dences of the disease, bats have been discovered which are infect ed. Dr. Donnelly said that the health office has received a number of bats as well as a couple of skunks but that reports from the state Health Department laboratory showed no sign of rabies in the animals. The health officer also said that his office had been receiving an increasing number of calls about dog bites, but that in every in stance thus far the dogs were not diseased with rabies. Donnelly said that a dog that bites someone should be immediately chained or penned up and watched, it the dog isn't dead within a week he prob ably doesn't have rabies," the doc tor said.

(AP) Su perior Judge Richard B. Eaton Monday convicted five northwest ern Oregon teenagers of armed robbery and burglary. He then said the boys will be turned over to Yamhill County authorities if that county's circuit court accepts jurisdiction. The five are Juan Galaviz and Richard W. Cavitt, both 16, Day ton; Larry D. White, 16. Amity; Lonnie Forrest, 15, McMinnville; and David Williamson, 14, Lafay ette. They were arrested near Red ding Nov. 22 after engaging in what Richard Hart, sheriff's in vestigator, said was a half-day crime spree. C. M. DePue and Frank Berg told the court that the boys took from them, at gunpoint, guns and ammunition in the Pollard Flat area, 40 miles north of Redding. Paul R. Smith, Pollard Flat, testi fied that they stole a .22 caliber rifle and ammunition from his house. es should an animal that has bit ten someone be shot in the head. He said that only by laboratory ex amination of the brain can it be determined whether an animal has rabies or not. "Shooting an ani mal in the head destroys the brain so that an examination is not pos sible," Dr. Donnelly stated. Finally the health officer warned that a person who is bitten by any animal should immediately consult his family physician. He said that rabies in human can be very pain fid and if untreated nearly always leads to death. He warned that un der no circumstances should an animal bite go untreated. Welfare Aid Upped In Jobless Crisis THE DALLES (AP) The state is trying to meet a sharp upsurge in Oregon unemployment by giving ,14 Oregon counties $46,500 for emergency welfare needs, , The state Public Welfare Com mission took the action Monday after getting reports on a sudden increase of jobless. "Our load is about doubled. We have to request additional help. It's touch and go whether we will be able to keep up with it," said Gus Lange, Multnomah County welfare administrator. Miss Jeanne Jewett, state wel fare administrator, said general assistance payments for the state were up 79.2 per cent in October over the previous October. There were 2.285 applications, compared to 1,439 in October, 1959. Private welfare agencies re ported their means exhausted in trying to neip out.

Tuei., Nov. 29, 1960 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 3 Civil Service Director Proposes Pay Increase For Slate Employes SALEM (AP) The state gov ernment with some 17,500 em ployees faces difficulties because it can not meet the wage rates of its competition. ine competition is from other public and private employers in this stale, in neighboring states, and sometimes throughout the nation, especially for key positions. The state Civil Service Commis sion has submitted a recommen dation to the governor, which it hopes will ease the difficulty. Stat Wages Low Mclvin H. Cleveland, state civil service director, said a survey made by his department in Sep tember showed wages paid by the state were about 11 per cent below those of other public and private employers of the West. The Civil service commission proposes an average 10 per cent increase. Since the total spent by the state for salaries, not includ ing higher education, is nearly $150 million, this would mean an overall increase of about $15 mil lion. Eight million dollars would come from the general fund, $7 million from revenues outside the general fund. Incrtas Varies ' Cleveland said the proposal would mean big increases for some employes, 10 per cent in creases fdr others, and no in creases for some 1,000 employes in categories where competitive circumstances do not require it. The commission wants the leg islature to implement this plan as soon as possible. In the past, the wage increases have been left until, late in the session and often suffer because of it. Finally,, the commission pro poses a contingency fund to allow increases in critical job areas in the biennium above those specifi cally legislated. Recruiting Problem Cleveland said at present the state is plagued by difficult re cruiting problems. He said in some cases the state is forced to "employ marginal employes in order to provide even a minimum service." This, he added, will mean fu ture woes when these employes advance. He said often this group provides important administrative personnel for the future, Cleveland also, pointed to rising turnover: in 1959, 34 per cent of the slate's typists quit, i 62 per cent of the stenographers quit. On the basis of the first half of ISKin figures, the state could lose 78 per cent of the typists and 100 per cent of the stenographers. Often, Cleveland said, salaries are forced up because technologi cal advances bring a demand for 1 5 Children Escape Hurts In Bus Crash PORTLAND f AP) A school hus and a truck collided east of Portland Monday, but the 15 children aboard the bus were not hurt. . The truck driver. Ronald Tracy Dahm, 21, Portland, suffered bruises on a leg and hand. He was the only person injured. The bus was carrying students from the Reynolds School District. a more highly skilled person. He pointed to slate hospitals as an outstanding example of this. Starting Pay Proposals Here are some proposals in the Civil Service Commission recom mendations on starting pay for specific jobs: A research analyst, who must be a college graduate, would be advanced from $360 to $420 per month. A fiscal auditor, who must have a college .degree in accounting, would be raised from $380 to $420 monthly. A social worker, who must have a college degree, would be boosted from $342 to $380 monthly. An automobile mechanic would be advanced from $360 to $120. A graduate nurse would be advanced from $310 to $326. One classification, which covers about 10 persons, would receive one of the greatest percentage increases. This is the revenue auditor, who would be advanced from $525 to $655.
