Rabies Vaccination For Pets

for the protection ot the fam­

D r. Richard H. Wilcox, state
health o f f i c e r , Oregon State
Board of Health, stated.
Although the prevalence of
this deadly disease has been
greatly reduced by vaccination
and closer supervision of fam­
ily pets, it continues to be a
threat. The possibility always
exists that unvaccinated pets
may be bitten by a stray dog,
cat or wild animal that has the
disease. Only recently, a Jack-

Counties Receive
Game Monies
Oregon c o u n t i e s received
over $43,000 from the Oregon
Game Commission. According
to P. w. Schneider, state game
director, the game commission
was assessed $45,690 In taxes
and other assessments on com­
mission-owned lands. This fig­
ure, for the 1963-64 fiscal year,
Is slightly higher than for the
previous year and brings the
total for the past five years to
over $200,000.
The game commission owns
approximately 66,000 acres of
land, the m ajority of which
are used as game or fish man­
agement areas, public shooting
grounds, and p u b l ic access
sites. Management uses Include
elk and deer winter ranges,
waterfowl refuges, upland game
production areas, and public
fishing lakes.
Trout from Down
Under Planted Here
One hundred thousand New
Zealanders arrived In Oregon
recently and are now being
prepared for permanent res­
idency. The arriva ls from the
land down under were rainbow
trout eggs and they are now
residing in the hatching (roughs
of the game commission’s Oak
Springs hatchery on the Des­
chutes river.
The eggs were flown to Hawaii
by Canadian Pacific Airlines
and then transferred to North­
west Orient A irlines for the
last leg of their hop. Thetrout-
lo-be are h e r e through the
courtesy of the New Zealand
Department of Fisheries In ap­
preciation for courtesies ex­
tended by th e Oregon Game
Commission.
Though the number Is not
great enough to appreciably add
to the trout production schedule
of th e g a m e commission’s
hatcheries, the Imports w ill add
new blood to domestic stocks.
Before the turn of the cent­
ury, rainbow trout eggs were
shipped to New Zealand from
the U. S. Some of the world’s
finest trout fishing is now pro­
vided by the progeny of that
