New Vaccine Developed to Protect Dogs From Rabies
Man Also to Benefit by Its Use
By Paul F. Ellis
United Press Science Editor
New York. June 8 U.R' Man
is helping his "best friend" to
overcome a serious and usually
fatal disease.
Man. in turn, is helping to
prevent the same ailment, rabies,
in himself.
The new development is a
rabies vaccine for dog immuni
zation, described as "the most
important step taken toward
elimination of rabies as a fatal
disease since the work done by
Pasteur."
It was Louis Pasteur, the
French scientist, who first de
veloped a vaccine against rabies.
His work led to the develop
ment of vaccines in other dis
eases.
Vaccine Made Available
The new vaccine was develop
ed by Drs. Herald R. Cox and
Hilary Koprowski, researchers
in the field of virus diseases, and
on the staff of the Lederle la
boratories division, American
Cyanamid company. Pearl River,
N. Y. It was in the same labora
tory where aureomycin, a pow
erful new drug for human use,
was first developed.
The researchers, who expect
the new material will be made
available to all veterinarians
and to state sanitary and public
health officials, said the vaccine
is produced from live virus
which has been modified by
growth in chick embryos.
It does not contain brain or
spinal cord tissue, substances
that made the old type of vac
cine material somewhat danger
ous for human use, and dogs,
too for that matter.
In the old type of vaccine, the
material was made from killed
rabies virus grown in tissues
from the brain and spinal cords,
or the use of fixed live virus
from the same sources.
Rabies Still Top Problem
Dr. Cox said rabies, or hydro
phobia as it is commonly
known, still is a top public
health problem. He said:
"In recent years, more than
7,000 cases of rabies in dogs and
more than 30 cases in humans
have been reported annually,
with the probability that a great
many additional cases are never
reported.
"The fear of rabies is world
wide. The so-called 'reservoir' of
rabies exists .primarily in the
wild animal population of the

editors of the communist party
newspaper Akahata. The move
was in retaliation for their de

call protesting MacArthur's
purge of 24 top communist party
leaders.
At the same time there was
speculation that MacArthur may
order Russian delegates to the
allied control council here to
leave Japan if they continue to
boycott council meetings. They
failed to show up again today.

country and is transmitted from
them to the dog. The number of
human beings affected seems
rather small, but the disease is
dreaded because of the horrible
convulsions by its victims and
the complete certainty of death
once symptoms become ap
parent. "Because of the uniform
fatality among rabies victims,
the great hope of survival in
rabies is prevention."
New Vaccine Has Safety
The Lederle scientists said the
new vaccine has been tested on
about 10,000 dogs and that none
suffered any serious effects.
Some dogs after being vaccinat
ed were injected with the rabies
virus, but the disease was
thrown off.
They said veterinarians will
be able to immunize a dog
against rabies by a single injec
tion and that if dog owners
would cooperate with the vac
cination programs as organized
by public health officials, rabies
can be controlled effectively and
eventually eliminated.

Next time you buy a corset or a

Five manu
facturers got
together today
and compared
notes on the good old days when
ladies were n't interested i n
"uplifts" and when they were
still an actor, a rug salesman,
a psychologist, a dairyman and
a surveyor.
Now they risk life and limb

fortune.
Corraling female bulges in
whalebone and lace Is a delicate
operation, according to manu
facturers M. K. De La Vallade,
G. Peter Rosenfeld, E. Sterling
Ferguson, Jan Erteszek, and
Raymond Redares.
Must Watch Reputation
"You have to be very careful
of your reputation," Rosefeld
added. "Some men might envy
our job of fitting bras on women.
But. actually, it's very danger
ous work.
"Most of us manage to keep
a doctor's objectivity about it
all. But now and then a manu
facturer will step out of line
with a model or a customer and
then we all get a bad name."
That's why. the gentlemen
agreed, they always insist anoth
er woman be present during all
fittings.
"We get a few exhibitionists,"
Rosenfeld said, "and it'i abso
lutely essential that we have
another witness around in case
there's any trouble."
One of Problems
That's Just one of the prob
lems the bra and girdle boys
run into. They also have to keep
ahead of ladies' fashions and
any man knows how ticklish that
is.
If they guess wrong . . . they're
out of business. And as members

they do $20,000,000 a year.

Erteszek shrugged. "I was a

Footlighters Plan
Aid to Girl Scouts
At the June meeting of the
Footlighters, civic theater group,
Monday evening, plans were
laid for instruction o f local
eighth and ninth grade Girl
scout groups, June 12 through
June 23, for merit badges in
dramatic activity.
Several Footlighters members
will work voluntarily in the pro
ject. A request had been made
to the group for the instruction
by local Girl scout day camp
chairman, Mrs. Fletcher Stout.
The Monday meeting was one
of the most significant since the
Footlighters had organized, ac
cording to Keith Hopkins, vice-
president. Many newcomers at
tended, with a record turn-out of
older members, to hear Mrs.
Phyllis Beardsley, Ashland,
speak on potentialities of the
theater in the church. A success
ful playwright in that field her
self, Mrs. Beardsley pointed out
the scope of drama as a medium
for messages and stimulation of
better living.
Jim Sullivan, educational di
rector, outlined a dramatic
training progra'm for the next
three months which will include
presentation of play readings to
familiarize members with cur
rent and classic drama; opera
tion of an entertainment unit for
service to other civic organiza
tions, and weekly classes in
theatrical essentials of make-up,
costuming, dramatic criticism
and play direction.
