1,723 IV Voters Register
By FRANK STRICKLAND
Cave Junction According to
official tabulation the seven vot
ing precincts in this valley reg
istered 271 more Democrats than
Republicans. The results show a
total of 997 Democrats as against
726 Republicans for a grand
total of 1,723 registering in the
two major political parties. The
information was released by
Josephine county clerk Ben Cou
tant. Josephine county itself
stands about 50-50 on party reg
istrations. Oregon as a whole
registered 37,000 more Demo
crats than Republicans this year.
For the past week we, in this
section of the state, have been
reading about frost, cold air
masses, low pressure areas, snow
and freezing weather all around
us bu haven't as yet experi
enced any such weather condi
tions. Six inches of snow fell
Tuesday at Oregon Caves, less
than 20 miles east of here, and
some of the mountains which
ring this valley are snowcapped.
Of course we expect cold weath
er, but if it turns out like that
of last winter we're not overly
concerned about it. Two or three
warm snows fell here last sea
son, and shallow lakes mushed
over, but only once did the ice
on the lakes become strong
enough to support the weight
of a medium-sized dog.
Our landscape at the foot of
Cave Junction's Main street, was
changed almost overnight this
week when a grove of huge trees
were felled and heavy earth
moving equipment began cutting
a road bed to the right abut
ment of the new Illinois river
bridge. The new alignment elim
inates two grades and a number
of curves on Highway 199 in
this vicinity.
The Central cafe on Main st.
in Cave Junction is under new
management. Mrs. Mary Wal
lace, longtime cook and restau
rant operator, has purchased
the equipment from Howard and
Grace Davis, former operators.
and signed a lease on the build
ing. The cafe will retain the
name "Central." Among Mrs,
Wallace's first customers were
Senator and Mrs. Richard L.
Neuberger, who complimented
her food and service. Here for
the opening of the cafe was Mrs.
Wallace's son, warrant officer
Delbert Campbell, . U.S.A.F. on
30-day furlough from Formosa
Campbell, who has been two
years in Nationalist China and
10'i years in the service, is a

bell will leave soon for a new
assignment at Shaw Field, S.C.

One reading "headquarters for

to political candidates. Bringing
up the rear of the parade of
placards is one which sadly re

be applied to politics and our
past political mistakes.

Yes, there is only one sure way to guarantee dental protection for Medford youngsters and that's time-trted
Fluoridation! If Medford voters will follow the procedure of other progressive communities by approving
Fluoridation, future generations as well as present young folks will enjoy a healthy future by avoiding chronie
illness and disability due to dental infection. Just one dental repair bill equals years of protection for a whole

The Prevention of Rabies
Many persons must have read
some weeks ago of the plight of
the little girl who was bitten by
a dog, which
later disap
peared and
could not be
found. It is a
tragedy when
a dog that has
bitten someone
is allowed to
get away. The
question i s ,
was it mad or
was it not? The doctors cannot
just wait to see if the person
comes down with rabies because
when the disease appears, it is
fatal. Some may ask, "But why
not just give the Pasteur treat
ment?" Because this it not pleas
ant to take, and there are cases
in which it does' harm. In this
particular case, the little girl
proved to be so allergic to the
vaccine injected, that it could
hardly be used. Fortunately, dur
ing the past year another effec
tive type of treatment has been
found.
I hope now that the millions
of people who read about that
little girl will remember that

when anyone is bitten by a stray
dog, some bystander should try
to follow the animal and keep it
in sight until a dog-catcher can
be called to come and get it Then
it can be watched for a few days
to see if it is mad, or can be
killed and a part of its brain can
be examined for the Negri bod
ies which are so diagnostic of
rabies.
May Be Orerly Irritable
In a recent article, Drs. Mor
ris W. Rosenthal, and C. W. Dae
schner Jr. wrote that some 80
per cent of rabid dogs have what
is called furious rabies, recogniz
able by a change in the animal's
disposition. The animal may be
come overly irritable and hos
tile, or he may refuse food, or
he may hide under the bed, or
for a while he may be overly af
fectionate. Later, he will become
restless and agitated and finally
maniacal. Then he will snap at
anyone who comes near. Usually
the animal dies within 7 or 10
days after the onset of the ill
ness. If a person is bitten by a mad
animal and is not treated, he is
likely to get hydrophobia (rabies)
in about 30 days, if the bite was
on the head and face, and in
is

about 2 months if the bite was on
a leg. The length of the interval
depends partly on the amount of
virus that was deposited in tha
wound. Deep or extensive lacera
tjons, and bites on the head and
face are the most dangerous ones.
It is sad that because of the
strong opposition of those mil
lions of persons who fight all
health measures and all measures
that have to do with animals, in
this country we have not wiped
out rabies as was done in Great
Britain. If every dog in thia
country were to be vaccinated
against rabies, and then if every
dog being brought in from a for
eign land were to be quarantin
ed, we would soon have but lit
tle trouble from rabies. That lit
tle would come from wild ani
mals, such as skunks, coyotes
and foxes.
