If the past is any guide, chances are you'd spend the loot wisely 6 not at all. Up-dating the doings of the brainy bankbusters, we find that Charles Van Doren, who left "Twenty One" with $129,000, now has a wife, a more sumptu ous apartment in Manhattan, a $Sfl,000-a-year contract with NBC as a consultant on educa tional programming, and is writ ing a book. He still teaches lit erature at Columbia, where his salary was raised $100 to $4,500. The first winner on $64,000 "Question," New York patrol man Redmond O'Hanlon, a Shakespeare expert, used part of his $16,000 to enlarge his home and buy a station wagon-. He retires from the force in eight years and then plans to become a college professor. Since winning in June, JL955, O'Hanlon has in his spare time delivered lectures and written a book on The Bard. O Showgirl Barbara Hall, an other Shakespearean authority, banked her $64,000 winnings. She is now rehearsing for her first part in a "legit" Broadway production. Marine Capt. Kichard Mc Cutchen, a cooking expert and the first top winner on $64,000 Question," resigned from the Marines last August to join an Ohio tool manufacturing firm. He bought a home at Galion, Ohio, and set up a fund for his children. Gino Prato, the opera-loving New York shoemaker who won $32,000 on "Question," financed his daughter's wedding and a family visit to Italy. He returned to a $10.000-a-year job as "good will ambassador" for a manu facturer of heels. Gino employs another shoemaker to run his LIBRARY VISITOR Hartford, Conn. 0?) Police Sgt. William Bennett had a jit tery moment when some one re ported that a small animal tried to enter Hartford Public Li brary. He remembered a dis astrous encounter with a skunk nine years ago under similar circumsatnees. This time he found a raccoon.

The biggest TV money win ner to date, 11-year-old Robert Strom, had his $224,000 placed in a trust fund that should take The Medical Roundup Persons Who Must Fear Rabies In my columns I cannot say too often that when there is any question in a person's mind whether he or his child has had the skin even scratched by an animal which might perhaps have been rabid, every effort should be JJ made to Keep Alvarez the animal in sight until it can be caught and either observed for a few days or else autopsied. On observing the animal, one can soon tell if it is rabid, and by examining the brain, an expert can find the typical Negri bodies. In that case, the person will know that he is in danger. For lack of definite knowledge many per sons are left in a terrible quan dary, and often to get peace of mind they have to go through the discomforts and dangers of taking a Pasteur treatment. For tunately, today, there Is the much milder new vaccine. That is what I think I would take if I were to be bitten by a possibly rabid animal. A while ago very rigid tests showed that this vac cine, can save life. Animal Experimentation I just read a remarkable art icle by Dorothy van den Honert, who has been an animal-trainer all her life. She is objecting to the row the antivivisectionists have been stirring up in Mas sachusetts over the sensible law that allows a pound to sell un claimed dogs to research labora tories at Harvard University and other great research institutions in the state. The antivivisection ists, as usual, have been throw ing up several smoke-screens. One is that most of the work done in laboratories is done on dogs. This is not true; hundreds or thousands of mice are used to one dog. Dogs are needed for only certain experiments, or for devising or perfecting new opera tions. Another smoke-screen is that the laboratories are constantly stealing children's pet dogs. This also is not true. For 40 years, directors of laboratories have laneim M Dr TRIANGLE BEEF and SHEEP CUBES From Triangle's complete line of you can have exactly the kind of program you need for Winter feeding.

He plans a 'round-the-world trip aboard the yacht. Emeritus Consultant In Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation been much opposed to buying an animal from anyone but a pound-master. Only a fool would want to buy a dog that might turn out to be someone's pet. Why? Because this could bring down on his head much wrath and much unfavorable publicity. Still another smoke-screen is that the antivivsectionists are concerned about cruelty to an imals. This, I have had good reason always to doubt, and Miss van den Honert feels as I do. She brings up a point that most people miss, namely, that an enormous amount of cruelty to animals is done by animal own ers. Dogs Allowed To Roam I know that a hundred times, as I have watched a small child mauling a kitten or a puppy, it has occurred to me that never in my 17 years in laboratories did I see an animal being treat ed so unkindly. Miss van der Honert points out that most people let their dogs roam at will where they can get into all sorts of trouble. They can be run over by an automo bile and left in agony on the roadside. They can raid garbage cans where they can get chicken or fish bones stuck in their throat. Many persons leave town without arranging for good care of their dog. As Miss van den Honert says, people every day submit their animals to these great hazards without giving the matter a thought, and then they get all stirred-up over the idea that their dog might some day be operated on under ether in a laboratory, where his sacrifice might lead to the saving of countless lives. Miss van den Honert says, "Owner careless ness causes more canine suffer ing than all the experimental laboratories in the world, and ac complishes nothing." I know that on a few occasions I have fed and taken care of a poor, half-starved collie that ap peared at my back door. I imag ine the people who owned him had treated him so shabbily that he had left them. My daughter, Gladys who, like me, is a great lover of cats many a time has kept feeding a cat that was left behind by some family when they moved.
