MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Members of Family Are Most Fervent Straub Supporters WEDNESDAY. MAY IS, 1962 (Editor's note: Thi is the second of two articlei (bout the family activities in a campaign. Tha articlai war lubmiited by invite tion from tha Mail Tribuna ior candidate! leeking the fourth congrenionaU dis trict nomination. No arti clai were received from Charles O. Porter or Pat rick M. Flynn.) By ROBERT W. STRAUB Any candidate for public office who has the support of a large and loyal family is a lucky man. My earliest and most fervent supporters are my wife and children. My wife, Pat, in addition to putting up with the irregular schedule which any candi date's wife must face, has gone with me on many cam paign trips throughout the fourth district. Recently there was a meet ing in Albany which I was unable to attend because of a conflict. At my request, Pat went to represent me. I told her she didn't need to make a speech since she has never been an enthusiastic public speaker but she said that she would be willing to hand out literature and meet friends there. Speaks on Hit Behalf During the evening how ever when' she saw other can didates and their representa tives speaking she also rose and spoke on my behalf. When she came home I was already asleep. She had liked her speech so well that she woke me up and made me lis ten to it over again. Three days later I was again in Linn county and a group of those who had heard Pat suggested that I stay at home more often and let her speak for me. I have decided not to let her represent me at meetings any more! My six youngsters ranging In age from 7-year-old Bill to Jeff who is 17 have been of invaluable . help in handing out bumper strips and litera ture at supermarkets. This help was their own ideas. Re cently I overheard the speech my son Bill was making to people on a supermarket lot. Although he had been care fully coached to give people a folder and tell them that his father was running for Congress, what he actually said was, "Hullo, do you !Mtm 5) -xzjsteBm-maBB .

Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Reajiitei and Tribune Syndicate 1962) 'Dog Days' are Coming, But Mad Dogs Definitely Aren't With the advent of summer and its attendant heat, you are sure to hear the old remark, "Watchout for this summer heat; the dog days will start." This is supposed to mean ir ritated dogs can "go mad" be cause they become over heated. According to the old formu la, "dog days" are supposed to extend over a six or eight week period through July and August. Perhaps the ancient Romans are basically at fault for this silly belief that dogs are es pecially dangerous at this time. They knew a star in the heavens called Sirius, the Dog Star, which during July and August is the brightest star in the night sky. It can even be seen at times in broad daylight during the summer months. Hoi Summer Of course, the summer was hot; therefore they called the interval "dog days" after the star. Someone may have no ticed a mad dog and there's the beginning of the belief. We know now, or should by want to buy a folder for Bob Straub for Senator?" He re turned from his campaigning with a nickel a kind-hearted citizen had given him for a folder! Are Doing Much My children also have the bumper stripes on , their bi cycles and feel they are doing much to advertise my cam paign throughout the neigh borhood. In addition to my own fam ily we have staying with us 14-year-old Catalina Spencer from Guaymas, Mexico. We met her parents last winter while we were all on a vaca tion in Mexico. Catalina is a member of the family while she is going to school this year. She has also joined in the family political activity and is getting an education in the ways of United States politics, but she gets furious when people refuse to let her put bumper strips on their cars and stamps her foot at them. Others on Farm In addition to the children and Pat our farm boasts tur keys, cattle and a burro. No matter how tired a man is after a day of hard campaign ing he can't help laughing when he is greeted by the bray of a burro upon his re turn home. The chief way, however, in which my family helps me is by never-failing encourage ment and trust that my deci sions are the right ones. I would never have undertaken the enormous task of running for Congress if Pat and the children had not encouraged and urged me to do so. In our family campaigning is a family affair. This kind of support is necessary if a man is to keep his perspective throughout days of making speeches meeting people and solving the manifold problems which confront any candidate for public office. I am gratified for the knowledge that all of us will face success or failure to gether. Such burdens would be almost too great for one man to face alone.

It can be present in hot weather or in cold weather. Any warm blooded animal can be infect ed, even man himself. For some mysterious reason the virus develops in the body of a rabbit within a few days; therefore, science occasionally uses these little animals to supply a rabies serum that can be injected into the vic tim. This has a tendency to stop the spread or growth of the virus. For obvious reasons, a person bitten by any kind of animal should immediately consult a doctor. The animal should also be examined. Rabies is no respecter of sta tion or subjects. Unfortunately, many valu able dogs and countless other animals have been needlessly killed merely because some one suspected they were rab id. Just because tha dog may be frothing at the mouth, once thought to be a sure sign the dog was "mad," is not con clusive proof the animal is rabid. A dog may froth at the REDS ARREST TWO Berlin - (I'PD - Communist police arrested two men at tempting to flee to West Ber lin near the Brandenburg TO LEAVTA Pfc.
