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

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.

this time, that a mad dog is
"mad" because he is infected
with a disease called rabies. 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.
