By DON PETERSON Welcome to our city, Softballers, each and everyone of you! Make yourself at home and if there is any thing you need or want just let us know what it is and we’ll do every thing in our power to help you get it. We want you to come. We want you to enjoy yourself while here. We want you to feel that you are welcome when you get here and that you would like to come again when you leave. If you have enjoyed your visit in out city then we will be happy. Call us by our first names and we’ll do the same! • « • Committees working on the tourna ments arrangements have been going at it from morning till night, and some ’way into the night to get every detail ready for our guests due to begin arriving Friday evening from Nyssa in the eastern part of the state. Work has progressed rapidly on the ball field in excellent shape with all hands doing a fine job. The field is ready, for the expected large turn outs that will be interested in follow ing their favorite teams through the tournament schedule. Trophies have arrived and are on display in the Mill City State batik window for all to admire. They are beautiful trophies and will certainly be something worth fighting for. If anyone has rooms available for a few nights you are urged to get in touch with Dave Reid immediately so that all our guests can be properly housed. Dave believes he will be able to house everyone, but a few extra rooms may come in handy, so let's look around and see if you don’t have a room you could make available. Charles Kelly has been contacting the restaurants and making arrange ments to take care of the problem of feeding the visitors for their stay. Plan.- are ready for feeding the players and their ladies and any others who may wish to join them in the park at a bean pot feed on Sunday after noon at 5:30 p.m. by the Lions club and their committee. Ball players and their ladies are to be guests of the club, others may pay a small fee for the feed in the park. Monday morning a tour of the De troit Dam and the Fish Hatchery is planned for the ball players and their ladies, and Monday afternoon the ball players will be guests of the Mill City Theatre to see the baseball pic ture, "The Pride of St. Louis.” * * • Councilman Lee Knuwless reports that N. W. Haner was in the city today inspecting the paving operations and found the contractor doing an ex cellent job. The paving on Second street will be in use for the tourna ment according to present plans. Knowles is planning on a public meeting for the week of August 25th to discuss the city-wide paving and drainage plans. We will announce a time and place for the meeting next week, and it is hoped that a large turnout will be present for this meet ing. Warning Issued For Care of "Dog Bite" Recently several instances of dog bites have occurred in which the parties involved requested an exami nation of a dead dog for rabies. The dogs involved had been killed imme diately after the biting. “It is im possible to examine a dog's brain for rabies after it has been shot through the head,” explains Dr. J. W. Guepe, M,D., and Linn county health officer. A dog bite should be thoroughly washed and should receive prompt medical attention. The administra tion of rabies vaccine can usually be postponed until a laboratory examina tion is made. The dog responsible should be se curely restrained for 14 days. If the dog does not become ill or die during this period, it did not have rabies. If the dog becomes ill or dies, it should be taken to a veterinarian who should take the proper steps of the examina tion of the brain. The head must be removed intact, packed in ice in a metal container and sent to the State Hygienic laboratory. Only two cases of rabies have been reported in Oregon since 1945. One occurred in Multnomah county in 1950 and one in Klamath county in 1946.
