Watch Night Service Planned at EUB Church A New Years eve watch night service is scheduled at the Evan­ gelical United Brethren church for Friday evening under sponsorship of the Youth Fellowship of the church. The group plans to assemble at 8 p.m. for an evening of fun and fellowship which will include games and refreshments up to 11 p.m. At that time, they will hold a de­ votional service up to midnight and the seeing in of the new year. While the activity is sponsored by the young people, it is for all ages and everyone is invited to partici­ pate. Location of Office Changes The Portland office of the In­ ternal Revenue Service has both a new address and a new tele­ phone number, according to A. G. Erickson, district director for Ore­ gon. The correct address is now SW Pine street, rather than 830 NE Holladay, and the telephone number is 226-3361. Public contact offices are on the mezzanine floor of the new loca­ tion. The changes were occasioned by the move December 6 of the head­ quarters office from the northeast side of the Willamette river to the Multnomah building (formerly the Multnomah hotel), in the down­ town area. “The move was made without interruption of service to Oregon taxpayers,” Erickson said. “Another change this year,” he said, “ will be a special telephone number in Portland for taxpayers who need help in preparing their federal income tax returns.” The telephone number 222-3801 will be in operation from January 3 until January 15, 1966, inclusive.

Cattle Disease Outbreak Noted A minor outbreak of blackleg, a highly infectious and usually fa­ tal disease of cattle, has resulted in considerable concern among producers in the St. Helens-Yank- ton- W arren area, reports Don Coin Walrod, count extension agent. While losses from this disease are rather uncommon, since most livestock producers follow a regu­ lar vaccination program , un-vacci- nated animals always provide a susceptible population. The blackleg organism is one that develops in the absence of exygen. The organism may gain entrance into the body through small cuts or punctures in the skin. Large cuts and wounds are not usually a means of infection since oxygen is apt to be present, ac­ cording to Walrod, who also indi­ cates th at abrasions of the mu­ cous membranes of the tongue, mouth or throat may allow the en­ trance of the organism. Blackleg is ordinarily a disease of young cattle in that infection occurs between the ages of four and five months up to two years. Only rarely are older animals at fected. The only reliable and effective means known for protecting against blackleg is vaccination. This is actually a preventative measure and may provide immuni­ ty for 12 to 18 months or longer Vaccination for blackleg is a prac­ tice that can be handled by the livestock operator, says Walrod. However, the presence of sick ani­ mals or unusual conditions w ar­ rant consultation with a veterinar­ ian. Vaccination is an inexpensive operation with the actual handling of the cattle the most difficult job. For this reason many livestock owners make a practice of giving a double or triple vaccine. This simply involves the use of a mixed vaccine providing protection against malignant edema or hémorragie septicemia or both at the same time. EMMANUEL EPISCOPAL CHURCH Birkenfeld, Oregon Rev.
