THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL. NY8SA. OREGON Supreme Court Decision Nets Large Sum for Milk Producers ADRIAN CONGREGATION TO HEAR C OF I PROFESSOR Dr. Sarazins Story... This Is a continuation of a »lory entitled "Th* Hol* of the Horse In th* Practice of Medicine.'' written by Ny**a‘a Pioneer Dr. J. J. Sarasin and published in leaf weak'* laaue of the Journal. Another story about Al Long and the mules which “Uncle Hub” told me went like this: Ona day he saw Al trying to hook up the tub behind a mule, and the mule kept kicking him, but Al kept on woiking silently. ••Uncle Hub” said, "Didn’t that mule hurt you when he kicked you so much?” Al said, "He sure did, but I kept quiet as 1 didn’t want him to have the satisfaction ul knowing he did”. in conclusion I would like to tell about “Old Jack”. When 1 first knew him he was a drunk en saloon bum, always under the influence of liquor. He wore rags and sometimes had gunny sacks or canvas tied with rope around his feet. He slept In a dug-out near the railroad track and swamped (swept out) the saloons for enough drinks to keep him soused and some free lunch tliat was served in the saloons with drinks. One night, while making a call, I came across “OldJack” on the railroad track. He was delirious and very ill with pneumonia. I took him back to the saloon and asked if they could find a room for him so that 1 could take care of him. 1 got help from the saloon but I felt it was a hopless case. However, he got well, I told him if he'd quit drink ing 1 would see that he had plenty of comfortable clothes, decent quarters to live in and good food. He promised me he would stop. The saloon keepers bought him shoes and clothes. Mr. Boydell, the merchant,- gave him a g<xxl warm over coat, I fixed a room for him with plenty of warm bedding, made arrangements for his food and he look care of my horses. He never told me much about his past except that he’d had a gixxj education in New York schools. He wrote very well, was fond of reading and read my books and magazines. He loved and understood horses and showed me how to train them. He told me he had been a drunk- ard for over thirty years and had lost track of what tiad hap pened for over ten years. He was very neat and tidy and could clean windows and rooms better than anyone 1 ever knew. He was soon in demand by the stores and pri vate residences and received enough pay to take care of his needs. He kept his promise never to drink and I got him larger quarters with a heating and cooking stove where he would prepare lunch. He became a respected citizen and one day I was shocked and saddened to find him, silling lifeless in a chair with his newspaper. He had accumulated a bank account, government bonds, all the furniture and clothing he needed and had no debts. I contacted the coroner, told him the story and with the court’s permission used his funds to THURSDAY. APRIL B.

Rabies Danger Cited by Vets Of Agriculture Department la a 90 -day quarantine nec essary on an area where a rabid animal ia found? Yea, say veterinarians of the Oregon Department of Agricul ture, who remind that rablea in a virus-caused fatal enceph alitis-type disease to which most all mammals, including man, are susceptible. It may appear from two weeks to many months after exposure to a rabid animal bite, but 90 days has been deter mined a safe and reasonable period for a quarantine. The seriousness of the dis ease was emphasized with the quarantining of Hayden Island, in the Portland area, March 16, after a rabid dog was found there. George Coburn, staff veter inarian for the de(>artment, re minds that wild life Is always a known reservoir for rabies and a rabid dog, when in the excited state, will attack any thing moving. This can mean it wlU transmit the virus not only to other dogs and to cats but to wild animals it might be around , leaving them to transmit the disease later. The virus-causing rabies is present in the saliva of Infected animals. It is transmitted most commonly from thebltes of dogs, cats, skunks, raccoon, wolves, and vampire and/or blood-sucking bats. Swine, cattle, sheep and horses are also susceptible to the disease. Rabid swine will attack al most anything, including their own pigs, when they are ex cited, but Dr. Coburn says the disease seldom spreads further when cattle, sheep, or horses, have it. Animals may have either the dumb type, where they nuzzle and rub humans, turning to them for help, or the excited type with which they will charge anything mov- Ing. At a certain stage of [«raly- sis, one of the symptoms of the disease and the cause of death, cattle may appear to have an object in the throat. Coburn advises that the owner consult a veterinarian, if this happens instead of trying to determine himself whether there is something to be re moved. There are no known cures or survivors after clinical manifestation of rabies has ap peared, hence control measues are important. Recommended control mea sures, in addition to quaran tines, are a systematic vac cination of all dogs, elimina tion of stray dogs, and eradl- cation of wild animals which act as carriers of the disease, especially fox, skunks and coy otes. And for the humans attacked by a rabid animal, or having an open wound that the saliva of the animal may have gotten into, there are anti-rabies in jections. Rabies vaccine Is available for all classes of livestock and in event of an outbreak, animals not regularly given the preven tive treatment can be given the vaccine, f or some animals routine use of the vaccine annu ally would prove expensive, but Dr. Coburn points out that It Is often used where valuable purebred breeding animals are maintained. Rabies, while well controlled in Oregon, according to the U.S. Department of A g r 1 c ul t ur e costs this country about $10 million annually and is on the Increase, Each year large numbers of animals tn South and Central America die from rabies as a result of bites from infected bats.
