VACCINATION OF
DUGS AGAINST RABIES
The records of the State Board of
Health for show that rabies is
present jn every Georgia county.
This mean that every dog runs a con¬
stant risk ----- of becoming infected.
Every infected dog is a probable
means of further spreading of the dis
ease, not only among other dogs, but
to all anlmalH and to man.
It it. were possible to keep all dogs
muzzled or confined, rabies would de¬
crease and perhaps entirely disappear,
Buch measures have been enforced by
law In England, Holland and Australia
so successfully that these countries
are entirely free ‘ of rabies. Many
attempts have been made in America

a ntirabic
treatment has been recognized for
many years, both for man and ani¬
mals. It has long been known that,
If all dogs could be given Pasteur
treatment once a year, rabies would
be stamped out. Unfortunately, this
treatment is too expensive and trou¬
blesome, and hence this plan of rabies
control has never been attempted.
About three years ago an antirablc
vacc(ne wati ,i ev j se( j ))y j a p an( , ge
W htc.h promises to solve the problem
0 f controlling rabies. This consists
of a single injection of vaccine which
can be administer'd to the dog by
hypodermic ln a few minutes time,
produces no ill effects and. It
Is claimed, affords Immunity
against rabies for one year
The Japanese experimented with the
vaccine on a large scale, vaccinating
over 60,000 dogs, with the result that
rabies has almost disappeared In those
sections where the majority of dogs
have been vaccinated. In the unvac
clnated areas the disease continues
to remain as prevalent as before.
Antirablc vaccine for dogs Is now
being used in America to a limited
sxtent. Wo Americans are sceptical
of new things, and we must be shown
before we believe all that we hear
and much that we see. As far as
American investigators have been
able to determine by experience, the
one injection antirablc vaccine Is of
treat value In protecting animals, pro¬
vided it is given before the animal j
Is bitten or exposed. However, Its j
action Is slow, about four to six weeks j
being required after vaccination be- j
fore the animal Is sufficiently immune ;
to resist the effect a of a severe bite. j
Furthermore, we have learned that i
the one injection method is of 1
no
value in protecting animals after they
have been bitten. A long course of
treatment must be used in such cases
and sometimes treatment fails even
under the most Ideal conditions, As a
rule. It is not worth while to attempt
to pave dogs which have been severe*
ly bitten by a ruhid dog. The trouble
■ind expense of treating and keeping
Ihe exposed animal in confinement for
Ihree months Is not justified, except
for very valuable animals.
I The one Injection antirablc vaccine
for dogs is being manufactured and
sold by a number of biological supply
houses. It Is not expensive and eau

reputable veterinarian. Certain towus \
and cities are enacting ordinances re- ■
quiring compulsory vaccination of all
dogs. Special collar tags are supplied '
for vaccinated dogs and records of !
alt vaccinations are kept. Every dog *
owner under this plan ig given a
limited time to have his dogs vacei- |
uated. After this time the police are
instructed to take into custody all
dogs not wearing the proper vacci- !
nation tag. These are kept impoun- \
tied for a few days and if not called !
for are killed. The delinquent owner I
In such cases, If found, is usually as¬ •
sessed a fee or fine and liis dogs re¬
leased. provided they are vaccinated.
Columbus, Albany. Valdosta and a few
other Georgia cities are trying out i
this plan of rabies control, but it is
too soon to estimate results.
The State Hoard of Health Is pri¬
marily interested in any project or •
plan which may increase the safety
of the public against rabies. We are,
therefore, watching with great inter¬
est the results of the new antirablc
vaccine for dogs, with the hope that
in cities and towns where it is being
xpplied it may come up to our expec¬
tations as a practical and simple so
lution of controlling rabies. It should
be emphasized, however, that this vac¬
cine cannot be substituted for anti
eabic treatment. Any attempt to do
so may result in an outbreak of rabies
in the community, in that it gives a
feeling of false security—the owner
allows the dog to run loose, the vac¬
cine fails to protect and a number of
dogs are bitten by the rabid animal.

• Much has been said during recent years about cooperation between carrier and

“Cooperation” is more than a catch-word It has become an actua 1 fact in marking re¬
* and
lations between the railroads their patrons. ■«
•
J It is both interesting and •■nportani for the public to understand the means by
which this satisfactory situation has been brought about. It did not just happen, hut is

[ carrying of
■ It may fairly be said that railway management has displayed an increasing recog¬
> nition of its obligation to render service that is efficient, to supply that service at rea¬
sonable rates and to take the people into its confidence by furnishing accurate infor¬
mation about transportation affairs. The public, with a better knowledge of railroad
matters, has come to realize that transportation is not something apart, but something
• intimately connected with the prosperity of each individual and of the country as a
whole. Understanding that as the railroads prosperthey prosper,the people are no long
I •er regarding the roads with hostility and distrust, but are according transportation the
\ same square deal and fair treatment that is given other industries
’ principle is
An interesting illustration of the operation of the of cooperation
\ found in the Shippers Regional Advisory Boards. There are eight of these in different
• sections of the country. That for the Southeast is in session today in Savannah, Georgia.
The purpose of these Boards is stated as follows:
“To form a common meeting ground between Shippers and Railroads
> for the better understanding of transportation questions, to adjust in¬
formally car difficulties which may arise between carrier and shipper
and to give the shipping pid -u* a direct voice in the activities of the Car
■ Service Division on all matters of mutual concern.”
To carry out this purpose, representatives of shipper and carrier meet, at regular
intervals, around the conference table on a basis of mutual confidence and good will.
They hear reports, discuss problems and make plans for handling business. Attend¬
ance is voluntary, the proceedings are informal, but largely as a result of the informa¬
tion presented and the contact established it has been possible for the railroads to
handle a record-breaking volume of traffic without car shortages, delay or interrup¬
tion to business.
There is no question that business suffers when transportation is slow, uncertain
or inadequate. Shippers who have wisely furthered the purpose of the Regional Ad¬
visory Boards bear witness to the saving in interest charges, the speeding-up of busi
ness, and the benefits to individual enterprises and to industry in general because of • ■
more dependable transportation. - >
Indication of the necessity for the best efforts of all connected with transportation
is found in the fact that in 1890 the railroads rendered a service of 1,836 ton miles per
capita, while in 1923 this had increase^ tu 4,160 ton miles; or, putting it another way.
v -hile population increased 70 per cent the demand for transportation increased 231
per cent.
It is reasonable to assume that the demands upon the railroads will continue to ■«
increase. It is a fair question to ask wh .' he carriers are doing to meet this demand

The Central of Georgia Railway appreciates the assistance of such agencies as

a\ ail itself of helpful ideas advanced by the traveling and shipping public. •»
