About Rabies
Rabies is one of dogs’ biggest
enemies. When a dog get rabies,
death is gure to follow. There is
no cure for the disease after symp¬
toms develope. The only answer
to control of ribies is prevention
by vaccination and control or de¬
struction of stray dogs.
We want to protect our dogs.
But, more important, we want to
protect our neighbors and friends
from rabies. Dogs can pass the
disease on to humans by biting.
Children usually play out of doors
and are often victims of rabid an¬
imals. They should be protected
at all cost, and vaccination of
your dog is one sure way of do¬
ing this.
The vaccination of your dog ev¬
ery year is a good investment for
the safety of your dog, your fam¬
ily, and the public. Any warm-

Hicks Speaks On
Grain Harvest
According to R. F. Hicks, chair¬
man of Crawford County PM A
Committee, harvesting of small
grain is only a few weeks away,
farmers still have time to erect
facilities to adequately store wheat
and oats which they expect to
harvest. Only a very little public
warehouse space will be available
this year, and will probably be
united to a few hundred bush
. 8 .
Producers should be urged to
check their storage immediately
and where additional space is
needed, they should again be re¬
minded that under the F'arm Stor¬
age Loan Program, they can bor¬
row from Commodity Credit Cor¬
poration through County PMA
Committee up to 80 per cent of the
ictual out-of-pocket cost of the
”acility erected. This loan is re¬
payable in four equal annual in¬
stalments and bears interest at
our per cent on the unpaid bal¬
ance.

CONGRESS |
WASHINGTON — Baseball wants
an assist from Congress in pre
serving the mi.ior league clubs
that groom players for t,h big
u me.
The threat, according to base- i
ball's top brass, comes mainly from
it<! it and television.
As TV spreads through the
count! y, more r.nd more ;>< onle |
who live in area-> having minor
le."gue teams are staying home to
listen to or watch the big league
games on the screen instead, of
viewing Jocal contests in person at
the park.
This has put such a crimp in
the tills of some minor league
clubs that they hove folded, and
others will suffer a similar fate
if present televising and broad¬
casting of big league games con¬
tinues.
The ultimate result will be less •
quality in big league ball, because i
ihe majors depend on the minors:
to train fresh material.
The only miriois that can con¬
tinue playing to sparsely filled
stands for any length of time are j
the farm teams of the major i
league clubs. But the majors, suf- i
fering from their own attendance
ills this year, cannot see their way
clear to continue subsidizing farm
clubs indefinitely, even with pro¬
ceeds from telecasts and broad¬
casts of the big games.
Thus was the diamond dilemma
outlined by Baseball Commissioner
Ford Frick and others for a Sen¬
ate Interstate Comnftercer subcom¬
mittee, whis is considering legis¬
lation designed to bring baseball
relief from TV and radio pressures.
Lou Carroll, attorney for the
National League, brought the is
ue down to dugout level when he
told the subcommittee that uncon¬
trolled broadcasts and telecasts
are forcing the majors to “cat our
own young.”
The lament of the leagues is no
news to Subcommittee Chairman
Fidwin C. Johnson (l)-Colo,), who
is president of the Western

League.
Matter of fact, Johnson i. the
sponsor of S. 1386, which would
legalize a rule banning broadcasts
an( j teig^stg, without permission
by one baseball club in the home
territory of another. The bill fixes
“home territory” as within a 50
mj ] e ra( jj us _
Arguing the need for this legis¬
lation, George M. Trautman, presi
jent 0 f National Association
of Professional Baseball Leagues
said many leagues and clubs bad
disbanded for jack of income. Of
the 273 left, he said, only 19 show
e d a profit last year,
Trautman said radio sponsors in
minor league cities can get a wire
account of a major leage* game
for less that it would cost to spon
sor the games of the local teams.
Added to the woe of major
league clubs forced to subsidize
their farm teams because the lat
ters’ lack of gate receipts is the
fact that there has been a sharp
over-all drop in paying custom¬
ers at the big league turnstiles.
Attendance is off about 25 per
cent from what it was at this time
last year,
The ban which Johnson’s bill
would legalize previously was im¬
posed by baseball but was remov¬
ed in 1949 at the Justice Depart¬
ment’s request. The Department
feared the rule might violate anti¬
trust. laws.
Warren Giles, National League
president, says the major leagues
ar “helpless” to correct the pres¬
ent effects of TV and radio on
minor leagues because they still
are being subjected to Justice De¬
partment “harassment. it
Senator Johnson says the Jus¬
tice Department’s “over-zealous
anti-trust division” has denied
baseball the right to fight “mo¬
nopoly” in its own ranks.
