Scouts Help
In Clean
Up Campaign
By Lee Duffey
If by any chance you were on
the square in Jackson last
Saturday morning at 7:30 you
may have seen seven young
people, Todd Foster, Cedric
Evans, Lee Duffey, Andy Long,
Charley Long, Patrick Powell
and Jerry Long, with trash
bags in hand picking up trash.
This enthusiastic group were
members of Boy Scout Troop 80
of Jackson carrying out project
S.O.A.R. which stands for Save
Our American Resources.
Saturday, April 28th, was
known nationally as Keep
America Beautiful Day.
The Scouts spent two hours
picking up trash and, among
other things, an old bubble gum
machine. They cleaned up the
square, the hospital area and
Westbury Nursing Home area.
The Scouts would like to thank
the Tastee Freeze which gave
each boy a hamburger and
Coke upon completion of the
clean-up.
In a recent meeting cere
monies were held for the
Scouts who have passed steps
for certain badges and ranks.
Those receiving badges were:
Richard Brooks, Architecture;
Jarrus Jones, Citizenship in the
Community; Andy Long, Re
creation; Bobby Pinckney,
Camping; Andy Long, the rank
of First Class.
We would like to con
gratulate each Scout who
earned these awards.

RABIES CLINIC
(Continued from Page 1)
Dr. Mitchell said that all pets
should receive the anti-rabies
vaccine within two weeks after
weaning. This, and keeping
pets enclosed within the yard
or pen, and on leash when
outside of own yard will help
prevent your pet from being
bitten and contracting the
deadly disease.
All warm-blooded animals
are susceptible to the rabies
virus, and if a pet, it should be
vaccinated. Wild animals
should not be petted or handled
due to this rabies danger.
Rabies, or hydrophobia, is an
acute infectious disease, medi
cal research has revealed,
caused by a filterable virus.
According to Webster’s New
World Dictionary, hydrophobia
is an abnormal fear of water.
“Hydro” -a combining form
meaning water. “Phobia” -a
persistent fear of some thing or
situation. One of the symptoms
of rabies is the irrational fear
of drinking. Even one sip of
water can bring on painful
spasms of the throat.
“Virus” -- defined as “any of
a group of very small infective
agents that cause various
diseases. The virus is carried
in the mouth of the animal and
is transmitted by biting. When
the rabid saliva enters the body
of another animal or human
being, by bite or by handling
the saliva, it affects the
nervous system of the body,
including the spinal cord and
brain.
Rabies not only occurs in
dogs and cats, but also in
horses, cattle, wolves, foxes,
bats, raccoons, skunks, squir
rels, coyotes, and even
monkeys. We refer to dogs
because they are most preva
lently near human beings and
thus transmit more bites.
What is not familiarly
known, cuts and open sores can
be entered by the saliva of a
rabid animal. When a visible
wound is suspected to be that of
an animal bite, the anit-rabies
treatment should be con
sidered. So should they when
the person has been known to
have handled a suspected
rabies infected animal.
An animal bite wound should
be washed immediately in a
strong soap solution, even to
using a blunt-tipped syringe or
swab-stick. Suture of the
wound must not be immedi
ately carried out.
In his commentary on rabies
vaccine, R. Keith Sikes,
D.V.M., a joint employee of the
Center for Disease Control and
the Georgia Department of
Human Resources, says there
is one type of rabies vaccine
now available in the United
States, namely the duck
embryo (DEV). Until a year
ago, a second type which was
prepared from the brains of
infected, adult rabbits, was
also in use. Since this vaccine
often produced severe reac
tions, Georgia ceased the use of
the nerve tissue vaccine as
soon as the duck embryo
vaccine became available.
Dr. Sikes stated that there is
an anti-rauies serum, but it is
made from the blood serum of
horses repeatedly immunized

against rabies. This equine
hyperimmune serum is used to
provide an immediate, passive
antibody until rabies vaccine
can stimulate production by
the patient of active and longer
lasting antibodies. Passive
antibodies last a short period;
active antibodies last for
years. Duck embryo vaccine is
always given following the use
of hyperimmune serum. Injec
tions are made through the
abdominable wall of the
patient when anti-rabies vac
cine is given.
When a victim has been
bitten, the biting animal should
be confined for at least ten
days and watched for signs of
rabies. If the biting animal is
not recovered, rabies treat
ment must begin.
Symptoms of rabies include
irritable and restless actions in
an animal, followed by throat
paralysis which causes diffi
culty in swallowing, drinking
water, and saliva drools from
the mouth.
An infected animal will
progress to howling unreason
ably, running irratically and
snapping and biting. Complete
paralysis and convulsions are
followed by death.
When a person is bitten by a
rabid animal, onset of the
disease is usually within
twenty to ninety days with
restlessness, a sense of
apprehension and a tingling at
the wound bite. A slight
huskiness of the voice is
followed by a sense of choking
and throat spasms, with
refusal to drink liquids. It is
almost always fatal within two
to ten days.
Remember one negligent pet
owner can be the cause of a
chain reaction of rabies
contagion that can form a link
right back to his own family.
