Georgia Gets
First Woman
Wildlife Ranger
The first woman in
Georgia’s conservation ran
ger cadet program in the
state’s Game and Fish
Division of the Department
of Natural Resources is
26-years-old Elysia Greenlee
of Marietta.
A former school teacher in
Georgia’s Clarke County,
Ms. Greenlee entered “Oper
ation Catch-Up” last year at
the University of Georgia
where she was working on
her master’s degree. “Oper
ation Catch-Up,” funded by
the Law Enforcement Assist
ance Administration, is de
signed to bring women and
members of minorities into
law enforcement.
“The work interested me
and I thought the 600-hour
course might help me get a
job,” said the young woman
cadet. “I was working on my
masters in education. But
that field is sort of full. The
deeper I got into the law
enforcement course, the
more it appealed to me and I
decided to try to make law
enforcement my career.”
She says she’s stimulated
by the challenge of her job in
the Law Enforcement Sec
tion of Game and Fish. “I’m

There is much discussion
about the effects of soap and
water on the skin. The effect
that soap and water has on
most skin is to cleanse it! It’s
true that escessive use of
soap may cause some
dryness, but nature usually
takes care of this through the
secretion of oil to soften the
skin. However, if dryness
persists, there are any
number of good skin soft
eners which will do the job.
There is absolutely no
evidence which shows that
excessive use of soap will
cause wrinkling of the skin,
as claimed by some. Wrink
ling is actually the process of
aging—brought on by grow
ing old.

overwhelmed by how much I
have to learn to become a
competent conservation ran
ger. During the time I’m a
cadet, I know that Game and
Fish officers are watching
me to see if I can cut the
mustard. And I’m testing
myself, to find out if I’ve got
what it take to be a Game and
Fish law enforcement offi
cer.”
So far, the ranger trainee
has been earning high marks
as a cadet. “She seems well
qualified and her cadet work
is entirely satisfactory,” said
Col. R.K. Fansler, Chief of
Game and Fish’s Law
Enforcement Section. “I’m
pleased that we’ve been able
to attract young women
applicants with background
and training such as Cadet
Greenlee’s.”
Cadet Greenlee has been
assigned to Lake Allatoona.
If you’re doing something
wrong or unsafe on the lake
and an attractive blonde,
trim and in a green uniform
flags you down....stop and
pay attention. She’s the law.
Some people believe that
dropping a bunch of keys
is unlucky.

RABIES VACCINATIONS
WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOUR
DOG IS ALSO GOOD FOR
YOUR SKUNK
Many pet owners feel
rabies vaccinations are only
necessary for domestic ani
mals such as the dog and cat.
They believe that exotic pets
like skunks or tropical cats
will spend most of their lives
indoors and are safe from
exposure to infected animals.
But this is not the case.
Rabies is a disease capable
of infecting any warm-blood
ed animal, and almost all
warm-blooded pets should be
vaccinated to prevent the
disease.
The term “exotic pet” is
not limited to animals
imported from abroad. A
number of native American
animals, including the skunk,
racoon and fox are included
in this category because they
have not been domesticated
through long association with
man and are never really
quite at home in captivity.
Most exotic pets are caught
in the wild, and their history
of possible exposure to rabies
is unknown. Even certified

capture at a very early age is
no safeguard since animals
as young as six weeks of age
have been known to contract
the disease. Baby skunks
may be exposed to the
disease by contact with the
mother. Some owners feel
reassured by a short quaran
tine period, but they do not
realize that rabies has a very
uncertain and sometimes
lengthy incubation period.
Studies have shown that
the rabies virus may take
from 15 to 285 days before it
reaches the brain and causes
recognizable symptoms. A
bite on a pet’s back leg from
a rabid animal will bring the
virus into the body, but at a
great distance from the
brain. Therefore, develop
ment of rabies from such a
bite will take a much longer
incubation period than a bite
on the jaw or ear.
Because of the health risks
involved and the sometimes
unpredictable behavior of
exotic animals, I personally
and professionally would not
recommend keeping any
type of exotic pet. However,
if you are determined to keep
an ocelot, skunk or other
unusual pet, you should
attempt to have it vaccinated
against rabies.
Vaccination of exotic pets
is done with caution since
they do not always respond
uniformly to vaccines design
ed for use on domesticated
animals. Only inactivated
forms of rabies vaccine
should be used, with the
dosage adjusted for body
weight. Animals may be
vaccinated as young as 3 to 4
months, and the vaccination
must be repeated annually.
Early symptoms are not
the classic foaming of the
mouth, but rather a tendency
to eat strange “foods,”
apparently because of
hunger and a dimming of the
sense of taste. Cats may also
develop a type of paralysis of
the throat and lose their
normal voice, crying in a
rather subdued, hoarse tone.
Complete character rever
sals are also common. Pets
that are normally quiet and
timid, may spring out to bite
and scratch family members
as well as strangers.
Any animal, including the
domestic cat, that has a
curious nature and a tend
ency to stalk and hunt other
animals should not be
allowed outdoors unless it
has a current rabies vaccina
tion. The vaccination will
safeguard the pet should it
encounter a rabid animal and
get bitten in the process.
Should your pet, any
warm-blooded pet, become
seriously ill for some
unexplained reason, you
should contact your veteri
narian. both for your pet’s
sake and your own. Rabies
may be involved.
You're on Your way...

What price energy? Anew law requires the manufacturer to tell how much
electricity each appliance consumes. If enough people become energy con
scious in buying appliances, says the Federal Energy Administration, the na
tion’s savings could increase in a decade to the equivalent of 350,000 barrels of
oil a day. Which appliances use the most electricity? Based on average U.S.
residential rates, here’s what a typical family of five pays annually: hot water
heater, $127; frostless 14-cubic-foot refrigerator, $55; frostless freezer, $53;
range with oven, $36; clothes dryer, S3O; color TV (tube type), S2O; electric
