Warning Given as Mad Fox
Epidemic Spreads to Pierce
The epidemic of rabies in foxes which began some
nonths ago in central Georgia has now spread into Pierce
county. Since mad foxes are already present in the county
many more are expected.
All warm-blooded animals are
susceptable to rabies: foxes, dogs,
cats, squirrels, coons, rats, cattle,
horses, etc. Citizens of the county
can expect to lose cattle and hogs
in the near future due to their
going mad which is always fatal.
Animals with teeth and capable
of biting are the most dangerous
in an epidemic of rabies since
a mad animal will bite anything
that moves or makes a noise. A
person bitten by a mad animal
must take rabies treatment which
consist of anywhere from 14 to
48 rather painful shots depend
ing upon the severity and the
location of the bite. An animal
that has not received rabies shots
and is known to have been bitten
by a mad animal should be des
troyed for it will go mad also.
If bitten by animal then pen up
the animal if possible for observa
tion, then wash the wound
thoroughly with soap and water,
next see your doctor immediately
for treatment of the wound, then
either have your doctor report
the bite or report the bite your
self of your Health Department.
It is important to confine the
animal after a bite, for early in
the disease the animal will not
appear mad, but in a few days he
will show symptoms of the dis
ease. If the animal can not be
penned up then it should be
destroyed but do not injure the
head of the animal for this part
must be examined by the Way
cross laboratory to determine if
the animal was made. Many bit
the animal was mad. Many bit
lessly each year because it was
not confined to determine if it
was diseased.
Early in the disease the labor
atory can not determine if the
animal is mad, whereas in two
or three days the diagnosis could
be definite and possibly save
someone from having to take the
rabies treatment unnecessarily. If
bitten every effort should be
made to identify the bitting ani
mal for if it is not identified and
examined by the rabies control
officer the bitten person must
take the rabies treatment as a
preventive measure.
The citizens of this area should
be extremely careful and watch
their children closely for as the
epidemic grows many animals
will be mad and dangerous. Any
animal that is acting in any way
peculiar to its nature should be
avoided, and destroyed if it has
not bitten someone. A disturb
ance in poultry or barn yard ani
mals could be a mad fox or dog
and therefore approach such
disturbances with care and with
something to protect yourself
against attack. All dogs in the
county should be vaccinated
against rabies immediately’ in
order to prevent an epidemic in
dogs. Free clinics are to be held
soon by the State Health Depart
ment. Check this newspaper for
time and date.
Make Christmas
A Joyous Season
—Not a Tragic One
DETROlT—Christmas is a joy
ous, bustling and exciting season.
And it is just these elements
that too often contribute to tragic
accidents, according to Jeanne
Smith, Dodge safety consultant.
Both motorists and pedestrians
are apt to be so preoccupied with
holiday plans and festivities that
they let their guard down in traf
fic—and that’s when accidents
are most likely to occur, she
warns. Here are Jeanne’s sug
gestions for a safe holiday sea
son:
1. STAY ALERT. Don’t let ex
citement over holiday plans and
preparations divert your atten
tion from careful driving and
cautious walking.
2. SLOW DOWN. Inclement
weather and more hours of dark
ness during the holiday season
make it doubly important to re
duce speed. Don’t over-anxious
to reach that gala party or to
complete your Christmas shop
ping. Last Christmas, excessive
speed was the most frequent
driver violation.
3. BE A CAREFUL PEDES
TRIAN. More than half of the
traffic accidents at Christmas
time involve pedestrians. Don’t
let your enthusiasm over select
ing the right gifts cause you to
forget comon-sense safety rules.
Never carry packages or um
brellas in such away that your
vision is blocked. Most import
ant, cross only at corners and
pedestrian crosswalks. Never dart
into traffic from between parked
cars.

Farmers to Get
Over $7 Million
Under 1957 ACP
Georgia farmers will receive
more than $7 million in Agricul
tural Conservation Program cost
sharing for carrying out soil wa
terconservation practices on their
farms in 1957, according to John
F. Bradley, state administrative
officer of the Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation Com
mittee.
“The funds available under the
ACP are in addition to those of
the Soil Bank programs,” Bradley
pointed out.
The 1957 ACP program for
Georgia—developed by the State
ASC Committee in cooperation
of various other agricultural
agencies in the state—has been
approved in Washington, he con
tinued.
Under the program, the federal
government will pay up to 70
percent of the average cost of
carrying out some of the more
important practices. These in
clude establishing permanent
vegetative cover for pasture or
hay, planting trees, timber stand
improvement, and building dams
for livestock water.
Cost-sharing rates for other
approved practices—such as
planting cover crops, improving
pastures, terracing, and building
dams for irrigation—will be about
50 percent of the average cost.
Bradley said county ASC com
mittees, with cooperation of
other agricultural agencies in the
counties, are now adapting the
program to the needs of indivi
dual counties.
“Announcement of the program
for each county will be made
locally by the county ASC com
mittee within the next few
weeks,” he stated. “All farmers
in each county will then be given
an opportunity to request cost
sharing for performing needed
conservation practices on their
farms in 1957.”
