City Gives Particulars of
Dog Ordinance, Enforcement
The problems arising daily from
the canine population of our city
are apparent to most of us and
of special interest to some of us
effected by one or many of these
problems. It should, however, be
apparent to all of us that there is
a grave danger to human life in
volved In these problems.
A large percentage of the dogs
wandering the city streets have
no home of their own and no par
ticular person to care for them.
Without the proper care and inno
culation against rabies, these dogs
are left to run wild and unwanted
through the streets and to become
a definite threat to our commun
ity.
The City of Covington’s ordi
nance requiring that dogs be in
noculated against rabies is com
plied with in most cases where
family pets are involved, however,
there are those cases where peo
ple forget or tend to delay ob
taining this protection for their
dogs. The dogs then have no li
cense tags and this, of course, re
sults in the City having to pick
them up along with those dogs that
are running wild.
Before the summer comes, when
rabies seems to occur more fre
quently, every citizen should con
duct his or her own private cam
paign to see that the dogs in their
neighborhood are innoculated

I against rabies. And furthermore,
J to insure their pets from being im
pounded, they should see that the
dogs are identified with the pro
per tags securely fastened around
their necks. This type of campaign
now, with neighbors working to
gether, could mean that ve r y
few pets would have to be im
pounded and could save endless
hours of anguish over a "lost dog”,
impounded because it was not
wearing the proper tag.
The individual citizen could al
so aid in the "year-round” cam
paign to rid our city of the un
wanted and uncared for dog, by
reporting the presence of any
strange dog wandering in their
neighborhood, not wearing a tag,
to the Police Department, Tele
phone 786- 2774. Also, prowling
dogs, causing undue disturbances
in a neighborhood should be re
ported to the Police Department.
Once a dog has been picked up,
it will be impounded for a period
of three days and released to the
owner only upon proof of innocu
lation. If the dog has not been in
noculated, then the owner must
agree to the innoculation of t h e
dog and pay the $5 00 impounding
fee (includes $1.50 for innoculation
fee). All dogs that are unclaimed
after three days will be put to
sleep for the good of the rest of
| the canine population and for the
safety of our community.

For Sat, July 13
The DeKalb County Com
mission Tuesday designated a
half-mile section of North
Decatur Road as the official
1963 Soap Box Derby track.
This year’s Soap Box Derby,
the first ever to be run in De-
Kalb County, will take place
July 13.
The official tract is located
between East Ponce de Leon
Avenue and DeKalb Industrial
Way. It is almost one-half mile
long and veteran Soap Box
Derby officials say it will be
one of the best tracks in the
country for the race.
At the same time, Marlin
Paulson, JayCee Soap Box
Derby Director, announced
that the official wheels had
arrived at Southern Chevrolet
243 W. Ponce de Leon Avenue,
Decatur. All boys 11 through
15 years of age may enter by
registering with Southern
Chevrolet while in the comp
any of a parent or guardian.
Each entrant will be given a
free copy of the official 1963
Soap Box Derby rule book and
Thursday, March 21, 1863
a brochure explaining the pro
gram.
While the race is being run
in DeKalb and being sponsored
by the DeKalb JayCees, it is
not being limited solely to De-
Kalb boys.
Participants in the DeKalb
race will be competing for a
SSOO savings bond, a beaut, 'ul
championship trophy and an
all-expense paid trip to Akron,
Ohio, to take part in the All
American Soap Box Derby on
August 3. Approximately 200
boys, champions from comm
unities throughout the United
States and several foreign co
untries, will compete at Akron
for $30,000 in college scholar
ship awards. Mr. Paulson said
clinics are being scheduled to
show the participants how the
racers must be built and em
phasized that all boys must
build their own racers.
Business firms may sponsor
racers if they desire.

Although history often paints
a glowing picture of Egypt's
contribution to the early days
of medicine, the simple truth
is that the Egyptians booted a
great opportunity to speed up
the painfully slow progress of
ancient medicine.
There is no denying that the
Egyptians brought embalming
and mummification to a high
degree of perfection. Howev.
er, centuries of mummification
which saw their art practiced
on untold millions of their peo
ple, gave no impetus to path
ology, for the Egyptians neither
observed nor dissected. Hence,
an Egypt on the threshold of
great medical advance stopped
just short of further knowledge
which would have been a nota
ble legacy to posterity.
