Officials of the State Health

had received reports of cases of
equine encephalitis in severa!
horses in Gwinnett and Taylor
counties and from the areasaro
und Columbus, Statesboro and
Ashburn, Some of the cases have
been confirmed as the virus dis
ease, commonly referred to as
¢‘sleeping sickness of horses”
-=while other cases are still be
ing lab-tested but are considered
high on the department’s ‘‘sus
pect list,””
Dr, David Dreesen, the depart
ment’s veterinarian, reported
that the disease can be trans
mitted to human beings, but only
in rare cases has this been true,
“There is always some dan
ger that the disease will be tr
ansmitted to a person,” he com=
mented, ‘““but 2 horse can not
affect a person directly,”
Dr, Dreesen pointed out that a
person would get the disease
from the bite of a mosquito
which is the transmitter to men
and horses, ‘‘Mosquitoes pick
up the disease after biting wild
birds, which are the reservoirs

MICRO-MESSAGES FOR THE MOON from 74 heads
of state plus four U.S. documents are contained on this
113 inch diameter silicon wafer in a Time Capsule left
on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
The messages were reduced to 1/200th of their origi
nal size by a new information technology process de
veloped by the Sprague Electric Company Semicon
ductor Division, Worcester, Mass.
By etching the micro-messages in an ultra-thin, 4-
millionths of an inch, quartz (silicon dioxide) coating
on the silicon wafer, a record able to withstand the
extreme conditions of space will remain permanently
on the moon to signify the historic event.
The Sprague process allows the pin-head sized mes
sages to withstand temperatures over 1800°F indefi
nitely, something far beyond the abilities of microfilm
and other previous micro-reproduction techniques.
