Health Department
Rabies Rate Lower in
Georgia’s History
Rabies among dogs is lower
than anytime in the state’s his
tory. Thanks to the combined ef
forts of Georgia veterinarians,
county boards of health, and State
Health Department sponsored
rabies clinics.
The state had a phenomenal
drop in rabies last year. Only 81
dog heads were found to be infect
ed after examination by State
Health Department Laboratory
personnel, whereas the head of 230
dogs were found to be rabid in
1953..

department director, says that

more emphasis should be given to
the control of rabies among foxes
and cattle because there are now
more rabid cattle and foxes in
Georgia than rabid dogs.
“When fox rabies is prevalent in
an area,’ he says, “state and coun
ty health departments try to stim
ulate interest in dog vassination
programs. Since rabies is primar
ily a dog’s disease, the first meas
ure to be taken is the vaccination
of dogs. This tends to protect both
dogs and livestock. Serious prob
lems involving dogs and wild life
require appropriate action by
• county officials and the U. S. Fish
- and Wildlife Service personnel,
' who reduce the wildlife population
i by trapping. In some sections of
the country rabies among other
i forms of wildlife—such as skunks,
t bobcats, and raccoons—is a more
serious problem than either dogs
or foxes.
Dr. Sellers says that county
boards of health perform an im
portant role in rabies control by
getting rid of stray dogs. He says
thatopen garbage dumps present
"a whale of a problem” because
stray dogs congregate at these
dumps and eat.
“It is our practice,” Dr. Sellers
says, “to encourage dog vaccina
tion and dog control throughout
the state but to concentrate our
efforts in known infected areas.
If this does not control the disease
the county may . request state as
sistance.”
At the present time, the bulk
of dog rabies exists in South De-
Kalb, South Fulton, Clayton, and
Henry counties. Elsewhere in the
state, fox rabies is a greater prob-

House Colors
Coordinated
At Factory
■“There used to be two main
ways of color-styling a house, and
they’re both on the way out,” says
color consultant Frederic H. Rahr.
"The first approach was to paint
the whole house white, except the
shutters, which were usually
green. The alternate method was
to buy six or eight vivid colors
and turn the house into a rain
bow.
“Color selection today is color
coordination. It beats the old
ways because it allows the home
owner to express his individuality
Without being afraid he’s violat
ing any rules of good taste.”
Pick Roof Color First
Color coordination, Rahr ex
plains, means picking an attrac
tive roof color, then selecting col
ors for siding and trim to har
monize with the roofing.
“And to make coordination sim
pler,” he adds, “more and more
manufacturers of paints, asphalt
roofing, asbestos siding, and other
building materials are coloring
their products in related tones.”
Thus, Rahi- says, the home
owner has a virtually unlimited
choice of colorful building ma
terials with which to style his
house.
For example, the householder
who plans to build or remodel
with a roof of blue-green asphalt
shingles may select powder blue
for the siding, charcoal for the
eaves and window trim, and coral
for the accent.
“Accent” Is Contrast
'“’Accent” refers to a vivid con
trast color applied to a limited
area, usually to the front door,
and sometimes to window boxes
or other details. The accent color
acts as a focal point for the ob
server's qye. ~
, , If the roof is to be pastel green
asphMt shingles, related combi
nations; include pale green siding,
dark green trim, and -bright yel
,’fow accent, or cream siding, pastel
green trim, and yellow-green ac
cent. (
