Steps Taken Toward Retirement System For State Workers Atlanta, April 6 (GPS)—Geor¬ gia has moved a step nearer to¬ ward setting up a retirement system for state employees. All department heads have been asked by State Auditor B. E. Thrasher, Jr., to furnish him with the employment date of every employee, together with his title, monthly salary and home address. The State Legislature at its recent session passed a law to provide for the retirement of employees who are in depart¬ ments covered by the merit sys¬ tem and other employees who have worked wor the state 20 years or longer. The retirement system is to become effective January 1, 1950. if funds are available at that time. Employees will participatf fn raising the retirement fund for future use. The 1949 Legislature also ex¬ panded the state merit system to cover technical, professional, scientifis and clerical employees of the Highway Department, the various institutions under the Welfare Department and the Department of Public Safety, and the Public Service Commis¬ sion. This added 2.839 employ¬ ees to the merit sysetm rolls. The merit system previously had covered principally the Health. Welfare and Labor De¬ partments with 3.619 emoloyees. This ma^es a total of 6.453 cov¬ ered by both the merit system and the retirement system with 20-year employees of other de¬ partments still to be added. The Retirement Act provides for a seven-member board of trustees. The act itself nam^d (the state auditor, the insurance commissioner and the merit svs- tem director as trustees. The Governor is to appoint one trus¬ tee and the trustees themselves will name three more. Merit System Director Ed Swain predicts that it will not be long before employees of all departments will be brought, un¬ der the system, thus being elim¬ inated from political activity and political interference.

SELLS SAYS A “Vaccinate Your Dog Week” has been suggested to Georgia dog owners by State Health Di¬ rector Thomas F. Sellers. This is the season when every dog- owner should have his net Im¬ munized against rabies, or “hy¬ drophobia,” he explained. Thp health officer stated that vaccination for rabies will pre¬ vent the disease in almost every instance. He revealed that vac¬ cination pi-ograms in counties where rabies were most prevalent helped reduce the number of confirmed cases in Georgia from 471 in 1947 to 388 last year. Rabi°s vaccination is not a per¬ manent protection against hy¬ drophobia. but will protect Bow¬ ser for at least a year, Dr. Sellers continued, adding that the im¬ munization should be repeated each spring or early summer. F"x r s “go mad,” too, according to th« health director, and it is especially important that dog- owners in for-hunting areas help Drevent the spread of the disease by vaccinating their dogs regu¬ larly. Frequently dog'"to the disease spreads from fox valuable farm animals, and occasionally | to humans, Dr. Sellers stated.
