After months of hearing no word on the subject from those in charge, Gene Piatrowski Went to Spring Grove last week to see if he could get any information. It seems that last yfear we should have gotten our lake re-stocked, but fish were in such demand that they didn't get around to us. However, this spring for sure you can depend on it! We also must take this opportunity to thank Mr. Piatrowski for his grand efforts in this matter. Now, another matter pertaining to the lake. It's a touchy subject, I'll admit, but one that has to be published before our lake is re-stocked with fish. , Under no circumstances shall anyone without the authorization and 100 per cent written signatures of every^ttrikrty owner at McCullom LakHujgfojttny type of poison in the Ww-for any reason whatsoever, with all due consideration to -the men whose efforts went into re-stjfcHJng the lake, it certainly wouler be work in vain if syq^g occurrence should happen again. < The Metropolitan Achievement tests will be administered to the second and thiid grades. Friday, the twenty-ninth, will be a free day for the children attending St. Mary's. This will, give the teachers additional time to score the tests and will surely be a welcome break for the children after a rather strenuous test week.

Rabies Is Threat Any Time Of Year Rabies can strike any time of the year -- it is not just a hot weather problem. Recent cases of the disease in Chicigo prove this point. Dr. R. E. Witter of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois says that rabies is serious in the summer, late winter and early spring when stray animals roam the countryside for food and mates. Any warm-blooded animal can get rabies. Once the disease develops in an snimal or human, the victim is sure to die. However, the disease can be stopped by vaccination before it develops. Rabies take3 two forms in animals. Dogs having the "dumb" form are listless, become paralyzed and die wfthin a week. "Furious" rabies is more Icommon. At first, the dog may try to eat wood, atones anJ dirt. Later he will go mad and run around biting anything in his way before he becomes paralyzed and dies. Dr. Witter says to play it safe and follow these suggestions to cut down the rabies threat this year: 1. Vaccinate your pets each year. 2. Keep the animals in the house or pen, on a leash or muzbled if any cases of rabies appear in your neighborhood. 3. If your pet acts like he may have rabies, take him to your veterinarian. He will keep him until he can be sure of whether or not he has the disease." " 4. If you are bitten by any animal, wash the bite with plenty of soap and wittt. See your doctor at once. Hi win treat the wound ^and decide you. otamld take tfte snti-raMc vaccinitlon shots. > - j If the animal which bit you I can be caught, he will be locked, up until veterinarians know if | he had rabies.

By the time most take the shots to make sure' 0f you read this, some represenyou don't get rabies,, Dr. Witter advises. v Willifim E. Fay, state March of Dimes chairman, last week gave an accounting of the use of March of * Dimes funds. He explained that of each dollar contributed, 69 cents goes for patient care, 18.7 cents is used in research and education, 4.3 cents in administration expense and 3.4 tative will have called on you for a donation.
