Sheriff's Police Participate In Special School A large number of men took part in a cold weather emer­ gency instruction school spon­ sored by the Illinois Ski patrol to inform them on the proper care of frostbite and other re­ lated problems. In all, sixteen from the sher­ iff's department participated. Sheriff John Carroll said. "T am certainly glad tnat I have three station wagons and I am going to get four more. I think this is going to become a re­ sponsibility of mine and I am greatly concerned. That is why I am trying to get all the peo­ ple I can to go to all of these schools and instructions". TJke IVotttf Cli true Roxy might have had some hid­ den justification for her sudden angry flare-up. But her mas­ ter's reaction is typical of the emotional difference that sep­ arates children from adults! For pain usually makes kiddies cry but men become enraged. So tutor your children in con­ verting both fear and pain into proper anger! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE L-592: Roxy, aged 4, is a house dog. ••We had raised her from a puppy, her master Informed me. "And I had usually given her food and drink every day, so she knew I was her chief friend. "But the other night, as I was reading my newspaper, she bit me severely through the right hand and then snarled and bit me several times along the forearm before I could stop her. "The blood flowed from sev­ eral puncture marks made by her teeth, and the pain was severe. "So I slapped her soundly and would have killed her, ex­ cept that she ran under the bed. "Then I went to the doctor to have my hand treated, but I told him the first thing I planned to do when I got back home was to kill my dog. "But he warned me not to do so, saying we needed to keep her alive to see if she had rabies. "He said watch her for two weeks and if she was still O.K., then* I wouldn't need rabies shots. "But on that 15th day, I plan to kill her for sure, for I am irate." ANGER VS. TEARS How do you react to sudden pain? Children almost invariably shed tears. Among adults, which sex is more likely to cry - the manor the woman? As a rule, women weep more readily than men. For the usual adult male re­ action is hot anger when he is pained though young boys may cry. One of the milestones which marks adulthood is this shift from tears to anger when we feel pain. Recently I was painting a scratch on my hand with some iodine while some of my young grandchildren looked on. "My goodness,„ Grandpa," one of them exclaimed, "doesn't that hurt a lot when you put iodine on your sore hand?" And I nodded my head. "But I just grow angry at the pain," I said, "and I al­ so figure that if it burns me like fire when I am a grown man, just think how it must bum those tiny germs which are much smaller than a speck of dust!" Several emotional attitudes, such as pain and fear, indicate an excessive interest in SELF. They are introvertive emotions. But we can quickly change them by adopting an extrover- tive outlook. For when you deliberately work up your anger, it will ban­ ish your pain and also your fear. So teach your kiddies to sub­ stitute righteous anger for their childish fears and pain, forthen they will more quickly have at­ tained adult emotional status. But in cases where you have been bitten by animals that may possibly be rabid, try to pre­ serve the animal alive for at least 14 days. Otherwise, to play safe you should take the lengthy series of rabies shots. If the dog is still alive after 14 days, he apparently was not afflicted with rabies. If he dies meanwhile and is proved rabid, you still have ample time for the rabies shots! But don't feel too murderous toward a family pet for just one flare-up! Roxy*s owner might have pat­ ted a boil on the dog!

Leukemia, one of the many diseases common to man and other animals, is the subject of increasing amounts of re­ search to determine its causes and methods of control, said the council's spokesman, but dras­ tic action against cats based on the present knowledge of leu­ kemia would be a tragic mis­ take. If the feline leukemia virus were transmissible to man by ordinary means, the in­ fection rate fljtang cat breeders and veterinanSlis would be ab­ normally highJ^pparently it is not, however. Until the transmission of leu­ kemia virus by natural means from cats to man or from man to cats has been substantiated, the council recommends that veterinarians and their cat- owning clients view recent leu­ kemia research findings as sig­ nificant but not as a reason for altering the role of the cat in the home. convert fear into anger!
