Fiftyâ€" nine families voted "no." This is a ratio of eleven YES to one NO and indicates rather clearly that the families in Highland Park do want a Community House. Most of the people showed by their overwhelmâ€" ing vote that they favor park land for a Community House, thus savâ€" ing about $25,000 which otherwise would have been needed to purchase sufficient land. The money saved in this way can now be used on the original building and this makes it possible for the Directors to proâ€" ceed at once with their plans made at the annual meeting fheld last Monday night. s Of the 426 families who voted for the park site, a spot Amap shows some very interesting comparisons. 180 families in the eastern section of Highland Park voted for the Sunâ€" set Park site, and 233 families in the western section ‘of Highland Park voted for this same site. It is very evident, because of the scatâ€" tered and yet heavy return for the park site, that all classes of people are heartily in favor of the park site. All votes were tabulated or a map to show just where the votes originated. This spot map study, too, shows that 98 families in the eastâ€" ern section and 49 families in the western section voted for the St. Johns Avenueâ€"Ravine Drive site. Thirtyâ€"two more families from the eastern section voted for the Sunset Park site than the total vote for (Continued from last week) Furious rabies is commonly deâ€" scribed as having three separate and distinct stages, the line of deâ€" markation between each stage often being definitely indistinct. . These stages or divisions are the stage of melancholy; the stage of irritation; the stage of paralysis. In the peâ€" riod of melancholy, the disposition of the animal may change from one of joy and happiness to that of irâ€" ritation and depression and back again, seemingly without cause or reason, and he may become easily frightened. _ He may become exâ€" tremely affectionate upon the slightâ€" est provocation, or refuse his norâ€" mal food and show a decided tenâ€" dency to bite and gnaw at indigestâ€" ible objects, while swallowing may become very difficult and forced. In a great many cases a persistent cough may be present. This stage may last from one to three or four The period of irritation and fury is characterized by a great inclinaâ€" tion on the part of the animal to escape its confines and run away, by a marked tendency to bite at aniâ€" mals and people, as well as inaniâ€" mate objects, and by a very strange alteration in the voice and bark. Ordinarily, the duration of this stage is from one to three or four days, after which the last stage or that of paralysis will make its apâ€" pearance. _ During this time, the animal very rapidly loses flesh and becomes emaciated, the eyes become staring and dull, and the hair is erect. Paralysis of the mouth and jaw becomes evident, followed by a paralysis of the posterior extremiâ€" ties. In some cases this progress ive paralysis is reversed in action, and the hind quarters are affected :l:flly.fdl-nzy:m neck, head * ’hfl!- the animal stretches out and underâ€" goes a complete paralysis with death cecurring usually after the fifth to seventh day from the onset of the picture, for the nervous symptoms are much less marked and in some nearly so. ‘The paraiytic symptoms clo"u.qh.:ho.‘-fl'h: rabies seldom live “ '.fifimvâ€" Five hundred and fortyâ€"nine famâ€" C o TNLA _ aees Ne ce .004 Dumb rabies presents a different Sites other than above ...

Jim the St. Johns Avenue site by all votingâ€"families in Highland Park, Of the 669 voting families, there were 515 who favored a plan in which the Community Chést would help to raise the funds needed to carry on the Community House proâ€" gram. Sixtyâ€"three voted NO and 91 left the question blank. This clearly indicates that the majority of the voting families are willing to contribute additional funds to the Community Chest as might be needed for Community House supâ€" port. In addition to this support, income producing activities are beâ€" ing planned. 18 Because of the large number of families votirig for a Community House, Community Service of Highâ€" land Park is setting into motion a number of plans which will culmiâ€" nate ultimately in a complete Comâ€" munity House. The present plans are very conservative. It is their thought that no extensive nor exâ€" pensive program be carried out imâ€" mediately; rather that they now erect a simple, useful structure that will house the most needed faciliâ€" ties. It is thought by some that the essential features of a Communâ€" ity House most needed by Highland Park comprise the following: Gymâ€" nasium, _ Game « and Regreation Room, Bowling Alleys, Handball and Squash Courts, Showers, Washâ€" rooms, and Offices. This first or central structure can later be enlarged as additional funds become available, to house other needed club rooms, handicraft, and social activities. length of time than about five days, and usually they succumb within 72 hours. _ However, infection caused by the bite of an animal suffering from this form of the disease, or contamination of an open wound or sore with saliva from an animal with dumb rabies may be just as disâ€" astrous and farâ€"reaching in results and sequels as similar infection origâ€" inating from the furious type of the m',",d" " 4 , Rabies of either type is caused, to the best of our knowledge, by a fixed virus, and it occurs in the saâ€" liva of infected animals, as well as in many other secretions and places. Therefore, since the saliva is presâ€" ent in abundance on and around the teeth of any individual, it is decidâ€" »dly to one‘s best intérest to obâ€" tain prompt medical aid if he is unâ€" fortunate enough to be the recipient of a bite that breaks the skin from any rabid suspect. This disease is essentially one of nervous tissue, and it is a well esâ€" tablished fact that the virus is very able to travel along the nerve trunks of the body. From this, therefore, has come he belief that bites diâ€" rectly upon nervous tissue are more dangerous from the standpoint of transmission of rabbies tha n are bites upon bloodvessels, etc., fi similarly, bites upon the face neck, being closer to the central nervous system, are more dangerous than are those on the feet and hands. In any case, varying lengths of time may elapse between the entrance of infection and the appearance of the first symptoms of the disease. Inâ€" fection upon the feet or hands has hnh:hov-bhn h‘-l‘t‘h: source rabbis symptoms as as several months after the occurâ€" rance of the bite. There is only one method of conâ€" trolling this thing we call rabies, n‘ththvdmm.jorplmi rabies vaccination for ALL dogs f an active control of all strays in a given area. 8 Contrary to the beliefs of many, rabfes vaccination does not cause a dog to become sick in ‘ per cent of the cates. ‘True, as in any type of human sickness, .-:-p or even :fi.w-n:‘-:‘. | resistance on part â€"lchohhmiz‘ Number in Total West Family _ Vote 283 1422 s 49 497 18 : ~ 85 26 , 83 10 12 126 T1 1775 185 167 167 No Number 515 91 16 e can exert control, but‘ the inâ€" rcracrerva far between; and the renote p ity of its occurrance should not stand in the way of vaceination each year.

Persons bitten by rabid suspects should immediateâ€" ly following suit as their citizens are other animals actively exposed to rabies may be given a similar series of injections. Rabies control has faced the comâ€" munities of Northern Illinois more and more in the past few years, and great strides have been taken toâ€" wards that end. Compulsory vacâ€" cination of all dogs is in force in many towns and cities, while others less progressive are slowly but sureâ€" ly following suit as their citiens are learning to realize the folly of alâ€" lowing political intervention and other forms of fanaticism to act as the proverbial monkey wrench in the wheels of progress. Compulsory vaccination of house and kennel dogs combined with an adequate solution to the stray dog problem means the uitimute coumtzol of a rather vitalelvic situation. No individual or group of individuals should feel that it is necessary to stand in the way of modern medical science by trying to "beat the law" by concealing pet dogs when imm@- ors call or by failing to give ir canine friends the advantages and protection that is rightfully theirs, under the false colors of individualâ€" ity in ideas, religious or otherwise. _ Perhaps the time will soon come when everyone will realize that unitâ€" ed cooperation is of vital importance to any project that is communityâ€" wide or nationâ€"wide in scope, and this above all is essential to the final removal of this dreadful disâ€" ease from these United States.
