NORTH SHORE SCOUTS TO SUMMER CAMP SOON Camp Checaugau and Cabin-in- the-Woods to Be Scenes of Busy Summer Activity North shore troops, Boy Scouts of America, will again this year take part in Camp Checaugau, one of the units of the Owasippe camps, located near Whitehall, Mich. As many of the troops as possible will attend accom- panied by Scoutmaster, assistant Scoutmaster or troop committeemen. A large number of north shore troops plan to go to camp for the first period which begins June 25 and in- cludes the big fireworks display on July 4. The dates are as follows: First period, June 25 to July 7; second per- iod, July 9 to July 21; third period, July 25 to August 4; fourth period, Au- gust 6 to August 18; and fifth period, August 20 to September 1. Plan Advanced Camp For many years Chicago has hoped to have an advanced camp for first class Scouts, 15 years of age or over. This dream will come true this sum- mer at the advanced camp at Hiawatha Beach. A special program featuring merit badge advancement, water-front activities, pioneering and nature pro- jects, Sea-scouting, and Indian lore is being prepared for' this specialty or advanced camp: A stronger emphasis upon Scout work will be made during the spring and summer months than during the rest of the year. Many Scouts will go to Camp Checaugau in Michigan for two weeks or more and many will attend the camp at the Cabin-in-the- Woods, west of Glencoe, at various times during the summer. Many troops will hold "fun meetings throughout the summer months. In case any troop finds it impossible to hold meetings throughout the summer, the boys from that troop who are at home, will be invited to join the sum- mer Scout club which will be a get- together of Scouts from various troops to take part in Scouting fun. The meetings of the summer Scout club will be held out of doors. : Word has been received from the Chicago council that the first period and second period at Camp Checaugau are already filled to capacity. Regis- trations of local troops are accordingly being made for the third period which opens July 23. "Most of the local troops are planning on a series of trips during the summer month to the Cabin-in-the-Woods. A program of camp activities will be carried on from June 11 to August 11, under the leadership of Field Executive W. Ted Grant. To own and operate a camp of its own, is the ambition of every Scout council in the country. With this aim in mind, a group of north shore men left last week to spend a few days in and around Rhinelander, Wis, ex- amining available lakes which might be purchased for use as a north shore Rabies Situation Worst in History of State, Report To date this year, nearly a thou- sand animal heads, mostly dogs, com- ing from fifty counties in Illinois, have been examined for rabies in the pub- lic health laboratories of the State. Nearly 80 per cent of these or 637 proved to be positively infected. A total of 338 persons are known to have been bitten by rabid animals, home or pet dogs having inflicted 204 of the bites and stray dogs the other 134. These facts were revealed in a state- ment issued here today by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, who referred to the present epidemic of rabies as the worst that Illinois has ever experienced. Already the positive laboratory findings in 1928 exceed by 55 per cent the total for all of 1927. Last year 409 laboratory tests proved positive for rabies. Up to May 15 of this year 637 positive findings were re- ported. Cases in 50 Counties "Rabies has been demonstrated in animal heads coming from 186 com- munities located in fifty different coun- ties," Dr. Rawlings said. "Counties from which three or more positively infected heads came include Cook, Hamilton, DuPage, Kane, Macon, Lawrence, Johnson, White, Saline, Madison, St. Clair, Crawford, Chris- tian, Morgan, Pike, Bond, Peoria, Sangamon, Macoupin and Richland. Nearly the entire State is now with- in the epidemic area. "The wide range covered by mad dogs make it impossible to estimate the number of probably infected an- imals still at large. A lapse of from 10 to 90 days takes place between the date of infection and the first man- ifestations of rabies. Consequently it is exceedingly difficult to know when the disease has come under definite control. Muzzling Is Best "Vaccination of dogs appears to pro- tect them in some instances and not in others. The procedure is recommended but full dependence upon vaccination as a preventive among dogs is not war- ranted. The muzzle and the leash are more reliable than any other method. "Persons bitten by rabid dogs or other animals should receive the Pasteur anti-rabic treatment as promptly as practicable. The position of wound on the body and the severity of the laceration govern the rapidity with which the infection affects the body. Manifestations are apt to de- velop faster in children than in adults. "Rigid control measures are neces- sary to prevent considerable suffer- ing and economic loss." SILE!
