(No answers accepted before 1 o’clock Thursday.) • ooo A language that ia whistled, not spoken, flourishes in the Cjuiary Islands, we learned from a recent bulletin from the National Geographic Society. On hilly Gomera, people must communicate peross long distances, and whistling^carries better than shouting. By a series of higher and lower tones, pauses, intonations and stresses, a whistler can convey most oif die information necessary for day-today existence—Kinds throws a kink into the across-thei-feneej goosip (over-the-hiUs) doesn’t it. Not the whistling, I mean, but the Some minds are Eke concrete: All mixed up and permanently set. $200 Given Locally To Combat Cancer The county Cancer Crusade has moved halfway towards its $400 goal, according :to Chairman H.

All members are urged to attend^ Rabid Foxes Attack Twice In One Week ; J With 5 rabid foxes in the county in the past 5 week*, 2 this last week, Rappahannock is fast waking to the idea that; a vaccination clinic is imperative. The shots that were given dogs 3 years ago are not affective now. The 2 rabid foxes attacked the dogs of George Beahm of Washington and Elwood Welch of Flint HHl.v accounting for the 2 most recent incidents.^ The rabies incidence is highest in winter and spring, but it occurs in every season. All warm blooded animals are susceptible.; - The disease is transmitted by the,, bite of a rabid animal, and there Is no evidence that eating the food of an infected animal will cause rabies. Bites of wild animals such as foxes, wolves and wildcats are usually more dangeroust since these animals bite deeper. S YMKl UiN b U* iwmu * IN ANIMALS The average incubation time of rabies varies from 2 to 6 weeks, but in some cases may be prolonged as long as 6 months or a year. There are two types of rabias, the "furious” and “dumb” but these types may merge or appear at different stages in the same animal. In the vicious or furious type, > altered disposition. The gentle : dog becomes morose, hfdes and re- ' fuses fpod. Then the dog becomes restless, irritable and agitated, particularly when restrained. Strangers may be attacked without warning. The aniqial will run and shy at the slightest noises. It barks and growls, snarling viciously at anything in its path. If free, it leaves the house, and travels many miles, attacking men and animal’s ■ alike, including the cats, dogs, poultry, horses, and cows with which it had lived peacefully. It attacks and passes on, to die in a. spastic fit, or fall with its legs paralyzed. Animals alffected with die dumb or paralytic type do not usually wander. This type may be unrecognized, 'although it is. common, since the stage of excitement or irritability is absent or unnoticed. Paralysis sets in early,' the jaws gape and saliva .drops from die mouth. Swallowing becomes painful, and then impossible. This gives the disease the name of “hydroprobia,” since neither pen nor animals can be induced to drink water. The animal falls into a coma as the paralysis increases and (Con’t to page 3) Miss Mary Anri Hall Honorary Fire Chief For Amissville V.F J).

Persons may become infected with this type in attempting to ' treat die throat of die sick animal, particularly cattle and horses, be* lieving them to be choking. Do not put your hands into these animals' throats without first calling your veterinarian. Animals suffering from rabies are without fear and the disease apparently makes them insensible to force; blows or gun shots do not frighten them. Rabid wild animals will enter farm premises and fearlessly attack dogs or humans. Another characteristic is the tendency of the animal to chew hard objects such as wood, rocks, or even glass. Horses and cattle will be nervous and excitable and bite their stalls or mangers, sometimes hard enough to break their teeth. WHAT TO DO IF BITEN BY A DOG OR OTHER RABID ANIMAL Rabies is • contracted chiefly through bites. Immediately, wash the wound with soap and water and encourage bleeding. This removes most of the saliva including the virus if the animal has rabies. See your doctor and let him decide whether further local treatment or vaccine treatment should be given. WHAT 1U LKJ WUM SUSPECTED ANIMALS Even if the biting dog appears to have rabies it should not be killed unless necessary, but should be locked up for a period of seien daysv This allows time for observation and prevents th'e animal’s escape if he does have the disease. An animal with rabies always dies within 10 days of beginning symptons. During the early stages of the disease it is often impossible to determine whether or not animal is infected, but if it dies or is killed late in disease laboratory diagnosis is fairly easily. Do not shoot the animal through the head or hit him on the head as the brain only is- used for laboratory diagnosis. If a wild animal bites a domesticated one, it is advised to confine the animal bitten until an examination can be done on animal doing biting. If this examination is not possible it is suggested that animal be confined for 60 days and a veterinarian be contacted regarding Pasteur treatment.; Sometime^ the Negri bodies in the brain which are characteristic of rabies, do not show up in early stages of the disWhen a .suspected animal dies or is killed the head should be removed very carefully so as not to scratch infected material into the skin. The wearing of gloves for this has been advised. You can 1952 8-CYLINDER FORD CRESTLINE CONVERTIBLE ' • • • Heater, Radio, Fordomatic, White Tires, New Top \ I . Lou?

POTATOES Potato prices jumped sharply last week under the pressure of dwindling supplies of old stocks, freeze damage to new potatoes, and speculation. This short supply period will probably mean good prices on into May. ■ . ;ij ■ BROILERS ) Virginia broiler prices will probably level off around the low of last week’s range or they could drop off a cent this week. jjv Then,'through the rest of April, • they will decline a bit more. i! Supplies are on the upgrade and will reach last year’s level in a week or ten days. They continue up into May, and it looks like a weakened market is in prospect. Last week, prices in the State were down 2 cents to 27-28 cents a pound. The increase in supply was felt in other markets as Veil. Georgia prices were down 2 Cents to around 28, markets in North Carolina weakened 1 cent to 2930. In the long-range outlook, the egg set trend for the past two weeks has been slightly downward. However, the set is still about 3 f per cent greater than at the same time las^ year. * > TRUCK dROPS It looks now as if the freeze of March 26-27 may i materially in- * create Virginia growers’ competition from Southern areas at harvest time. ! • * v The cold weather in the States to the South of Virginia hilled early plants and delayed the harvest of some crops. | L j‘ The strawberry crop in the Carolina’s | and Tennessee was seriously damaged, land shipments will be delayed from two to three weeks. Prospects are for M good yield in Virginia. j I . Another effect of the freeze may show up iti a shortage of tomato plants for; the middle, stage of planting in Virginia. Georgia plants were badly hurt by the, freeze, and it is uncertain jus? what supply will be Available there. Growers down South had to replant much snap beans acreage, and this delay in their crop" will ( mean* more competition when Virginia beans are sold, i r Flint Hill News Notes The Reverend Raymond Cardwell of Richmond Memorial Church, is the guest speaker at revival services at Jeffersonton Church.

Tags State Civil Defense Coordinator, J. H. VVyse, today urged all Virginians to secure their CD identification tags, which are now available to the public. Wyse said his office already has received hundreds of requests for the tags, which were put on sale only a few days ago. Public response, he stated, has been “very encouraging.” | The stainless steel, necklstetype tag and chain which conform to federal CD specifications, can be obtained by sending the necessary information, along; with 25 cents, to the Office of Civil Defense, Room 20, State Capitol, Richmond. The tags, which are available to each man, woman and child in the state, would be invaluable in time of an accident or disaster, Wyse pointed out. He said requests received by his office will be pro-, cessed as rapidly as possible. Wyse also noted th&t with each . 620 tags sold through the State CD Office, a tag imprinter for use in first aid stations, evacuation areas, etc., will be furnished local civil defense organizations. The 25-cent charge is necessary to cover the cost of preparing the tags. Each request must' be accompanied by the following information : TIRST LINE—Print your pame plainly. Example: John Doc (If full name contains more than 14 letters, use initial or abbreviation for first name.) SECOND LINE—Print name of person,to be notified in an emergency'. Example: John Doe, Sr. THIRD LINE—Print street address or rural route number of person named in 2nd line. FOURTH LINE—Pririt city & state of person named in second line. Example: Richmond, Va.

Hawker A. Greathouse, U. S. Air Force Recruiter for Rappahannock County. , Sgt. Greathouse cited growing shortages within the Air Force in these career fields as the reason behind a recent change in Air Force regulations which permits certain airmen to re-enlist in the grade formerly held as Jhuch as six months after discharge. In the past, all airmen had to re-enlist Within three months of discharge to retain their rank.' ' Sgt. Greathouse invited all former airmen in this area to drop in to see him in his office at Post Office in Washington, any time between 1 KX) and 2 KX) p.m. every Thursday to determine if they are eligible for re-enlistment under the provision of this regulation and to discuss the many advantages of a career in our modern Global Air Force. “The Air force has a « large investment in the. training of these men,” said Sgt. Greathouse. "Their technical skills and knowledge are needed, and we can now goffer many of them special consideration on re-enlistment.” P.-T.A. WILL MEET ONE HOUR EARLIER ‘ The Flint Hill P. T.

I , Letter To The Editor Salon Church Dam on the Rappahannock to be built? Fredericksburg City Fathers are almost sure I it will be built. This reservoir will cover an area approximately the size of Arlington County. ' Your county taxes will be increased because of the tax loss in ; this large area. The U. S. Government does not pay county taxes on property it owns. According to an Army Engineer’s statement, this dam will not benefit Culpeper, Rappahannock, j Fauquier or Orange counties whatsoever. The claims that excellent j boating, bathing and irrigation: facilities will be afforded jby this j project, are false. j j This project can be stopped, but j we need your help urgently. The Committee on Public Works, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., will hold a hearing Monday, April 25, at 11 j a.m., (Daylight Saving Time) in Room 1302, New House Office! Building, on the Capitol grounds. Witnesses desiring to be heard on this legislation should submit their names to the Chief Clerk of the Committee, Charles G- Tierney, , in advance of the hearing. 1 Howard W.

Many of your sons and friends have lost their lives for land of less value than this affected area! Please attend this hearing—you are urgently needed. j ^ you are a sawmiller, your business may be wiped out because I of the destruction of timberland in this area. It is going to wipe oat a* lot of farms, thus putting fanner* out of business. This “beautiful” dam will look like a horrible skin cancer or birthmark on the face of a lovely young lady.
