Rabies Is Still A

COLLEGE STATION-Few
er and fewer dogs are infeeted
with rabies each year, but the
disease is still a major threat to
our health, notes Dr. James
Armstrong, veterinarian for
the Texas Agricultural Extern
sion Service.
Now the threat comes mainly
from wildlife. Over 80 per cent

of the rabies cases reported in
the United States during July
and August 1973 involved
wildlife. And the disease is
most prevalent in hot. summer
weather.
Of 261 rabies cases confirmed
by the Texas State Department
of Health in 1973, 200 involved
wildlife. Skunks were the
animals most frequently found
infected with the disease. Bats,
foxes, raccoons, ringtails and
coyotes accounted for most of
the other wildlife cases.
"All warmblooded animals
can be infected with the virus
disease," says Armstrong. "The
Texas Health Department con
firmed 15 cases in horses, one in
sheep and 23 in cattle last year
as well as five in .dogs and 17 in
cats," says Armstrong.
The disease is usually trans
mitled by the bite or tick of- a
rabid animal since the virus is
carried in the infected,animal’s
saliva, explains the veterinar
lan. Once in the body, the virus
infiltrates the nerve fibers and
attacks the nervous system,
resulting in death if no
treatment is given,
"When infected with rabies,
wildlife are a threat in areas of
human habitation as Well as in
their native habitat," continues
Armstrong. "An infected wild
animal may suddenly become
tame and approach people' and
their environment in a friendly
way. Thus children should be
warned to stay away from such
seemingly tame wildlife as well
as dying animals.”

SHOP IN COLEMAN
Fix-It Tip
Making the kitchen more
comfortable is a matter of
getting rid of the warm air.
The method can be elaborate
or simple, depending on your
skill and-or how much you
can spend.
The best method is the
modern kitchen exhaust sys-
tem — hood, fan and vent —
mounted right over the cook-
ing area. These are gener-
ally hung on the bottom of
kitchen cabinets with duct
work running up through the
cabinet and through the
dropped wall and ceiling
that fills the area between
the top of the cabinet and the
true ceiling. These are best
installed during building or
remodeling.
In older kitchens, exhaust
fans are best installed
directly in the ceiling (in a
one-floor home) or in the
wall. In a ceiling installation,
cut a hole big enough to fit
the unit. Don’t worry to fit
the unit. Don’t worry about
ragged edges. A trim plate
will cover them.
It will pay you to remember
that obstacle is just another
way to spell opportunity.
