luih tb Texas. It U descending
like Poe’s weapon in the pit to
alter the picture of rabies in
Texas.
At the end of June the Tex-
as State Department of Health
announced a total of 350 rabies
cases in Texas reported to
health authorities. Sixty-nine
of these cases occurred in June
The changing aspects of the
Texas rabies picture stems
from the fact that prevalence
of wildlife rabies has shifted
significantly from foxes to
skunks during the past few
years.
Whereas 10 years ago, most
rabies cases reported in Texas
involved domestic animals, to-
day the majority of cases are
among wildlife animals. Out
of the 69 cases reported in June,
nearly half were skunks.
In all of 1951, there were
only 54 cases of rabies among
skunks spread over 30 differ-
ent counties. During the same
year, most wildlife rabies cas-
es were reported in foxes.
A dramatic swing of Texas
rabies in another direction is
also apparent. During the peak
fox-wildlife outbreaks the ma-
jor area of occurence was in a
chain of counties running in a
rough horizontal line stretch-
ing from mid-East Texas
through Central Texas.
Today the skunk wildlife pic-
ture spreads across a north-to-
south belt involving the eastern
portion of Central Texas! and
has now involved South Texas,
West Texas, North - Central
Texas, and the Texas Pan-
handle counties.
At the end of June, an ag-
gregate of 179 cases of skunk
rabies had been reported since
Jan. 2—32 in June alone. The
number of eases that come to
the State Health Department
laboratory for diagnosis repre-
sents only a small fraction of
the number cf oases that actm-
ally occur.
It is this that portrays the
descending nature of the pen-
dulum. One state already as-
sumes that any submitted
skunk head is rabid, and hu-
man exposure to a skunk bite
is dealt with as an exposure to
rabies.
Escape from the immediate
danger of rabies exposure can
be avoided with proper vaccin
ation of dogs and cats period
ically as recommended by a
veterinarian. (A weekly fea-
ture from Public Health Edu-
cation Division, Texas State
Department of Health.)

provide information and other
assistance in filing request ap-
plications for the burial of vet-
erans and their eligible de-
pendents.

ceive the “special” GI insur-
ance dividend from VA?

THURSDAY, JULY 37
Read X Samuel 13:10-16;
John 5:40-47
Samuel said to Saul, Thou
hast done foolishly: thou has
not kept the commandment
of the Lord thy God. (I Sam-
uel 13:13.)
Samuel was God’s man. He
knew God’s marching orders.
If they did not come, he did not
move, but stood steadfast in
holy reverence baton God.
Samuel was displeased and
angry with Saul for his dis-
obedience to God. His twice-
repeated assertion, “Thou hast
not kept the commandment of
the Lord," was a serious warn-
ing to Saul for his disobedience.
Samuel withstood Saul with
courage and boldness, directing
his words straight as the arrow
flies.
Those words took hold at
Saul, and he trembled with
conviction. In days to come,
Saul remembered this holyaaaa
of God, especially his unself-
ishness and justice.
What sublime beauty we find
in the life of Samuel; What aa
Inspiration is the memory of
his faith! What encouragement
knowledge of his faithfulness to
God gives us In hours of temp-
tation!
PRAYER: Holy Father, God
of all generations and all creat-
ures, may we, too, be obedient
to the heavenly vision. With as-
surance of Thy promise, may
we stand boldly and remain
true to Thee. In Jesus' name.
Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAT:
Men of God walk humbly be-
fore Him in obedient trust.
