Asks All Dogs BeImmunized Two cases o f definitely diag­ nosed rabies with one positive laboratory report have occurred in dogs in the Bellbrook area. Three hogs have died with suir pieious symptoms. Animals ,)i■/ this area should lie ohsat’vRd vely ‘ carefully. The establishment o f a quar­ antine in rural areas has proved of questionable value. The health department i s recommending, however, that owners keep their dogs on premises preferably con­ fined or chained. All stray dogs should be eliminated. Probably the most effective way of preventing rabies is to have every dog immunized annually. Immunization has been proved to he effective. An epidemic of rab­ ies unquestionably can be pre­ vented by this method. If an epi­ demic o f rabies does occur, it will he necessary not only to establish a rigid quarantine but also to make immunization com- plusory. We would much prefer that control be attempted on a voluntary basis. We urge therefore, that every owner have his own dog immun­ ized at once.

PreventMid­ summer Slump InMilkOutput The rapid decline in milk pro­ duction, commonly experienced during July and August, can be prevented by supplying extra feed and especially extra rough- age to the cows. According to C. F. Monroe, associate chairman of the dairy 'department, the per­ manent or bluegrass pastures do not ordinarily supply sufficient amounts of feed of the proper quality during the mid-summer season. It is. therefore, a good plan to provide additional feed in order to maintain milk production and to keep the cows producing at a higher level into the fall season. This extra feed may be supplied In a number of different ways, such as by feeding silage or hay in the barn or in racks in the field. Sudan grass pasture also makes an excellent feed for the milking herd during this critical time. The performance of the cows on such pasture as compared to that on the average permanent pasture at this season is ample proof of the need for extra feed. Likewise, t he legume-meadow mixtures may he used to good advantage. No man is ever too busy to take time to tell folks how busy he is. This is Father’s Week—when he will pay for the gifts the fam­ ily got for him on Father’s Day. Suttonto Head Biochemistry Dr. T. S. Sutton, who has been dairy and animal nutritionist for the Ohio agricultural experiment station since 1931, has been named chairman in the department of agricultural biochemistry in the university college of agriculture. Dr. J. F. Lyman, former chair­ man, asked to be relieved of ad­ ministrative duties in the depart­ ment. In announcing the change approved at the Monday meeting o f the board of trustees, PresW dent Howard L. Bevis called at­ tention to the change in the name of the department from agricul­ tural chemistry to agricultural biochemistry. The new name is more in keeping with .the actual field o f work covered by the de­ partments. Commenting c**- this appoint­ ment, Dean-and-Direetor L. L. Rummell said that Dr. Sutton has record at the University and has done some o f the outstanding re-, search work in the country in the field o f dairy and animal nu­ trition. D r .‘Sutton will continue on the research staff of the ex­ periment station, in addition to his new duties. _ / Dr. Sutton was born in Ohio.

That’s the day eight gov­ ernors plus their secretaries of state and a string of important commissioners have indicated they will be on hand to sign the Ohio river valley water sanitation com­ pact. Ohio’s governor, Thomas J. Herbert, will he host and one of the signers. Others scheduled to sign the compact which will af­ fect 20-million people and 200,- 000 square miles of territory are: Ralph F. Gates, Indiana; Clar­ ence W. Meadows, West Virginia; Thomas E, Dewey, New York; Dwight H. Green, Illinois; Earle' C. Clements, Kentucky; James H. Duff, Pennsylvania; and Wil­ liam M. Tuck, Virginia. Tennessee’s governor, Jim Mc- cord, may also be on hand to watch the ceremonial sighing. Tennessee is a possible prospect for future signing of the docu­ ment. Hudson Biery, Cincinnati, in charge of arrangements for the event, said the conference was carefully scheduled between the Republican and Democratic na­ tional conventions, “ to insure a 100 per cent attendance by the governors,” Biery, who also heads the Ohio commission on stream pollution, further explained: “ The compact, approximately 14 years in the making, establish­ es a joint authority of the states involved for- the purpose of abat­ ing and preventing the. pollution of the Ohio river valley, pooling the powers of the states, yet pre- ierving their sovereignty. The significance of the compact is broad. It affirms the capacity of the states to handle important matters among themselves." Biery also pointed out, “ The Ohio river valley water sanita­ tion compact is probably the greatest cooperative effort ever undertaken by so many states to accomplish a task that modern trends might find in the hands of the federal government.” The Ohio River basin, which the compact will affect, covers approximately 200,000 square miles. Twenty million people live in the area. Within the basin there are 140 cities of more than 10,- 000 population.

Number 29 LossHeavyin Saturday Freak Hail Storm Although it lasted only a very few minutes Saturday afternoon, shortly after 3 o’clock, the hail storm that ripped through Cedar­ ville did damage estimated at more than $50,000, In the brief span of less than five minutes, hail stones ranging in Size from a walnut to a billiard ball, punched holes in roofs, shat­ tered windows, dented automo­ biles", broke neon signs and dam­ aged trees and shrubs. Practically every roof in town suffered from the pelting. General comment concerning the storm ran such as this: “ I’ve heard about hail storms like this but never could quite believe it. It’s one .of those once in a life­ time freaks.” A greenehouse owned by Earl Stitsworth had $250 worth of glass knocked out by the falling ice, and windows were broken in numerous homes. Dropping almost without warn­ ing, the storm began just outside the corporation limits on Route 72 and extended as far as a mile and a half on the opposite side of Cedarville on the road to James­ town. Hardly a mile in width, the storm did not hit Wilberforce. No one was reported injured seriously by the hail. Eugene Sal- lie, a Cedarville college student, suffered cuts about the body when the storm caught him and another student in swimming. In addition to the ovel-shaped hail which fell, inhabitants of the town reported slabs of ice more than three inches long, an inch thick aiul an inch wide dropped from the skies. A. E. Richards measured one of the slabs and found it to be four and a half inches long, two and a half inches thick and two and a half inches wide. Three of Gedarville’s churches also Were damaged. The United Presbyterian had nine stained glass windows damaged and the Methodist had two _windows knocked out, and the First Pres­ byterian had windows broken. Stores reported that two large show windows were broken and many neon signs broken. Carl Eagi'or,. r.ported his mo­ torcycle shop was damaged by the storm with larger hole's being punctured in the roof and damage to $150 worth of parts and acces­ sories. The Western Adjustment and Inspection company, representing the following insurance agencies: Anderson, Xenia; LeSourd, Xenia; Hartman, Cedarville; Little, Ce­ darville; McCorkell, Cedarville; Higham, Jamestown, and Stew­ art, Yellow Springs, will have a representative at the Cedarville Federal Savings and Lo$n asso­ ciation, June 28, 29; July 2, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13 and 14, to adjust hail damage losses. The adjustment company asks that estimates be presented. Bookmobile Not To Make Trip Greene county’s bookmobile re­ ceived an official invitation to at­ tend the American Library asso­ ciation convention in Atlantic City, N. J., last week, but local li­ brary officials decided to decline the honor. The invitation was extended by the Gerstenslager company, Woo­ ster firm contracted to build the bookmobile body. The American Library association asked the Wooster firm to exhibit some of its work and the latter suggested to Greene county library officials that they exhibit the bookmobile. The invitation was declined, however, because of the wear and tear of driving the vehicle ap­ proximately 1,500 miles and also because the trip would take the traveling library out of circula­ tion, Miss Ruth Dennis,-county li­ brarian, said.
