PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1959 Rabies Clinic Begins April 7 The 1959 rabies clinic for New berry County will begin on April 7th and continue through April 27, with Veterinarians Dr. Low- man and Dr. Lide conducting the clinic in cooperation with the lo cal Sanitation Officer. Each year at this time an ex tensive drive is held to control rabies in Newberry County. Ra bid dogs cause human suffering and livestock losses each year. During 1958, 119 animals were de finitely diagnosed as having ra bies in South Carolina, and this resulted in numerous persons hav ing to take the anti-rabic treat ment. Most exposures to rabies is by persons coming in contact with rabid dogs. This can be prevented only by having all dogs vaccinated against rabies and keeping stray dogs under control. The fee for vaccination will be $1.00 per dog. State law requires yearly vaccination of all dogs four months of age and older by a lic ensed veterinarian. The weekly schedule for the ra bies clinics will be published in The Sun, beginning next week. Guernsey Sale Is Held Here By MRS. A. H.

Her favorite doll has slightly rumpled hair but it feels soft and silky to Leah. Besides the doll has lots of clothes—crispy cottons, feather-soft silk, scratchy wool and cool nylon. Leah likes to cuddle her close. Sometimes she bursts into a great big laugh with her doll because it’s just plain fun to be alive! Leah is just like any other little girl with one exception; she is to tally blind because she lost both eyes to cancer. The people of New berry County contributed funds to get her two pretty blue-gray glass eyes so she will look more natural. Leah doesn’t know they are blue- gray because she’ll never see Miss Jo Ellen Pettit of the Green Acres Farm in Gaffney, sold her animal to Nicholas Longshore of Saluda for $415.

Mostly these are being built by present producers who are expand ing. We had some visitors in the county recently interested in our poultry operations. A group of about 30 folks from Stokes County, N. C. visited James Sanders, Herman Pitts, and other producers around Silverstreet. These North Carolina people were looking for a new farm enterprise for their community. They’d heard of the good job being done by our Silverstreet folks so they came to see for themselves. They were quite impressed with the low-cost housing and the high production our folks are getting. So you see, when you do a good job of some thing, word gets around. We hope our egg producers will continue to succeed in this specialized busi ness. It takes a lot of “know-how” in that business. Something Unusual We saw snow last week in Ne>v- berry County. Not on the ground, but in Eugene Lominick’s deep- freezer. “Gene” had saved a pan lull from the big snow we had m November. Something else unusual Gene has is close to 2 acres of the best looking strawberry plants you ever saw. Starting with a few rows several years ago he has grad ually increased to his present ac reage. Every foot of his strawber ry field is mulched with sawdust and there is plenty of fertilizer- down to produce many delightful, juicy, red berries. If only we don’t have much more freezing weather, Gene should make a good crop tKs spring. Just another example of something unusual in our county, but which can be done if we’re willing to learn how and willing to put forth the effort.
