May Queen is
Camber Able
Camber Able, a Newberry
College senior from Ridgeville,
will continue a campus tradi
tion started in 1935 when she is
crowned the College's Queen of
May on Sunday, May 3 in the
campus quadrangle.
Her maid of honor will be
Ann Huger, also a senior and
runner-up in the student ballot
ing to choose the queen of the
spring festival.
Miss Able, a sociology major,
was a May Queen attendant in
1969 and a Garland Girl in 1968
and was a Homecoming Queen
attendant last fall. She is also
a member of Kappa Delta Sor
ority.
Miss Huger from Sullivan’s
Isand is an elementary educa
tion major. She was an attend
ant to the 1967 May Queen dur
ing her freshman year, is the
treasurer of the senior class,
and is also a member of Kappa
Delta sorority.
The colorful pageant had its
beginnings 35 years ago when
Elma Jordan (now Mrs. Clar
ence Compton of Lexington)
was crowned the first May
Queen.
This year’s festival will honor
the past May Queens and the
mothers of all of the students,
according to Hattie Belle Lester,
dean of women at Newberry
College and faculty chairman
of the event.
The spring festival will begin
with the Sunday morning ser
vices in the Wiles Chapel, fol
lowed by a luncheon in the col
lege cafeteria. A fanfare of
trumpets will open the formal
ceremony as Queen Camber,
her maid of honor and her court
of 16 attendants and 16 garland
girls are presented to President
A.G.D. Wiles and the College
family.
Following the crowning of the
Queen, the festival will end
with a May Pole Dance, musi
cal selections, and a reception
honoring the royal court.
Rabies rare in
South Carolina
Whatever happened to rabies?
The “mad dog” disease that is
always fatal to humans and for
which 4,000 South Carolinians
were treated back in 1935 has
almost disappeared. The State
Board of Health reported today
that there has not been a hum
an case since 1959.
Dr. Arthur F. DiSalvo of the
State Board of Health pointed
out that South Carolina is one
of three states which reported
no cases of rabies during 1968,
the last year for which national
statistics are available. Hawaii
and Rhode Island are the other
two.
“The best reason for the ab
sence of rabies in South Caro
lina,” said Dr. DiSalvo, chief
of the Bureau of Laboratory
Services and Research, “is the
Rabies Control Act of 1950 pass
ed by the General Assembly.’
This law requires annual vacci
nation of dogs.
A new law was passed by
the legislature last year. It
gives the Board of Health the
discretion, with the advice of
the S. C. Veterinary Medical
Association, to determine whe
ther rabies immunizations
should be given annually or
every three years. The Board
plans to continue the one year
requirement because neighbor
ing states are still reporting
plenty of cases among domestic
animals and wildlife. '
“We have not had any labor
atory confirmed cases in dom
estic animals lately—not since
1963, and there hasn't been any
evidence of any infection in the
wildlife of the State in recent
years. But compare this with
Georgia which reported 83 con
firmed cases in 1968: 59 rac
coons, 13 bats, five foxes and
one skunk. North Carolina had
13 cases including eight foxes.
This is why we can’t be com
placent in South Carolina.”
The State Board of Health
Laboratory in Columbia exam
ines more than 500 animal brain
specimens every year.
“We would like to examine
the wildlife on a systematic bas
is,” Dr. DeSalvo said. “Foxes
and skunks in the northern part
of the State and foxes and rac
coons in the southeastern por
tions should be included. Bats
from anywhere in South Caro
lina would also be a worthwhile
study as they constituted 11 per
cent of the wildlife rabies re
ported in the nation during 1968.
’Rabies could be increasing
in our wildlife and we would
not be aware of this until it
reached such proportions as to
spill over into the domestic ani
mal population. Since rabies in
human beings is always fatal,
it would be foolish to wait be
fore a surveillance program is
instigated.”
