The Newberry Sun Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Nov. 25, 1970—PAGE 5 AWAY HE GOES — Tailback Donald Garrick on the Newberry College squad gets away from Samford Bull dogs and makes a run for 73 yards for one of the five touchdowns the Indians made Saturday in defeating the visitors 35-21. Garrick chalked up 153 yards in rushing during the game to become the first Indian to rush for over 1,000 yards in one season. His total rushing yard age now stands at 1,073—with the Thanksgiving Day clash with Presbyterian College remaining on the sched ule. Pet skunk need rabies shots Almost 2,000 pet skunks and 50,000 cats in South Carolina need a shot against rabies, a Columbia veterinarian said to day. Dr. Raymond C. Elam said that these pets along with countless foxes and raccoons have never been immunized and they need shots as much as dogs do. “Perhaps skunks need immu nizations the most because they can be rabid without having any of the symptoms,” Dr. Elam commented. “Personally I re commend that they be inocu lated every six months.” Dr. Elam said there may be more than 2,000 skunks who have been adopted by South Carolinians. “Some live on farms, but many are in cities and suburbs. “South Carolinians are accus tomed to having their dogs vac cinated every year, but few peo ple think about their other pets. At three dollars per shot for each pet, rabies immunizations are the least expensive insu rance program of any kind,” Dr. Elam said. The S. C. Veterinary Medical Association and State Board of Health are promoting passage of some amendments to the state’s Rabies Control Act. Changes to the law would re quire people to have all their pets—rather than dogs only- immunized once a year. According to Dr. Arthur F. DiSalvo of the Board of Health, South Carolina has not had any laboratory confirmed cases a- mong domestic animals since 1963. “And there hasn’t been any evidence of infection in the wildlife of the state in recent years,” said Dr. DiSalvo who is chief of the Bureau of Labora tory Services and Research. “But compare this with Geor gia which reported 118 confirm ed cases in 1969: 103 raccoons, 5 bats, 3 foxes, and 5 skunks. North Carolina had only 4 re ported cases, but Tennessee re corded 132 and Florida 178. “This is why we cannot be complacent in South Carolina,” Dr. DiSalvo commented. For the last ten years, more cases of rabies have occurred in wild animals than in domes tic ones. “Rabies could be increasing in our wildlife, and we would not be aware of it until it spil led over into the domestic ani mal population. People would be next and since the disease in human beings is always fa tal, we should be very care ful,” said the board physician. “There are two significant things that we can do,” he said. “We can make sure all our pets get a shot, and we can examine our wildlife on a syst ematic basis.” From 1909 to 1959, at least 79 South Carolinians died from the “mad dog” disease. Al though there has not been a human case in the state since 1959, more than 800 persons were given anti-rabies vaccine last year. These figures prove that ra bies is still a serious problem. Dr. DiSalvo and Dr. Elam are calling on all pet owners to join the fight against rabies and they urge people to call their doctor immediately if they are bitten by an animal.
