Chester County Rabies Threats Said Lessened Reduction of the main threat to spreading of rabies in Chester County through trapping of 134 foxes by the State Game Com mission and elimination of 56 stray and unlicensed dogs by the State Department of Agriculture and the Game Commission was announced today. “We believe the rabies epide; mic has run its course,” declared Agriculture Secertary William L. Henning, '(but every effort will be continued to keep the situa tion under control”. Not a single case of rabies has been reported from Chester Co unty since the Department esta blished a 60-day dog law quaran tine on April 13.-he said. “To keep the area clean,” he emphasized, “we need the continued cooperation of dog owners by maintaining com plete control of their dogs at all times. Also, we need the complete cooperation of all local police officers.” i Last year Chester County led the State with 117 reported cases of rabies, 75 of them in foxes, he pointed out. Between January 1 and April 13 of this year 32 cases were found in animals, 21 of them m foxes The nuarantine continues until June 9. Dr Logan J Bennett, Execu tive Director of the State Game Commission, declared ten exper ienced trappers “did a wonder ful job” in the three weeks spent forested areas of the 38 town ships under quarantine. “While the basic cause has been greatly reduced the menace of rabies still remains and we shall continue a careful watch in Chester and neighboring coun ties,” he asserted. Dr. H A Milo, director of the Bureau of Animals Industry, De oartment of Agriculture, said four dogs law enforcement of two men each combed the county for 10 days before establishment of the Quarantine. They gathered in 42 stray and unlicensed dogs and the game protectors account ed for 14 more. “The fact that no cases have been reported from the county in four weeks is encouraging,” he said. “The most serious threat that remains is from dogs. Rabies can spread again and the menace to humans would be far greater from dogs than from foxes. Dogs that have not been vaccinated against rabies should be vac cinated at once. Under the quar antine regulations all dogs must be licensed and under control of their masters at all times 'Dogs running at large invite trouble.” . f / i, i -M- -t.
