Gene Tunney Has Hereford Herd At Star Meadow “The Golden Boy of the Gold en Age” now presides as a gentleman farmer over 50 head of commercial Hereford cattle on his 250-acre estate in the roll ing hills of Connecticut As the master of Star Mea dow Farm north .of Stamford, James Joseph (Gene) Tunney has added new lustre with age to the “Golden Boy” . Crown bestowed on him three decades ago when he won and defended the title of heavy weight boxing champion of the world in two 10-round deci sions over Jack Dempsey. Handsome, 58-year-old Tunney a successful financier and devoted farmer today strides across his pastures with .ti same self-assurance and deter mination that he displayed when he toppled the idol of the box ing world. Between his financial. opera ,tions in .New York City and his periodic travels abroad, the former champ has sandwiched in enough time with bis Herefords to spark the incentive to some day own a quality herd of regis tered Whitefaces. The commercial Herefords have teen thriving on his lush pastures since 1946. it was that year he sold another farm on the eastern shore of Maryland and marketed his cattle of another breed be cause, he says, “they were just too wild.” “My main reason for changing to Herefords,” Tunney says, “is because they’re such good na ■tured cattle and gentle to handle both in the pasture and in the feedlot.” In preparing for the day he will switch from commercial to purebred Herefords, Tunney and his farm -manager, Herman Zu ern, have put a crew to work removing a forest of ash, maple and oak from several acres for ‘future pasture land. Cattleman Tunney retains a few head of calves each year for Jtis own feedlot and home consumption. He learned a long time ago the value of ' good beefsteak as a ibody builder as well as maintainer. And Jbe has maintained him self well as proven by his 210 ’ pounds, roughly 20 more than > he carried against Dempsey ' for their second fight in 1927. As the retired champ outlines his -plans for bis future in the cattle business, he convinces you that he will put -the same type of perfectionism in his herd as he displayed in the ring, in his mastery of Shakespeare and ,Shaw. and in his life that has made him a pillar of manhood in, both the .athletic and business world.

Rabies, unlike most other dis eases, when it occurs in hu mans, almost always causes death. In' addition, no satisfac tory treatment is known for ♦ persons who develop this dis ease. Rabies can however, be prevented in humans by giv ing rabies vaccine within a short time after a person has been bitten by a rabid animal. However, since rabies vaccine has at times been known to produce paralysis in humans It is used only after there is reas onable suspicion or proof that the biting animal had rabies. The most satisfactory method of determining if a dog has rab ies is to confine him for 10 days. If he has it he will usually die before the ten days are up. If the dog is killed after having bit ten someone the head should be removed and sent to the state laboratory for examination. The head must be kept at a low tem perature after being removed. Because the laboratory examina tion is difficult and often time consuming, killing the dog should be avoided if possible.

Care should be taken in handling any of these animals when suspected of rabies, because the saliva con tains the rabies virus. It is pointed out by Dr„ Davis that if you get bitten by a dog, wash the wound immedi ately with soap and water and then have the bite treated by your family physician. Medical .attention is essential in pre venting rabies, as well as lock jaw which may result from any bite or other puncture wound. If the dog is yours confine him immediately. If the dog is not your own, find out who the owner is and tell your physi cian. He in turn will inform the District Medical Office, and someone will be sent out from that office to visit the owner and ask him to coniine his dog and report the death of the dog as well as any abnormal symptoms. To avoid all these dangers, worries and possible expenses. Dr. Davis suggests you take your dog to a local veterinarian and have him vaccinated each year against rabies. Experience has shown that if 75 per cent of the dogs are vaccinated against rab ies, the disease will not occur among dogs in that area. 13 E F= -ss
