: PAGE TWO _ Harrisburg Round: Tr "BY CAPITOL NEWS SERVICE Harrisburg— “Activity inthe State Capitol during the past week has centered around the political campaign which is scheduled to wind up next week when: Pennsylvania voters will select their next Governor and other State-wide officers at the polls November 5. Various depart- ments are busy mow issuing booklets and reports showing their accom- plishments. On the non-political front, Secre- tary of Agriculture Miles Horst warned that thé removal of price controls ‘on meat will not mean an immediate supply of meat for the average Pennsylvanians din- ner table. He cautioned that sup- ply lines are empty and that high prices are expected to prevail for some time yet. Heart disease, which has con- sistently led the field of . causes of deaths in Pennsylvania, is close- ly followed by cancer, according to the State Department of Health which reported that for the month of June 1,107 deaths were attribu- . ted to this disease. Total ‘deaths for the month from all causes num- bered 8,250. The State Department of Agri- culture reported that the average value of milk cows in Pennsylvania has now sky-rocketed to an all- time high of $187 per cow—a jump of $37 over a year ago. At the same time the Department called attention ' to the fact that there are 8,000 fewer milk cows in Penn- sylvania, The late Dr. William Mather Lewis, first’ director of Selective Service in Pennsylvania, was pre- sented with the Medal of Merit posthumously on Monday for extra- ordinary performance of duty. The award was given to his widow. The State Department of = Agri- culture said that poultry feed prices, following month of September, while the price of eggs received by producers reached 56.2 cents a -dozen—high- est for the month since 1926. Egg production itself dropped three per cent under that of August. An expanded and accelerated public health program for Penn- sylvania during the next two years was forseen by Dr. Harry W. Weest, State Secretary of Health, who said that during the past year ap- proximately. $8,000,000 was ear- marked for public health work in Pennsylvania. Expansion was in- dicated. along lines of ‘tuberculosis treatment, rheumatic heart disease, public health education and school health programs. Enactment of a highway zoning law to: curtail indiscriminate erec- tion. of advertising billboards, and the elimination of roadside junk yards and -other unsightly scenes, is being strongly supported by the Pennsylvania - Roadside: ‘Council. ls An assertion by John: S. Rice, Democratic candidate for Governor, to the effect: that the State De- partment of Agriculture was being operated by ‘horse and buggy methods” drew a wrathful retort from. Secretary Horst that the as- sertion. was an ‘‘ineffective rant on the part of a candidate who knows little ahout Penfisylvenia agricul- ture.” : : Sod in an effort to eliminate the illegal and out-of-season kill- ing of game due to the shortage of meat, the State Game Commis- sion has ordered District Game Pro- tectors and’ their deputies on a 24-hour vigilance basis. POET'S CORNER The following poem is submitted in memory of George S. Race who was killed in an airplane accident on October 26, 1944 while serving with the Air Corps. HIGHER FLIGHT God sent you a son, a treasure sub- ; lime; God lent you a son, for just a Shirt time, To love and to teach a faith that is true, To point out the way for work he must do. God measures mot life in terms of a span, But in deeds of service to our fellow man. Your son had courage and faith he could give; Your son would die that others might live! He has finished the work God gave him to do; His deeds were great, though his years were few. His trumpet has sounded, his call to arrive— son is gloriously, alive! Your greatly The growth ‘that he made while here on this earth [Prepared him to enter that far greater birth. God lent you a son, with a vision of Light To follow the ‘beam on that great Higher Flight. —Mignon E.

Making a ‘living out of recreation, broth- ers and sisters, that dis no slouch of an idea. © And when you get on the ‘“‘andy-over’ .or “3-cornered-cat’” or “story itell- ing” Recreation.

At a big convention in our town, they discussed the idea of extending planned recreation to even the old spavins. Talked of making the nation Recrea- tion conscious. Discussed how to use schoo] children with placards—like pickets—to put over the sale with the taxpay- ers. In short, the whole idea was how to keep the recreation idea = rolling—and everybody ' stay on the payroll. What this land of the free needs, is to go to work, Playin’ has been overdone. There is already too much loitering— young and old. Promotin’ more play is cockeyed. Idle hands stir up devilment. Fewer Rec- reation Conclaves—and more officers and patrolmen on the highways—would make more sense. When lawlessness is over the land, you gotta do more than pop-off at a banquet. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA. — Health Topics By Dr, F. Budd Schooley = TULAREMIA Tularemia is a specific, infectious disease that occurs in animals and is transmitted to human beings. It is called “rabbitt fever’ since wild rabbits are the greatest source of infection and cause more than.90 per cent of cases. The presence of cuts or scratches increases the danger of infection, though an ab- rasion of the skin is not necessary to contract the disease. The infection is transmitted in nature from animal to animal by bloodsucking insects, namely the rabbit tick, the wood tick, the rab- bit louse and the rabbit flea. The organisms live through the winter in the ticks and are transmitted through ‘the eggs to the mext gen- eration of ticks. Transmission of tularemia to man occurs by the bite of infected ticks, from bites or scratches of infected animals, by contamination of the hands or eyes from handling and dressing infected rabbits, by eat- ing infected rabbits that have not been thoroughly cooked and by drinking contaminated water. Animals infected with the disease show enlargement of the glands and numerous white inflamed areas studded over the liver and: spleen. The spotted condition of the spleen and liver lis characteristic of the disease in infected rabbits. Hunters should avoid wild rabbits that are sluggish or refuse to run. The disease may not develop for a variable period after exposure to infection, from three days to three weeks. The infected area of the skin becomes swollen, painful and inflamed. The tissue breaks down discharging a necrotic core or plug, leaving a deep ulceration which is painful and persists for several weeks. The glands become swollen near the point of entry of the in- fection. The constitutional reac- tion is shown by chillness, aching bodily pains, fever, weakness and loss of weight. Recurring chills and prostration occur during the active stage of the disease which lasts from two to three weeks. care should be taken to wasn hands with soap and water after handling rabbits, even though the hands merely touch the fur. The wearing of gloves gives better pro- tection while skinning or dressing rabbits. The hands should be kept away from the eyes, and any cuts or abrasions should be disinfected ‘immediately. Rabbit meat should be thoroughly cooked to destroy any possible infection. Ringnecks Released One hundned and enty-five ringneck pheasants—>#03 of them hens—were [rel last week by Commission, Founded Well Great Man Saw Need For United Colonies William Penn, whose birthday was celebrated last Thursday, was a great man, honorable, tolerant, peace-loving and constructive. His whole life was an expression of far-seeing vision and self-immola- tion on the altar of righteousness. He suffered for the sake of his con- science, strove for justice, and founded a haven for the oppressed of all lands. In the establishment of Penn Day, the people of Pennsylvania seek to do honor to the memory of the great founder of the Commonwealth whose principles motivated the Holy Experiment and the fact that every worthy thing that Pennsylvania has done in the past or that it may do in the future had its inception in the ideals of the founder. Pennsylvania had its beginning, when, on October 28, 1682, Penn* with 100 emigrants landed at the site of New Castle, where he was received by the early settlers and the Commissioners of the Duke of York who delivered to him the key of the fort, and “one turf with a twig upon it, a porringer with river water and soil” in token of owner- ship. The next day he went ‘to Upland, whose name he changed to Chester and a few days later Penn stepped ashore in Philadel- phia, : Thus, the Holy Experiment, as Penn called his venture in the New World, had its beginning. When for the first time Penn threw his infant province open to the men of all nations and of all creeds, there responded to his invitation men who were broad in their con- ception of liberty and who not only desired freedom for themselves, but were willing to concede it to others. It was a unique attempt to realize a perfect democracy and ranks among the most notable efforts in human government. Penn died July 30, 1718 and was buried in Jordans Cemetery near Buckinhamshire, England. With his death, the most progres- sive character of his time passed away. The brotherly love that he advocated is accepted more in theory than in action even at the present time.. He foresaw the ad- vantages of a union of the colonies three quarters of a century before the Declaration of Independence. An essay of his published in 1693 sug- gested much the same policy as that expressed in the United Na- tions Council: “Now if the sovereign princes of Europe would, for the love of THE DALLAS POST “More than a mewspaper, a community institution” ESTABLISHED 1889 A mon-partisan liberal progressive newspaper pub- lished every Friday morning at the Dallas Post plant Lehman Avenue, Dallas Pennsylvania.
