Hunting season has started and Dr. Charles ‘L. Wilbar, Jr., State Secretary of Health issued a warn- ing against one of the hazards of hunting—tularemia, better known as rabbit fever. Tularemia, primarily a disease of rabbits and rodents, is one of the diseases easily transmitted from animals to man, Dr. Wilbar stated. The disease can be acquired through handling infected animals, by eating improperly cooked meat from in- fected animals, by drinking water contaminated by infected animals or being bitten by fleas, ticks or lice that have fed on tularemia-infected animals, Dr. Wilbar said. Dr. Ernest J. Witte, chief, Vet- serinary Public Health Section, nrc) lvania Health Department, reports that the illness starts three to five days after the germs have entered the human body and that its early signs are headache, fever and chills. He advises that a phy- sician “be consulted if these signs appear. . Convalescence is long, ac- cording to Dr. Witte. “Hunters ‘and trappers are not the only ones exposed to the danger of tularemia,”” Dr. Witte asserts. “Butchers and housewives who skin ‘and clean infected rabbits can get the disease,” According to Dr. Witte, tularemia germs can enter, the body through small cuts or scratches on arms and hands and even can penetrate un- broken skin. - He recommends that “SPECIAL!

You'll harass thon” gloves be worn when handling all game animals, and that if blood washed off quickly. He also advises that gloves be disinfected thorough- ly after each use. Sick or. “lazy” caught easily by dogs should be avoided, the veterinarian advises. Rabbits having any yellowish-white - spats on their livers or other in- ternal organs should not be eaten, as these. are indications of tulare- mia. ~ Healthy rabbits should be cooked thoroughly before eating. Dr.’ Witte cautions hunters and others in the field against picking up or approaching sick or injured animals because of the danger of being bitten with a possibility of rabies resulting. “Any person bitten by an animal should seek treatment from a phy- sician immediately,” Dr. Witte said. | wild animal, a veterinarian should | be consulted.” Dr. Witte advocates the vaccin- ation -of all dogs and cats against rabies as a protective measure. He stresses the importance of anti- rabid vaccinations for hunting dogs because of their excessive exposure to wild animals which may be rabid.

Caracas Has i Nice Climate, But Not A Patch On Back Mountain Caracas has a nice climate, says a-young Creole Oil em- ployee home for a month’s leave from Venezuela, but it’s not a patch on the Back Mountain. Who wants summer weather all the year round, not cool, not hot, just monotonous? And, he says, Caracas is said to be the most expensive country in the world to live in. i Charles Cooke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Cooke, Fernbrook, does not find it so expensive as a married man would. It is the families with a number of children who find the going rough, encountering high rentals, high food prices, and ex- pensive clothing. A home in a good location starts at around $300 per month rental, and the term ‘‘un- furnished” means just exactly that, with not even electrical fixtures in- cluded, and tenants expected to bring their own light bulbs. Everything flown in by air from Miami is sky-high, a loaf of bread ninety cents for an example. On the other hand, tropical fruits are cheap, and gasoline around twelve cents a gallon. Families are advised to bring everything they will need for a year, including clothing and equip- ment. Recently, supermarkets have eased the strain for the 45,000 tem- porary residents from the United States. The close to 2,000;000 native inhabitants purchase their food for the most part in small stores or from sidewalk vendors. Indians in the interior raise their own native vegetables and fruit. Recently, the hot-dog has invaded Caracas, and has become very popular, along with hot roasted peanuts, both items handled by pushcart vendors. 0il Is King Oil is- king in Caracas, and in fact all over” Venezuela: Lake Maracaibo, 200 miles from Caracas, and at sea-level, is the main source of supply. A tre- mendous lake, brackish from the sea .which reaches it through a nar- row dredged channel, fed by fresh water rivers, is located over one of the richest oil fields in the world. Engineers drive casings down to the alluvial mud, 110 feet below the surface in places, and then drill, down through bedrock 10,000 feet or more, to where the oil is located, Freighters ‘and tankers ‘use| the! | reach the narrow entryway to’ storage tanks, and convey ‘the crude oil to refineries, from a lake which was once the rendezvous of pirates. Creole Oil (Company, affiliated with ‘Standard Oil, is the largest producer, with Dutch Shell Oil Company second. There are many smaller oil companies, with only a fraction of .the production of the major operators. The City of Caracas ‘Caracas itself, 3,000 feet above the steaming coast line, is tem- perate in climate. It is reached by a four-lane super highway blasted places through solid rock. A half hour conveys a motorist from the coast where the planes and ships land their passengers, to another the former Oliver property on Lake world, from an atmosphere where Street and will convert it shortly | |it is difficult to breathe without into a two-family apartment with real estate offices on the lower level. EE SO MANY FOLKS benefit of air-conditioning, to a paradise of climate. Traffic is wild, with Chevies and Fords competing for place with Volkswagons and tiny foreign cars of every make under the sun. Italians have been emigrating to Venezuela in great numbers. There is a polyglot population, German, Indian, Spanish, negroe, American, ‘| English, and Spanish. Ignorance is rampant, only 25 per cent of the population having even the fundamentals of an edu- cation. Most of the people are very poor. The middle class is beginning to. form a nucleus, but is in the great minority. There are very few wealthy people, comparatively speaking. There is plenty of electrical cur- rent, but the city itself is on a fifty cycle current, while everything else in the country operates on sixty cycles. This poses problems to people with electric clocks and record players. Hedge-hopping commercial planes afford convenient access to almost anywhere. Half an hour away by car there is swimming, but no modern beaches. : “The Interior,” says i Mid “is liberally {translated to mean Rain Forests. a everything outside of Caracas.” The oil companies maintain camps in isolated areas where single men are housed, and exploration units employ trailers for housing. To the south of Caracas are wide, rolling plains, and farther south the To the west are the Andes. Coffee and tobacco are important crops of the interior. Products are protected by high tariff, which leads to smuggling. Politics runs along the hot tracks of the tropics, where tempers are easily roused and revolutionary activities form a constant under- current. It takes seven hours to fly to New York or Miami, and a round trip adds up to $350. Travellers must show passports and evidence of in- oculation against typhoid fever, among other communicable diseases. Charles Himself Charles, .a graduate of Dallas Township high school before spend- ing three years in the Navy and at- ‘tending Carnegie Tech, is thirty years old. y His years of service took him to the Aleutian Islands as well as places in Texas and Tennessee. When he finished his stretch, he remembered that Westinghouse had told him to get in touch if he planned on going to college. He took a competitive course with that company after graduating from high school, and made high marks. Westinghouse remembered, and pulled strings to get him into Car- negie Tech, where he specialized in electronics, for which he had laid the foundations in the Navy. During his last semester, he sud- denly became interested, through an enthusiastic member of the faculty, in geology. Carter Oil - Company, which furnishes overseas personnel and equipment for Standard Oil Com- pany, was ‘on ‘the lookout for young men who were interested in what lies beneatn : the surface of the earth, and snapped up the young senior. Being broken in with the com- pany involved travelling from Wyo- ming to Missouri, Louisiana, Mon- tana, and back to Wyoming, then to Venezuela, where he had to take an intensive course in the language before being assigned. He was sent out on field trips, but for the most part he has been in Caracas itself, on lendlease from Carter Oil Company. The company gives its employees a Tull month's vacation a year, ex- clusive of time spent in flying back and forth. It once allowed time for taking a leisurely ocean trip home and back via Grace Line, but nowadays flying is the accepted transportation. Charles has been at home for ten days, enjoying the rabbit hunting season with hig father. Two weeks from now, he will be on his way back to Venezuela for another year. Charles has his roots firmly plant- ed in the Back Mountain. His grandfather, for whom he was nam- ed, the original Charles Cook, sur- veyed most of the land hereabouts, and his name appears on countless deeds.
