4>0G CAMPAIGN IS REQUESTED Eradication of Rabies Is Asked by Fort Brown Army Officials Cooperation ol civil health au- i thorities of Brownsville has been requested by Fort Brown medical department to aid in the eradica tion of does infected with rabies, according to a letter from Will C. Griffin, D. V. M , captain of veteri nary corps of Fort Brown. During the past year eight cases of rabies affecting dogs have been presented to the Fort Brown hos pital. and with the exception of three cases, all have been from the city of Brownsville. “Two of your citizens have been bitten and the child and another citizen are now undergoing treat ment,” Captain Griffin says in his letter. Existing army regulations call for the close cooperation of the Army medical department with the j civil health authorities, and the I prompt notification of these offi- | cials upon the discovery of any j communicable disease which is | ^likely to become an epidemic in Ml heir vicinity, it was explained. The ; idea of such notifications is that proper steps be taken in order to | eradicate the disease and adopt such control measures as are necessary. Owing to the prevalence of this camne disease in this locality and the necessity of its eradication, drastic steps should be taken, the local army physician pointed out. Vaccination of dogs has been re quested for protection, and state # laws now exist which call for such vaccination of every dog in a vicin ity in which rabies are known to be present, “There are various groups of peo ple in other sections of our coun try that are grasping every oppor tunity to spread the news of exist ence of dreaded animal communi cable diseases in the Valiev and communicate siich information to prospective residents of its exist ence,” Capt. Griffin continued. Owners of dogs which are being treated are Henrietta Price. S. A. Nietert and J. L. Kowalski Labor atory results received on th» Nci tert and Kowalski cases show that the persons were bitten and are undergoing treatment now.

The original investment was about $15,000 and today four busy Jitney-Jungle stores with a person nel of thirty capable well-trained EDINBURG MAN ESCAPES DEATH FREDERICKSBURG. Oct. 9—W —Death looked at Coy Tisdell, 28 year-old flyer of Edinburg, yester day. and decided to let him live Tisdell. flying a light, open-cockpit airplane in which he had made r forced landing on the fair ground: here, was attempting a short take ofl when the plane failed to gain altitude and caught in a web of high tension electrical wires. Thousands of volts of electricity crackled with blinding flashes about is plane for a few moments. The short circuit which was created caused an automatic switch at tnc plant to shut off the current. Tisdell remained quietly in the plane until rescued by linemen. He was unharmed. Tlsdell and Gus Manhart, also ot Edinburg and owner of the plane, were flying from Brownwood to San Antonio when >hey decided to land here at the fair grounds, fearing the plane's gasoline supply was low. Then they learned that a regular landing field was only two miles distant. Manhart remained on the ground in order to lighten the plane and Tisdell was attempting a tak^-of! from the short runway when the accident occurred. Glass is transparent because its molecular structure is such that it I>crmits the light rays to pass through without regular defusion of the light. WALTER GALLOWAY, C:z. Treas. and Ass t. Gen. Mgr. grocery and market men attest the popularity of this institution which supplies the necessities of life dally to thousands of Valley families. Jit ney-Jungle also maintains its own warehouse and their investment to day totals over $75,000.

Nick McCarty and every member of the Jitney-Jungle organization are loyal Valley boosters. Last year the Jitney-Jungle stores featured a demonstration of Valley products in ail their stores and Valley grown products are always given prefer ence over products offered from the other sections of the country as Nick McCarty and all of his store managers sincerely believe that the vegetables and fruit produced in our Valley are superior to any other brands consistent with prices offer ed Celebrating their third anniver sary in the Valley, all four of the Jitney-Jungle stores located In Har lingen.
