For the protection of your

your dogs, Dr. Robert Hasskarl,
city health officer, urges all
dog owners to have their pets
vaccinated against rabies next
week. The vaccination pro-
gram last year was quite suc-
cessful, the doctor said, and
there were no rabid dogs in the
city during 1954. The drive
this year is being sponsored by
the City Health Department in
co-operation with the Wash-

and the local veterinarians.
Vaccination times and places
