IT IS A SHAME that a modern city like Indianapolis should have 176 proved cases of rabies in dogs last year.

On three occasions recently, rabid dogs have been found on public school grounds and a numher of children were bitten. Rabies continues to be a serious threat to the children and pets of the community, the doctor explains. INDIAN" and Texas are the only states where such a large Incidence of rabies Is permitted. During the first three months of this year, there have been 600 heads of animals examined by the State Board of Health. They were from various parts of the state.

Half of them were found positive for rabies. Dr. L. E. Durney, state health commissioner, reports.

The film service is purchased by The Star and the News and will be distributed throughout the state by the Audio-Visual Center of Indiana University under the direction of Ernest Tie-mann, associate in circulation for the center. NEARLY HALF of the 48 states now have the "News Magazine of the Screen" in their schools as a regular current events feature.

It has received the praise of superintendents of schools wherever used.

"The gates will open early, at 8:30 a.m., and we will use evrry gate and track cross-over tn get the crowd in as fast as possible," Albert W. Bloemker, Speedway publicist, said.

Maj. Robert O'Neal, state police executive officer and chairman of the combined police traffic committee handling traffic at the track, said last night that: "Negligence on the part of the Speedway operators" was in part responsible for the four-mile traffic jam that piled up on Indianapolis' West Side. TRAFFIC on 16t.h Street from the Speedway gates to Capitol Avenue was bumper to bumper. Alternate routes also were jammed solidly lor a mile adjacent to the track. "Primary reason lor the tie-up was because Georgetown Road is under repair," Maj.

O'Neal said. "But the Speedway people agreed with us on Wednesday and again last Friday to open extra gates if needed. We called for opening of two more gates at 10 a.m. yesterday morning. They didn't open them until noon when the traffic wa almost completely out of control." Bloemker said the jam got underway because 1rark officials were "trying to give the drivers a break and let them get in some practice."

He pointed out that it was a long walk to the nearest gate and asked if he could just climb over the fence. The guard's reply was definite: "No!" WITHOUT ARGUMENT, Bayt stalled toward the gate, making a hike of nearly two blocks to reach Barton.

"Didn't you know who that was?" someone asked San. "That was the mayor of Indianapolis." "I didn't know it," replied Sanz. "But," he added stoutly, "it wouldn't have made any difference if I had."
