"Dogs running at large are not the responsibility of the health department until they bite someone.

When they do bite someone, it is the responsibility or the health department to see they are securely tied and confined until it is definitely known that they do not have rabies," Dr. B. D. Blackwelder, director of the county health department, said today. "All dogs that are bitten by known rabid dogs must be killed or confined securely for at least six weeks.

This is an obligation of the health department to see that It is strictly adhered to. This must be done regardless of whether the dog has been vaccinated or not," he declared. "Dogs running at large often create a nuisance and this Is a responsibility of city officials," he added.

Wall Street Wizard Found Innocent NEW YORK, July 21 (IF) A new chapter has been written in the saga of Serge Rubinstein, the controver sial international financier who started life as the son of a financier for the last Russian czar. Rubinstein, once convicted of draft dodeinir. tearful hparH fpHprnl court Jury acquit him yesterday on cnarges or mail fraud and securities law violations. If the jury had convicted him on all the counts in two indictments, the 43 -year-old financier would have faced a maximum of 20 years in Jail and $30,000 in fines.

The verdict after two hours' deliberation, was greeted by cheers and applause from friends of Rubinstein in the courtroom, forcing Federal Judge Charles Dewey to order the room cleared. Rubinstein rushed to the Jury box to thank the eight men and four women Jurors, Later he told newsmen: "I am a great believer In American Justice. I believe that the Jurors expressed that high principle. During the trial, which lasted 20 court days, the government accused Rubinstein of swindling investors out of $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 by rig gtng common stock of Panhandle Producing and Refining company through false and misleading state ment regarding its prospects. For Rubinstein, the trial was the latest In financial affairs on four continents that have built up a reputed $5,000,000 personal fortune.

His father, Dmitri, fled to Paris when Rubinstein was 10 years old. Securities were sewn hi the lining of the boy't clothes. After studies In economics In Eng land, Rubinstein went to Paris to help his brother In a banking bust ness. In 1935, at the age of 27, Ru blnsteln was expelled from France by then Premier Pierre Laval, who said the emigre's speculations en dangered the franc. Rubinstein came to the U.S.

In 1038, and soon became known as the "boy wonder" of Wall Street, But following World War II, he was convicted of draft dodging and sent to a federal penitentiary for two years. He said he feared this conviction might lnflnenre the Jurors in their deliberations yesterday on the Pan handle case. However, a woman Juror remarked: "None of us would allow his conviction for draft dodging to affect our Judgment on the facts In this case." YUGOSLAV STREET NAMES KEEP CHANGING BELGRADE (P) It's little wonder that Yugoslavs these days hardly know what to call home. Back In prewar years, the better streets of the country's cities and villages wpre named for former kings. Then Germany's legions marched in.

King Al-eksander Boulevard became Hitler Strasse. Then came war's end, Germany's defeat, liberation for Yugoslavia with Bovlet help. Down toppled the Adolf Hitler street corner signs. Up went those re-baptlzlng the streets to commemorate the glory of Stalin and his Red army marshals. Then, in 1948, came the split between Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia and the Russian-led Cominform.

Once again, the sign painters had work to do. Slowly but surely, the names of streets honoring Stalin and the Russians are being renamed back, curiously enough, to the names they had before the war. Pity the post office clerks and the cab drivers. CHURCH ACTIVITIES The W. M.

Phono 3500 Continental Oil Company has completed official tests at the John Cameron No. 1, Sec. 36-10N-1E, In Madison county, to establish Mississippi's first production from the Hosston Gravels zone of the Lower Cretaceous formation. The well flowed at the rate of 209 barrels of 38.0 degree gravity oil and 78 barrels of salt water per day through 1264 inch choke with a flowing tubing pressure of 650 pounds per square inch. Production is from the Upper three feet of a 12-foot section of saturated tand and gravel between 10.5AO and feet Bait water production was due to the fact that no definite Impermeable barrier existed between oil and water sands.

Several weeks ago this test creat ed considerable excitement when sour gas (hydrogen sulphide) was produced while testing the Smack-over Lime formation below 14,000 feet; however, laboratory analyses established a 93 4 per cent carbon dioxide content for this product which made untenable possibilities of completing the well as a commercial sulphur producer. The well was drilled on a "block" of approximately 16.000 acres which was leased by Continental after much detailed seismic exploration. Due to this fact. It seems feasible that additional drilling in the near future will be forthcoming.

Boyle's Notebook SNAKE MONEY BY A WAYSIDE ROAD By HAL BOYLE RAPID CITY, S. Snakes and people are iixe most relatives.

They have a lot in common but they often don get along well together. Earl Brockelsby, a 35-year-old war veteran, has found, however, that people are still more eager to see snakes than snakes are to see people. And he has made a profitable career by introducing them to each other. Here on the edge of the Black Hills where dinosaurs used to ramble and tourists now roam through petrified forests and hot dog stands he has built the largest collection of reptiles in America. "People have a natural interest in reptiles." he said.

"Even those most terrified of them like the tnrui or seeing them." He started his Biacs huis reptue gardsn in 1936 with $400 loaned to him by a reluctant Banner. Editor's note: In 1936 all bankers were reluctant. With the $400 he managed to gather 100 snakes. He went out into the hills and caught most of them himself. He put them in a hut to small that even today it wouldn't sell for more than $10,000 if it were next to an army camp.

He uses, it now as a kitchen. Brockelsby didn't nick anybody. Only 4,000 people stopped that first year to see his snakes. But in this world a smart man can parlay anything. Earl did It with snakes.

Year after year he added more reptiles. He advertised. He began selling souvenirs. The war slowed him somewhat. He spent nearly three yars in the army, mostly overseas.

But last year people paid their way Into his snake gardens. And today? Earl tells his story slowly and chooses his words, because he feels he doesn't need to brag. "We have 1.300 reptiles, more than any public or private roo In this country," he said. "And we have the largest souvenir store In America." It stocks hundreds of Items rang-Ing from Japanese-made ash trayt to home-manufactured gold earrings, Canadian moccasins, and scarft from Brooklyn. Earl, a tall, slim man who likes to drink the knowledge of living, collected snakes as a kid for fun, studied geology because of his thirst for knowing, and once thought he would spend his life In the scientific study of hypnosis.

11 Acre Estate The $400 hut he started with 15 years ago is now an 11 -acre estate of several buildings with a capital value of at least $200,000. And it grosses roughly about a quarter of a million dollars a year. He manufactures and ships souvenirs of the Black Hills and South Dakota bad lands to at least 20 states. He has about 35 employes and the sales girlt in his store are among the highest paid in the land. He learned that the best way to hypnotize them was to pay them a good percentage.

He pays his girls seven per cent of each sale and he is proud to say that some girls make "up to $30 a day." Earl spends about $10,000 a year buying odd snakes from all parts of the world. This la his attitude toward both reptiles and customers: "I Just like them. I like anything that lives." (Note: This is the first of two columns about America's leading showman of reptiles.)

J. G. Pope, Miss Amelia Blount and Buford C. Blount. Rev.

J. L. Jordan was first pastor of the church. The original building was erected about 1002 when Rev. J.

Wilson of Bay Springs. The first church building was destroyed by a cyclone In 1924 when Rev. J. W. Thompson was pastor and the second church was built while Reverend Thompson was still there.

His widow makes her home in Collins at the present time. New Building About six years ago, the church started raising funds for a new building. When Reverend Lewis, a veteran of 49 years of preaching in the Mississippi Methodist conference and former pastor of both Broad Street and Court Street churches in Hattiesburg, was appointed as pastor in June, 1050, the church had in hand between $9,000 and $10,000, Including the valuation of lumber in the old church. One of Reverend Lewis' first acts was to plan a Homecoming day at the church, which was he'd the second Sunday In July, 1950. More than $6,000 was raised on this one day.

Shortly afterwards, the contract for the new building was let. to J. C. Dickens and Bros, of Collins. Plans for the church had been approved previously.
