In the past nine years 339 students from 58 countries have participated in our traditional American holiday. This year two new countries will be They are Finland and Israel. Rabies hazard described by State Department of Health DES the 20 years an average of 23 persons each year have died rabies. But the extent of the rabies problem is not measured so much by the "relatively small number of human deaths as by the 60,000 human rabies expo- 1 sures annually, which require the expensive, painful series of 14 to 21 daily vaccinations. Since it is common knowledge that there is no cure or recovery CROP drive extended one week DES MOINES The Iowa Christian Rural Overseas Program (CROP) campaign, which began Nov.

15, has been extended to continue through the remainder of this month. In making this announcement Wednesday Iowa CROP Director John Nolin said that with extremely severe weather and a late corn harvest the CROP canvassers just made a good start last week in collecting corn contributions. In addition to the larm-fo-farm corn canvass to provide corn oil for the overseas relief min-j istries of church agences, CROP in-gatherings in cash gifts are being held in connection with once the disease has developed, severe anxiety and fear of rabies occurs in the more than half million persons bitten by animals each year. THE IOWA State Department of Health reports that there were 230 cases of rabies in animals in Iowa in 1958. Of these 127 cases were in skunks, 62 in cattle, 23 in cats and 12 in dogs.

No human rabies has been reported in Iowa since 1951. All animals can get rabies. The infection is by a virus which is in the saliva and nervous system of the infected animal. In order to infect, the saliva must get into a break or cut in the skin, as when a rabid animal bites. Bites about the head are the most serious since the virus then tias a short distance to travel to the brain.

Bites through clothing are iess serious than those to the bare skin as the saliva absorbed by the cloth. THERE IS NO easy way to recognize rabies. Many animals with rabies don't foam at the mouth, nor are they particularly vicious or unmanageable. Beware of any animal showing an unexplained change in behavior union Thanksgiving numerous cities Iowa. services in throughout THANKSGIVING cash gifts to CROP are applied toward the distribution of surplus food items which church relief agencies obtain for their work free of charge from the U.

S. Government. An urgent call for aid to the victims of Typhoon Vera in Japan has reached Church World Service headquarters-" in New York City. The homeless victims of this disaster number 1,300,000. CROP gifts were included in the help that was sent to this disaster- area, and much additional help is still needed.

NOLIN EMPHASIZED that, while church relief agencies make use of all the free surplus foods possible in their ministries of mercy overseas, much, much more is needed in the way oi foods that are not available from this free source. Corn oil and beans, commodi ties which can be provided followed by excitability or paralysis. Never kill an animal suspect ed of rabies; confine it under supervision of a veterinar tan. If it is killed early in the disease it may not be possible to tell from the brain whether or not it had rabies. If the anima is alive and well at the end Lwo weeks it is fairly certain North Iowa deaths Kiester woman dies at 75; Rites Thursday Rites at Swea City for Godferson child BANCROFT Funeral sei vices were, held Monday fo Cynthia Godferson, day ol daughter of Mr.
