The Halifax County Health Department outlines a county wide campaign against rabies rats and typhoid fever. Dr W A Carter and Dr Co J Spears are appointed rabies inspectors to immunize dogs six months and older at scheduled points. Rat control will run in towns and rural areas with baiting using Red Squill and a cleanup push to reduce stray dogs. Typhoid cases total thirty five in five years with several areas free of the disease for up to ten years.
