records of all four of the high
school years.

Rabies Vaccinations to be
offered in Marion County
One of the classic Walt Disney
movies was “Old Yeller.” It was
a great movie, but it was really
sad when the hero of the movie,
that big intelligent, fierce, loving “yeller” blackmouth cur dog
had to be destroyed because he
had contracted rabies after having fought off a rabid
wolf that was attacking the family.
This disease is still
a very real and serious threat to pets,
domestic livestock,
wild animals and
yes, even humans. Preventative
vaccinations are the best option
we have to protect our families
and pets from the ravages of this
life threatening disease.
To help protect your cats and
dogs, the Marion County 4-H
Club and Dr. Rudy Killingsworth will be holding a rabies
vaccination clinic on Saturday,
May 4 at several different locations in Marion County. The
schedule is listed below.

Southland
Experiments
Kara Hubbard, sixth grade
science student at Southland Academy, shows the
effect that different densities
can have on jars of water.
She has placed a boiled egg
(you can use raw eggs) into
two jars of water. To one of
the jars she added several
tablespoons of salt. If you
look carefully, you will notice
that one of the eggs is floating and one has sunk to the
bottom of the jar. Can you
guess which?
