Typescript circular letter of the City of Clayton Health Department to “Dear Dog Owner.” “The possibility of a rabies epidemic in Clayton is very serious. Rabid dogs have been taken from Hi-Pointe, Claverach Park and Davis Place Sub-Divisions, so the chance of an epidemic is quite possible unless we have your full cooperation by not allowing your dog to roam. . . . Many Claytonians will soon be doing their patriotic duty by planting Victory Gardens. Last year your Health Department received innumerable complaints about neighbors dogs scratching up the gardens. . . .” (formerly Alphabetical File), 1944 Apr 21
