Stratford hadn't had a proper
study.
Ronald Marcy put forward a
motion to delete the town of
Stratford from the original motion
but this was defeated.
Another trustee said he felt
each town should': have been
dealt with separately.
Trustee Michael, Connolly said
he could see no reason for offeilng
the noon hour busing service
since it wasn't available in other
centres such as Seaforth.
Mr. Marey,„ said when the .
busing costs for Stratford
students were looked at on a daily
basis, it was' costing the 'board
about IS Cents per pupil per day
to send students home for lunch,
which was. less_ than students
would pay on the public transpor-
tation system.
He said the board must
remember' the public schools had
started noon hour busing two
years ago.
William .Kinahan. the vice-
chairman, said he wondered what
kind of a can of worms the board
would be opening up with St.
Mary's and Goderich if Stratford
was exempted from having
service terminated.

foxes, dogs and cats which tend to spread

.The rabies virus is sect•etectin the saliva
of infected animals. From a bite the virus
multiplies and moves up the nerves to the
brain causing an infection_ which results in ...

trernendoitsly. The average incubatior
• period is 2.6 Week's but extremes from 12
days to a year in man and 12 clays to 113
days in dogs have been recorded,
Signs of the disease usually,last less than
1 week. The first sign in a dpg may ,bo a
change in dispo sition. In a day or two the
dog May go into' en • excitatory phase
characterized by rondo& eating sticks or
stenos, baying and possibly becomibg
vicious. If the animal continues to live for
another day or two, paralysis or convulsive
se4urers occur, It is important to note that
the animal may not neccessarily show all of
these signs or any of them for that matter.
Sudden death or sudden paralysis may be
"' all that one sees ,
Because rabies is such a serious disease,
control and prevention should be a major
concern of everyone. All pet dogs and cats
over 3 months of age should be vaccinated„
annually. Stray dogs • and cats should he
rigidly controlled. Likewise the wildlife
population should be kept in balance if
possible. It has .been shown that rabies
does not spread in foxes -when the
population density falls below one fox per
square kilometer. Rabies will continue to
be a problem until the wildlife reservoir
can be vaccinated. Research along this line
is being carried out at the University of
Guelph, but the problems of inoculation
are obvious and formidable.
Finally, if you happen to be bitten by a
suspicious animal, thoroughly clean the
wound with soap and water and apply
disinfectant. Try to identify the animal and
pos-sibly summon help such as the police to
capture it; and notify the office of the
Health of Animals Branch of Department
of --Agriculture to confirm -the-diagnosis.
Above all, contact your phySician for
further wound care and , possible post-
exposure prophylactic treatment.

school board, was a major factor
in the decision to terminate noon
hour busing for separate school
pupils in • Goderich, St. Mary's
and Stratford.
The Huron-Perth Roman
Catholic Separate School Board,
on a close . vote at Monday's
meeting, agreed to terminate the
noon hour service for urban
pupils due to declining loadingS.
on school buses.
The board will save $12,000
annually by cutting out the
service.
The decision will affect 65
pupils in the town of Goderich, 50
pupil in St.Marys and 205 pupils
In Stratford.
In Stratford, the per pupil cost
of. busing is $207' per year,, but
this will drop to $171 per year per
pupil if only morning and
afternoon service& are offered - a
saving:,of $36 per ptiPil.
Ronald Marcy, a Stratford
trustee, said public schools in the
city now offer noon hour busing
during the winter months and we
must remain competitive."
He said he felt the separate
schools would lose students if
they stopped providing thelieen
hour busing service for their
urban. pupils,
David Teahen, another
_Stratford_ Irustee, also . spoke
against-the motion -to tei inirrate- -
the service, saying there was
quite a problem in the city over
busing in the past ' and the
separate schools lost a number of
students, some of whom still
haven't returned to the separate
