Tularemia Muskrats have been the only re- ported source of this disease in this area although rabbits are also known to be carriers. If a musk- rat is found dead from an un- known cause it would be apprec- iated if the animal were turned over to• your local- conservation of- ficer. Tularemia is highly infec- tious to man through the blood stream. If possible the animal should be handled with gloves. Two cases were reported in 1956 in the Listowel area and . these were known to have contracted the disease through the handling of muskrats. Smelt The smelt report to date in our area is negative.

Philipsburg Chew drove the last nail into the coffin with a 5-3 win. It was the third loss for the Colts and although they have one game left their last hope is gone. "Dan": C,olquhoun and Tom Col- quhoun were pressed into service for the final game to bolster the Colt defence and even without practice both players turned in ex- cellent games. Anstett Scores The first period produced very close checking with Clinton hav- ing a definite edge in territorial play. Haunn was tested many times but always kept the rubber out. Ray Anstett finally found an opening with a screened shot from the blueline. Dan ColquMun duplicated An- stett's goal half way through the second period, Dan let his shot go from 25 feet out and the rising drive caught the top corner of the net before Haunn could make his move. Hugill and Anstett set up the play. Hartley and Garon were hurt a few minutes later and then the Chevs really started to roll. Arnold got into the clear at 13.53 for their first goal, Cal Hon- derich tied the score 42 seconds later and Ron Honderich gave the visitors the lead at 17.10. Colts Try Hard With elimination staring them iri the face the Colts made a de- termined bid to tie the score. Ehrat and Arnold combined to set- up. Phillips with the Colts caught in the Chevs zone. Denomme stop- ped the first drive but the puck dropped into the clear and the alert Philipsburg forward flipped the disc over Denomme into the twine. 1VIcEevan revived Clinton hopes with a rising shot that caught the top corner over Haun- n's elbow, but fate stepped in again when a pass-out from, be- hind the- Clinton net hit a Clinton player arid rebounded into the net, Philipsburg—goal, Haunt); def- ence, A.

In closing I wonder if anyone heard of the fellow who lost his arm while duck hunting and as a result had a great deal of troub- le while fishing to put a worm on his hook.
