M. Aldis, M.D„ D.P,H., Gode- rich to all municipal councils in Huron: Rabies has now been confirmed in Huron County in 16 cases for the red fox and one heifer. you will be pleased to learn, therefore, that the Health of Animals Divi- sion of the Canada Department of Agriculture is making immediate arrangements to commence vac- cination clinics. Howick Township with current- ly the highest incidence of rabies in the county, will receive the first clinics. Dr. J, C, MacLennan, County Inspector for the Division, has suggested that the rest of the municipalities . begin to consider possible locations for setting up the clinics. It has been customary to oper- ate from three or four centres in a township, having in mind that any dog owner would be within about six miles radius of a clinic. It is also essential that the clinic location should have electrical out- lets to operate the sterilizers. While the Health of Animals Division is responsible for publicity about the clinics (posters, adver- tising), and provides the vaccine and veterinary services at no ch- arge, they would appreciate two or three volunteers (men or wo- men) for each clinic to assist in reception and clerical detail. Each municipality will be con- tacted in person by the Health of Animals Division to confirm places and dates of clinics. Please bear in mind that the vaccination is only a secondary measure in the attempt to control rabies, and protect the public. More important is the tie-up of dogs and if your municipality has not already done so, you are urged both by the Health of Animals Division and the Board of Health to exercise this control ,under lo- cal by-law. Some by-laws evidently are worded so that restraint is actual- ly in force at all times, except un- der favorable conditions when it can be lifted by proclamation of the Head of Local Council. The authority for the by-law is ob- tained from the Dog Tax and Live- stock Protection Act. Another matter has come to the attention of the board and that is that fox bounty claimants are removing the ears from their ani- mals and disposing of the carcas- ses by simply placing them in the municipal dump. This practice is dangerous and must cease. Please encourage all bounty claimants to take every precaution in protect- ing the public. Carcasses should be incinerated or buried. It is suggested that periodic inspection of your dump by your road super- intendent or his staff would as- sist in keeping hazard here to a minimum. While information can be laid against known offenders in this regard, it is more important that the municipality give first thought to fast disposal of any carcasses so found. As you are aware unless the owner is known, the charges for disposal usually fall upon the municipality, and most find it cheaper to use their own employ- ees. PORTER'S HILL Correspondent MRS. DON.
