Province issues
All persons in Ontario are
reminded of the . continuing
problem of rabies infection in
wild and domestic animals in the
province. This reminder comes
from the Inter -Departmental
Committee on Rabies which
includes senior staff members of
the Department of Agriculture
and" Food, Department of Lands
and Forests and the Department
of Health.
It is of particular importance
at this time of the year to bring
this matter to the attention of
those persons who will be
vacationing in the resort areas
and visiting the Provincial Parks
where the opportunity to
contact wild animals is greatly
increased:
it is a wise precaution to
Odd any contact with Wild
animals, including any attempt
to play with, coax, or feed them
by hand, In addition it is
strongly Urged that all dogs and
cats be Vaccinated against rabies,
particularly before taking then
to the resort areas.
Should anyone be bitten or
scratched by a Wild animal, or a
domestic animal which iS
behaving abnormally, a
physician should be consulted as
soon as possible to determine
whether 'or not there is an
possibility of rabies infection,
and the Medical °fflter Of
Association, Thursday, June 19.
"One of the first of the
problem areas that will be
receiving consideration is that of
the problems of the Indian and
Eskimo populations. Efforts will
be made by the government to
overcome the discrimination, ,
both in law and in. fact, which
these peoples have been
suffering since Confederation,"
Mr. MacDonald said that
poverty was not confined to
only the native peoples of
Canada. "An intolerably large
group of Canadians have been
faced with the problems of
poverty in both rural and urban
areas," he said. The limited
success of present governmental
expenditures in this area have
prompted a fundamental
review."
Speaking of the problems of
Canadian agriculture, he said
changes in markets, methods of
operation and the circumstances
of our agricultural population
have seen Canadian farmers
effective in improving the
efficiency and productivity of
their methods while at the same
time seeing a serious drop in
their real income, "...and this at
a time when there are serious
challenges to traditional
Canadian markets, partly as a
result of foreign subsidized
programs." '
Mr. MacDonald said there is
legitimate concern about the
pollution of our waters, our soil
and our air. "We are now faced
with the problem of having to
pay .for the cost of enjoying
cleaner water' and alleviating air
pollution. This is to be
expensive," he advised the
Liberal Association. "In some
areas it will involve very painful
dislocation. Canada must
maintain an efficient and
productive industrial plant if we
are to have the economic
strength to solve these
problems." •
•
"In the last several years,
Canadian industry has shown a
really astonishing growth rate,
particularly in its exports," The
"Honorable Mr. MacDonald said
in conclusion, "but because of
this success we are going to have
to bend every effort to maintain
the productive machinery upon
which our high standard of living
is based."

Health for the district in which

Truscott story sought
Various media are reported to
be making handsome offers to
Steven Truscott for his life
story. C. A. M. Edwards, the
area supervisor of the National
Parole Board, said Wednesday,
June 11, that two film
companies and a national
magazine are among interests
that have made formal offers to
Truscott through the parole
board.
The National Parole Board is
looking into release plans for
Truscott: A member of the
five -man board, Andre Therien,
said in Edmonton June 17, this
was being done so that a clear
picture could be obtained of the
type of community and people
with whom Truscott would be
associating if set free. Truscott,
age 24, is serving a life sentence
for the 1959 murder of Lynn
Harper.
Mr. Therien says the parole
board probably will make a
recommendation to the Federal
Cabinet next month. Truscott
became eligible for parole June
11.
