Rabies still high in Huron, clinics planned Confirmed cases of rabies in animals continued at a relatively high level in Huron County during the 12-month period ending March 31, 1971. Total confirmed cases involving both domestic and wild animals were 33 for the 12-month period. Undetected cases of rabies in animals in an endemic area usually far exceed the confirmed incidents. During the year 5,378 dogs and cats were vaccinated at some 29 free Anti-Rabies Vaccination Clinics conducted in the county by the Canada Department of Agriculture, Health of Animals Branch, and the Huron County Health Unit. This represented an increase of 5.10 per cent over the previous year. Huron County continues to be among the counties of Ontario with a high incidence of rabies. The wild life population of skunks and foxes in the area continues to be relatively high. These animals are the main vectors of spread of rabies to our domestic animals and for this reason any unusual actions in these animals should be treated with extreme caution. Contact between these animals and domestic animals, or humans, should be immediately reported to the Health of Animals Branch or the local Public Health Unit, in order that proper evasive action can be initiated to eliminate further spread of the disease, Rabies is a virus disease which affects the central nervous system of animals and humans. The symptoms produced by the disease vary from incident to incident, but, by and large, all animals behave in a peculiar manner and attempt to attack other animals and thus propagate the disease, as live virus is frequently present in the saliva of infected animals. The disease is usually fatal, unless proper evasive action is taken prior to the onset of symptoms of the disease. It would appear that rabies will continue to pose a potential hazard to dogs and cats in Huron County. In order to alleviate, at least in part, this hazaru and attempt to eliminate the most likely route of spread to our human population, it has been decided to again this year conduct Anti-Rabies Vaccination Clinics for dogs and cats. These clinics will commence on October 4, 1971 in the northern areas of Huron County, and continue southward to be completed on October 27, 1971. Rabies infection is mainly centered in the southern areas of Ontario and Quebec, Total elimination of the condition is unlikely because of the residual constant infection in our wild life. Spread to our human population is therefore a constant and real threat, and for this reason control in our domestic animal population is one of the major concerns of the Canada Department of Agriculture, Health of Animals Branch, The free rabies clinics will be held in several places in the area, On Oct. 8, the rabies clinic will be in Blyth at the old fire hall from 9 a.m. until noon, and it will be in Auburn on Wed. Oct. 13 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the community centre. The clinic will be in Clinton Oct, 19 from 2.8 p.m. at the community centre. On Oct. 21 it will be in Brucefield from 9 a.m. until noon at the fire hall and in Bayfield at the town hall from 1:30.4:30 p.m. The last clinic in the area will be in Hensall from 1:30.4:30 p.m. at the fire hall.

More material available build compost pile now Any home gardener with his own compost pile can attest to its value. It is an excellent source of organic matter to improve the wit, as well as a handy disposal for decaying plant material, grass clippings, leaves, and organic garbage. During autumn, more than the usual amount of material is readily available. Therefore, now is an ideal time to start a compost pile. Matured plants, even weeds provided they have not gone to seed, can be used. In fact, almost any material except those containing bone, glass, rubber, or metal can be added. A good-sized pile is obout 6 feet long, 4 feet wide and 5 feet high. A coarse, heavy-textured layer of straw, cornstalks or other suitable material should be laid first. This will provide better drainage for the pile. Then add 12-inch layers of other material. Some lime and commercial fertilizer high in nitrogen will aid the totting process. If the weather is dry, water the pile occasionally. Quicken the usual six-month rotting period by forking or turning the pile once every few -days, advise horticulturists With the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, BATTERY SUPPLY AND AUTOMOTIVE CLINTON NOW OPEN TO SERVE YOU AT 56 KING ST. — PHONE 482-9861 WE SUPPLY QUALITY PRODUCTS BY WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURERS SUCH AS: PRESTOLITE ZENITH and BCA immiumommam e Batteries Bearings & Seals Ignition Wire and Cable Temp.

Gaskets FULTON -malmiummemor TherMostat Gaskets EXHAUST SYSTEMS A SPECIALTY WE DELIVER Bayfield Kids walk to help renovate old town hall IVII LVENA ER ICKSON Tim West and Tommy Telford headed a gropes of 21 young Bayfield people when they held a Walk-A-Thon, Saturday morning, September 25. The monies realized from this venture are to be used for the renovation of the old town hall. Principally, the interest is in the installation of a new furnace tp replace the old wood-burning one, and to build new washrooms to replace the old out-dated outhouses, which are, to say the least, both a fire and health hazard. Also planned is the purchase of a new flag for Clan Gregor Square, which was "borrowed" as a "souvenir" last summer. The 1st Bayfield Sea Scouts, and 1st Bayfield Rangers and Rovers are presently using the old town hall as a meeting place; and the idea of the walk is to raise money to create a better environment for the young people. The interest shown, by the enthusiasm of these young walkers as they left the town hall heading for Varna, north to Clinton Road, west to Highway 21, and south back into Bayfield,, is highly commendable. The 1st Bayfield Rovers were on hand to check the walkers at each check-point along the route. Tim West was the first to come in; his time was recorded as three hours and 29 minutes; followed by Tommy Telford in three hours and 39 minutes. Larry Bunn was the last to finish in seven hours and 20 minutes. The walkers' ages ranged from 10 to 15 years and the average earned was $18.00 per walker. (Further report on total sum at a later date.) The L.A. served hot dogs and soft drinks to the young people on their return at the home of Mrs. Percy Renner.
