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

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.

Community Centre at 1800
hours; to present awards to the
winners of the summer boat
races. Special invitations have
been extended to Reeve
Oddleifson, his wife, and the
Councillors and their wives.
THAT—
A freak de-masting took place
about two miles out in Lake
Huron off Bayfield on Sunday
last. Medium winds were
blowing and a spreader let go
and caused the top half of the
sail boat mast to break off,
Luckily no one on board was
injured and the vessel came into
port under its own power. The
craft, named "Lady Chimo"
(meaning Lady Friend) is owned
by Bill Davis of London.
Volunteers were on hand to help
clean up the wreckage when the
sail boat docked.
THAT—
Mr. Ted Gozzard, owner of
Bayfield Boat Works, has an
order for a 40-foot steel sail boat
from two young chaps who are
going to sail her around the
world. The construction is to
start in two weeks.
Mr. Gozzard believes it is the
first large steel boat to be built
in Bayfield, although he says he
can stand to be corrected on
this.
BesideS building steel boats,
the Boat Works builds craft of
