THANKS FOR THE GIFT OF GOOD HEALTH FROM YOUR TB ASSOCIATION There's absolutely no doubt about it! Rats and mice are the most widespread and destructive pests in the world. They eat and contaminate vast quantities of food and other materials, destroy buildings 'and property and spread numerous diseases. They are useless, wasteful and filthy animals and should be destroyed at every opportunity. You can learn more about them and their destructive habits in a new Canada Department of Agriculture publication which deals with the control of rodents. It is available without charge from the Department's Information Division. The booklet says rats• and mice occur just about everywhere, with only one exception mentioned. There are no rats in the province of Alberta. It is the only province or state in North America free of rats. Provincial authorities wage a relentless war on the rodents, saving residents an estimated $25,000,000 annually. In a •sense rodents can be compared with icebergs. You see only a small part of an iceberb because its bulk is well hidden beneath the sea. Rats and mice are the same. If you see one about the house or barn, you can assume scores of rodents are scuttling about. They often live undetected in burrows under the floors and in the walls of buildings, coming out only to forage, usually at dusk. They will eat practically any food ' and will gnaw at almost everything, including the insulation of some types of electrical wiring. They will raid graneries and feed bins, undermine stables and sheds, kill poultry, eat eggs and damage or destroy fruits and vegetables. A single rat will eat, spoil or damage about $20 to $25 worth of goods per year. In Canada, they destroy thousands of tons of grain, feed and supplies worth several million dollars annually. Rats and mice like garbage dumps, manure piles, sewers, pigpens and other unsanitary places. And then they move on to homes, restaurants, bakeries, marketing places and warehouses, contaminating everything they touch. Their feet, fur and fail carry millions of disease-producing germs and what they don't eat they pollute with their droppings and urine, They are responsible for the spread of many diseases. Bubonic plague, typhus, dysentry, tularemia, ratbite fever, leptospirosis, rabies, trichinosis and salmonellosis are a few. And they often carry such parasites as fleas, lice, mites and ticks. They have been known to bite sleeping babies and invalids and to feed on dead animals. And if they're really hungry they will fight and kill each other and eat their own young. Rodents reproduce at a surprising rate. Rats have as many as six or seven litters a year, with a dozen or more young per litter. The common rat reaches sexual maturity three to four months and has a gestation period of 22 to 24 days. Under favorable conditions, a pair of rats could produce 350,000,000 offspring within three years. The inaugural meeting of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind Advisory Boards of the Counties of Huron and Perth, was held on Wednesday, November 25, at the Royal Hotel, Mitchell. Prior to this meeting each County had its own Board which made available the services of CNIB to the blind people in the area. The purpose of uniting the two groups of volunteer workers is to increase efficiency and improve the service to the blind. A new Executive was elected as follows: Chairman, Mr. Harry Lear of Myth— 1st Vice-Chairman, Mr. E. M Creighton, Listowel — 2nd Vice-Chairman, Mrs. R. E. Young, Stratford — Secretary, Mr. Eric Luther of Hensall and Treasurer, Mr. Norman McIntyre, Goderich. Mr. ' Wes. Stanley, Administrator of District Operations, CNIB Toronto, presented the new Board with their Constitution and congratulated the group and thanked them for their interest Mice reach sexual maturity at six weeks of age, have a gestation period of 16 to 18 days and bear five to eight young per litter. Although rodents are, night lovers, it's not too hard to detect their presence. They can usually be heard squeaking, gnawing or scampering about. They leave tracks on dusty surfaces or in the snow. They also leave droppings and a smell of urine, and they leave greasy rub marks along walls and pipes. There may be evidence of burrows or holes. Homes and farm buildings can be made rodent-proof through the use of concrete floors and footings, tight-fitting doors and windows and wire screening over basement windows and vents. Detailed instructions on the Control •ofAmatsi and. mice aro given in the Canada' Department of Agriculture Publication 1370, "Control of Rats and Mice". It is available free of charge from the Information Division, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa 3. and' help in making a fine contribution to the overall program of assistance to Canada's 26,000 sightless people. Mr. Stanley mentioned that the need for training for blind persons is still vital in order for the blind to adjust to living in our sighted world. There are currently 81 blind people in the County of Huron and 58 in Stratford and Perth County, receiving service from CNIB. Mr. Leonard Boyce, Mr. Norman McIntyre, Mrs. Clayton Edward and Mr. J. H. `Kinkead are the CNIB representatives in Goderich.

FREE ANGLING LICENSES NEXT YEAR FOR PERSONS OVER 65 The resident angling license Was introduced in the Province of Ontario in January, 1969. This license is required by all male anglers 19 years of age and over and it is an annual license renewable on January 1st of each year. Next year, 1971, all resident male anglers still will be required to have the angling license. However, a free license will be provided for male residents over 65 years of age. Resident women are not required to have an angling license. The free license can be obtained after January 1st at Department of Lands and Forests Division Offices at Owen Sound, Stratford and Hespel6r by showing proof of age. During the two years since the licensing was introduced the Department has embarked on a system of interviewing angling licensees to survey the activities, needs and demands of fishermen and to determine the best use of our present resources and the direction of our future fishing programs. Male anglers 65 years of age and older make up a considerable portion of the total number of resident anglers and can contribute to these surveys. They will be required to have 7, the annual license even though, it - is available to them free. SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES .,..and mouth, and nose, and lungs, and larynx.
