Bring Quick Results SNOWMOBILING A Popular Sport in Clinton Area (By Shirley, J, Keller) It was indeed a “doggone” long discussion on the problems of stray, dogs in Huron County; American hunters who clean up the County’s game and.some- *times leave their, dogs behind; and the increasing threat . of rabies, . Reeve Kenneth Stewart set off the free-wheeling enquiry session with a call for County Council to try to find some so­ lution for the increasing rabies threat. He1 said human life and comfort was endangered by the growing number of known rabies cases in the County and cited an incident recently where a young girl died when the anti-vaccine failed. “There were 63 known cases of rabies in the county last year,” Stewart reported. Carl Dalton, reeve of Sea­ forth, -said although the town was “polluted with dogs” the Onitrio Humane Society made the requirements for dog pounds So strict that the municipality was unable to maintain one. He Charged that dbg catchers were not permitted to lay hold of a dog unless the animal was run­ ning around on a street or a highway. He maintained that a dog should be shot if it was running at large, untagged and unwanted. Ernie Talbot, reeve of Stan­ ley, reported it was his under­ standing that if an animal was causing damage, it could be disposed of legally under the Livestock Protection Act. In Stephen Township, re­ ported reeve James Hayter, persons could catch stray dogs and impound them at the town­ ship’s expense at a veterinar­ ian's kennel in Exeter. If the dogs are undaimed after four days, they are destroyed, he added. Jack Alexander, deputy-reCve of Wingham, suggested that a county dog catcher be retained. Carl Dalton asked that corre­ spondence with, the Ontario Hu- maline Society proceed any de­ cision by the Health Committee, to which the problem was re­ ferred. At the mention of “wild, dogs” in the County, Reeve Jack Cor­ bett, Hay, said panties of Am-, erican hunters were known to drive through a bush and when they were unable to refcal! their dogs, left the animals there to become wild creatures hunting food where they could find it, Other members of council con­ curred that wild dogs were fair­ ly common in the County and agreed that other game, -par­ ticularly deer, were being driv­ en off by the dogs. Reeve James Hayter said that Essex and Kent counties; in the Southern part of the province had banned Americans as hun­ ters there. He recommended on petition of some Stephen rate­ payers that similar action be taken in Huron where hunters from across the border arrived in sufficient numbers' to strip the Huron bushlands of every­ thing that lived, A motion brought in at the Thursday afternoon session by Hayter, seconded by Stephen deputy-reeve Ed. Hendrick and endorsed by Hay Township dep­ uty-reeve Delbert Geiger called for the members of the Agri­ culture and Reforesitatiibn com­ mittee to consider a recommen­ dation that American residents be banned from hunting game in the county of Huron. £ Jack Peck and son lan out for a winter ride at William Batkin’s farm; standing in background is Mervyn Batkin.
