AT A recent session of Huron
County Council, members discussed the
growing problems brought about by
rabies. Just last week, we received a
letter including a statement from Dr.
M. B. Dymond, Ontario Minister of
Health, regarding increased incidents of
rabies and ways to combat the horrible
disease.
“Rabies is present in the wild life
of Ontario and may at times assume
serious proportions, Through under
standing and example, unnecessary risks
may be avoided at home, work and
play,” said Dr. Dymond.
The Ontario Safety League advises
that rabies—or hydrophobia-—is a fatal,
infectious malady affecting animals and
man. It is a virus which attacks nerve
cells, eventually reaching the brain caus
ing paralysis and finally death..
It is spread from one animal to
another through saliva. This is why any
animal bite is of concern. Bats are
considered to be particularly dangerous
as they are capable of longer periods
of infectivity than other carriers.
The disease is usually divided into
two types: furious and dumb. In dogs,
Qf fgrioi^ Fftbjes sW 4&RW*
sion, tendency to hide; easily frighten
ed, bite if touched; will eat objects such
as stones or sticks; the voice becomes
•hoarse; runs in aimless manner and
will bite anything in its path.. Where
dumb rabies is the disease, dogs _ are
nervous but not excitable, with vicious
ness shown in furious type, course of
the disease is rapid with death coming
in three or four days.
The public should avoid animal life
that appears sick, abnormally, friendly
or aggressive. If' bitten or scratched by
any animal suspected or being rabid,
wash the affected area immediately
with soap and water and contact a doc
tor immediately, „ ;
It is also an accepted fact that
domestic pets such as dogs and cats
may also become rabid and in turn
infect man, With the advent of the
summer season, when, children and
adults are spending more time outdoors
at the cottage and camping, we felt a
warning would be timely,

Special Service for Veterans Week
THERE ARE approximately 975,- year we should honour' the men and
000 veterans of Canada’s wars living women who, by their sacrifices’in times
today—-and; most of them will be kept of war, and their good citizenship in
mighty busy from Sunday, June" 11 to times of peace, have played a major
Saturday June 17. Part in building the Canada we know
has teen'd/clared Wteans WelSnd Veterans have been' asked > wear
a busy program of events to celebrate
the occasion has been arranged across
Canada. t . /
Clinton’s war veterans’ organiza
tion, Branch 140 of the Royal Canadian
Legion is starting the week off with
its annual decoration service on Sun
day evening, at seven o’clock in Library
Park. A -special service has been ar
ranged. 5
It is fitting that- during Centennial
their discharge button during the week
and this,' in itself, will lead to much
frantic activity as many may have;
p trouble finding “the badge of ihonour”
which they have not worn for more
than 20 years. >
As we pay tribute to the veterans
who live, there will be a special thought
for those who died—more than 112xOO0
who made the greatest sacrifice of all
and are buried in 70 countries around
the world. ’ . , ' • ..
We Echo These Sentiments J1

Sunday, June 11 — the light dims and brightens with the passage of time, the

. WE ECHO the sentiments expres
sed .in the Goderich Signal-Star edit
orial “Be Our Guest” regarding the
desire some people seem to have for
controversial-type opinions.
In fact, we so heartily endorse the
thoughts' expressed therein, that we in

enjoy the content of the editorial and
accept the invitation printed, there to
‘‘be our guest” as though it came init
ially from us.
“We are opportuned from time to
time to puiblish some real rip snorting
editorials, raise a little hell with this
or that, give so-and-so a hard time
■and generally disturb the peace.
“There are times when a sharp
prod or an equally effective word of ■
praise can get good results when seem
ingly nothing else will do. There is a
time for hewing to the line and ..letting
“Meanwhile, those who clamor for
the “good old hellfire and brimstone”
kind of editorial column tend to forget .
. that the rabid, partisan, emotional edit
orials ‘ of yesteryear' would make us
laugh ourselves sick today.
“Actually, we believe those who'
want the “disturber” type of editorial
are looking for amusement,, “kicks” or
have a vindictive desire to have some
one else throw their snowballs for them.
- “ ‘Get in there and fight, boy, we’ll
hold your coat,’ they urge,
“Gentle Reader, welcome to the fray.'
You are cordially invited to metaphoric

Some Parts of
EVERY CANADIAN who visits
Expo 67 will feel a thrill of unabashed
nationalistic pride, predicts Pierre Ber
ten in the June issue of Maclean’s Mag
azine, >
“Within minutes of my arrival/’ he
writes, “I fell captive to an unexpected
emotion: a moistness in the eye, a husk
in the throat of a kind one usually ex
periences only in moments of national
stress. . .
“I discovered later that others had
felt it too. The same phrase fell from
every lip that opening day: ‘We did it!’
And by the large; by God, we did,it
well.”
Berton’s assessment of the fair,
part of a general review of the best
and the rest of Expo in this issue of
■the magazine, goes on to say that the
apt adjective to describe the whole pro-
Co “Plonk”
duction is “serene.”
“The place is eenily serene. There
is no neon, no cary bankers, no calliope
whistles, no clatter. The monorail slides
silently above you, the gondolas float
noiselessly below. At night Expo glows
but does hot glitter. The only shrill
thing about it is the Cuba pavilion.”
The best . pavilion displays, says
Benton, are the things that move, joggle,
change colour and go “plonk.” There
are lots of them, including Chris Chap
man’s wonderful movie in the Ontario
pavilion and the exhibits in the Man in
the Community pavilion. '
Despite some disappointments, not
ably Sean Kenny’s Gyrotron and the
absence of places to grab a snack, Ber-
ton found Expo had a “soaring and
noble .theme, worthy of the global, vil
lage we have devised for 'it.”

Nothing to it. Anybody Who:

, I have a few suggestions.
In fact, I have quite a few,
because I've been giving' the

two qf them, for various rea-.
sons, but it’s every man to ’
this own taste, and one or
'■more of them might be just
the ticket for you.
Put your wife' to work. If
She’s already Working, and
you still can’t afford the trip,
•have an auction sale and get
rid of a lot of that old junk
you’ve accumulated oyer file
years.. This does not.refer to
your wife,
- If you haven’t any' old
junk, think of something.
Throw a bingo party. Ohick-
enfeed, you say? All right
then, how about throwing a
martini party, at $5 a rattle,
on the Monday of a holiday
weekend, When everybody has
run out of booze? You’.d
clear about $300.
Buy some veterans’ calen
dars, cut off one of your
arms, and sell them door to
door.
Come on, you can .figure
out a gimmick. Send your
kids out mowing, lawns. If you
have1 no kids", send your ’
mother-in-law out mowing
lawns. And if she's too' de
crepit, insure her heavily and
push her off a cliff. .

, -Speaking of moving vans,
how about pushing your wife,
or husband, in front of a mov
ing moving van, provided you
have a joint account and mu

All of these are too coarse,

for you? My, you are an old
poke. So run a bookie joint,
sell pot, hold up a bank, if
you want something simple.
Against your principles?
Well, all right, all right, but
it shows the depths of de
pravity to which I can slink

I try to figure out how we

From The
By- .
HENRY F< HEALD
OTTAWA — Subjects of a
monarch or’ citizens of a re
public? That is a choice Can
adians may never have to make,
but it is tiie underlying question
behind, a sdrt of secondary de- %
bate that recurs periodically in'
the House of Commons.
The actual question cited
above was posed by one MP in
a debate on citizenship. He
merely pointed’ out that in
theory Canadians had no bus
iness talking about citizenship.
Canada is a monarchy and as
such Canadians are subjects of
the Queen, , *
Heath Macquarrie, a history-
professor from Prince Ediward
Island and one of Parliament’s
more eloquent speakers, took
it’a step" farther. He staid it was.
wrong to hav4 a national an
them and a Royal anthem. A
monarchy could only have a
Royal an.tihem'
•He also posed some interest
ing' questions about the proto
col of flying flags.
A govemment-prodjuced pam
phlet on the use of flags says
the Canadian Maple -Leaf flag
should be flown on all nation
al state occasions and the Union
Jack on Victoria Day or on fhe
occasion of a Royal visit.
Mr. Macquarrie argued that
since fhe Queen is the Queen
of Canada why fly the British
flag for her. Britain Is just an- -
other autonomous member of
the Commonwealth.
Wallace Nesbitt, the Conserv
ative member for Oxford raised
another point: why did RpY
Thomson lose his Canadian citi
zenship for accepting an award
from the Queen of Canada While
Jean Lesage was able to accept
an award from the King of
Greece without losing his? •
The answer Was that
Lord Thomson .voluntarily ac
cepted British citizenship thus
relinquishing his Canadian
status. But it kept the pot boil-
irig for a day until- the Secre-
ary of. State got around to giv
ing the answer. ■»■ x
The House's most ardent ad
vocate of an end to all Royal
tradition is Auguste Choquette,
a personable young lawyer on
the .Liberal backbenches, Al
though perfectly bilingual, he
prefers to speak in French and
never misses an opportunity to
plead Ins case for’a republican
