Laura Mae Chamney, First Vice-President thanked everyone and welcomed all and read "What Is The Meaning of Christmas?" Lois Haines had a program of "Lights of Christmas" with others taking part in the candlelight It's been 13 weeks since the 12,700 baits containing modified live virus rabies vaccine were dropped in Huron County. Since that time, stafffrom the Rabies Research Unit in Maple have been collecting carcasses and blood samples from the local trappers. Brain tissue, extracted from the carcasses, is frozen and sent to Agriculture Canada to be tested for the presence of rabies. The upper two canine teeth are extracted and sectioned. The sections are placed under ultra- violet light in order to detect the presence of the trace element tetracycline, which indicates a bait has been eaten. This year it was determined that one fox ate at least one bait each day over a fifteen day period, for a total of fifteen baits at a minimum. Last year the most number of baits eaten by a fox was nine. The blood samples are received and are spun in a centrifuge to separate the serum. The serum is frozen and sent to the University of Toronto to determine the presence and potency of the vaccine or vaccine antibodies. Over the period since the drop, it is estimated that nearly 1,000 service. There were five candles and she told the story of each one. She opened with prayer. Several carols were sung. Marian Haggitt lit the tall candle for "Christ". Erma Cartwright lit the candle for "Joy". Marjorie McDougall lit the candle for "Peace". Ruth Jardin lit the candle for "Faith". Laura Mae Chamney lit the candle for "Love". There also were scrip- tures readings for each of these. Lois Haines closed with prayer. Mrs. Chamney thanked Mrs. Haines for this lovely candle lighting service. An instrumental was played by Marjorie McDouall "Star Of The East". Mrs. Don Cartwright read "Last Minute Rush". Marian Haggitt gave a contest of scrambl- ed words pertaining to Christmas and the winner was Evelyn Merrill. A reading was given by Marian Haggitt: "Music of Carols Filled the Air." There was a short business period. Collection was going to Blind Mission. Closed with everyone singing, "We Wish you a Merry Christmas." carcasses were collected or turned in. These included foxes, raccoons, coyotes and skunks. Last year seven hundred and eighty carcass- es were turned in. The carcasses came from both within the drop area, on the periphery of the drop area and fromjustoutside ofthe drop area. Analysis of these carcasses gives indicators of the animals' migration habits in and out of the study area. This year, one oppossum was trapped, the first one ever to be trapped near Seaforth. It has not yet been tested for any indication of eating the bait. In 1984, within a twenty-eight day period following the bait drop, 89 fox carcasses were turned in, 64 per cent of them showing bait acceptance. In 1985, within the same time period, 78 fox carcasses were turned in, 58 per cent of them showing bait acceptance. From a biological point of view, this year's program can be deemed to be a success.
