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 co'unty by the Canada Department of Agriculture Health of Animals Branch, and the Huron County Health Unit. This represented an increase of 5,10 percent over the previous year. Huron County continues to be among the counties of Ontario with a higher incidence of rabies. The wild life population of skunks and foxes in the area continues tp 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 symptons 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 syptoms 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 hazard and attempt to eliminate the most likely route of spread to our human population, it has been decided to again this year con- duct anti-rabies vaccination clinics for dogs and cats. These clinics will commence on October 4, in northern areas of Huron County, and continue southward to be completed on and art exhibits attracted the attention of the large crowds. Many of the articles came back year after year to carry off prize money. Among the exhibitors in the early 1900's were Perkins and Martin with pianos and sewing machines, R. N. Rowe with bedroom and parlor suites. Alex McPherson with a cage of stuffed birds and animals and Indian relics. Joseph Senior with photographs and Ed Treble with a set of bob-sleighs. William Bawden paraded some horses that took first prize at London Fair and William Decker of Zurich and J. T. Berry of Hensall had prize winning animals. Henry Smith was noted for his pure-bred Durham and Shor- thorns. Thomas Russell of Usborne also exhibited prize winning cattle, Alex Dyer was one of the early secretaries and in 1915 was succeeded by R. G. Seldon who held the position until 1938. Clark Fisher was secretary until 1960 when the present secretary Garnet Hicks took over. al111111911919191111111111111111111111111.1111111111.11911(111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1U admission, Failing that they would gather around the gates and when they became too numerous and noisy, the gatekeeper would melt and tell them to get inside and behave themselves. The grandstand was at the north side of the grounds and there were the usual trials of speed. There • were no fancy rubber tired race carts with expensive harness and hobbles. The early carts had large steel- tired wheels. Harness race fans of today will be interested in the times of the races in 1894 with steel-tired sulkies. The free-for-all was run in 2.41, 2.41, 2.37; team of roadsters in 3.23. 3.20, 3.22 while the farmers trot went in 4.12, 4.12 and 4.04. The main show building was called the Crystal Palace. It was the former Anglican church that had been transferred to the grounds.

The Fair was first known as the Stephen and Usborne Agricultural Society and its directorate was largely from farmers throughout the com- munity. The fall fair in Exeter was a going concern long before the London, Huron and Bruce snorted its way along the railway track, Before the days of the motor car, the McLaughlin ph- aeton, the double-seated carriage and box cutters vied for the admiration of the public just as the automobile. Fall fairs have always been the main attractions of the year. The Exeter Times Advocate in 1890 estimated the attendance at the fair at 6,000 persons, a record up until that time. In 1894 the crowd was listed at 4,500 and the receipts were close to $1,000. At that time, a high board fence extended partly around the north and south sides of the grounds and admission was made to the grounds through a turnstile and double high board gates. As 25 cents was considered good spending money at that time, most youngsters tried to find a loophole in the fence to gain FROM The monthly meeting of the South Huron rabbit breeders association was held Tuesday September 14 in Elimville Hall with a capacity crowd in at- tendance. The meeting was called to order by President David Stanley. The main business of the evening was finalizing of plans for the club's booth at Exeter Fair which will be similar to last year's operation. The members of the 4-H rabbit club will be handling the information portion of the booth. Guests for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith of Wardsville. Mr. Smith spoke on the importance of maintaining a summer and winter balance of production. He encouraged members to strive for better winter production to help equal summer production in order to fill the demand for their product. The name of Doug Fenton was drawn on the accumulated prize but as he was absent, the prize was held over for next months' draw. Bill Dickey was auctioneer for the Dutch Auction and winner of the prize was Earl Dow. Members will be notified when and where the next meeting will be held, KONGSKILDE LIMITED E.= Featuring Self Sharpening Reversible Share Points Do-lt-Yourself Adjustment From 12" to 14" to 16" Furrow * — Fully Mounted and Semi-Mounted Models IT'S DESIGNED WITH THE FARMER IN MIND By MRS.
