A number of the Ausable River Nomads are shown in the above picture. 100 local and visiting campers enjoyed a Sunday Centralia dealer at fest with the German traditions of the West Bend area. In fact, GehlFest was specifically planned to blend old world tradition with Gehl’s innovative equipment technology.’’ The GehlFest event covered six separate, one- day sessions during mid­ July. Each session featured Gehl products on parade, including several newly in­ troduced equipment models. In addition, dealer represen­ tatives toured the Gehl plant Bert Borland, Centralia, was one of the more than 900 Gehl equipment dealerships represented recently at GehlFest ‘78, in West Bend, WI. GehlFest, which hosted more than 2,600 dealer representatives during its 6- day duration, was the largest dealer event in Gehl’s 119-year history. Gehl Company President, Joseph Zadra, summed it up this way: “It is appropriate that we named this gather­ ing ‘GehlFest’, because the Gehl name fits in perfectly * for a first-hand look at the manufacturing process. And, actual field demonstrations offered a chance to see Gehl equip­ mentin operation. The evening program was in the best German tradition of hospitality with good food, music, beverages and relaxed conversation. “Each GehlFest session left everyone in attendance with a feeling of professional ac­ complishment and personal friendship,” Zadra conclud­ ed. Reported cases of rabies in Huron County has declined sharply since last winter, Dr. W. Thompson district veterinarian said Monday. Late last winter there was increase in the number of rabies cases reported, but since then there have been very few reports, he said. Thompson said skunks and foxes are the major spreaders of the disease. If someone suspects a rabid animal has contacted a person or farm animal they should contact the Health of Animals branch in Seaforth, he said. “We are only interested on specimens with which other animals are involved. It cost a lot of money to process specimens. If someone comes across a dead animal they suspect has rabies, but hasn’t contacted anything else the best thing they can do is bury it,” Thompson said. Another disease which has plagued Huron County in the past, Brucellosis is also on the decline, the district veterinarian said, The disease, known as undulant fever in man, causes abortions in cattle. If a farmer has a’positive case on his farm, his livestock is quarantined and all the animals are tested. If the disease can’t be eradicated,- the entire herd may have be slaughtered. “We are down to only eight infected herds from a high of one time of 23. In the province we are down to 300 herds from over 1,000.’’ Home * Farm * Life * Commercial * Automobile Registered Retirement Plans CONTACT Bev Morgan Insurance Agency Ltd. 238 Main St. Phone 235-2544 Across from Saveway Lumber ★ to a in s Custodians Continued from front page new agreement contained “major breakthrough’’ the form of a cost of living clause in the second year of the contract.
