Former Bly th and Auburn
area resident dies
JAMES ARTHUR TOWE
James Arthur Towe of London
and formerly of the Blyth and
Auburn area died in London on
September 23, 1986 after a short
illness. He was 85 years of age.
He was born in Leicester,
England where he received his
education. While still in England
he married the former Doris
Langham who survives him. He
becameapharmacistand immi
grated to London, Canada in 1956.
1956.
He was a member of the
Anglican Church and of the Lions
Club.
Surviving besides his wife are
one son, James of Cambridge, and
one daughter, Margaret, Mrs.
Lome Plant of London.
The funeral was held on Sept. 24
from the Tasker Funeral Home in
Blyth. Rev. William Craven offici
ated. Interment was in Ball’s
Cemetery. Pallbearers were Wil
liam Seers, Edward Quinn, Glenn
Towe, Lamont Wilson, Graham

Rabies drop completed
A third airdrop of 15,000 pieces
of fox bait, spiked with a strength
ened liquid rabies vaccine was
dropped or; a 700-hectare portion
of western Huron County last
Wednesday.
Ministry of Natural Resources
aircraft ejected the bait in an area
bounded by Blyth, Clinton, God
erich and Bayfield, in the expecta
tion that wild foxes will find the
morsels and swallow the vaccine.
This area has been used in
similar trials for the last two years,
in an attempt to deliver rabies
vaccine in southern Ontario to
combat the area’s alleged reputa
tion as the “rabies capital of North
America.’’ In 1984, tests were
conducted without vaccine, to
show that foxes would take the
liver-flavouredsponges, and in
1985 rabies vaccine was delivered,
but tests later indicated that
results were not as effective as
anticipated.
The new vaccine, de veiled at
Connaught Laboratories in Toron
to, is similar to a vaccine which has
been field-tested with success in
Europe. It has shown 100 per cent
potential in laboratory tests, and is
expected to effectively retain its
potency for three weeks after it is
dropped.
This is significantly better than
last year’s vaccine which retained
its potency for only three days after
it was dropped, and was estimated
to be 80 per cent effective in
producing rabies immune antibod
ies.
The vaccine used in this year’s
trial will distribute around the
mouth of the fox as it chews the
sponge, and then be absorbed into
its blood system. The sponge will
be smeared with liver and packed
with hamburger to emit a pungent
odor to attract the animals faster.
“Local trappers will once again
play an important role in this
operation,” said Natural Resour
ces Minister Vince Kerrio.
“The bait drop has been timed to
coincide with fox trapping season -
about mid-October and mid
November -- so that we can
examine the fox blood samples
local trappers collect and deter
mine how effective the new vaccine
has been.”
The vaccine has proven safe in
the laboratory should accidental
contact occur with pets or humans.
It should not, however, be consid
ered an adequate immunizing
agent if one of the baits is eaten by a
pet.
The sponge smeared with liver
will be placed in a plastic bag with
the hamburger. The plastic bait
bags are clearly marked with a
warning label. Residents are being
asked not to touch them. The baits
will be dropped away from human
habitation -- on gravel pits, fields
and along the edges of woodlands.
