skunks
The popolation of
Gederich is being plagued by
a rather smelly problem. -
skunks,
The animals, usually found
in more rural areas, have
taken. up residence under the
verandahs of some. of the
town's older home_ and
homeowners are at a loss on
just how to remove the
unwanted visitors from their
property,
The skunks haveeven been
spotted roaming the town
square, council members are
investigating setting a
bountyon the animals which
vvill be paid to local trappers.
Originally some members
of council said the skunks
were the homeowner's pro-
blem, the same way rats and
other pests must be attended
to by the individual,
However, Mayor Peb
Sliewfelt said council has
been receiving so many calls
about the animals that they
couldn't w help dealing with
the problem.
In addition to the annoying
scent of the skunks, some
people are concerned that
the animals are among .the
prime carriers of rabies.
Dr. Thompson, of the
Agriculture. Canada, Health
of Animals branch office
inSeaforth, said on€of the
reasons rabid skunks are so
dangerous is the fact they
can spread the disease for up
to three weeks without
showing any of the
symptoms of rabies.
Dr. Thompson said skunks
are 1.1 nocturnal anima..1 and if
Oncis seen wandering durin

Provincial President Marie
MacGregor called on the
delegates to try to build
public confidence in the
schooll, to counteract
criticism from universities
and business. She pointed
i out that the schools are
coping with many children
who would once have been
regarded as =educable or
vitro Would have dropped out
in elementary .school.
"Considering the range of
activities which are now
considered the responsibility
d the school, the wonder is
that we do as well as we do",
she said.
Executive Secretary, Dr.
Florence Henderson,
reported that almost one-
third of the school boards tit
Ontario do not spend all the
mpney which the province is
willing to provide. The result
is that these areas have
larger classes than
nece.ssary, and may have to
cut school programs which
the children in their area
could have.
Pay Sauncires, General
Secretary of the Jamaica
Teachers' Union, spoke at
the- annual dinner on the
problems of education in the
Tird World. The meeting
was also addressed by Dr.
