This spring it is of special concern in built up areas where wild animals... particularly skunks...are infecting pets and children who come in contact with them. Children should be warned to avoid wild animals, especially if they appear sick or friendly because these usually are signs that they are rabid. Pets should be regularly vaccinated and kept indoors at night. You can also help to control rabies by reporting any pets or wild animals which seem to be acting strangely to your local police, humane society or health unit. Do not touch dead animals and contact your doctor or health unit immediately if your child or pet comes in contact with wild animals. Do not handle your pet with bare hands • immediately after it has fought with a rabid animal, Seek advice from a veterinarian.

When the new Provincial Offences Act was passed, fines for drinking offences and unnecessary noise fines were set at a uniform rate across the province, This meant fines, for these of- fences were drastically reduced in Huron County, Under the Act, fines for liquor offences were reduced from $104 to $38. Council noted and filed a resolution from the Dunn- ville town council, regarding the establishment of a disaster relief fund to assist municipalities in time of need. Reeve Harold Knight said, "To me, there is a disaster relief fund, it's called in- surance." Council members con- cluded the best disaster relief possible is for homeowners to carry adequate insurance. Since a similar resolution was raised at a recent AMO convention, council members decided to note and file the Dunnville resolution. Council received a letter from Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Tom Wells that the provincial government has decided ,to continue a uniform two year term of office for all municipalities. The government, according to the letters, "concluded that the municipal electorate deserves the continued right to evaluate the response and effectiveness of their local representatives at a reasonable interval." Some city councils in the province had asked the ,provincial government to consider extending the electoral term to three years.

Court Continued from front page February 15 when their vehicle became stuck and they "borrowed" a truck from a shed to pull them- selves out. The truck was damaged in the incident, but full restitution had been made. The owner of the truck indicated that had he known the circumstances, he would not have pressed charges. Only one case was heard by Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake when he presided in Exeter court, Tuesday. In that one, Agnes A. Cottrell, Hensall, was fined $28 for following another vehicle too closely on March 14. A witness reported she pulled off the highway because she feared the accused may hit the rear of her vehicle. Mrs. Cottrell was travelling just ahead of an OPPcruiser at the time. No accident was involved in the charge and the visibility was poor at the time due to drifting snow.
