At an • estimated cost of $5,000. Harry Firth of London, Commission of Boy Scouts in Western Ontario addressed the club and pointed out that between 1919 and 1920 the Exeter Scout Troupe received the first charter issued in Ontario. Previously the charters were issued in England. The first location con- sidered was in the Com- munity Park south of the grandstand, but, this site was unavailable. In August 1955 the Town Council decided to sell the land for the building to the Lions Club for $10.

Ken McNicol of Elimville, owner of the dog, first fired a shot at the fox, wounding it. The fox wandered to the neighbouring farm of Ron Parsons. Parsons shot and killed the fox behind his barn. McNicol's dog, a short- haired Newfoundland, has been vaccinated for rabies, but it is not yet known whether the dog has con- tracted the disease. It will be tied up until word has been heard about the fox and will be quarantined for nine to fourteen days if necessary. The fox was sent to the Health of Animals branch of the Agriculture Department in Seaforth for tests. District veterinarian, Dr. W. Thompson, said there hasn't been much trouble in Huron County with rabid animals. Last fall there were some problems in Usborne Township with foxes mixing with farm animals. But Thompson said that "in the past two or three ▪ weeks there has been an upswing in the number of calls about rabid animals." Lately there have been reports of foxes fighting with dogs in Seaforth. Thompson said that skunks are the most dangeroUs carriers of rabies because they can spread the disease in their saliva for quite a while before they actually come dawn with it. The department has no intention of setting up vaccination clinics for rabies in the area. Thompson said, "We're not all that sold on the idea that vaccinations prevent rabies." He said that it's the farm dogs and cats which really should be vaccinated, but they rarely get to the clinics. Instead, it's the town pets which crowd the clinics, and Elaine Baynham, Exeter's crossing guard for the past few years, has been hired as the full-time secretary for the police department. Mayor Derry Boyle 'Said that because she was a part- time employee of the town, she was given first priority after submitting an ap- plication for the position. She assumes her new duties on June 1 at a starting salary of $7,000. That will be boosted to $7,500 after a six- month probationary period. Mrs. Baynham was one of six people interviewed for the job. Boyle said the other five interviewed candidates were equally qualified. Some 78 applications were received. Deputy-Reeve Harold Patterson. a member of the they're the ones with the least danger of contracting the disease. Thompson also said that vaccinations aren't 100 percent effective. The vaccine may be dead before it is injected into the animal and some animals are simply immune to the vaccine. If people want their pets vaccinaed, they should contact their local veterinarian. executive committee, asked who had interviewed the applicants. Boyle replied that he, Chief Ted Day and Reeve Don MacGregor had un- dertaken the task, although he said he supposed that he should have called the entire committee into the matter, Mrs. Don Mason has been recommended as a replacement for Mrs. Baynham as the crossing guard until the end of the current school term, In another matter related to the police, Wolfe's Cleaning Service has been granted an increase to $200 per week, due to increased duties associated with the new police building. The firm has not received an increase since 1978.
