It could cost a life. Luc know and. District firemen answered a fire call about 2:30 am. Saturday Morning, but' when they arrived at the location there was no fire. . The caller—had given- an iden- tification which proved to be false and as the firemen learned, thelocation the fir e was also false. Besides the cost to the. Village and surrounding townships to send out the . truck and men when there is no fire, a false alarm could cost a life. Firemen off on, a wild goose chase cannot answer a valid firecall and 'someone trapped in a Miming building could loSe his or her life, because firemen could not respond in time. There is alkr---a certain ainnunt of danger present , on the street when firemen are racing to the firehall to answer a call; Firemen Tace .to a fire in an attempt to get there as anon as possible and again. there ' 'is some danger for them as they speed along townShip=sideroads. Fire is a serious business and not a joke. Whoever made the call should, be aware that if he or she is ap- prehended there is a stiff fine or a jail sentence imposed on anyone guilty of turning in a false fire alarm: Fire is dangerous and a false alarm can be equally as dangerous. Anyone who may have informatibn regarding the incident .Saturday morning is ' asked to contact Lucknow Police Chief, 'George Whitby at 528-3813. •Whplu-04-Whenl. This picture was also contributed by Millie Whitlarn but again, we have only several of the people identified. Taken about. 1943 or 1944, they InClUde Minnie Glenn, Margaret Mack, Wilmer Errington,,Franklin Stingel and Reg AnderSon. Anyone who recognizes a familiar face, please contact the Sentinel:Office. • Letters to .,:the ;editor .... o and when? For the past several weeks we have been publishing' pictures of school children taken in past years at the Dungannon Public School with a title, "Who' and when?" These pictures have been given to the Dungannon 125th birthday celebration committee for, use in their slide presentation, Yesteryear or for display at the Yesteryear presen- tation in the United Church basement during the birthday celebrations. Millie Whitlarn con- tributed the picture published on our editorial page last week. While we have some of the names of those in the picture, we do not have, all identified. For this reason we !are publishing the pictures with the question "Who and when?" in the hope some of our readers will recognize those in the picture, per- mitting us to complete the iden- tification. Should you recognize any of the faces in the pictures we have published or in the pictures we will carry during the weeks before the big celebration, please call the Sentinel 'office or write, to us. While you. will be helping us to learn who the people are, it is also a chance for our readers to participate. Lower prices The Toronto Star recently Carried a story which indicates that small businesses are not necessarily doomed by the, encroachment of huge chain operators. A recent survey of business in North Toronto revealed that many small independent retailers were offering prices for merchandise which were lower than their big chain neighbors. All six retail strips (small stores) had price totals lower than the two malls surveyed, the report stated. Apparently there is room for both types of outlets to survive in the 'Modern climate of diversified business techniques. The Wirigharn Advance Times To the editor: Late spring and early summer are times of the year associated with increased human contact with wild animals. This includes species which, as many of your readers will know, carry rabies. In Huron County the major carriers of rabies are fox and skunic. They may easily 'tran- smit this disease, to' cattle, horses, dogs and cats. A major warning of rabies in an animal' will' be unusual behavior.• For a wild animal, this means that it may los e its wildness and be easyto catch or to play with. A tame, or domestic animal, might become wild and aggressive. While there is no dramatic in- crease in rabies in this area, many people have caught Wild animals, partibularly young foxes. Some of these have later turned out, to be rabid and have placed people at great risk of getting rabies. I would caution farmers to be very wary of a fox or a skunk which is easy to capture. Such animal _behaVior is unusual and shouldbe a 'Warning. Also sensible would be a warning to children tilt to play, with wild animals,of any kind. It is unusual for squirrels or mice or other rodents to be rabid; but they sometimes are. If a child is bitten by a squirrel, and the squirrel cannot be' exarnined. for rabies, there is little choice but 'to administer rabies vaccine to• that child for his• protection. Any person having a concern regarding rabies, should contact his family doctor, The Huron County Health Unit, or the provincial government Health of Animals (Seaforth, Ontario).
