Small Attendance Weather Unf For Ch The charter meeting of the Huron County Beef Improve- ment Association last Thursday in Clinton, was attended by only 35 people, because of the weather conditions. Only six of the sixteen elected directors, one from each of the sixteen townships, were able to be present. The purpose of the new as- sociation is to promote improve- ment in the quality of beef cattle in Ontario. Meetings, field days and tours will be held to inform members on the latest developments in the beef cattle industry. Other aims are to provide information to producers and marketers, and through the provincial associa- tion, to co-operate with govern- ment in legislative programs pertaining to the industry. It was decided to hold a meeting of directors to name the first executive. The direc- tors are: Robert McGregor, Tucker - smith Township; Harry Dougall, Usborne Township; Winston E.

"Art" Musgrave, who chaired a goodly portion of the commodity sessions, pre- siding over the spirited debates with his usual sound judgement and good humour. It was a good meeting, marked by a great deal of ear- nest deliberation on the press- ing problems of the agricultural industry. In the election of officers that followed the open sessions, H. H.

Mr. McGregor pointed out that the Beef Producers would no longer be associated with the Federation of Agriculture because it would not be a com- modity group. Bob Eaton, fieldman for the Federation said that the new association will be conducted similar to the Crop Improvement Association. Rabies Cases In Huron Co. Dr. J.C. MacLennan of the Health Animals branch in Sea - forth, reports that six cases of rabies were confirmed in Huron during January. There were three foxes, two skunks and a cattle beast. Since February 1, Dr. Mac- Lennan says several cases of rabies have been diagnosed in cattle on three separate prem- ises; two in Hullett Township and one in Howick. All are believed to have originated from rabid skunk contacts. Dogs and cats allowed to run at large are a hazard. Most persons would hesitate to handle wild animals but would not be concerned about a stray dog or cat. The doctor said that since domestic animals with rabies have a history of con-, tact with rabid or suspiciously rabid foxes or skunks, they may well be Just as dangerous as wild life.
