14pasently the circle of higher
wages, higher production costs and
higher prices is away again with
fresh impetus. The rairways - are
406.4' for a 20% increase in, freight
rates; the union of non-operating
railway workers is demanding a
wage increase which the railways'
say they can't pay unless the freight
rates go• up , . . and the net result
will be higher prices on most com-
modities in daily use.. So, before
lone the:union will ask for another
wage ' increase because the cost of

RIGHT ON THE.
DOORSTEP
So far we have done nothing in
this community about the threat of
rabies. We haven't even obeyed the
law to tie up our dogs. There has
liecn.no. discussion of a clinic to pro-
test doplestic pets against the dis-
ease, . thciigh there .are now proven
cases' in the immediate' countryside.
This disease is not one to be
taken;- lightly. or dismissed without
due 'thotight. One rabid dog at
loose in .town could easily leave a
tatal, infection with eight or ten
children in' .a space of two hours.
Tbeinfection is dreadfully. danger-
oUS.to humans and its threat would
Se tO -call for emergency action.
" Police iand council are seriously
hampered in' their efforts to, have•
dogs confined , to• the owners' prop-
etty.. The present by-law does not
permit a dog to be picked up on any
private -pr,operty and no officer is
willing to', shoot a stray animal be-
cause of almost certain repercus-
sionOn. case the dog turns out to be
some property owner's pet.
These- are considerations which,
Under ',ordinary considerations do
present ;very real difficulties. Or-
dinary conditions, however, leave
the dog purely'in the nuisance cate-•
gOry,as-,he romps about town durpp-
ittk, garbag-e pails and uprooting
young lettuce plants.
Conditions - are no longer or-
dinary. V.1qth a 'widespread epidemic

ties ,o1 the Province prompt action

TOTII:L A GREAT NEED
Although there has been no pub-
lice announcement as ' yet, it would
appear' that a move is afoot to rec-
ognize a ',need in the field of public
institutions which haS existed for
Many years. Both Bruce ,and Huron
COUntiesllave passed oft the neceS-
sary. eXp'efiditures •for tremendous
additions, to their c'ounty homes.
These additions have been spoken Of
'irrierrni d.the' number of beds which
will be contained in them—upwards
of 100'in each case.
A'98-bed addition would mean a
wing- as large as our total hospital '
accommodation in Wingham, which
indicatei that a large increase in in-
mate population is anticipated.
It is more than likely that the
hospitalization coverage plan which •
opens on January first will mean a
very large' increase in the number of
patients asking admittance at the
regAlar hospitals in each municipal- ,
ity. Although there has been no
official' statement it would appear
Ahat many patients' who 'are now
occupying', hospital beds will be mov-
ed on- to the' nursing' wards of the
county homes..
If, such is the case, there will no
doubt be considerable complaint
from families' all over the two coun-
ties as relatives would-then be far-
ther front their homes in most cases.
Rovvever, the need for some ACCOl-h-
rtrodatiotl, other than local hospitals,
for these chronic patients- has been
felt for many years, and; ;smite' move
of this nature has been virtually
inevitable,
Many details of the hospital plan
arid; precitelf , how it wilt effect cit-
izens generally' still await clarifi-
cation, Time and some operation of
the stherne wilt be required before
we are clear on its benefits and its
drawbacks.
