THE TRUTH IS
two weeks: ago the Cuban
.40,11biosa.d or to Canada filed a for-
** protest with our state depart --
1.N% because of a program which
'had appeared on the 013C television
network, Ambassador and the gov-
ernM en t he represented at that time
felt that the program bad east a too -
favorable light upon the cause of the
rebel forces in Cuba.
Fortunately, before the Canadian
government was forced into any
drastic action over the matter the
erstwhile Cuban government fell be-
fore the rebel forces and presumably
there wilt be big bouquets of flowers
on their way from the Cuban em-
bassy to the state department.
• The whole matter poses a prob-
lent in international ethics which is
hard to fathom. Should the govern-
merit of another nation refrain .from
all comment about the internal
A TEAM WORTH
'WATCHING
Wingham hockey fans are 'appar-
ently waking up to the fact that. the
local Crawford 'Dodgers, interme-
diate 13 entry; are well worth watch-
in g this season. About 400 turned,'
cItit for the game on Saturday night, -
• indicative of the new interest which
.the.1958-59 team has aroused.
'There are Several good reasons
for this fresh support for the hockey
club, chief of which is the inclusion
of quite a few younger players who
were not on the intermediate line-tip
in previeus years. They are the
„,tbe ,graduates of the former chain-
- ionship midget and juvenile teams
,which headed their classes in On-
tario sport for several years.
The young players, o.Ctiar'se, do ,
:5aot make the whole team.- They. are- "
'ibacked by veterans of previous sea-
i§ons 1V110 !oontribute,eNperience,atid,,i1 ,,
;solid playing know-how. The net ,
,tresult i a'brand of'hoekey that is
4,c.eeping the fans right up on their;
---,Toes and bringing them back to
uture games. • • •
• After several seasons in which
.11-iermediate hockey failed to draw a
oi-poral's guard, it IS refreshing and
11.6;ettraging to see a decent -crowd
the arena. The improved crowds
ican a great deal to the players
:themselves; for it can be pretty dis-
,Couraging to beat one's heart' out for
•'the old home town, when the empty.
seats show plainly that the home
town doesn't .give a hoot whether
you win or lose. Better crowds
mean better hockeyy,
There is another aspect, too.
which is very important in this com-
munity. Every taxpayer in the town
has a financial 8take in the arena,
whether he realizes it or not. When -
- the arena loses money, Which it has ,
done for several years past, the town
council has no choice but to come
to its - rescue, and rightly. so. The
town fathers certainly cannot let a
community investment like the
arena fall to pieces for lack of
money. The only answer to the
financial problem is good, strong"
crowds in the arena, so that it can
.be expectedAo' pay its way.
The Wingham arena stands
where it does, with artificial ice,
cement floor and all, because a
majority of the people of the town
txPressed their approval of the re-
quired expenditures, This same
majority should logically be expect-
ed to turn out for the games which
are 'played on the. ice the public de-
manded,
However, you don't have to come
to hockey games this year just to
soothe your conscience, Come out
and sample one of these red-hot
encounters and you will be back for
more,

NEW ERA 00ENS
The-first Of January saw the be-
- ginning- of what could well be the
.sickest period in Canadian living.
The new hospital plan will provide
its with what is IleXt thing. to Com-
pulsory hospitalization insurance.
Since all services at a hospital, in-
cluding drugs, X-rays etc), will be
paid but of insurance funds, there
will be no hesitation about entering
such an institution for treatment.
Naturally patients will not be
iadmitted unless a- qualified medical
'dObtOf ag-rees that hospitalization is
-riee'eSS'ary, but in any case the draw-
back of financial obligation has been
largely removed. In addition, thons-
.andl of people have invested in in-
tillnees oft:various tyPes which will
cover physicians' services as well, •so"
being ill luzl.y have Some attrattions
for those who like to be that way..
There iS'a strong possibility' that
the :dernandfor hospital beds will be-
come so urgent that many mum-
cipafitieS Will be faced with the need
for. new Wings and other costly
building programs. ..At that point
the new shoe will certainly begin to
pinch, for' the hospital insurance
fund provided by the provincial corn-
„mission does not yet include any
money -for capital expendititre. New
wings, or new equipment will have
to -be provided by the towns and
cities and townships which require
the extras.,
Doctors, too, are likely to be faced
-with an increasing burden of persons
who need, or think they need, med-
ical attention, The development of
health insurance and hospitalization),
plans during the past 15 years has
added tremendously to the work: of
doctors all over the country, and
this latest phase of protection may
bring on a tremendous additional
burden.
The general, practitioner who
looks after our ailments in towns
the size of Wingham is a metriber of
a rapidly shrinking class of Physic- ,
ians. He is the doctor who is con-
cerned more with his mission in life
than with the extra dollars per day,
he could make by turning himself
into a specialist iii some big dity,
where working hours would give
him a regular' sleep at tights and
Saturdays at the lake with the Wife
and children. •
One of the most valuable benefits
we have ever thought of in the type
of life we live here in Winghain is
the personal ancr conscientious care
assured by our local doctors. We

RABIES INFORMATION
RELEASED BY KUL
The following.i information about
the .Ourront OPidenda of rabies
was prepared by Pr. R. X,
medical noicnr of licatil for
roll County,
Rabies or hydrophobia Is a virus
infection which attacks the tier.
veva system. It Is spread to huv
mans and warm-blooded animals
by the introduction into the body
of the rabies virus, and this is pa.,
OallY by the bite of .tr* rabid animal.
On rare occasion,s It has developed
from the contact of the saliva of,
such an .animal with a scratch nr
othbr break in the skin of the vic-
tim.
Because of various factors such
as the intervention of clothing, the
severity and position of the
rabies does not rieceSsarily develop
following en attack by an infected
animal. Some authorities state
that only five to fifteen per cent
of persons bitten by rabid dogs,
and untreated, actually develop
the di'sease,
The incubation period varies
with the site and severity of the
Wound and may be two to six weeks
or longer. Once the symptoms of
rabies appear in man or animal
-death follows in two to six days, ,
In dogs the earlv symptoms aie.,
Change of disposition, reatleasness,
less of, appetite tendeney to hide,
Soon the appetite becomes Abnor-
mal and the animal may try to eat
%lass, stores, etc. Later it may
rosh about in a staggering way,
falling down from time to time. At
this dine snaoping and biting ten-
dencies are common, saliva pours
out of the mouth, and the, bark is
harsher, The final stage is one of
naralYsis, with 'the lower jaw and
1iit,c1 limbs first affected, • Though
the animal may by this time he lin.
able to stand, it Can often still bite.
Oeath occurs after a few clays' ill-
ness., „
Cettain variations may °deur in
the illness, and the paralytic symp-
toms rna,y be more.prominent, with
little of the "furious" behaviour,
Even in animals' with none of the
zlassical symptoms, the' labOratory
has established a diagnosis of ra-
bies.
The Do, Tax' arid Live Stock
Protection Act provides for by-
laws to be passed by local muni-
cipalities for the licensing of dogs
and the control of any running at
large. itabies vaccination is advis-
able for dogs, especially if they are
allowed to run on a farm or are
used for hunting. The animal vac,
eine for rabies IS Sate and may 1,3s scented at nominal cost from a
practising . veterinarian.
.Not only dogs, but cats, foxes,
Wolves • and other warm-bioOded
animals may carry rabies. Live-
stack May -become infected by at-f
tacks from rabid animals, ,and
should, therefore, he vaccinated
when enid,ernic threatens.
There are special people in .yOur
area who can help when rabies
threatens. For example, in tbe
case of illness in pets and livestock,
a veterinarian can advise the own-
er; in case of wildlife, a conserva-
tion officer of the Ontario De-,
Partment of Lands and Ferests is
ready to assist; where stray dogs
or cata show strange behaviour,
the dogcatcher or police should be
notified.
Th8. final authority, however,
with regard td, rabies in -animals, is
the Health of Animals Olvision Of'
the Canada Department Of Agricul-
ture. The Health of Aniinals of-
gee for this county • is situated in
the post office building, Seaforthc
telephone 372. Notify them of all
cases of animal rabies.
ShOuld hiurien be bitten by a
rabid, or suspect rabid. animal,
wash the wound promptly with
soap and water and place the pa-
tient under the care of a physic-
-fan. 'Notify the medical office); of
health, Do NOT shoot or destroy
the dog or atilt-nal which attacked.
The animal, howover, should be
confined in a safe Mace tinder vet-
erinary, supervision for at least 14
'days, The premature killing of the
animal might :prevent accutate
diagnosis of rabies. Since rabies
Vaccination of humans is still a
serious procedure and not.Without
complications, physicians do net
wish to proceed with it unless the
danger is real. ".
If it is impossible to safely con-
fine a suspect .animal which has
attaCked or insured a human, de-
struction of the animal becoMes
necessary. 'Under these citenm-
'ends at the Ma0William . and
Parker homes*,
Visa PrancesRobinson has been
accepted • by the Women's Royal
Canadian, Naval Serviee and ex-
poets to repott it: the near future,
