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 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, - TheWitigham Advanceon m es PUblislied lit Wingham i Contain) .„ Wattet Erdtherei W, Barry ytrptiger, gditett Stetriber Audit Ottreittx ofCitetliatiati Atitlinif •tedui -Sereond Post Office Deg, NOW loop Rte- One rear $3.60, She Months , $1.310 in advance 11 8, $4.0 per Year 1!4Oreiglit Adte .4.00 Per year rtateo on anpridation NEW ERA 00ENS The-first Of January saw the be- - ginning- of what could well be the .sickest period in Canadian living.

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.

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.
