Pudden said at a news conference that most cases around Middlesex,in- volve "incursions" of rabid wild animals - usually foxes - from sur- rounding counties. ,He displayed a map showing Mid- dlesex as an island of low rabies out- break probablity surrounded by coun- ties with a high probablility, including Elgin, Oxford, Perth, Huron and parts of Lambton and Kent. Pudden said geography is one of the main reasons rabies is so prevalent in Southwestern Ontario. Foxes, a major carrier, migrate to water and the area is hemmed in by Georgian Bay, Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Health unit statistics show 111 reported cases on animal rabies in London and Middlesex so far this year, compared with 58 in the same period in 1985. More than 100 people have received anti -rabies shots, com- pared with 72 last year.

The Grand Bend site was used for such training as part of the RCAF base at Centralia. Board said the show will be humorous in nature, but will include some war -time experiences. Successful actors will be paid $50 per day, he reported, and they will be required for about three days. If the pilot is successful, the series will probably run on Global TV. Board is also seeking cars, vans and a firetruck from the 1935-40 era. A Toronto film company will be shooting a pilot TV show in the area this fall and have invited men bet- ween the ages of 18 to 23 to try out for spots. Interviews with the prospects will be held this Thursday from noon to 2:00 p.m. at the former Bell Aerospace plant at Grand Bend. That will also be the site for the TV pilot which will start shooting in November. A FIELD HOCKEY GOAL — Members of the South Huron girls field hockey team return to their starting positions after scoring a goal in Friday's 4-0 win over Listowel. T -A photo By MPP Jack Riddell The second session of the 33rd parliament resumed at Queen's Park last week with a heavy legislative agenda facing all members. The Government opened the ses- sion with a pledge to continue to strive to make minority government work, with the co-operation of the opposition parties. Several key pieces of legislation command immediate attention. In housing. the Residential Rent Regula- tions Act ( Bill 51) is before the Resources Development Committee at Queen's Park. As Housing Minister Alvin Curling has said, this bill is significant in that it provides the tenants of Ontario with zeal and universal protection from unfair rent increases, it provides for the revitalization of rental housing con- struction in this province and it tach Back in session creates a system of rent review that is fair and equitable: The coming session will see prp- gress on a comprehensive. ,study health care in the province, under the direction of Dr. John Evans. With the welcome participation of the Ontario Medical Association, the study will provide recommendations on the future delivery of health care in Ontario. Premier David Peterson returns to the house fresh from Ontario's highly successful trade mission to Japan, China and Korea. The 16 -day, three country mission has been a concrete step in meeting the need to open up markets in the Asian Pacific Rim and to maintain and improve markets here at home. It is particularly important for the economic future of young people in Ontario that the ground work is laid now so that we can take advantage of these markets in the future. Many of the jobs of tomorrow will be tied to business with nations of the Pacific Rim. Crop Insurance Review This fall, the adverse weather has not been conducive to some Ontario farmers harvesting their crops, and many of these food producers have expressed concern about the Fededral-Provincial Crop Insurance Program. As a result, I along with Federal Agriculture Minister John Wise have agreed that a major public review of this important program should be ASTAR© is capturing the attention of children The War Amputations of Canada's friendly robot from planet DANGER appears on television with a warning for youngsters: "Yours is a dangerous world, so PLAYSAFE." Josee, a member of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, is one good reason why The War Amps must reach the very young with the PLAYSAFE mes- sage. A month before Josee's fourth birthday, the .fades of a lawn mower severed her left leg. ASTAR appeals to children who are too young to know the consequences of playing in dangerous places.

I carries a maximum fine of $5,000. Pudden said the health unit intends to first ask detected violators to have their pets immunized before con- templating charges. The mandatory program, which goes into effect November 1, is being bolstered by an Animal Health Month program sponsored by the health unit and the London And Area Veteri- narians' Association. Two shutouts in field hockey carried out in Ontario. The purpose of the program review would be to make recommendations., for;changes,or imppovem nts. to the:: Crop Insurance Program - if required, or deemed desirable. Crop Insurance, which was in- itiated 20 years ago and has served farmers well, has had strains placed on it by shifting farmer demands and the current economic conditions. Earlier this year, I had already taken the first steps by establishing a sub -committee, composed of Crop Insurance officials and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to review the program and identify issues for future study. As a result, this major review will be carried out with details • on committee members, where and when public meetings will take place to be jointly announced later by Mr. Wise and myself. New National Park The Province of Ontario will donate land and other capital improvements, valued at $8.5 million, to the federal government to establish the Bruce Peninsula National Park. My colleague, Natural Resources Minister Vincent Kerrio announced recently that agreement in principle had been reached with federal En- vironment Minister Tom McMillan on the transfer of land to the federal goverment for the 270 -square - kilometre park at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. "Ontario will donate 7,000 hectares of land, including two provincial parks and their . capital im- provements, to the Bruce Peninsula National Park," Mr. Kerrio said. "These lands will form almost half of the new park." The provincial Crown lands, valued at $6 -million, include Fathom Five and Cyprus Lake Provincial Parks, a junior ranger camp, and all of the associated facilities which the Ministry of Natural Resources has put on those sites. The improvements are valued at $2.5 -million. "I have also agreed that there should be no hunting within the na- tional park," Mr. Kerrio said. "However, I have identified an area of approximately 3,800 hectares in the southwest corner of the study area which will not be included in the park," Mr. Kerrio said. "By doing this, a portion of the area can be re- tained for the hunting activities which are so much a part of the area's tradition." Grape Growers Surplus Ontario grapes will be pur- chased under a program I announc- ed along with Federal Agriculture Minister John Wise. Up to 16,190 tons of 1.986 surplus grapes will be bought by the Agricultural Products Board and resold for wine, brandy and juice, mostly outside of Ontario. The net cost of the program estimated at $3.55 million, will be shared equally by the federal govern- ments, Ontario government and growers through the Ontario Grape Growers' Marketing Board. The federal government is advan- Ling $4.36 million for purchasing the grapes. Part of these funds will be recovered when the product is sold. The remainder will represent the federal sha8e of the program's cost. Huron Apothecary Ltd.

The SHDHS field hockey team hosted the Huron -Perth final game on Tuesday. Basketball at South Huron The vets have agreed to knock 25 percent off their fee for the physical examination and rabies immuniza- tion of pets brought in during 'November. • A rabies • education program has been launched in elementaty schools in London and across the county to en- courage youngsters to avoid strange 'animals and have their pets immunized. The SHDHS senior girls basketball team only managed to win one of their five games this week. The Panthers won their game 29-23 against Woodstock Collegiate. Top scorer of the game -was Kellie Whiteford with 14 points. In their games against Medwayand Philip Pocock the team lost 36-24 and 36-21. Kellie Whiteford was high scorer in both of the games with 10 and 11 points. The senior girls were wiped out in their other two games. Against Catholic Central they lost 46-15 and against Stratford Northwestern the score was 74-16. The girls play Mitchell today at the local high school. The junior girls basketball team lost both of their league games Wednesday and Monday. On Wednesday,_ the girls lost to Medway with a score of 34-28. Top scorer for the Panthers was Cassie VanDongen with eight points. The team lost to Stratford Nor- thwestern 45-22 on Friday. Cassie VanDongen was also the high scorer in this game with 10 points. The Panthers play.at the school to- day with a game against Listowel. Dr. Ray McNabb, a spokesman for the veterinarians association, said the program is "better than anything that's ever been proposed before." He said free clinics drew hordes of pet owners but didn't provide a real awareness of what rabies is all about. Owners bringing pets into veterinacy offices during November will have a chance to ask questions and get answers. Billy Bishop opens season The Grand Theatre's 1986/87 season will open officially on Friday,October 24, with John Gray and Eric Peter- son's Billy Bishop Goes to War, which runs to November 15. Directed by Larry Lillo, with set and costume designs by Pam Johnson and lighting design by Robert Thomson, this musical tribute to Canada's World War I flying ace will be performed by Morris Panych with Ken MacDonald. Based on World War I adventures of William Avery Bishop, who battl- ed illness, accident and imperialist at titudes to become the Royal Flying Corps' top ace, Billy Bishop Goes to War is a tribute to the spirit of the first fighter pilots. With the star play- ing seventeen different characters, the show has become the stuff of legend as much as its celebrated hero: Billy Bishop Goes to War was in- spired by Bishop's autobiographical Winged Warfare, published when he was still a novice pilot in the Royal Flying Corps. Bishop received the highest military honours during World War I and enjoyed an il- lustrious career as the leading 'ace' of the RFC. It was his colonial Status that set him apart, both in a war wag- ed by the imperial powers and in an area of battle then dominated by the nobility. For John Gray and Eric Peterson, the vision of a Canadian reaching such heights of glory was fascinating. The resulting play became one of the most successful Canadian works ever staged, enjoy- ing acclaim from audiences and critics across Canada, as well as New York and London. , COMES CLOSE — Jeff Denotter was the top ground gainer for the junior Panthers against Goderich with 214 yards. Above, he heads for the 5/ikings' goal line, but, didnt' score. Pinery All GTI 0 N at Pinery Auction Barn ' 1 Hwy. 21, 3 miles south of Grand Bend.
