Two anniversaries celebrated
By BERNICE BOYLE
Dashwood
Two Dashwood couples were united
in marriage by Rev. Burns in the
Crediton parsonage at 2 p.m. Nov. 1,
1947. The couples were Mary
MacGregor and Ralph Weber and Joy
Desjardine and Gerald Mason. For-
ty years later each of their families
surprised them with separate parties.
TheWebers' son and daughter-in-
law, Bill and Ginger and daughter
Diane Eagleson took them to
Oakwood Inn for Brunch. Later in the
afternoon 75 relatives and friends sur-
prised them by showing up in the
church basement for supper. Guests
were from ;Southampton, London,
Parkhill and Dashwood.
The Mason family surprised their
parents, Joy and Gerald by taking
them td the Oakwood Inn for brunch"
Later they held an open house at the
Shipka Community Centre with 100
relatives, friends and neighbours
registered.
An interesting part to this story, the
two couple left by car on their honey-
moon 40 years ago to the western pro -
vinces, their destination Red Deer,
Alberta, but due to a snow storm they
stopped at Lethbridge, Alberta.
Congratulations to both couples on
their 40th anniversary.

Plan conference on services
Chapter Two: New Directions is the
title of a one day conference which
will take place on Thursday,
November 12 in Clinton. Sponsored by
the iluron County Community Ser-
vices Council, this conference is a
follow-up on last year's "Voices for
Choices" conference when par-
ticipants helped to identify needs,
gaps and overlaps in services provid-
ed to those in the county such as the
physically and developmentally han-
dicapped, youth, older adults and
those with mental health problems or
other special needs.
Mrs. Joan Spittal, chairperson of
the conference planning committee,
has announced that the conference
will be held at Huronview because of
its, easy accessibility and the
availability of separate areas for the
individual workshops. Topics for the
various workshops will be announced,
Spittal says, as soon the resource peo-
ple and panelists have been finalized.
The registration fee of $15 per per-
son will cover attendance at three
workshops, lunch and coffee breaks.
Persons who have special needs for
attendant care, an interpreter (for the
hearing impaired) or funding, in
order to attend this conference should
contact either Jean Young or Bev
Brown at 357-3222 or 1-800-365-3039.
The conference is open to the public
and will provide an opportunity for
care providers, both individual
volunteers and agencies, to become
better acquainted and find out how
they can help each other in theirquest
to improve the quality of life for
residents of Huron County.
TheCommunity Services Council is
hoping that a representative from
every municipal council in Huron will
attend this conference along with
representatives from churches, ser-
vices clubs, senior citizen clubs,
hospitals and Women's Institutes..
'Spittal says that anyone who is work-
ing with or interested in youth,
seniors, handicapped, mental health,
transportation, housing, employe-
ment or information services will find
something useful at this conference.

mation or a brochure, please call
Joan Spittal at 524-8323 or Jean Young'
at 357-3222. In the event of a mail
strike please register by telephone at
either of the above numbers.
Some of the needs identified at last
year's "Voices For Choices" con-
ference are already being met by ex-
panded home support programs and
new programs in Huron County.
Volunteer drivers are now
available throughout the County to
provide transportation to medical ap-
pointments, shopping; social and
recreational activities for those who
do not have access to other means of
transportation, Also, heavy
housecleaners and handymen can be
hired through Town and Country
Homemakers.
For the town of Goderich there is
now a 24-hour distress line available
Telecare -- to those who are feeling
lonely, anxious or distressed.
In Bayfield 25-30 seniors meet once
a week at the community centre for
the diners' club - a home -cooked meal
and light entertainment with
sometimes a TV dinner to take home.
There will be a review at the
November 12 conference of services
already in place and also of services
in the process of being implemented
throughout Huron County.

MIL
PASTOR ORDAINED — Pastor Larry Stojkovic of Zion Lutheran Church in Dashwood was ordained in
Hamilton Sunday. Pastor Stojkovic and his wife Jill are shown in the centre. At the left are Jill's parents
Rev. and Mrs. Dueker and at the right are Larry's parents.
Dashwood pastor ordained
About 75 members of the Dashwood
Lutheran Church congregation
travelled to Pilgrim Lutheran Church
in Hamilton, Sunday.
They witnessed the ordination of
their pastor Larry Stephan Stojkovic.
The installation service for Pastor
Stojkovic will be held at 3:30 p.m.,
Sunday afternoon, November 15 at
Zion in Dashwood.
Pastor Stojkovic was born in St.
Thomas, baptized at Grace Lutheran
Church in West Lorne and confirmed
at Pilgrim Lutheran Church in
Hamilton.
Upon graduating from Southmount
Secondary School he attended Con-
cordia Lutheran College in Ann Ar-
bor, Michigan, where he received his
B.A. in 1983. He entered Concordia
Lutheran Theological Seminary in the
fall of '83 and will graduate with a
Masters of Divinity in the spring of
1988.
In January of this year he receiv-
ed his vicarage assignment to Zion
Lutheran Church in Dashwood and a
call was extended to him to serve as
their pastor.
In August of 1985 he married Jill
Rabies is a
real problem
Rabies has been a serious problem
in Ontario since the 1950's. In 1986 it
reached epidemic proportions with
more rabid animals and more people
needing treatment than ever before.
In just one year there was a 165 per-
cent increase in animal rabies; from
2,124 in 1985 to 3,507 in 1986. A near
record 2,150 people were treated for
exposure to rabies in 1985. By 1986,
that number had jumped to 4,212 -- a
staggering 196 percent increase.
Southern Ontario has the highest
concentration of animal rabies in
North America. More than 121 cases
of animal rabies have been reported
in the city of London and Middlesex
County so far this year. As a result,
118 people have received the post-
exposure anti -rabies vaccine in this
area, spokesperson for the Middlesex -
London Health Unit said this week.
Accordingly, most cases of human
antirabies treatments result from
contact with cats and dogs which
have been infected by a rabid animal.
Under a provincial regulation that
was adopted in the city of London and
Middlesex County last year, all dogs
and cats, three months of age and
over, must be vaccinated against
rabies. This regulation is intended to
protect people from the disease.
The rabies virus is transmitted
through the rabid animal's saliva by
a bite, or contact with a cut or sore
or the eyes, nose or mouth of another
animal or person. The disease has an
incubation period of 10 days to one
year, during which time no symptoms
show. An infected animal may be con-
tagious four to five days before symp-
toms appear.
Although vaccinating domestic
animals is the only barrier between
rabies and people, only 40 percent of
dogs and 15 percent of cats in Ontario
are currently immunized. Most of the
human exposures to the disease occur
from contact with domestic unim-
munized dogs and cats -- often one's
own household pets.
The Middlesex -London Health Unit
and the London and area
veterinarians are sponsoring
"Animal Health Month". During
November, pet owners can obtain a
physical examination and rabies vac-
cination for their dogs and cats at a
reduced price, from their local
veterinarian's office.
An immunization certificate will be
issued to the owner, indicating when
and where the animal was vaccinated
and when the vaccination must be
repeated. In addition, a rabies iden-
tification tag will be provided for each
vaccinated dog and cat. Pet owners
who do not comply with the regulation
are subject to a maximum fine of
$5,000.
The Middlesex -London Health Unit
urges all dog and cat owners to get
their dogs and cats immunized.
Please contact your local
veterinarian for an appointment and
"Remember November"!
People should blow their own horn.
After all, they're really the only ones
who know the tune.
Dueker, of Rochester, New York. to their stay in Dashwood and serv-
Both he and Jill are looking forward ing the people there.
