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.

Times -Advocate, November 4, 1987 Po • e 15A 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.
