This type of weather, is very conducive to transmitting the disease since cold dQes not 'affect the virus. Diseased animals which die are preserved and any animal which feeds on that carcass is liable to contract the disease. Foxes and skunks are the two main animals ... which are—aftertett—by—the -diseas -bud a means the only ones which will get it. Cattle and horses pre also known to fall prey as well as cats and dogs, but when the incidence is high as it is this year, almost anything can catch it. There have been documented cases of rabies in rabbits, raccoons, muskrats, squirrels and even a meadow mole. Please remember this when you are afield this year. Wild animals are wild, not pets, toys, or playthings as is often depicted on television or in the movies. They are shy and elusive, and anything that breaks this normal pattern of behaviour is a prime suspect for being rabid. Never approach an animal that appears dumb or friendfy. Have your pets innoculated now, if you haven't already, and keep them protected from rabies. Free clinics have been run in most areas, but the few dollars it costs at the vets is cheap insurance. + + + Trappers and coon hunters should know by now that all fur, with the exception of muskrats, must be stamped by the Ministry of Natural Resources. This can be done at the Ministry offices in Wingham, or at the Maintenance Buildings at Hullett on Wednesdays between the hours of 8 am and 12 noon, Holding permits may still be obtained for nuisance catches, road kills' and accidental captures. There. is also a plan -'in the works to set up regulated trapping management areas in the Wingham District which will lead to a standard method used throughout the Province. The Ministry is anxious to hear the views and comments of trappers in this area and hope you will take the time to drop them a letter stating your views on the plan. There are several specific items which they would like you to comment on. One of the biggest items is the size of the territory which the trapper should be allocated. The proposed plan has the district broken up into units of two townships and they would like to hear your comments as to whether these areas would be large enough or not. They also invite you to submit ideas that might permit the trapper, who depends on this trade for a large portion of his income, to trap in an expanded -area. They also want your comments on the "written permission" question, season dates, etc. If you are a trapper, it is your duty to take the time to write this very important letter. +++ Still -looking for a gift for that person who has everything? I found something the other day which might be just the perfect thing. It's called the Camp Kit, but -it's' just as -much at home -in the dining room as the back woods. Manufactured by Kershaw, this knife set is made to suit any oc- casion or demand. The kit is actually a set of three different blades of high quality steel which lock onto a common handle. The first blade is a razor sharp carving blade which is designed to be functional and efficient: The second blade is an equally sharp bread knife, something which is missing in most households. The third blade is something which should be, but seldom is, found in every kitchen. It's a bone saw,° ideal for dividing up a rib roast, and in- dispensable when it comes to dealing with frozen foods. The quality is extremely good and I am very impressed with the appearance and fun= ctionability of this set. If you can't find one locally, a quick note to the Kershaw Cutlery Company, 100 Foothills Road, Lake Oswego, Oregon, U.S.A. 97034 .will get you the name and location of their closest distributor.
