asst Tuesday was ,the.
first ?Fun Day" for the
ladles and it turned into a
day arid, a night that those

Rabies is still around in Huron County' and
precautions should be taken. 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.
