The deer popU lation is fairly plentiful now and a deer season would not do any great harm. County approved the sugges- tion providing t h e adjacent counties also have a similar op- en season on the same dates. Live fox pups are required presently for experimental pur- poses. The animals will begiv- en a new anti -rabies serum, re- leased and tests made to discov- er whether or not the animal is immune to the disease. Foxes are thought to be the most sus- ceptable to rabies. It was noted that not all mu- nicipal clerks claim the ears off a dead fox when the bounty is paid. Charles Thomas said it doesn't harm the pelt to take the ears since artificial ears are used on fox fur wraps. Incident- ially, council learned the foX pelt is gaining in value now be- cause fox fur is regaining its popularity in the fashion world. It is hoped this improved pelt market will encourage more fox hunters. Council was told the bounty on foxes does not seem to be do- ing'too much to keep the fox population down. Council has rejected a re- quest by Elmer Hunter, chair- man of the local committee re- garding One General Farm Or- ganization, for financial assist- ance with regard to the proposed vote in June. It is hoped that either the chairman of the County Devel- opment Committee, Roy Patti- son. or someone appointed by him will attend some meetings of the Huron Soil and Crop As- sociation. During Friday's session, a period of silence was observed in memory of the late Elston Cardiff,' the late William. Sweitzer and the late Clayton Smith, all former members of Huron County Council. 19 vacancies in Huron-Peri separate schools There are nineteen teacher vacancies for Separate schools in Huron -Perth the Separate School Board, was informed at a meeting held last Monday night at St. James' Separate School, Seaforth, by the acting.

Names will not be used in print; however, all questions should be accompanied by a complete' name and address of the person submitting the question. Q: Would you please inform me if there is a law in the books about lights or reflectors for saddle horses after dark. A: No, there is not. All vehicles must have lights, ' and a horse is not a vehicle. Even though there is no law covering it, it only makes sense to have a light on at night. Remem- "Jper, 'you are a long time dead. 0--0--0 Q: Is it legal to have a cat- tle call horn on a car, and if it is, is it legal to blow it in town or in the country? A: Yes, it would be legal as long as ii does not produce a sound which so nearly resem- bles that produced by.a siren horn, as to deceive or confuse. Section 42(3) states, "A 'person having the control or charge of a. motor vehicle shall not sound any bell, horn or other signall- ing device so as to make an un- reasonable noise. " 0--0--0 Q: Recently I lost my driv- er's license and I made appli- cation for a new one, which I received. Yesterday I found the one I lost. What should I do now? I understand that I can't have two driver's licenses in my possession.

Would you please tell me what is the right procedure. to follow when someone is back- ing into a parking space be- tween two parked cars in town? I have always thought the car behind said' parking car is to wait for it to get parked, but have seen so many pull around him. A: The proper procedure to follow is for the vehicle behind the car that is stopped and go- ing to park is to wait. I said the proper procedure, but,diis vehicle could pass providing that he can pass safely, gives the proper signal, and also, that in overtaking he turns out to the left so far as may be necessary to avoid a collision with the vehicle. The person overtaken is not required to leave more than one-half of the roadway free. GOING TO,PANEU INSPECT OUR COMPLETE DISPLAY! PANELLING a SPECIAL Top.
