Sleepy Hollow, is being tested for
the infection.
In addition to the loss of the.
poultry and "Gideon" the pet
Egyptian goose who was featured
in an illustrated story in The Ad-
vance -Times recently, Lynn may
have to destroy his pet dog
"Wolf", who did not live up to his
name. Being, of a friendly nature,
he fraternized with the crazy fox
and romped with him when he
came into the yard near the barn.
He is now in isolation, awaiting
word from the Ministry of
Natural Resources officers on.his
fate.
If the fox turns out'to have been
rabid, only six months of strict
quarantine could save the dog's
life. Little hope is held by Lynn
Hunter that the fox was not rabid.
There was a pungent odor from
the fox said to be symptomatic of
the rabies infection and it was
much in evidence as he was being'
chased about the yard during
several forays last Sunday and
Monday.
Played With Dog
Presence of the fox first came
to Lynn's attention Sunday morn-
ing when the red fox was "play-
ing" with the dog in the yard and
scampering about absolutely
without fear, having quite a jolly
time. Lynn immediately ran for
his 12 guage shotgun and got into
position to shoot it from a matter
of only a few feet away, only to
discover to his dismay that some-
how a 16 gauge shell was in the
chamber and would not fire.
Next day the fox came back in
broad daylight and killed five
chickens. Gideon the' Egyptian
goose went missing then and is
believed dead. The fox attempted
to attack three rabbits which
were penned in a cage in the
barnyard but did not kill any. It
was then that Rod Furness
wounded the fox with his shotgun
and later with Lynn dispatched it
near a culvert in a nearby field.
Avoided Wardens
Game overseers from the
Ministry of Natural Resources
had been called to the scene ear-
lier, but 'the fox refused to play
while the cruiser was in the lane.
It was when 'the officials left the
fox came back to meet his fade.
The fox's head was removed
and sent for- analysis which may
take a week or so. Meanwhile the
dog is chained up , in ,giaragtine
and the Sleepy Hollow flock is
short five chickens, a duck and a
pet goose.
There are known to be several
other fox s in the immediate area
and one Sighted was apparently
in poor condition and was thought
to be dying, possibly from rabies,
It -is thought the foxes may be
members of a spring litter, and if
infected with rabies, may carry
out . more raids.

environment ignored
as an election issue
Only one candidate in four has.
responded to an Ontario wide
canvass of opinion on key Cana-
dian environmental issues.
The Federation of Ontario
Naturalists stated that such a
rate of return reveals an as-
tonishing lack of Candidate in-
terest in the environment as a
fundamental election issue. The
rate of return by party was
noticably different with„ the Lib-
erals returning six per cent of the
questionnaires sent, whereas the
Conservatives and the NDP re-
turned27 per cent and 44 per cell
respectively.
John Livingston, president of
the FON; observed that "in spite
of the disappointing return, the
FON canvass has been successful
in identifying the views of con-
cerned candidates on key en-
vironmental issues."

ROAD TO ADVENTURE
by RAY GOLABIEWSKI
Race To The Bottom Of The World (Part 3)
DECEMBER 14,1912.•.RONALD AMUNDSEN REACHES THE SOUTH ROLE.
Scott's route to the top of the plateau
lay across the Beardmore glacier. A
recent blizzard covered the glacier with
deep snow and the men sank to their
knees as they dragged and pushed the
heavy sleds. On December 14, while
Scott was stillless than half way up
the glacier, Amundsen reached the
South Pole --the first man at the bottom
of the world. The Norwegians stayed
four days taking observations and
erecting markers. A sled runner with
a black flag attached to mark the Pole
was stuck into the snow. Two miles
away, they erected a small tent with
a Norwegian flag. They started back
to the Bay of Whales on December
18, 1911.
On January 4, 1912, Scott and his
party finally reached the top of the
olar Plateau; the South Pok was
1`50 miles away. Here Scott selected
the team that would go to the Pole:
Dr. Wilson, Lt. Bowers, Capt. Oates,
Petty Officer Evans, and himself. The
Bye men trudged toward the Pole
dragging a single sled. The rest
turned back for McMurdo Sound,
750 miles away. The hopes of the.
five men rose as they approached the
Pole and saw no sign of the Norweg-
ians. Then on January 16, about
eighteen miles from the- Pole they
sighted a snow cairn. The Norweg-
ians had beaten them to the South
Pole, -
Dejected Scott and his men strug-
gled on to the Pole. One-half mile
from the Norwegian marker, where
their calculations indicated the exact
geographical pole to be, they planted
the English flag. A howling gale was
blowing and the temperature was 40
degrees below zero. Aker a short
rest they headed north for McMurdo
Sound nine hundred miles away --two
months of steady dragging.
On January 25,Amundsen reached
'
his base camp at the Bay of Whales,
The Journey to the Pole and back took
ninety-nine days and covered 1728
miles. Five days later he wired to
the world, "The South Pole Is
Reached."
