RCbies found in ._
Cnta ri� wildlife
Rabies, particularly prevalent'
in the Counties of Brant,
Durham, Elgin, Huron,
Middlesex, Norfolk and Oxford
-*Rhin the last few months, .is
being transmitted mainly by the
red fox and striped skunk.
The departments of lands
fprests warns hunters to ' -
of any animals belle
abnormally. Rabid animals often
lose their fears and may attack
humans or domestic animals.
If a suspected animal is shot,
or found dead, it should not be
handled unless precautions are
taken to avoid direct contact
with its body, saliva or blood.
A person. who has been bitten
should wash the wound
thoroughly with plenty of soap
and water and see a physician
without delay. The suspected
animal must be saved for
diagnosis " and the incident
reported to lands and forests or
to the health of animals division
of the department of agriculture
and food.
Hunters should have their
dogs vaccinated each year as a
safeguard against contact with
rabid wildlife, which may occur
in the field without the hunter's
knowledge. Unknown exposure
is extremely dangerous as the
dog may become rabid several
weeks later.
Although rabies is common in
foxes and skunks it has never
been found in rabbits or 'n any
plandgame bird or wayofowl
n Ontar`'io. A few cases have
been diagnosed in ground hogs,
muskrats, raccoons, wolves and,
coyotes, but rabies is relatively
uncommon in these species.
Regardless of the reported
incidence of the disease in a .
species however, any animal
behaving abnormally should be
treated with" caution.
.. Rabies, caused by a virus, is
normally transmitted from one
animal to another by biting. In
general, carnivorous animals
such as dogs and cats are usually
involved.
For the past 10 years the
incidence of rabies in Ontario
has increased in the fall and
reached a peak in the winter.
During the fall increase red foxes
are the main wildlife species
contracting the disease.

The advantages of helicopter
transportation in the field are
readily seen. Prior to the advent
of the helicopter section, it was
° necessary for ship's boats to be
very close to shore to transport
even small quantities of supplies
and personnel ashore. Now,
within reasonable flying range of
the shore establishments, the
ship is able to proceed while the
aircraft is carrying out its
mission.
Time and staff are saved. This
is especially true of the
maintenance and inspection of
navigational aids. It allows crews
to increase the supervision of
these aids without an increase in
