RABIES
There was' only a slight
decline in the incidence of rabies
in animals in 1969 in
comparison with 1968 and, of
course, in 1967 there- .were 'only
19 isolations of the disease • in
this county. 1969 resulted u 89
rabies positive cases in animals
compared with 92 in 1968. A
breakdown of the 1969 work is
as follows:- total investigations —
310; specimens taken — 226;
specin'iens not taken — 84; rabies
positive — 89, (17 on clinical
grounds).

It. is evident that rabies in
animals is still a ,ayery
considerable environmental
problemin uxQn County and it
regrettable that - the Federal
Department of Agric,,ilture,
Health of Animals Branch, 'has
ruled" that in future the
subdistrict veterinarian and his
5ssistant -will not be providing
surveillance .of biting animals
under quarantine. The -
veterinarians, of course, will
come into the picture if .there
are any suspicious signs among
animals under observation but
the general supervision of, such
cases will now haveto be done
by public health inspectors who,
although trained .and skilled in
many areas of environmental
health, are not veterinarians.
These remarks must not be
construed as critical in any way

With regard to the anti -rabies

POLLUTION
There is the biosphere — air,
soil and water. Once it is
damaged irreparably then the
human species `cannot continue
to exist. In the reports fdr'1967
and 1968 "I referred to pollution.
and its immense potential for
danger to life on this planet, and
it would be heartening' if it was
possible to point to substantial
efforts to remedy the problem
or, at least, reverse the process
of biosphere 'b contamination. Yet
wh'a't 1 ' ' Wing' done' nationally
and internationally isin effect
merely toying with a crisis
situation. Most people when
they think, of the atmosphere,
the lakes, rivers r and oceans,
arable land and the Earth's
mineral and } energy resources,
tend to imagine AMC maii's
capital is near -infinite: But it is
not. The biosphere is no more
than a thin skin on the planet.
Man is pouring into it each year
staggering quantities- of .harmful
substances while- his numbers.
'and therefore an increased
'capacity t o pollute, continue to
rise at ,an alarming rate and he
continues the spread of his
asphalt jungle for enlarging cities
and road networks.
It would appear from reading
the literature on the matter that
there is still time t -o clean --tip the
environment though thereis not
much time left and costs
involved _ wiH-.'be astronomical.
Vet the alternative is so fearful
to contemplate that cost must
not be allowed to hea• deterring
factor to immediate 6 and
pan -world action. '
Arfencouraging feature of the
recent past' is an increasing
concern on the part of ordinary
men' and ' women in many
countries about pollution and
government at „ all levels
.eventually must pay attention to
and act upon the demands of
those' governed. Generally
speaking, governments think
more about the next election
than about the next century and
perhaps in this instance top level
action on a massive scale will be
initiated by irresistible pressure
from the electorate.
Science and scientists • have
been ' blamed frequently for
many of mads woes (as well as
praised for many of his
blessings) and in concluding this
-top% a comment by Barry
Commoner, who is an _ ecologist
and also • professor of plant
physiology and chairman of the
department of ' botany at
Washington University, is
appropriate. It is taken from his
book "Science and Survival".
