The program concluded with more tunes played by the or- chestra. All the ladies representing Bluevale gathered on stage and sang the ever popular "Happy Birthday". A resident of Huro:nrview, ;Myrtle 1"'airseruice, thanked the performers for a delightful and refreshing afternoon, then gave one off her fine 'readings.

According to the Health of LS organization in afo atttendance at the Free a ti -Rabies Vaccina- tion clinics is, so far, up this year. The last time the free clinics were available was in 1980. This year Gorrie had an at- tendance ttendance figure of 430. In 1 , 225 people showed up for the free clinic. In Wingham, 701 people ar- rived with their animals for shots. In 1980 the attendance figure was somewhat lower at 409. Clifford had a figure of 267 this year, Substantially higher than the74 figure in 1980. Clinton's figure for the free clinic rose slightly with a total of 574 people in atten- dance. In 1980, 489 people at- tended the clinics. . -. Seven hundred and thirty- three people showed up at the Blyth clinic. In 1980, 581 people were in Byth for the clinic. Goderich had an atten- dance figure of 815 as oppos- ed to 720 in 1980. Computers are simple By Stephanie Levesque Operating a computer is as simple as operating a stereo, at least as far as Dr. Nancy Murray of the Windsor Separate School Board is concerned. Dr. Murray spoke on a topic that is sweeping the country particularly in the education field, that is - groan - computers. Acknowledging her own in- itial fear of the latest toy, Dr. Murray told the separate school teachers from Huron and Perth counties during their professional activity day on Sept. 23 at St: Michael's Separate School, Stratford that they will all probably own a computer in four or five years. She compared the com- puter revolution to the in- troduction of the radio into Canadian schools in. 1939. Then it was said the radio would destroy the minds of the students, similar to com- ments being bandied about now in reference to com- puters. ornputers. The Windsor educator also noted that in the 1800's, the printed page was Considered a health hazard to students because of possible eye strain. The computer, said Dr. Murray, "will be one of two things, it will be the greatest challenge or the greatest crisis". She personally chooses the computer as a challenge and suggests that other teachers also do so. She noted how well children have adapted to computers and computer language. She has seen children give up their recess, come to school early and leave late and attend sum- mer ummer camps all in a desire to have more computer time. In an effort to make the teachers present more com- fortable with computers, Dr. Murray gave a slide presen- tation which in part depicted teachers from the Windsor separate school system adapting to the computers. Dr. Murray's presentation was a prelude to two Workshop sessions held dur- ing thedday long PA day. In his introductory Com- ments, omments, director of education William Eckert noted that this PA day is not the first nor will it be the last that the teachers hear about com- puters. 83 tAX TOWN OF GODERICH' THIRD AND FINAL INSTALMENT DUE MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1983 Payable at any local chartered bank or Victoria & Grey trust Company.

About rabies Rabies is a viral. infection that attacks the nervous system of all warm-blooded animals, including man, A record 2,400 cases of rabies in livestock were recorded between April, 1982, and March, 1983 a jump of close to seven per cent from the year before. "Rabies is still around because it's.such a long, dif- ficult ifficult and costly disease, to control," explained David Gregory of Agriculture Canada's Food Production and Inspection Branch. "It is very important that people should know what to do when someone has been bitten by an animal that may berabid." He says the bitten area should be scrubbed thoroughly with strong soap and water. If possible, the suspected animal should be isolated but not hand -led directly and a veterinarian called. "The only way to find out if the disease is present is through a laboratory ex- amination of the animal's brain, which means it has to be destroyed," Dr. Gregory says. Dr. Gregory advises adults tateach t air E- wateb,wlld`ainl e distance and never to *OP or lay with seem- yfrien w ldanimals, a�eotlle should al:if pro tect theiretts bit not'lettii g run iin.areas where rabies i[s"`a threat and, af; lo programs," are rabies add- , grams," he add- ed. Since rabies is much more common in rural areas, fartrmers' should be able to recognize the disease's symptoms. ' The typical reactions of one form, called furious rabies, include excitability, viciousness, drooling, and biting. Paralysis follows and death occurs one to seven days , after the first symp- toms appear. With the other form, dumb rabies, the vicious stage is short-lived, , or entirely absent "Infected cattle usually have a wild, staring expres- sion due ' to excitement, followed by violent actions in which they shake their heads and bite viciously at anything." "There may be an abun- dant flow of saliva and the cattle will not eat. They fre- quently look as if they are choking and there is a temp- tation for the owner to try to relieve the choke by putting a hand into the animal's mouth. After this stage, paralysis sets in and death soon follows," Dr. Gregory said. The symptoms in sheep and horses are similar to those in cattle. .."Pigs react by hiding in their bedding and may, without apparent reason, Other J yaptleare7'me• oliminvitinet 1► 'restless .dam attack and SOME OP THE bite savagely,a11y, %Tie f:,' go into anddie Loma. Being able to recognize - ' rabies in livestock is ` one it MILEAGE 'Oat to do after rabies is suspected is another. "The nearest Agriculture Canada office should be 1, notified as quickly as possi- ble. Or, if you cannot 'get through to our offices call the local ,veterinarian, police, , or agricultural representative," stressed Dr. Gregory. "Until they, arrive, the animals should be confined and should definitely not be handled. If for some reason the animal must be remov- ed, emoved, heavy gloves. should be worn and contact with the animal's saliva avoided," added Dr. Gregory. According to the Clinton Public. Hospital there have been no reports of rabies in the Clinton area. However, the Seaforth area has ex- perienced a major outbreak. Two beef feedlots and one dairy herd are presently under a 40 day quarantine. Seven cattle, five at one loca- tion and one at each of the others have died from the disease. Seven people, six from one family have been receiving pos(Arabies vac- cinations. According to The Huron Expositor, Huron County has seen arrincrease in positive rabies cases of ahnost 50 per cent. From January to August, -1982, there were 45 animals diagnosed as having the disease. The same period for 1983 was 65.
