Keller) The Department of Lands and Forests told Huron County Council Friday that an open deer season November 3, 4 and 5 in Huron was a "good idea". The deer population is fairly plentiful now and a deer season would not do any great harm. County approved the sugg- estion providing the adjacent counties also have a similar open season on the same dates. Live fox pups are required presently for experimental purposes. The animals will be given a new anti -rabies serum, released and tests made to discover whether or not the animal is immune to the disease. Foxes are thought . to be most sus cept- ible to rabies. It was noted that not all municipal clerks claim the ears off the 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 wraps. Incidentally, council learn- ed the fox pelt is gaining in value now because fox fur is regaining its popularity in the fashion world. It is heped this improved pelt market will encourage more fox hunters. Council was told the bounty on foxes does not seem to be doing too touch to keep the fox population down. Council has rejected a re- quest by Elmer Hunter, chair- man of the local committee regarding one "General Farm Organization", for financial assistance with regard to the proposed vote in )une. It is hoped that either the chairman of the County Development Committee, Roy Pattison, or someone appoint- ed by Mini will attend sonic meetings of the Huron Soil and Crop Association. 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 South, all former members of Huron County, Council. 0 - Police Report During the week of April 20 to April 26, the Exeter detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police investigated five accidents, in which two persons were injured.
