Total confirmed cases involving both domestic and wild animals were 33 for the 12 -month period. Undetected cases of rabies in animals in an endemic area usually far exceed the confirmed incidents. During the year 5, 378 dogs and cats were ¢accinated at some 29 free Anti -Rabies Clinics cond- ucted in the county by the Can- ada Department of Agriculture, Health of Animals Branch, and the Huron County Health Unit. This represented an increase of 5.10/o over the previous year. Huron County continues to he among the counties of Ontario with a higher incidence of rabies. The wild life population of skunks and foxes in the area cont- inues to be relatively high. These animals are the main vectors of spread of rabies to our domestic animals and for this reason any unusual actions in these animals should be treated with extreme caution. Contact between these animals and domestic animals, or humans, should be immediat- ely reported to the Health of Animals Branch or the local Public Health Unit, in order that proper evasive action can be init- iated to eliminate further spread of the disease. Rabies is a virus disease which affects the central nervous syst- em of animals and humans. The symptoms produced by the dis- ease vary from incident to incid- ent, but, by and large, all animals behave in a peculiar manner and attempt to attack other animals and thus propagate the disease, as live virus is freq- uently present in the saliva of infected animals. The disease is usually fatal, unless proper evasive action is taken prior to the onset of symptoms of the disease. It would appear that rabies will continue to pose a potential hazard to dogs and cats in Huron County, In order to alleviate, at least in part, this hazard and attempt to eliminate the most likely route of spread to our human population, it has been decided to again this year conduct Anti -Rabies Vaccination Clinics for dogs and cats. These clinics will commence on October 4, 1971 in the northern areas of Hur- on County, and continue south- ward to be completed on Oct - St. Peter's Lutheran Church Rev. A. C. Blackwell, B.A., B.D.

Please consult your local newspaper for dates, times and locations of anti -rabies vac- cination clinics in your area. Rabies infected is mainly centered in the southern areas of Ontario and Quebec. Total elim- ination of the condition is highly unlikely because of the residual constant infection in our wild life. Spread to our human popul- ation is therefore a constant and real threat, and for this reason control in our domestic animal population is one of the major concerns of the Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, Health of Animals Branch. 0 M.O.' ®kpresident lauds treasurer The Provincial Government is learning from the experiences of Regional Development Councils, claimed James C. Hayter of Goderich. Mr. Hayter is Presid- ent of the Midwestern Ontario Regional Development Council. In commenting on a speech made by Provincial Treasurer, Darcy McKeough, to the 73rd Annual Convention of the Ont- ario Municipal Association held in Toronto this week, Mr. Hayt- er said he felt the Minister's statements were of significant importance. The Provincial Treasurer had stated, "that Government, through its Regional Development Program, is committed to the coordination and direction of programs and expenditures on a regional basis through rational planning." The Minister indicated that Regional Development is Prov- incial planning on a regional basis and "is only one of the key programs" in Ontario. Mr. McKeough told OMA delegates that to develop a "planning framework for Reg- ional decisions has proven to be extremely complex." Mr. Hayter said he agreed with the Minister on many points in- cluding the importance of local participation at the regional level in the Regional Develop- ment' Program. Mr. Iiayter, a former Warden of Huron County and a long-time member of the Development Council, said the Midwestern Development Council has been attempting to carry out this role on behalf of the Midwestern reg- ion. 411111 Zurich Mennonite Cyril K.

Chairman Dr. Morgan Smith opened the meeting with re- marks on the history of the Ratepayers' Association. The organization was formed in 1964 when the Village of Bayfield was reincorporated. The main reasons for the forming of the organization were reincorporat- ion and the question of the loss of the village school. The next project was zoning to limit commercialism along Main Street. About thirty people were pres- ent at the meeting. Officers of the organization are: Chair- man, Dr. Morgan Smith; vice- chairman, Warren Cook; Secret- ary, Mrs. Jan Simons; treasurer, Mrs. Don Warner. As of 1969, Bayfield had 170 permanent and 255 summer residences (with an average of three people per home). The taxes from these two groups are almost equal. Four hundred and ninety-six permanent residents are eligible for a $5 -per capita grant. The executive will soon choose six members, probably three summer and three local. The organization has at this time $354. Two hundred dollars of that is available to spend for beach work, if a committee can be assembled. The Town Council's annual report was then delivered by Reeve Oddleifson, who outlined "projects Council has been trying to finalize, and approaches to a few problems." He discussed the following: Taxes are down 14 mills aver- age because of a reduction in school tax. "The financial situation of the Village is excellent. We have no debenture and no debt, which is quite remarkable." Policing is an important aspect of the Village. There is no pol- ice force, but there is a traffic by-law, which is enforced by (continued on page 18) © N YOUR TOTAL OD PREM 12 OZ g Chase & Sanborn 10 Oz Jar Luncheon Meat 49t 1 Instant Coffee $1.79 Chase & Sanborn 1 Lb Bag Roasted Coffee 89t Hershey 3 Lb Tin Instant Chocolate 99 1 Canned Pop White Swan 2 Roll Pack Toilet Tissue 3/99 Howdy Asstd.
