Western Ontario: .Some of the wild animals which may carry the germ of rabies are capable of travelling a considerable distance in their search for food. Rabies or hydrophobia is a virus infection which attacks the ner- vous system. It is spread to hu- mans and warm-blooded animals by the introduction into the body of the rabies virus, and this is us- ually by the bite of a rabid am- I mal. On rare occasions it has developed from the contact of the salvia of such an animal with a scratch or other break in the skin of the victim. Because of various factors such as the intervention of clothing, the severity and position of the bite, rabies does not necessarily .develop following an attack by an infected animal — some authorities state that only five to fifteen per cent of persons bitten by rabid dogs, and untreated, actually develop the disease. The incubation period varies with the site and, severity of the wound and may be two to six gg loxisar• 90:co,,tho SY.M* •iQS. yablea 'el)Pear ajunal, death follows in two 40. Vtt.

At this time, snapping and biting tendencies are common, Saliva pours out of the mouth, and the bark is harsher. The final stage is one of paralysis, with the lower jaw and hind limbs first affected. Though the animal may by this time be unable to stand, it can often still bite. Death occurs af- ter a few days' illness. HURON FARM NEWS • To date, 4-H Club organizational meetings have been exceptionally well attended and prospects are again for a definite increase in the number of members in this pro- gram.

Certain variations may occur in the illness, and the paralytic symp- toms may be more prorainent, with little or none of the earlier "fur- ious" behaviour. The Dog Tax and Live 'Stock Protection Act provides for by-laws to be passed by local municipali- ties for the licensing of dogs and the control of any running at large. No doubt, your Council already has such legislation. Dog owners might be reminded by Councils when buying tags that rabies. vac- cination is advisable for their pets. especially if the dogs are allowed to run on a farm or are used for hunting. The new animal vaccine for rabies is safe and may be se- cured at nominal cost from a prac- ticing veterinarian. Not only dogs, but cats, foxes, wolves and other warm-blooded animals may carry rabies. Live- stock may become infected by at- tacks from rabid animals. There are special people in your area who can help when rabies threatens. For example, in the case of illness in pets and live- stock, a veterinarian can advise the owner; in the case of wildlife, a conservation officer of the On- tario Department of Lands and Forests is ready to assist; where stray dogs or cats show strange behaviour, the police should be notified. The final authority, however, with regard to rabies in animals, is the Health of Animals Division Of the Canada Department of Agri- culture. It was this Division that ordered compulsory vaccination for all dogs in Northern Alberta when rabies had seriously increas- ed there several years ago. The vaccinations were performed free Of charge by their officers. Other measures, such as reduction of wildlife carriers — coyotes, foxes, etc., were organized in co-opera- tion with provincial' and municipal authorities, and a splendid job was done. The Health of Animals of- fice for this country is situated in the Post Office building, Seaforth, telephone 372. Notify them of all cases of animal rabies. Should a human be bitten by a rabid; or suspect rabid animal, wash the wound promptly with soap and water and place the patient under the care of a physician. Notify the Medical Officer of Health. DO NOT SHOOT OR DE- STROY THE DOG OR ANIMAL WHICH ATTACKED. The animal, however, should be confined in a safe place under veterinary super- vision for at least 14 days. The premature killing of the animal might prevent accurate diagnosis of rabies. Since rabies vaccina- tion of humans is still a serious procedure and not without com- plications, physicians do not wish to proceed with it unless the dan- ger is real. School boards might instruct pupils to keep dogs at home, and parents should warn children to beware of stray, friendly and vic- ious animals. It IRS a fine Weekend in !Sea., forth and distriet after the WintrY; blast the first of last vveelr. True, the oisfd40 have been geld, htddiiv- ing conditions were Much improv- ed. With Spring officially entering on the scene this week, we feel that Winter will soon be on the wane. Saturday afternoon, on the way home from Male Street, 1 spied my fist robin, Chirping lightly in a tree near the park. We hope it has brought Spring back with it and look for continued fine wea- ther. Tc. $ We were reading the Clinton News -Record the other day and note that the Skating Club had a complete sell-out for their ice carnival, "Winter Wonderland of 1956." Seaforth Skating Club are staging their ice carnival Satur- day, March 31, and it is anticipat- ed there'll be a• sell-out around here to watch the performance. Let us all go to the carnival, "Cir- cus Daze," and make it as success- ful as our neighboring town did for theirs. This will probably be the last winter event of the sea- son at tke arena, so don't fail the Seaforth Skating Club. $ $ There is not a great deal to write about this week. Our Town Council is in the midst of two or three big problems. First, of course, is the sewage; secondly, parking, and, thirdly, the pesky dog problem. In the case of the latter two, which have been troll- blesome for a number of years, I think the councillors had better revise their by-laws in this regard and then enforce the law right from the start. Take parking, for instance. around town almost any day of the week and you will have a time to find a parking spot, simply because merchants them- selves take up too much customer parking space, as well as em- ployee's cars. Then there is this great hazard of double and triple parking while someone makes a mad dash into a store and is held up by a traffic jam there until a number of cars are lining up be- hind parked cars and impatiently waiting for others to move on. Parked trucks are also offenders along Main Street. What is the situation going to be like this coming summer? I'll hazard a guess, that it will remain the sarne, with a possibility of being worse, and so- something should be plan- ned now, to try and elinhinate the congestion that arises along Main Street every day, at least during the summer and fall months. * $ With a deficit of well over $2,000 this year, the Junior hockey situa- tion has just about—or has—come to the crossroads as far as Sea - forth is concerned. Who is at fault for this situation? This is the sec- ond year for a large deficit. I can only put my finger on one or two main factors for the cause of this. deficit. Basically, Junior hockey is more expensive to oper- ate, resulting in player and travel expense being exceptionally high; and, secondly, probably the main cause, the sporting public them- selves. When less than an aver- age of 400 attend all seasort games. then there is something wrong. As far as Junior hockey in Sea - forth is concerned, I believe it has run its course. I have the finan- cial statements of 1956 and 1948. and next week will make a com- parison in order to show reasons why the hockey organization is los- ing money.
