Twenty dogs and 11 ''ts, all in Ontario and Quebec, were infected. Tw c es of rabid bats were reprr'i r' i- British Columbia. This is the st record of rabies in bats sine(' 1957. An "1-•er of the Health of Ani- ma4 CDA, said there has be a slight increase in the inciden ^ of rab',ss in Ontario dur- ing the pa t month.

In order to keep the 133 -foot braking distance you have on dry roads at 50 m.p.h., you must reduce speed to 28 m.p.h. on hard -packed snow and 16 m.p.h. on ice. ties." - slig. .:,.crease in rabies at this time ,f year is not abnormal, he said. He added ' that with foxes beg.nn. g to den up, a sharp de- cline,ia the disease is anticipated. Rc n r w County in Ontario was the m st heavily infected, with the major ty of cases involving foxes. As a result, the department's sub -district officer in Renfrew Count has re-established the re- porting system by visiting all vet- erina i '. s. muricipal clerks, medi- cal offi^ers of health and other lo- cal au'horities.

"How'd you come out in that fight with your wife?" "She came crawling to me on her hands and knees." "Yeah? What did she say?" "Come out from under that bed, you coward!" 1879 • 18)37 • 1939 1954 • 1961 The original portion of the present Seaforth Col- legiate Institute building was erected in 1879 upon the establishment of a high school here. The two rooms that were provided at that time proved,' with- in a few years, to be in- adequate to accommodate the increasing numbers of students, and in 1887 the Board determined on a policy of expansion. A large addition was de- cided on and The Huron Expositor of March 4th, 1877, says: "Contract Let — The contract for the erection of the new addition to the High School building has been let to Messrs. John Lyon and F. Gutteridge. Mr. Lyons gets the con- tract for the woodwork at $2,477.06, and Mr. Gut- teridge for the excavation of the foundation and the stone and brick work at $2,284.00. The contrac- tors in both cases have to furnish all material. The work could not have fall- en into better hands." An interesting coinci- dence is that Mr. H. Edge, who was general contrac- tor for the 1938 addition, was employed on the job in 1887. In 1934 Mr. Edge presented the plans of the former work to the S.C.I. Alumni Association, who had them framed and hung in the school. In 1954 an extensive ad- dition to provide a gymn- asium a n d auditorium was completed. The space thus released in the main building made possible the provision of three ad- ronal classrooms. Latest addition, con- struction of which began in 1960, came into use in February of this year. It includes five classrooms, new administrative ac- commodation and a cafe- teria. (Drawings are the work of George Daly, ,a graduate of Seaforth- Col- legiate Institute, now of Toronto). Warn Of Danger Of Mud and Salt Cold in January; snow in Febru- ary; mud in March. Ontario's dif- ferent seasons demand different safety precautions, says Hal Wright, safety specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture. March is the month when mud and calcium chloride splash up on lights and windshields. They lim- it the distance in which you can see others and in which other driv- ers can see you. "They're a big factor causing rear -end collisions in March," says Wright. Calcium chloride is much more adhesive than mud.' He suggests stopping as soon as you can and cleaning your windshield if your car's wipers and washers can't can't handle the calcium chloride - mud mixture. Clean the lenses of your headlights and taillights at least as often as you clean your windshield, if you're driving at night. The safety specialist feels the use of only parking lights during dawn and dusk periods is also a factor causing both •rear -and front- end collisions during muddy spells. When they're muddied up the sit- uation is that much worse. "Drive with your headlights on during dawn and dusk," he sug- gests. "Even if muddied up, they're easier to see than parking lights, Besides, it's unlawful to drive during dawn and dusk per- iods with just the parking lights on."
