Thompson, DVM) Confirmed cases of rabid animals reached a near record level in Huron County in the 12 -month period ending March 31, 1969. Rabies cases involving both domestic and wild animals totalled 89 for 12 months. This is 63 more than in previous years, and only four fewer than in 1958-59, the record year so far for rabies. During the year, more than 3, 912 dogs and cats were vaccin- ated against rabies at some 28 free clinics conducted by the Health of Animals Branch in Huron County, in co-operation with county Health Unit. The number of cases involving Zurich Residents Welcome Visitors The residents of the village of Zurich extend a welcome to you when you attend the fourth annual Bean Festival, and hope your visit to the community will remain in your memories for years to come. Zurich was first organized in 1856 by a Swiss, named Frederick Knell. Shortly after this a post office was opened and later a store, a grist mill and a saw mill. Mr. Knell became active in the early life of Zurich and served four years as reeve of Hay Township. I -is wife taught the first school in the area. Within ten years of its founding, Zurich acquired a population of 300 people. Today the populat- ion of the village is about 750. After 25 years of existence the community had a daily mail service to and from Hensall, as well as its own telegraph service. It was the largest settlement in Hay Township. In 1956 Zurich celebrated its centennial, and an old boy's reunion was held for four days, to mark the event. Thousands of former residents visited their old home town during this celebration. All this time Zurich was a police village, in the Township of Hay. In1959 the village trustees decided it was time to incorporate Zurich as• a village. and the official incorporation began in January of 1960. The village now has a reeve and four councillors, while previously governed by a three-man police village trustee board, under the jurisdiction of Hay Township. When you visit the village during the Bean Festival, talk to some of the older residents, and ask them about the interest- ing history of the community, where most of the residents are of German or French descent.

Huron County continues to be among the counties with the highest occurrence of rabies. In reporting statistics as above one must always consider the effectiveness of the reporting system. Concerning diseases in wild animals itis very difficult to obtain any abcurate reporting system because of the nature and habitat of such animals, There- fore, one can assume that there are many more rabid animals in a given area than are reported in statistics. It would appear that rabies in Huron County will contu Huron County will continue to pose a potential hazard to dogs and cats. In order to alleviate at least in part, this hazard, it has been decided that the Canada Department of Agriculture, Heal- th of Animals Branch, in co-op- eration with the Huron County Health Unit, will again conduct anti -rabies vaccination clinics for dogs and cats in the county. The clinics will commence on August 25, and be completed by September 18. Please consult your local news- paper for the dates and times of Anti -Rabies Vaccination Clinics in your area.
