ESCORT FOR SANTA. Rather than trip off the entire air defence system of North
America, Santa asked for an RCAF escort on his long journey down from the Pole this
year. This picture was taken at a DEW Line site as Santo practised formation flying
with three CF -100's which will escort him on the December 24 voyage. (RCAF Photo)
1 ABOUT OUR
Rabbits can cause serious in-
jury to young fruit trees in Ont-
ario, states Robert Wilcox, Exten-
sion Specialist, Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
It is almost impossible to estab-
lish a young orchard if some pre-
cautions are not taken. Usually
rabbits move into the orchard on
a cold winter night when there
is a snow cover. Rabbits will eat
the side of the trunk of a young
tree and nip off new limbs, and
trees can be nearly ruined in one
night.

RCAF Families at Seaforth
(Seaforth News)
The number of RCAF person-
nel based at RCAF Station Clin-
ton who reside in Seaforth and
Egmondville is thirty, according
to a survey made this week by
RCAF Public Relations. The
number of civilians from Seaforth
and Egmondville who are employ-
ed at RCAF Station Clinton, is
thirty-one. This means that the
bread winners of 61 families com-
mute daily to their work at this
station.
There are a number of control
measures: (1) Poison baits; (2)
rabbit repellent; (3) sacking; and
(4) bullets.
A poison bait method consists
of hanging bunches of strychnine -
treated hay on the limbs of the
trees in the orchard (make sure
livestock do not have access to the
orchard). The repellent method in-
volves applying to the trees a solu-
tion consisting of 9 lbs. of powd-
ered rosin dissolved in one gallon
of denatured ethyl alcohol (let the
mixture stand for two or three
days before use). In the sacking
method, sacking is wrapped around
the trunk above the mouse guard,
and also around the lower limbs.
Before using the bullet method,
consult the local game warden.
Detailed information on both
mouse and rabbit control in or-
chards is contained in Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture circular
311, obtainable from the Informa-
tion Branch, Ontario Department
of Agriculture, Parliament Build-
ings, Toronto, or the office of the
county agricultural, representative.
