been reported in wild life and domestic animals while no cases have ben report ed in halton to date cases have been reported in wentworth york durham bruce and in an area north of a line extending from georgian bay to the vicinity of lindsay and peterborough and thence north easterly to the ottawa river near pembroke with an outbreak in neighbor ing county of wentworth and more outbreaks anticipated halton folk would be well advised to be on giiard symplons of rabies foxes may appear quite tame or at other times they may be very bold they have been known to attack dogs tied up in yards or ken nels domestic live stock in fields or even pens often infected foxes are lame and most of them bite themselves some drool saliva at the mouth there are two distinct types of rabies in dogs furious and dumb in the furious type three stages mark the typical course early stage in this stage dogs seem to change in their disposition they are capricious and at other times irritable or depressed they show symptons of anger are easily frightened at slightest cause or may become very affectionate they thow o tendenc to gnaw or swallow indigestible substances they refuse their usual food or they may take such food holdinc it in their mouth for a few moments and then lot it drop out again they will lick and gnaw in a gfeedy manner various objects such as wood coal furniture and cat straw earth ston es blankets etc uncertainty in the gnritsuch as staggerinc or lameness mid a weaknessin the hind quarters is noticed after a short time gen- erally one to three days the second stage appears stage of excitement tills is char acterized by a tendency to run away irritation and an inclination to bite animals objects or man a strange alteration in their bark the duration of this stage which does not always present all of the charac- teristic symptons may last three or four days mals including cats horses cattle sheep and swine may also contract the disease as a result of bites from other rabid animals if n domestic animal shows sus picious signs it should be tethered or placed in a pen and the case should be reported to the county health unit in milton vaccination

to nine in less than 21 hours forums view marketing boards producer or government control marketing boards for handling- farm products are important but the 361 forums discussing this top ic on february 13 were pretty well divided as to whether they thought these boards should be govern ment or producer controlled reeve adkins sells nelson to industry for the second time within a year reeve harold c adkins of nelson township has gone to the united states to try to sell am erican industrialists the idea of establishing branch factories in nelson he has already been in touch with firms

releve will visit new york philadelphia and at lanta ga we have very favorable facil ities to offer the reeve said on the ove of his departure nelson with 12000 people and an area of some- 90 square miles already has seven industries estab lished for their first question the for ums considered whether it was necessary that the boards be gov ernment controlled to efficiently handle price supports and surplus disposal a little over a third of the groups thought like philips- burg in waterloo that it was nec essary to have government mar keting boards for this job then quite a few agreed with glen rae forum in lambton they say that for products produced in all pro vinces it would seem to be a job for a government marketing board however for those produced on a limitedacreage inone province such as peaches white beans and sugar beets a marketing board controlled by producers seems ad equate in fact about a third of the forums favored using the pro ducer boards in addition 20 per cent of the forums agreed with bloomficld in prince edward county that there should be a combination of the two to look after price supports and surplus disposal next they were asked which type of board could best regulate volume of production and market ing over half the forums felt like north trafalgar in halton and bognor in grey that the produc ers marketing board could regul ate volume of production and marketing quite satisfactorily but must have some legislation to carry it out on the other hand about 20 per cent of the groups thought it would be necessary to have a government controlled board do the job then about 10 per cent of the groups say like edgely in york the volume of production cannot be regulated the law of- supply and demand regulates surplus disposal for their final question the forums were asked whether a gov ernment marketing board would be better than a producer board in stabilizing prices whitebread in lambton county represented nearly 40 per cent of the forums when they picked the government boards for this job brookfield in wei land agree pointing out that the farmer is competing on a world market and government action is needed mayfield in peel have the contrary view and speak for nearly a quarter of the forums when they say producer boards can do the job if farmers will stick together finally about 15 per cent of them think like 9th line zorra in oxford that both are needed and that each board should have representatives of the other on it hooked shark st fiotans nfld cp fish ing in a dory for cod john gill is hooked a shark by the tail he cut
