Rubin is a researcher with Energy Probe. He has been reported to have said'the recent leak may be insignificant in itself but coupled with past and coming incidents is ruining the lake water. He called it one more bunch of garbage dumped into the lake. It has been reported that the recent leakage admitted 1:5 pounds of heavy water per hour into the lake which amount, stated by station manager, Jim Ryder, is .7 percent of the limit allowed by federal government regulations. regulations. Tritium beyond the accept able level reached the lake from the Generating plant in February of 1979. Rubin has also said that thousands more jobs could be created by energy saving programs rather than by building nuclear generating stations. He said home insulation insulation would create a greater number of jobs. Rubin said he believed labor leaders are becoming aware that the nuclear industry industry is not the answer to employment and cites a recent speech of Cliff Pilkey of the Ontario Federation of Labour in which Pilkey is said to have said that there had not been a free .debate on the issue of nuclear power. "Workers "Workers àre being blackmailed with jobs", said Pilkey. The OFL is expected to clarify its position on nuclear power this fall at its annual convention.

BOWMANVILLE 623-3393 Solution to Rabies being sought If you have a dog, you probably make sure that he receives his rabies vaccination, vaccination, to protect your pet from this contagious disease. Could the same Vaccine be applied to the wild animals, such as foxes and skunks, that transmit transmit rabies? In a major study financed through the Ministry »>f Natural Resources, scientists scientists are hoping to develop an oral vaccine that could be » üséd to protect these vulnerable vulnerable species of wildlife. Rabies is a major problem in Ontario, with an average of 1500 cases per year reported in animals, and about 800 to 1000 people vaccinated each year because of exposure.

Such was not always the case. The present strain of rabies, transmitted by wild animals, was unknown in Ontario until the 1950's, Perhaps due to a high population of northern foxes in that decade, the disease was able to . spread across northern Ontario from its Arctic origins, where it had been known for centuries. If the present three-year research program is successful, successful, wild foxes and skunks would be made immune by eating meatballs containing vaccine. Thousands of the meatballs would be spread through likely habitat by being'dropped from planes or Spread by landowners, a process that is being tested this summer in Huron County to see how well these baits are accepted. ' In 1 the meantime, rabies can usually be avoided by using common sense. If a wild animal is acting unusual or seems to have no fear of you, keep your distance. Be careful careful of young animals apparently apparently abandoned or wildlife or dogs injured on roadsides, since rabies may have caused their carelessness. If you are bitten, make sure you contact your doctor, and keep the animal's carcass for testing if possible. But for the sake of both our pocketbooks and our wildlife, let's hope that effective effective rabies control is close at hand. by Ron Reid, Federation of Ontario Naturalists. 983-5301 HELP WANTED The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education Applications will be received received by the undersigned until Tuesday, July 15,1980 for the position of: SECRETARY Clarke High School Must have general knowledge knowledge of office procedures and business machines.
