FISH DERBY No entries were received this week for the Speaker-Haileybur- jan Pickerel Derby, and so no one earned the weekly «prize. Last week the Speaker carried a story regarding the discovery of rabies on a district farm, along with a wealth of misinformation which we hasten to correct. The Federal Department of Agriculture administers the Con- tagious Diseases. of Animals Act, Above are the principles of last week's special Legion meeting which was. called to honour Mr. James Reavell, 76 year old member of Branch 54, with his life membership. He has been a fully paid up member for the past 39 years and has held every po- sition from caretaker to president. Left to right, Sid Daley, President of Branch 54; Zone Commander J.

What to do With Dog Suspected of Rabies which includes tuberculosis, bru- cellosis and rabies, and has sweep- ing powers. to implement control of these diseases. The department has tthe power to quarantine 'single animals, farms and whole districts, and may order the-tieing up of dogs, if it deems this measure is necessary for the prevention of the spread of rabies. It also thas tthe equipment to de- termine if, indeed, rabies is pre- sent, and tthe organization to move quickly when there is any suspi- cion that a human has been ex- posed ito contamination. Because the source of rabies in- fection of domestic animals is found in wildlife, the department works closely with the Department of Lands and Forests. Dr. F. C. Nelson, local veterin- arian, commenting on the re-ap- pearance of rabies in the district said that there was no need for panic over the 'single report. "We will have rabies with us for a long time," he said, "because it is now in the fox population, and for obvious reasons, nothing can be done jto bring it under complete control." "But everyone should know how to act if they are in contact with with the disease," he pointed out, "and to whom they should turn for action." Dr. Nelson said, "If a dog bites a person it should NOT be shot, for it is not possible to itest the animal for rabies if its brains are scattered over a thalf acre of farmland." "The animal should be tied up at once, the family physician ad- vised immediately, and a report phoned to Dr. R. Murtrie, Health of Animals Division, Federal Building, North Bay." "Tf livestock or a dog has been bitten, but no human exposed, the animal should be tied up and Dr. Murtrie advised,' he concluded, "and if an animal, fox or other- wise is found dead or dying on the premises, it should' be buried. No report is necessary, where no dom- estic animal or person has been bitten."
