MUST REGISTER FOR IMMUNIZATION BEFORE FEB. 28 A limited quantity of the new poliomyelitis vaccine has been made available to use for immunizing cer- tain groups of children in the Cari- boo this spring, reports Dr. H. M. Lrown, medical health officer. It is anticipated that there will be suificient vaccine made available to British Columbia to immunize 42,000 children. As the highest attack rate from polio has been noted in the five and six year age group and as there are 48,000 children in the province. it has been decided to restrict the availability of immnuization to grade 1 children and pre-school children entering grade 1 in September 1955. This will provide for an 85% accept- ance rate. st year over half a million ¢hil- ed this vaeelne without ill The results of the studies on Cattlemen Join Fight Against Free Freight Reduction Directors of the Cariboo Cattle- men’s Association will lend their weght to the fight being made by the B.C. Federation of Agriculture to have the recent reduction of $5 a ton free freight assistance on feed grain replaced. The decision of the Federal gov- ernment to reduce the free freight assistance by this amount became effective February Ist. According to Chas. Walls, secre- tary-manager of the B.C. federation. the average amount of freight assist- ance paid to all points in British Columbia last year was $10.40 a ton and this reduction of $5 will mean a total added feed bill to be paid by the farmers of this province of at Jeast 14% million dollars during 1955. Immediate effect of the reduction of the freight assistance will be that feed grain will go up $5 a ton ton the purchaser. Mr. Walls states that the interested groups-interviewed Hon. James Sin- elair.in Vancouver and sought his assistance in presenting the case of the British Columbia farmer to the Minister of Agriculture. HUNTERS At the meeting last Tuesday, direc. tors of the Cariboo Cattlemen's As- sociation also took a critical look at the destructive hunter and came up with several recommendations that they feel might help the problem. The Provincial government will be advised of a suggestion that hunting licences have the information printed on the reverse side to the effect that permission must be sought before hunting over private property and (hat hunting trom roads is not allow- d. The Attorney General will also be ked to allow the swearing-in of special deputy game wardens during hunting season as a means of con- trol The directors felt that these men could either be hired by individual ranchers or by groups of ranchers to patrol the range. Health Officer Reports Polio Vaccine Available For Cariboo this large group with regard to the degree of immunity produced are not yet available, but smaller experi- mental studies have shown the de- velopment of immunity and suggest that vaccination is good insurance against possible infection. Owing to the limited supply, this vaccine will not be available to pri- vate physicians as it is\not yet pro- duced in an ordinary commercial basis and a more effective distribu- tion can be made provincewise by health unit personnel at immuniza tion clinics for hoth groups of chil- dien. Parents of grade 1 children and children who are expected to enter grade 1 in September, those who are age 6 by September 30, 1955), must register their consent to have this immunization performed at the Health Unit Office or, in the rural areas at the school. The deadline for this registration is 28th February. No further registrations will be ac- cepted after this date. This immunization procedure con- {s of three injections. The first two injections are given a week apart and the third injection is adminis- tered four weeks later. We expect to start these injections about the third week in April. Less Moose In Some Areas, Survey. Shows To obtain accurate information on the current trends of moose popula- tion throughout the South Cariboo, representatives of the B.C. Game Commission conducted annual aerial surveys during mid-January. In the Williams Lake-Beaver Val- ley-Horsefly region there is no signi- cant change in the moose population over the past year. During 490 miles of random “low level’ fiying in this area, 744 moose were seen, or on the average, one moose was seen each two-thirds of a mile. The survey has indicated that moose numbers have, in general, gone fdown during the past year in the region south of Lac L Hache and east of the Cariboo Highway. The redue- tion, which varies locally, may be as much as one-third. During the 667 miles of flight in this area, 505 moose were tallied giving an average of one moose for every one and one-third miles of flight. Weather permitting, similar sur- veys may be undertaken in other regions. Again Ask Return Of Assizes Here For the second year in a row, law- yers at their annual meeting of the Cariboo Bar Association last week- end at Prince George unanimously Approved a resolution to have the Assizes returned to Williams Lake. In sponsoring the resolution, Lee Skipp pointed out that alterations to the Government building had result- ed in space being made available for a barristers’ room; court clerk and jury room. He also pointed out that ine highway now by-passed the town, emtting down on the noise factor along sOliver Street, which was said to have influenced the move of the Assizes from this centre. MOVING?
