He habitually ignores the round warning sign and neglects to slow down. But one day, he explained, a train will be coming and the driver will not be able to stop. He skids onto the track in front of the train, or crashes into the side of the engine and is killed or seriously injured, Pinder said. In almost half of the accidents, drivers violate crossingprotection, Most of this Pinder stated. protection is by audible and visual signals, but lowered gates and watchmen als are disregarded.

This disease killed hundreds of horses in Texas last summer before it was halted by a massive vaccination campaign in Texas and surrounding states, declared Dr. Don W. Thomas, Utah State University Extension veterinarian. He added, Although VEE has not shown up in Utah yet, we will get an outbreak if the disease gets transmitted into the state and we have not provided an immune population of through vaccination. Because the VEE virus can infect any mammalian species, including man, authorities feel that its spread can be controlled. horses VEE symptoms in humans can be severe and the disease is serious, but not deadly as in horses. When it hits a group of horses, generally all be0 come infected and die.

Guest speaker for the evening was Rhett Potter, director from the Mental Health Center in Ogden. He was introduced by Delone Hughes, program chairman for the evening. The Mental Health Center in Ogc.n was appointed to do something about the drug situation in Weber County.

Mr. Porter stated that in December alone, 1700 addicts were contacted by the about double "Open Door, the amount of the previous two months. It is definitely a growing problem to our own community.

The U.S. Department of Ag- riculture is recommending vacvaccination with cine and the Utah State Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Service and USU Veterinary Science Department are encouraging all horse owners to get their horses vaccinated by April, 1972. Dr. Thomas noted that some persons have obtained a negative view toward the vaccination from a released statement that the TC-8- 3 vaccine might cause severe brain damage in their horses. The statement resulted from a study of 10 horses that were vaccinated and later necropsied. The USU Extension veterinarian feels that the statement and the study raise some important questions: Why among the tens of thousands of horses vaednated for VEE in the U.S. have there not been any significant adverse reactions reported other than a small percentage going off feed or showing other minor temporary signs such as are common in animals and people following most any vaccination? Isnt the validity of the study questionable since the numberofhorses was small and the study did not follow the standard research procedure of providing a group of control animals on which to make comparisons? Of the four animals in the study that developed brain lesions, werent three of these cases mild and of a nature that would normally be only temporary? Isnt it likely that the significant brain lesion that developed in the other horse resulted from other causes, since the lesion was not typical of VEE infection and the horse was found to be afflicted with another ailment? Dr. Thomas said, The animal health officials encouraging the vaccination program agree that more research is needed with greater numbers of horses and accepted control procedures. However, because of .the threat of another outbreak of VEE in some parts of the country when the 'mosquito vectors become active in the spring, we urge horse owners to contact their local veterinarians and arrange for their animals to be vaccinated before April.
