Page 8 - ( HORSEBITS With Lola Wood ~~, THRUSH Thrush is a foot ailment which can be caused by unhygenic condi- tions such as dirty stalls, unclean- ed feet and filthy surroundings. These combined with improper foot trimming can lead to a bacterial invasion of the tissues around the frog and cause the condition known as thrush. It is - characterized by a foul-smelling black discharge on either side of the frog: The frog may be under- mined and the grooves on either side of it may be deeper than nor- mal thus causing a tenderness in the area and a resentment by the horse to having the foot cleaned. The condition may be treated by placing the horse in cleaner sur- roundings, cleaning the foot daily and trimming the feet at least once a month to stimulate the growth of the frog. Applications of for- malin or Kopertox will dry up the affected area and control the bacterial infection. Advanced cases may need packing with Ep- som salts to draw out the infected material and control the infection. If the inner structures of the foot are not involved, thrush is usually easy enough to control and will not lead to permanent lameness. Remember however, that the appearance of thrush is a sure indication that the horse was not being kept in adequate condi- tions which he is worthy of. Gilles Gratton, D.V.M.

A song written for the occasion by Father Huneault was sung by the choir and then rendered solo by Father Huneault himself. In rough translation the refrain was as follows: An interesting ceremony took place recently in the parish church in Embrun when the auxiliary archbishop, Monsignor Gilles Belisle declared officially open the festivities in connection with the parish's 125th anniversary. He was assisted at mass by Rev. Jules Richard. The parish priest, Father Robert Huneault, directed the choir. The coat of arms of the parish was unveiled by Jean Pierre Proulx and Embrun's official flag was unfurled. '*By the banks of the Castor, let us with ardour sing Of the courageous and diligent founders who preceeded us Let us sing our joy in the passing time, One hundred and twenty-five years is something to sing about." Inauguration du 125e --par Aline Brunet Le dimanche onze janvier une grande foule de parois- siens assistait 4 la messe de 10.30 pour inaugurer of- ficiellement l'année du 125e anniversaire de fondation de la paroisse Saint Jacques. Monseigneur Gilles Bélisle, évéque auxiliaire du diocése d'Ottawa a célébré la messe assisté de l'abbé Jules Richard. Le curé de la paroisse, l'abbé Robert Huneault, dirigeait la chorale. Madame Lucille Beau- bien touchait l'orgue. Au nom de Monseigneur I'archevéque, Mgr Bélisle a déclaré officiellement ouvertes les Fétes de 125e anniver- saire. Il a invité les paroissiens a se souvenir de leurs vaillants ancétres, a s'unir dans la joie et la fraternité pour vivre ensemble une année bien spéciale et pour faire face a1'avenir dans un esprit de foi et de solidarité. Aprés la cérémonie réligieuse, l'abbé Huneault a in- vité M. Jean Pierre Proulx a procéder, au nom du Com- ité du 12Se, au dévoilement des armoiries et du drapeau d'Embrun. Mr. Proulx a expliqué le sens des armoiries et du drapeau en invitant toutes les personnes présentes a se rendre a l'avant de l'église pour examiner de plus prés ces deux pieces représentatives de leurs origines francaises et agricoles. **Sur les bords du Castor chantons avec ardeur Le courage et l'effort de tous ces gens de coeur. Proclamons notre joie encet anniversaire Plus de cent vingt-cinqu ans, ce n'est pas ordinaire." La fierté et l'enthousiasme avaient alors gagné tous les coeurs et tous se sont levés pour applaudir chaude- ment leur curé pendant que Mgr. Bélisle félicitait celui- ci. Pendant le vin d'honneur qui a suivi, les paroissiens ont circulé dans |'église pour venir admirer leurs ar- moiries, féliciter leur curé, saluer Mgr. Bélisle et souhaiter la bonne année a ceux qu'ils n'avaient pas en- core eu l'occasion de rencontrer depuis le début de 1981. La chorale paroissiale a ensuite chanté avec ardeur la chanson théme du 125e anniversaire. L'abbe Huneault, auteur des paroles et de la musique de cette chanson a interpreté les couplets en solo et il a invité ses paroissiens a'se joindre a la chorale pour chanter le refrain: Gerry Leroux Box 39 EXCAVATING Excavators -- Backhoes Dozers -- Loaders -- Ditching Res.: (613) 445-5603 Bus.: (613) 236-6822 RUSSELL KOA 3B0 COME TO CHATEAU 417 and enjoy our JANUARY SPECIALS ON THE MENU: --Hot delicatessen platter of homemade meat paté pee -- Homemade Cornish pie with all the trimmings "a treat to eat" --German-Canadian Sausages- Frankfurter, Debreziner Bockwurst Bratwurst or Knockwurst - ENTERTAINMENT FRI.
