THE OSHAWA TIMES, ednesday, September 8, 1965 Teen-agers Like Hikes Extra Long By DON ANGUS HALIFAX (CP) --Somé started out bouncing B ne dhe came hom yo lg e on blistered feet. Others ay finish at all. But a 50-mile hike undertaken by 13 teen-agers and two chap- erones this summer has been Pregame @ success and may ve long-term effects. Wilfred Allan,' youth program secretary for the lglg ss YMCA, says the hike was in- spired by the physical fitness| president It started out mostly as a lark but its success led Keith Stickings, a young ago teacher, to begin laying the groundwork for a hiking associ- ation The club hasn't taken its first step yet but has attracted con- siderable support from teen-ag- ers Although there is no regular hiking group in this area, hik- ing is part of summer youth camps and Mr, Allan has led groups of young people on canoe-and - portage excursions through Nova Scotia woodlands. A graduate of George Wil- iams University in Chicago with a bachelor of science de- se in group work, Mr. Allan a native of Yarmouth, N.S., who was "always. a bug on camping ever since I was a iit « From June 30 to July 8 he took a group of 18 young people} on a six-day camping and hik- ing expedition in the Tacker- man Ravine area of New Hampshire's White Mountains. THREE WERE GIRLS He says there is no particular d of individual who is at- cted to hiking or the outdoor life and offers the 50-mile hike fn early August as a case in point. Thirteen teen-agers, including three girls, showed up at the Y for the start of the marathon walk. One boy, he says, 'was the epitome of the lazy teen-ag- ers" and other participants in- cluded a ballet dancer, a "math enius" and a "'couple of phys- eal education nuts." But for the most part the hik- ers were not the kind of people one might expect to be inter- ested in such a project. Anthrax Cure Seen For Buffalo By JANE BECKER HAY CAMP, Alta. (CP) -- Anthrax may be finished as a killer of buffalo if experiments in Wood Buffalo Park this year are successful. Anthrax has been cropping up among the 12,000 buffalo in the park, North America's larg- est herd, since 1962, killing about 300 a year. Until now game officers in the 17,000-square~-mile park, which straddles the Alberta- Northwest Territories border, have been able to do nothing but bury the dead animals and hope the outbreak would sub- side. Anthrax invariably kills. a buffalo within a week by pro- ducing a toxin that infects the bloodstream and eventually the brain. The buffalo dies of as- phyxiation. The same disease may occur in cattle, goats and other furred animals. It can turn up in hu- mans as well although antibiot- ies usually prevent it being fatal. Now department of agricul- ture researchers have launched a@ crash program of vaccinating the buffalo in the park with a cattle anthrax vaccine. Heli- copters are being used to round up as many as possible into special corrals in an effort to complete the program this year. At the same time 120 test ani- mals have been fenced off to graze in a special 160-acre past- ure. These will be used to show the effectiveness of the vaccine. WILL BE INFECTED About 80 of the buffalo in the test group have been vaccinated at intervals in the last year and marked. The others are unvac- cinated. Their reactions to what 'would ordinarily be a fatal dose of infection will show whether the program is working. The results will aiso tell re- searchers how long immunity lasts (it is effective a year in 'cattle), how soon it takes effect and whether it is, in fact, ef- fective at all in buffalo. * "Unfortunately there is no known way of disinfecting the 'Tange from anthrax spores once jt is contaminated," says Dr. R. J. Avery, director of the jRgriculture department's ani- mal diseases research institute 'at Lethbridge, Alta. "So we 'will probably have to keep vac- 'cinating indefinitely. But we 'hope to eliminate anthrax as a buffalo killer." * Before anthrax appeared, tu-| berculosis and brucellosis--the fatter affects the animals' re- 'productive powers -- were the chief threats to the herd. Ward- 'ens sometimes slaughtered 500 animals a year. * Today TB and brucellosis are 'on the wane. And ff anthrax re- "sponds: as well, the long fight to 'preserve the nearly extinct buf- falo may be won. ~ 48 OZ.
