' J ’HERE has not been an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Great Britain now for over two years. One of the


reasons for this very satisfactory state of affairs—it is 46 years since the country enjoyed a longer period of freedom—has been the careful handling and treatment of waste foods for swill. But success can breed com-


placency and we must not allow freedom from this dread disease to cause us to relax the precautions we take


to avoid it. The danger of the spread of

ently harmless act of kindness could be instrumental in caus­ ing the- animal to become infected with disease which might make necessary the slaughter of thousands of other valuable animals. Any kind of waste food is a potential danger.. Infection has. for example, been transmitted to cattle through feeding cabbage leaves taken from a waste food bin which had also contained raw meat scraps, while a raw bone given to a dog which has dragged it to a field has been known to carry the highly infectious virus of fcot-and-mouth disease to cattle grazing in the same field. Special care is necessary in forests and common land where cattle and sheep are often on free range.

The Town Clerk (Mr. H. L

The injury to amenities would be negligible, for a builder's yard was not nor­ mally associated with great noise or movement. The building at present was not in the best of repairs, but the appellants, being builders would be able to renovate the property and make it a pleasing and respectable feature of the village. So far as access was concerned, the pres­ ent access was entirely adequate, but in addition Mr. Cuzack had obtained permission to use the Ribble Cement Company’s priv­ ate road, which would give much better access from the appell­ ant's point of view.
