"Anyone whose horse has missed being vaccinated should contact his local veterinarian immediately to take advantage of the current free vaccination service," said Dr. Patton L, Smith, chief of the Animal Health Bureau at the California Department of Agriculture. Vaccination costs are being paid by the Federal Government, After Nov. 1, the VEE vaccine will be available commercially, and horse owners will have to pay a veterinarian for the vaccine and the inoculation service,
Dr. Smith said. The vaccine will not be available to the general public for vaccinating their own horses, he added. The nationwide campaign to prevent the exposure of horses and people to VEE has apparently been successful, and the outbreak has been confined to its original U, S, location, the southernmost part of Texas, Dr. Smith said, VEE entered Texas from Mexico in July of this year. "A large buffer zone of vaccinated animals has been established along the southern border of the United States, including California, Over 374,000 horses have been vaccinated here and we feel that about 90 per cent of the California horse population is now immune to the disease," Dr, Smith said. Cars and light trucks can use snow tires . SACRAMENTO — California Division of Highways’ policy on use of snow-tread tires is being expanded statewide on a trial basis for the 1971-72 snow season,. according to an announcement today by Sam Helwer, Deputy State Highway Engineer. In the past snow tires have been allowed on selected roads with Routes 50 and 80 over the Sierra included for the first time last winter. Under the expanded policy, passenger cars and light trucks equipped with snow tread tires will be permitted to travel on all state highways this winter. Each snow tired vehicle, however, must carry conventional tire chains for use in case road: conditions change due to storms, When chain controls are in effect three conditions must be met at chain control points before drivers relying solely on snow tires will be allowed to proceed: The snow tires must be in good condition with tread deep enough to provide good traction, They will be inspected at chain control points; The snow tires must be mounted on drive wheels; and Tire chains must be carried. Motorists using snow treads will be required to drive at reduced speeds, In announcing the change Helwer emphasized that storm conditions suddenly could make it necessary to require chains on all vehicles including those with snow tread tires. The determining factor will always be safety, he said. "All persons who drive to snow area and particularly those who frequently spend weekends in snow country. are warned that they might be stranded at high elevations unless they carry chains," said Helwer. The change allowing snowtread tires under certain conditions does not altar current regulations applied to large trucks, Helwer stated. Helwer listed the following categories and the uniform sign.ing procedures to be followed by Division of Highways maintenance personnel in snow areas: Under certain conditions, snow-tread tires may be allowed on passenger cars and ontrucks having an unladen weight of 5,000 pounds or less. In these conditions, motorists will see the standard CHAINS REQUIRED sign followed by a sign statinc SNOW TREAD TIRES PERMITTED ON AUTHORIZED VEHICLES, In more extreme conditions, chains will be required on all vehicles except four wheel drive passenger cars or trucks with an unladen weight of 5,000 pounds or less and equipped with snowtread tires on all four drive wheels. In this case only the standard CHAINS REQUIRED sign will be used, Under the most hazardous conditions, chains will be required on all vehicles with no exceptions, This situation will be signed CHAINS REQUIRED with an additional sign stating NO EXCEPTIONS placed directly underneath, Helwer described a "snowtread tire’ as a tire which has a relatively deep and aggressive tread pattern, compared with conventional passenger tire tread pattern, and has a tread area consisting of lugs, blocks or ribs separated by voids or tread grooves at least 5/16 inch in width and has at least two of the following four characteristics: There are some lug, block or rib edges with an angle greater than 40 degrees and not more than 90 degrees to the circumference measured from the vehicle direction of travel; There are lugs or blocks at the tread edge protruding at least 1/2 inch in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of travel; Of the total length of voids between adjacent lugs, blocks or ribs, at least half exceeds two-tenths of an inch in width, The length of sipes (cuts) is not to be included in total length; or The tread is partially discontinuous (some blocks or lugs separated by voids) instead of being made up entirely of continuous ribs, Separation by sipes (cuts) is not considered as discontinuous, You Are Cordially Invited To Attend An MONDAY thru FRIDAY am, NOVEMBER Ist 5th THE OPEN HOUSE see Our Workshop In Action 9 A.M. to 3 P.M.
