Auburn Mayor John R. Linnell, concerned about rabid foxes turning up recently in the city, today warned citizens to keep an eye on their pets. The mayor said he was concerned by the reports that two rabid foxes have been discovered in the Lake Street—Young’s Corner area of Auburn and would encourage the residents of that part of the City to take particular caution with their pets, if they frequent the wooded areas of that section. He would hope that children who live in this area would also be cautioned about the situation and advised not to attempt to get near any animal which appears to be acting strangely and to report any such activity to an adult.

Auburn Middle School eighth-grader Courtney Woolf has been accepted into the Maine delegation for the People to People Student Ambassador Program. She will travel to Central Europe next summer for a three-week program of meeting with other students, government officials and home visits with host families. Woolf will visit many cities on her trip, including Paris, Versailles, Munich, Lucerne, Salzburg, Vienna, Vaduc and Prague. Beginning in January, Woolf will meet once a month with other student ambassadors and leaders to learn more about Central Europe. Woolf is the daughter of Michael and Wynona Woolf of Hotel Road in Auburn. She traveled with the Maine delegation last year to Australia for three-weeks during July. She is planning to raise the $4,000 tuition herself. Fundraising events are currently under way and includes cash raffle for the months of December and March, bake and craft sales, tag days at several stores in Auburn, candy sales, and soliciting business and civic leaders.
