Gaunt Questions
Mgking Brucellosis'
•Contr 1:, o l • t
. ,, o, .�VQun,ar..
Murray Gaunt, Liberal ` member
for Huron -Bruce, , has questioned
the, advisability ° .of the govern
ment's move ' "at this. time" to
put brucellosis • control 'on a vol-
untary basis in Ontario.
Mr. Gaunt told : the Legislature
he approved of the idea in . prin-
ciple but felt ' it was premature
• "by two ' or . three years" in view.
of the fact that the disease still.
exists, even though one per cent.
or less of the cattle ,population in.
Ontario is still infected:. ,.'
The government proposes to •a-
mend the Brucellosis Control Act
of .'1956 by making vaccination of
female calves voluntary instead
of ;compulsory
"We .have just prov
,completedP• ,
ince=wide testing .of herds and ,in
cidence of the. disease :is •limited
'but it has not been completely
eradicated;" Mr. Gaunt. said.;
"When we have moved so far
to control' it, I. question the wisp
dom: of taking', any chance that it
might. flare . up again."'
"rIn two • or ''three'' years .time, I
besufficiently,
: we could ?'
believe,
advanced . in suppressing .:the dis-
ease to have such . voluntary legis-
lation," he added." • •
Mr. Gaunt also questioned
whether there ' would be a prob-
lem with Ontario breeders export-
ing breeding stock to- the: U.S.
once vaccination against brucel-
losis was put on a voluntary bas-
is.

ratepayers of: the ' Township • • of
West Wawanosh with information
about school proposals and legis-
1 ation; , '
The meeting solved ' nothing se.
far: as thepresent school ques-

meeting with . much the ; sameideas
as they had when they arrived,
.and these ideas varied greatly.

many years so nothing changed
in this. ,reg and : in ' Wawanosh. In.
Ashfield, where a township area
had been in effect several years
ago . and • Was ,-"broken . up" for:,

Ashfield, bordering .the lake, and,
