DEC. 10, 1970 Meeting ProbesHog Backfat • 1 wish to thank all those who supported me at the polls in Monday's election. News of Huronview Compliments of the Season to All. The weekly dance on Monday was celebrated as usual, in the auditorium, with the Huronview Orchestra supplying the music and Jim Barrie calling the dances. It started with a wheelchair waltz, a favourite of those who could not walk, followed by waltzes and two-steps, heel and toe polkas, a Rye waltz, French minuet with wheelchair two steps and others mixed in Hokey Pokey dance with Jan Bylsma calling, which is a favourite of all. Andrew Patrick of Kinburn contrib- uted a couple of tunes on the violin, also Bert Finlay ° of Goderich accompanied by his wife at the piano, played two or three dances. Tea and cookies topped it off. A visitor (of which there are more at every dance) said, "You have the best old time orchestra I have ever heard." The Bluevale Women's Institute were in charge of the December birthday party held in the auditorium on Wednesday, December 2, -1970. The program in- cluded vocal numbers by Mrs. Mather Koyer, Mrs. Chas. Bosnian, Mrs. Glen Sellers, readings by Mrs. Jas. Armstrong, several numbers by Ross Mann with violin and mouth organ. The residents celebrating birthdays in December each received a gift from the Institute. Birthday cake, cookies and tea were served to over 100 residents. The residents were entertained at their family night with a variety program provided by Adam Wilson, violin, Watson Webster, mouth organ accom- panied by Ruby Webster on the piano. Albert Craig played several numbers on his guitar and sang some old songs with the residents joining in. Jim Medd contributed a number of songs including a favorite of everyone "The Auctioneer Song". Winners at last Friday's Bingo included Mrs. Leyburne, Mrs. Nickerson, Mrs. Rutledge, Miss Helen Fischer, Jerry Collins and Joe McGrath. The Extension Branch, Ont- ario Department of Agriculture and Food, Clinton, in co-opera- tion with the Huron County Pork Producers Assoc. are planning a demonstration on how,to mea- sure backfat thickness of re- placement gilts by a simple, low cost, rapid and accurate probing method. Because rate of gain (or weight for age) is important, producers are encouraged to sel- ect breeding stock that will grow rapidly and efficiently and have low backfat thickness. Fortun- ately, both backfat thickness and weight for age are sufficiently hereditary to enable producers to make considerable improvement in both of these important traits through selection. Moreover, the demand for less fat in pork products has caused swine producers to search for pigs that have less backfat and more lean. Under the pre- sent Canadian pork carcass grad- ing system, the price which the producer receives for each car- cass is determined by the "Index" which is based primarily upon backfat thickness and car- cass weight. Two backfat probing demon- strations have been planned for Monday, December 14th at the following locations: 10:00 a.m. - Grant McGregor's farm, 1 1/4 mi. east of Kippen (north west corner farm) 1:30 p.m. - Lucknow Hog As- sembly Yards. It is suggested that anyone attending should wear clothing and footwear not normally worn while chpring on the home farm. Garnet Norrish, Swine Spec- ialist, University of Guelph will be in charge of the demonstration and all who have an interest in learning how to backfat probe gilts, are encouraged to partici- pate.

The Fire Chief urged the public to exercise special care in the set- ting up and decoration of Christ- mas trees, and drew attention to the folloiving points. If plans call for a natural tree, it should be bought fresh and green, and kept outdoors or in an unheated •garage before being brought into the home for decorating. Then, one or two inches should be .cut diagonally from the butt, and the tree should be set up with the butt in water, which should be maintained above the level of the cut. Check strings of electric lights carefully for worn insula- tion, broken plugs or loose- balb sockets. Only CSA - approved lighting sets and only non-flam- mable decorations should be used. Declare the tree a no- smoking area, and keep matches out of the hands of children. Do not allow discarded gift wrappings to accumulate under the tree. Dispose of them as soon as gifts are opened. Even a green tree will burn if ig- nited by burning paper around the base. Set up the tree away from heat sources such as fireplaces, • TV sets or radiators. Do not allow it to block access to doors or windows in the event of fire. Switch off tree lights at bed- time or when leaving the house. Fire Chief Scott pointed out that tests have proved that the safest tree is a tree with its butt set in water. However, if a tree has dried out before it is set up, it cannot reg its safe moisture level. A dry tee can be ignited by a single mat h, to burn violently to a char ed state in a few seconds. Even artificial trees c n be • serious fire hazards. Metallic trees are conductors of electri- city, and should not be decorated with strings of lights, but illu- minated with floodlights. Some ' plastic trees, made from styrene materials, are' flammable, unlike those made from polyvinyl- chloride. All trees should be removed from the home as. soon as pos- sible after the Christmas cele- brations, Chief Scott warned. Fire safety precautions should head the list of every sensible family's preparations for Christmas, according to Sea- forth Area Fire Chief John F Scott, in a seasonal warning that answery our CHRISTMAS SEAL LETTER TODAY!
