Arena closings concern county council
Arena closings occupied part of
the discussion time at Huron
County Council's April session on
Thursday, April 29., Now that
arenas And curling rinks have
been brought under the
Occupational Safety Branch of the
'Ministry of Labour subject to the
Industrial Safety Act, much
concern about the ;structural
adequacy of -municipal arenas,. to
withstand heavy snow loads and
winds has been expressed.
It is understood that some
arenas in Huron County will be
closed unless they are reinforced
according to recommendations of
a consulting engineer which the
Municipality must -hire at its own
expense. The engineer's report is
to be submitted' to theMinistry of
Labor to be analyzed.
Some 800 municipalities have
been contacted by the 'Ministry
recommending that all arenas
within their municipalities be
carefully examined by a profes-
sional engineer to ensure that'
arenas meet' the requirements of
The National Building Code. The
action was taken of ter several
tragedies involving arenas and
curling rinks which collapsed
since 1959.
Reeve Bill Elston pointed out to
council that stricter requirements
have been written into the
building code since -many arenas
were erected. He said that arenas
in many areas just won't pass
inspection according to the new
building regulations.'
"It is a hot issue," said Reeve
Elston.
The Huron Historic Jail Board
has been given approval to

the Huron Pioneer Museum, has
been named publicity chairman
for the 1978 Inteinational Plowing
Match. He replaces the late
Gordon MCGavin who passed
'away recently.
The committee of management
of Huronview has concurred with
aproposal of Metropolitan
Toronto Social Services'
Department that certain trust
funds of residents in homes for
the aged and similar extended
care facilities be made available
to the homes to apply to care
costs.
The suggestio'n has also been
made that co-payments under
Extended Ca re Health Program
be set at a figure equivalent to
Residential Care rates charged in
any municipal Home of the Aged.
Chester Archibald, adminis-
trator of Huronview, explained
that residents are allotted $43 a
month as "spending money". If
this money' isn't spent, it
accumulates in a trust fund, In
many cases, persons who are
chronically ill for a long Period
and who have no opportunity to'
spend the money. either build the
fund to afigure ,where they lose
part of their old age assistance
pension - or the money falls to the
heirs at the death of the resident.,
Mr. Archibald says it is felt that
such money should be applied to
the care of the resident when it
cannot be spent or utilized by the
person for some private need or
want.

ne loot in the
fury "Aft
Dairy, farming is,- unquestionably, one of the most com-
plicated and least understood sectors of the agricul-
tural economy. „
Even some dairy farmers cannot explain the system to
a layman and I am a layman when it comes to subsidies,
quotas, rollbacks, holdbacks, transfers of market quotas,
natignal dairy policies, CIDA and OMM13,
For once, I can agree wholeheartedly with Beryl Plump-
tre, vice-chairman of the federal anti-inflation board. She
told an agricultural conference recently that she thinks
"the dairy industry is in a mess."
"The Canedian Dairy Marketing Board tavhat's that?
hands down a policy, then changes it, and then changes it
again. A lot of ad hoc solutions are proposed but no analy-
sis of the long-term needs of the industry is carried out."
said Mrs. Plumptre.
As I understand it, policies are set down by the Canadian
Dairy Commission, not the Canadian Dairy Marketing
Board, Beryl.
However, the statement about dairying being in a mess -
rings. true..„.
Most dairymen are shaking their heads as they reel
from the recent punches thrown at them by the Canadian
Dairy Commission and the big-city press. The Toronto
Globe and Mail ;recently headlined an editorial about Mr.
-Whelan milking the consumer by raising the price of pow-
'dered milk'by four cents a pound and butter by five cents
a pound.
The consumers, said the Globe, are subsidizing cheap
milk for countries not in need of foreign aid. They are pay-
ing for Mr. Whelan's mistake in confusing social policy
with economic policy.
The Globe also said that the new four-per-cent increase
is suPPOSed to be .the result . of increased costs to the
producers! "Since the price of feed is falling and feed is
the major element in costs, consumers may well wonder
where the increase in costs arises."
Well, any dairy farmer' can tell that city writer that feed
costs have not fallen much but production' costs have
risen:- All-the writer-of that mftuided-pirce-n-etted-rcidb—
Letters are appreciaV1 by Bob Trotter, Eldale Rd Elmira, Ont. N3 B 2C7 „,
was to check on energy costs and the increases expected
this year to arrive' at the reasons farmers need to get
more for their milk.
He probably lives in a high rise or a Toronto honie and
doesn't know how rural hydro costs — too high to begin with
and much higher than city hydro costs — increased more
than 10 per cent in January of this year. When you add 10
per cent to an already inflated figure, that 10 per cent
means a lot.
Gasoline keeps going higher and higher and farmers can't
run tractors on methane gas. Not yet, anyway. Gasoline
costs are going up again this year, too, and the farpiers of
this province use &aunt °eight per cent of the total amount
of gasoline used in Ontaiio.
City people are well aware of labor costs. These keep in-
creasing at alarming rates and farmers must pay higher
salaries to get qualified help. No where is good manage-
ment more necessary than in the dairy business.
An increasingly important element in production costs
is that of repairs and servicing, An item that cost $10 only
four or five years ago is now pficed at $50 in some cases.
Is the dairy farmer supposed to absorb all these in-
creases without a whimper? Eugene Whelan tried for
weeks to get. a better deal for farmers through the Cabi-
net but he was unsuccessful and dairy farmers are
stuck with it. •
They have been warned nab to increase production. In
fact, they've been told to cut back on production by as much
as .20 per cent. In effect, if they do what they have -been
told, they will be spending more money this year to pro-
duce milk but making much less in the lOng run.
Mrs. Plumptre was right. .
'The d.airy business is, in.,a mess because farmers, given
the incentive a year Ago to. produce more. accepted the
challenge and now find themselves sucking the hind teat,
It's too bad, in a world where two-thirds of the popu-
lation goes to bed hungry every night. that Canadian far-
mers are penaliied for over producing.
