Increasing the energy intake of gilts for I or 2 weeks, prior to heat Will sometimes stimulate an in- crease in , ovulation ;rate or the toonbei- r,r owl rsoablo of being tertilized. At breeding, the amount of feeti should be cut back to 4.-S lbs. of a 14 per cent ration. (iv) Time of -insemination - The egg has an effective life span of oiitly 4 - 6 hours and it is important, to have viable sperm present When 'ovulation occurs, In order to ensure, that 'this happens, it .is best to breed, the sow ^twice. 18 - 24 hours apart. (v) Environment - The breeding area should be kept relativ.ely cool„...„and have adequate lighting, . Sows seem to perform best and heat detection is .easier it' in small groups in close' prox- imity to the boar rather than in individual stalls until after thy are bred. (vi) Disease - Various tisease organisms can be associated With poor fertility. It' disease is stis- peeted, you should contact your, local veterinarian. liter size is a key factor'in. dterminin,g the profitability 0 any weaner operation. If comparing a ' litter of 10 piglets and one of 6, the. expenses for both litters are close but there is a large difference in the rev- ° relatively enue generated from :their sale.

(ii) Age nations for litter size apt; and Weight at Breeding Producers should attempt to have„gilts up to about 240 lbs. by 61/2 months of 4.0,1 after that time. There is Afire benefit to allow a well grown gilt 2 or 3 heat cycles before breeding, There will be an increase in litter size up to about the fifth litter followed' by a gradual decrease with, age. (iii) Nutrition - A balanced ration is essential if maximum fertility is to be obtained.

'He was not driving erratically. He was neither drunk nor stoned...Just stopped. searched and yelled at. " It was the mOtitightening thing I have ey.er ex- perienced." said my daurhter, • Why should she and her friend be subjected to brutal and degrading behaviour? . Something is wrong in a country where police have such arbitrary powers. It is time every citizen decid0 to do so- mething about it. Maybe I am 10 years behind times. Maybe I should have been writing thiS when carnpu'ses campi? were exploding because young people were alley at-the es- tablishment..

Our forefathers Must be writhing in their graves.' So what? she said. If the police believed he h d something whith would help them in their investigation, ten they -. the polfce - had every right to get the. information. Now, that scares me. Where did that statement come from? Not from a red-necked monarchist. Not from a right-wing consetiltIVtriaorfrom. a right-wing liberal but from a so- called student radical, I may lose a lot of friends over this because many'tillets of the soil are supposed,,to be conservative in their.thinking. The latest poll appears to indicate that Canadians want to return to capital punishment, which scares hell out of me, I think that is regression. We have been told of. police l'irutalitY.'We have half a dozen investigations in the province into charges of police brutality. The revelations at the federal government level have made a few eyebrows rise. Policemen in this country have been illegally tapping telephones, opening mail and heaven knows how many other illegal activities. „So'what? you say. How many "spies" have been caught? ' How much good has all this illegal activity done? Since Igor Gouzenko, who has been caught spying in Cana- da? And even if spies were active in Canada. what have. we got to reveal to them?. ' Therefore, Why do our police forces have to engage in such illegal activities? Why are we in a police state? . Personal freedoms have been gained over the years in this country by the bloOd,.sweat and tears of a great many pea- pie.

Ai one member of the Committee, i am interested in examining all possible, alter- natives and the alternatives certainly include a sub- stantial reform of , the premium system. • Other alternatives would involve the abolition of the premiums and their replacement with a payroll tax deduction or the abolition of premiums and their replacement by a general tax proYision. It is also possible 'to shift the burden away from the pre- miums to some • kind of shared base that would reflect increases in personal options. This is what the committee Will be entertain,- ing for the next several weeks. In addition to the financing of OHIP the—committee will be examining 'ways and means of controlling the costs of the Health care systeni. I would certainly encourage any local resident who has strong views-about these matters relating to the health care system to communicate. them to me so that they can '.be taken into consideration during the course of the enquiry.

For my' part I feel very strongly that we must find the most fair - and reasonable way to finance our health care sys- tem. It seems .to me that the present premium mechanism,, has sonic, very unfair and. inequitable features about it..,, The most startling inequity is, of course, that which 'involves the OHIP subscriber who must pay the, entire premium directly.
