XPOSITOR, AUGUST 17, 1978 14 THE HURON sfz,0 is key'
should not be' allowed 'to
bebome too fat prior to
breeding. 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.

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-

sale.
(i) Breeds and Breeding -
There is a definite difference

es
search indicates a York x`'
Landrace crossbred to be one
of the best commercial'cornb-

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. Sows and gilts

quickly, by default, because a fgw power-hungry policemen
think we need their high-handed methods?.
I am. the father of three daughters two of them now, mar-
ried, Not long ago, one of them was being driven, home to
our house whiclris'a tottntelfhniles 061 in the country.
Police stopped the car she was in and ordered her,escort out
of the. car.; He was Pushed around, made to stand,, With his
hands against the roof of the car and searched like a com-
mon criminal. '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.. Maybe I should go back to sitting and rocking
on my front porch. „ •
But I cannot. I belieVe.that freedom is like Christianity. It
has to be' retorn in every generation. -It is said that Christ
has no.grandchildren and I believe it. I think true believers
have to betorn every generation, that it cannot-be inherit-
ed.
Nor:can freedom. Ittas to be re-kindled regularly. It has •
to come From within, And it is time to stoke those, fire*„ of ••
freedom again. ,
How.Canadians can sit back and say "so what" when our •
individual freedoms are being eroded is beyond my compre-
hension.
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. Are we going to allow them to be usurped so 'easily, so

inated against in this way
when it .comes to financing
health care.
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.

lation this past spring. At '

This Select Committee was crease which • was accepted

the entire matter to a Select
Committee.
The OHIP Select Com-
mittee is chaired by the
Conservative Member , for
York East: Dr, Robert Elgie,
and being it member orthat
committee., I thought that' I
might comment on. the hear-
ings to date.
I. have been pleased with
the development • of our
enquiry as we. have already
had before-9s a -number of
expert witnesses who have
explained both • sides of the
premium question.. 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. This con--
trasts very sharply with
another subscriber 'who may
have his or • her OHIP
premiums paid in full or • lb

Field bindweed is best
controlled when it is in
flower. During this stage, the
plant is• translocating - from
the leaves to the root:
Chemicals, applied, at this
time, are also translocated to
the root. .
• • Corn' is best suited for
bindweed control. However.
bindweed tan' be .controlled
in grain stubble' if the
conditions arc right, If we •
receive adequate moisture in
August. the bindweed plant
may have sufficient regrowth .
to give _some control. The
amount of control , will de-
pend on the amount of bloom
„•at spraying. This bindweed
regrowth could be .sprayed
by lat August plants
arc actively growing. This
would - allow time for trans-
location of the
before the plant . goes
dormant in mid-September.
Fall plyghing could occur .2
to 3 weeks after 'application
of the chemical.•
• The cheinical to use is
either Kihnor or a mixture of
2,4-D plus Dicamba. None of
these herbicides will give 100
ycr ,cent control but will
reduce the stand for next
vear.
