William A. IL Jenkins, Clinton,
plead guilty to charges under the
Medical Health Act in magistrate's
court here on Tuesday, and was
given until Ottober 1 to complete
cleaning up turkey pens on his

Complaints from .neighbours led
to investigations by the Huron
County Health Unit,, and' Dr, T. R.
Melady visited the premises in
mid-July.• When verbal negotiat-
loki failed , to bring about results
by the end of .August, an official
order was sent on August 27, with
a deadline of ten days given. Fail-

Dr. Melady estimated that some,
at least, of the manure had been
left for more- than a year, and
the piles were heating and decay-
