Hog Cholera Could Be Problem
For Huron County Farmers
• Hog cholera could become a
serious problem in this part of
Ontario, warns Alf Warner, RR
2, Bayfield, member of the On-
tario Hog Producers. Marketing
Board.
There was an onutbreak of
cholera in Eastern Ontario lalst
week,: and at feast" 1,800 hogs
have been destroyed as a re-
suit,. in an effort to stamp out
the disease. Between $8,0'00
and $9,000 _connpensation has
been paid to the owners of
these hogs.
How did 'Uhe outbreak begin'?
Well, •appeeently a man who
operates a bakeshop in Mont-
real, leas. a hog -raising opera-
tion in Ontario. He :brings un-
sold baked ,goo!ds to the 'farm,
and feeds them to the hogs. He
noticed the herd of pigs getting
sick, in :fact moat of there were
ill, so he. loaded: them up amid
took them to a community sales
bairn.
Y At the community sale's barn
they were sold, apparently with
no one recognizing the Meese,
Then it was detected. The re-
sult :has been the destroying
Of 100' ` pigs in Easeenn On-
tario: •
But, on the .day.that these
hog's were solei, there Were
truckers from Western tertn Ontario
at the community- sale, ,and
they brought ,hogs beak with
them into Western Ontario. One
truck -load was traced to the
Aylmer d'istri'ct. ' Others may be
anywhere.
Mr. Warner suggests that
anyone who has bought hogs .at
a community sale • within the
past two weeks should contact
a veterinary immediately and
have itihe anim.ale checked, if
anything :unusual is' noticed ab-
out them. This disease ran be
disastrous,
All communtif'y sales east of
Frantenac boundary have been
closed to Ulre wile of hags, Even
the Marketing Board'ssales
yards cannot accept hogs there
unless the animals are sold to
inspected packing plaints. The
Board had to obtain a special
permit, even to continue oper-
ating the yards. •

break .develops. .
Bannockburn Bridge Being Replaced .
After 39 years the County of Huron is replacing the Bannockburn Bridge.
Known technically as the bridge crossing County Road 8, at Lot 24, Bayfield
Road Concession, it is about mid -way between Brucefield and Bayfield. The 156 -
foot span will. deal with a stream of water which looks like a tiny creek now,
but at certain times of the year is much wider. It flows into the Bayfield
River. Seen below is a view from, part of the detour road, facing west. That
is the detour road at the right, heading up over Bannockburn Hill. There is
one cement pier of the new bridge completed. A pile ' driver capable of drop-
ping 55 tons is being prepared at the west end Of the bridge. Above is a close-
up picture of the pile driver, being put together for about 50 feet of height,

Milk Marketing
Plan Under
Top Consideration
The Ontario Provisional Milk
Marketing Bawd last week re-
leased details of ' a pI•an., that
will, if approved by prockicers,
bring the marketing of all On-
tario milk under the aut'hor+ity
of one board.
tmetesorr Faiinsworth, Hunts-
: chainnan of the beard,
told ;a gathering of press repre-
sentatives then that there was.
confidence that the plan would
stabilize prices •ancl develop
markets, as well as .reduce sur-
pluses.
Last Thurs'd'ay the plan was
presented 'to the Ontario Fed-
eration of Agriculture members
meeting in Toronto, for them
to study. Mr. Farnsworth em-
phasized that "this is not an
Ontario government pin. This
is a producer plan th' eted by
representatives of our producer
organizations and we are confi-
dent .it will benefit all produc-
ers."
On Friday the United Co-op-
eratives of Coterie announced
support;' of the general princi-
pals of the plan. Ray Loug-
heed, president of the regional
co-operatives wholesaleand
marketing organization, called
on :farmers and farm o'x+ganiza-
tions ex) support orderly mark-
eting of milk.
On Tuesday at a meeting of
200 d'e'legates from each at the
four sections of the milk indus-
try was :held in Toronto. This
inolu'cles milk used for cheese,
cream products, liquid milk and
concentrated milk.
The meeting asked the execu-
tive to express their view on
the plan, :and at that ttinite,
George Lowy, Almonte, direc-
tor of the concentrated milk
board, said ;the plate as it
stencils, will not solve the sur-
plus problems. He said tthls.
would ;be impossible "until we
scrap the quota system. Farris. -
ate at present must go to fab-
ulous! expense to meet their
quotas during poor menthe but
fine they have a wasteful sur-
plus during good seasons'. The
answer is for everyone to pool
their prodttotton."
Supporting Mr. Lowry Were
two ether hdireotors, Charles
IVLclnmis, Iroquois and Willrann
Chapman, elaaiover.

cuss the best way to go about
organizing a credit union in
this area. •
'As --a result. of this, :reports
Mr. Roy, a meerting was Balled

ton in May, 1952, . and the

Mr. Roy recalls that the ap-
proved legal ,and neeesseary doc-
ument reached Clinton on July
12, 1952. The organization was
ofificially incorporated 'and was
in business with a capital orf
$12.50. This 'spr'oted: and grew
r'ap'idly under the sponsorship
of the charter members, elect-
ed
lected officers and: cornmtttees.
During the 'balance of July of
tblitat year, a 'few lama were
granted and a total income orf
47 cents was realized in the
first month of operation.
By the end of December,
1952, the end of the calendar
year, and' which: was termed the
end of the fiscal year (of less
than six months operation) the
meets had grown tto over
$10,000 :and 32 loans had been
made for tatotal suns of $10,380,
with anet profit of $54.50.'
Right then the credit union be-
gan paying 3 percent per an:
num an savings.
Thomas Steep was tthen, as
now, chairman of the loan com-
mittee.
The Million Dollar organiza-
tion built in the past ten years
is owned and controlled by its
members, who operate it for
their own benefit, through a
Board of D'ireetors whom they
elect. All 'officers; and com-
mitteemen give their services
free tar the benefit orf the or-
gannzationn and the community.
The billy p'ai'l employees are
the office staff.
Mr, Roy, who lash month
turned aver the :managerial
reins to Fred Gibson, notes that
the more savings that members
pour intto their Credit Union the
more it is ,able to ,accomplish
for the members and for the
community. He predicts that
"from the experience of other
Credit Unions, we should at-
tain. our second' million in as -
Sets within the next five years."
