Plans for a major expansion
in the facilities at the Centralia
College of Agricultural
Technology have been
announced by Honourable
William A. Stewart, Minister of
Agriculture and Food.
Speaking in the Legislature,
Mrs. Stewart outlined plans for a
new Veterinary Services
Laboratory to be established on
the Centralia site, using the
former Mr Force Base Hospital
building for the purpose. Work
will begin on the conversion of
this building early in 1969, in
order that the new facility will
be providing service to the
livestock and poultry producers
of the area as soon as possible.
"The establishment of these
facilities is in response to a
growing demand for diagnostic
and laboratory facilities to serve
this general area," the Minister
said. "When it is considered that
the eight cOunties of Mee,
Elgin, Huron, Middlesex,
NortOlk, Oxford, Perth, end
Larribton produce one-third of
the province's cattle, pigs, and
poultry, one.half of the turkeys,
and one-fifth of the horses and

recognised that this area is vital

for several weeks.
