Peter Milee, chairman of the OFU Purchasing Committee, said that this latest move will sate Ontario farmers thousands Of dollars and make the Opted° Farmers' Union contract even more attractive. Walter Miller, President of the OFU said, "The collective bargaining program is just starting to show its real potential with farmers using their economic power," He said, "Many other contracts are pending and as more farmers' participate, better deals will be made." Many farmers already have taken membership as a result of the OFU programs and the outlook is encouraging, he added. Otto Prues, Jr. President, and Director of District 1, who has been an active member of the Purchasing Committee says, "The real strength of the farmer using economic power will be much more obvious when we organize our National Farmers' Union and bargain on a National basis." "This," he said, "we are looking forward to and in the meantime, we're in a stepping stone process, The Farmers' Union collective bargaining program to improve prices and reduce the cost of production holds the only hope of survival for Canadian farmers from coast to coast, With the Farmers' Union, farmers will be in control, without any government influence."

Ontario stocking coho in Lake Ontario During the past couple of weeks 20,000 coho salmon molt, ranging in size from four to eight inches were planted at six sites in the upper reaches of the Humber River between Bolton and Palgrave. Another 20,000 were placed in Bronte Creek north of Burlington and 90,000 more have been stocked in the Credit River. These are the first collo salmon plantings undertaken by the department of lands and forests on an experimental basis. Their success will greatly determine the extent of the future salmon program in Ontario. Over a hundred years ago the Atlantic salmon once thrived in Lake Ontario and the rivers near Toronto. The Humber, Don and Credit teemed with them during spawning runs but for many decades these waters have not supported an extensive sport fishery of any kind. The salmon smolt just planted are a year and a half old. Originally from Michigan, they were hatched and reared to this age at the Chatsworth fish hatchery just south of Owen Sound. When young they have wide, trout -like, vertical, black bars along the sides of the body. These are referred to as parr marks. At this age the fish are called salmon parr and, as these bars begin to disappear, they attain the smolting stage and are ready to head downstream to the lake which they reach in a matter of days. There they become ravenous feeders gobbling up alewife, smelt, chub, perch and any small fish that they may encounter. Some of them, about 4%, mature early and will fight their way up the river to spawn this coming fall. These will weigh about four pounds, Most will mature and spawn in the fall of 1970 at which time they will average 12 pounds. Some may reach 20 pounds. Once they have Spawned they will die. Instead of planting these young salmon in Lake Ontario or at the river mouths they have been purposely introduced up the rivers so that they can become familiar with their homewaters as they head downstream. With this picture locked within their nervous system it is hoped they will successfully return to the same stream. To assess this return of adults in 1970 special weirs will be constructed near the mouth of the Credit River where the largest number has been introduced. One fin has been removed from these young salmon for future identification. New York State has already stocked coho salmon in Lake Ontario and this clipped fin will help in distinguishing Ontario's salmon from theirs. In moving downstream to the lake, and later reversing this trip, the salmon will encounter varying degrees of pollution in the two rivers near Toronto. For over 80% of its length the Humber is relatively unpolluted. ,4 1' 44 44" 444a 444 1444 It is only in and near Toronto where any high level of pollution occurs and the salmon will certainly not linger in it but swim rapidly through. lainhOw trout migrating up the HuMber in the spring are not halted by this pollution, At the present time there is very little sport fishery in the lower sections of the Humber and Credit Rivers and in the west end of Lake Ontario near Toronto. It is hoped that these salmon plantings, if successful, will eventually provide good sport fishing in these waters. Originally the coho salmon came from the west coast and are not completely adapted to spending their entire life cycle in fresh water. Out west they spend their adult life in the ocean, Because of this difference the fertility of these fish decreases, and to prevent the stock from completely dying out by the third generation new hatchery stock will have to be introduced. Therefore, the department of lands and forests fish and wildlife staff contends that to sustain a salmon fishery in Lake Ontario a hatchery salmon p r ogram involving annual plantings will be required. • COMO News-1'100rd, Thurglay, May 1, 1900, Count*- :council hoIcls its. first mayors' day' It W44 Mama' Pay* Huron in the low category Q Raeb Poway PpApcil FlitiSyt department With 18 .tnOnths or .agmething new Thitiateti this more T.* ytilL plot the year by: Warden 4iiines: iayter MOOMPIII ni hese eategor;es MaY9rs, •!rem, Pketer; 83048.24,.

Geoffrey P. Dewar, president of the Rehabilitation Foundation for the Disabled, announced that the name of the organization's campaign has been changed from March of Dimes to "The Ability Fund," "There are several reasons for tieing so," Mr. Dewar explained. 'Tee of them is the fact that a dime,is worth a lot less than it was when the name was invented during the Hungry Thirties. Another is the fact that the public still associates the March of Dimes with polio, in spite of the fact. that the fight against paralytic polio was largely won with the Salk vaccine in 1955. "'The Rehabilitation Foundation for some years now has been concerned with physically disabled adults, no matter what kind of accident or disease has been the cause of their disability." The president explained that The Ability Fund also suggests the function of the foundation, which is to take advantage of the abilities a disabled person has left by helping him to find suitable work. Mr. Dewar said that the new name would be used in CATTLE SHIPPING () COMMENCING MAY HENSALL DISTRICT COOPERATIVE Will Ship Your Cattle to Toronto, For Sale Through United Co-operatives of Ontario FOR SHIPMENT ON MONDAY OF EACH WEEK, Notify the Co-op Office by the Previous Saturday Noon FOR.
