Some of them may have fallen prey to the "squeezer" — the shopper who pinches, pokes and prods the produce. J. W. McInally, Associate Director of the Farm Products Inspection Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture and .Food, says that shopper - damaged , goods . destroy the efforts of the Browner, packer, shipper, wholesaler and retailer to present attractive, high-quality produce. Mr. Mclnally points out that consumers are protected by minimum grade standards laid down by the Ontario Government and enforced by the Farm Products Inspection Branch. Everyone from producer to retailer is aware of these minimum standards and takes' steps to ensure the production and marketing of good produce. Growers make every effort to market properly -matured produce, and many of them have installed cold storage facilities to preserve produce quality. New methods of harvesting, are used to reduce damage. Grading equipment and conveyors used by packers and shippers are designed to keep damage to a `minimum, and consumer packages, like poly bags, are widely used to maintain freshness and quality. Wholesalers and retailers maintain a system of checks on all produce, removing any that is damaged or spoiled. The Farm Products Inspection Branch offers some • shopping tips to the consumer. Buy carefully. Check weights marked on packages. Know what to look for in the different grades of produce and remember that, while a bad potato in a bag may be annoying, it does not necessarily mean that the potatoes are below grade. Select produce without excessive squeezing and handling. Inspect all , pro&lice before buying. If it is below grade, inform the store manager, supplying him with the name' and address of the grower. If necessary, report improper grading to the Farm Products Inspection Branch. enu of the week CHEESE -TOPPED HAM SLICE SCALLOPED POTATOES TOSSED GREEN SALAD LEMON SNOW Fresh local salad vegetables are beginning to arrive in abundance now, reminds the Food Council, Ontario Department of .Agriculture and Food.

Thompson And Sons Limted MENSAL 262452'y i Rabies on the rise BY BHigLEY:J..KELLER` Dr. G. • P. A, Evans, medical officer of health, tpld Huron County Council last Friday that incidence of rabies is on the rise here. He said that rabies was identified positively in seven animals in May of this year. There was only one case identified positively the same month last year. The medical officer urged. that a dog bylaw to control stray animals be considered by council as an initial step toward curbing rabies. Although it has been difficult for the Huron County Board of Health to find qualified dentists and technicians to work in the fields of preventative dentistry and sputum cytology in the county, Dr. Evans is hoping that these programs will get underway later this year, he said. He termed as "unfortunate" a paper released by the tobacco producers defending their product. Dr. Evans stressed that on an average, , persons who smoke two packs of cigarettes per day have a life expectancy of about eight years less than the' non-smoker and the person who smokes less than half a pack each day can expect to die about four years sooner than the non-smoker. NEWS- Of COUNTY COUNCIL K. A. Childs, management, engineer .of the Department of Health, was on hand to? .diacuss proper .disposal of garbage and to review proposed legislation on the matter.

Short library hours Huron County's smaller library branches will be open fewer hours each week because of provincial minimum wage Iaws requiring that all employees except students be paid at least $1.30 an hour. The changes do not affect libraries, in Goderich, Clinton or the other towns. An announcement by the library board at meeting of County Council last week said that Hensall's Library hours are being cut to 12 from 15; Brussels and Zurich branches will go from 10 to 6 hours; Blyth from 10 to 3 and Bayfield from 9 hours to $. Other small branches will remain open three hours each week. Reeve Borden Cook of Blyth was told that the sharp cut in hours at the Blyth library was due to a small book circulation. When members of council asked if municipalities could pay. librarians' salaries and keep the facilities open longer hours, the answer from Carolyn Croke, county librarian, was . "no," .Miss Croke said that either the county boards mast make the decisions or "there Is no county library board," Miss Croke also said the librarians may not keep the buildings open even if they volunteer their services. "The Dept. of Labor could come back on the county library board," she explained. The librarian also reminded council that films are available on loan through all county library branches. She urged that borrowing arrangements be made well in advance to avoid disappointment. MODA Council The Hurpn County .Council last Friday decided somewhat reluctantly to pay the Midwestern Ontario Development Association a 1969 membership fee of $5,445 rather than $5,000 as originally agreed. MODA experienced financial difficulties in recent years and requires the extra funds from .all members to pay off its debts, it was explained. In the report to council it was said that "the Province of Ontario has more or less taken over the operation of MODA for 1969 and has agreed to meet all financial obligations. In the meantime, however, there are outstanding 1968 debts which must . be shared by the participating municipalities." Huron MODA representatives are Warden James Hayter, Roy Pattison, A. D.:$mith, .Mervyn Ctdmgre and Charles Thomas. Property committee County council had an 'opportunity during Friday's cession to view repair work being. done on the court house walls. Isbister Restoration Limited is at work to repair the exterior walls in a number of places where loose mortar is allowing water to seep in. Cost of the project is $24,060.10 with the actual cost to the county only $12,060.10 after the province chips in 49 per cent, It will take about seven weeks to complete the job. The Huron County Board of Education is moved out of the court house, but there is no indication yet how the office space will be utilized. The Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs will purchase all furnishings and equipment in the assessment department building which the province will rent. The fuel oil tender of H. O. Jerry for 14,90,cents per gallon for the next two heating seasons was accepted.
