Careful shoppers mean better values
Not every tomato reaches the
dinner table. 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.

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.

-- Council asked that the
County Development
•Committee give more study to
their proposal that council
BY sHIRLEY J, KELLER
concur with a resolution froth
the United Counties of
Northumberland and Durham
that the provincial government
continue to subsidize, the warble
fly program and make it
mandatory for all municipalities
in Ontario to carry out the
regulations.
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.
