(News-Record Photo) Beans and Hogs Visit To Station Ontario Bean Growers find tlheir product -and the handling of it still in the hands of the government appointed board, and little has been added throughout the past week to the facts already presented. On Sunday the Hon. William Stewart, Ontario’s minister of agriculture, was interviewed on the Roy Jewell Farm over CFPL TV. Mr. Stewart said he lieved that when all the are known, people will under­ stand why the takeover appear­ ed necessary when it was' done." He said there was no, indication of anything dishonest in the books' of the Bean Company, and that the audit which was ordered, was merely to separate the affairs' of the Company from the affairs; of the Board. The minister also stated ■there Was no personal animosity against members of the board. Viewers would find that the Minister of Agriculture “came across well” on TV. Agricul­ turists milght’ be excused for thinking that the “lack of com­ munication” which seems to havh existed prior to the take­ over, continues now. - In controversial topics, it has Shaw TUMBLERS ’In Blue Spray, Yellow 'Mum, Cherry and White Flower, C'5.....Sale 2 for 25c wan’s Five Governors Returned To Hospital Board (Continued from Page One) ties for the hospital. Administrator Tom Steep re­ ported 1,558 admittance (up 89 from’ 1964); 196 births (down 49; 18,424 active and,chronic days; 5,122 x-Tays (up 400) 12,711 units processed in lab (up 3,161); '680 operations an in-patients (up 34); 481 operas lions' on out-patients (down 49); 153 fluoroscopic examinations. There are 113 persons on payroll,' 76 full time and 37 part time persons. Included! are 38 full time nurses and 21 part time nurses. Total salaries cost was $291,753 (up $34,000). Mr., Steep noted there were 1.0 doctors on the staff and three others which use the hos­ pital. President J. Murphy thanked the administrator T. Steep and director of nursing Mrs. W. R. Phinney for their work during "the first year of operating the hospital as a corporation. He stated that in 1966 he would like to see the Medical Associa­ tion by-laws in effect. The doc­ tors will get these approved by; the Ontario Hospital Services Commission. Mr. Murphy noted that the hospital worked at 100 percent capacity at times during 1965, arid at • times there were no beds if an emergency had aris­ en. “We’ll have to' take a look at this," he Said, “and either cut down on admissions, or look at the possibility of an addi­ tion." When Mr. Menzies presented the finance report, he noted that in 1965, a total of $4,719.94 had been received from dona­ tions, from hospital employees, auxiliary, and from individuals* The late Harry William Bal- som, who died in the hospital', left his entire estate to the hos­ pital. Robert B. Campbell, reported installation of aluminum’storms and screens on the original por­ tion of the hospital, and pre­ dicted a new addition in time. President Murphy comment­ ed that though OHSC pays a share on equipment it was Up to the Cli’nton Public Hospital, and the surrounding community to pay for the building and the plant itself, happened in the past that rep­ resentatives of both parties ap­ pear on the same telecast. This has nott occurred in the beans discussion. Therefore it would appear that lack of communi­ cation continues to exist. The question is whether, this lack occurred mainly between the Bean Board and the Ont­ ario’government; between the Bean .Board and the Ontario Farm Products . Marketing Board1, or between the FPMJB and the government. Melanwhliie the Ontario Far­ mers Union feels the govern­ ment was unjustified in the takeover without a hearing; and reported that the O'FU had not bhien advised of the infor­ mation meeting called between the government and the mar­ keting board. Ontario Hog Producers con­ tinue unhappy with the take­ over. Ben. Steers, president of that group, wonders why the Ontario Federation of Agricul­ ture was not consulted prior to the takeover. There continue to be charges and counter-charges laid by both sides, and onlookers as well. All 11 of the Hog Producers Association directors have .been re-elected. They are'Ben Steers, Bradford; Kenneth Thompson, Kemptville; Eldred Aiken, Al- lanfard; Clare Curtin, Lindsay; Fred Crowe, Warsaw; Howard Huctwith, Forest; George Man- nerow, Chesley; Alfred Warner, Bayfield; Lance Dickieson, Ar- iss; Wilfred Bishop, Norwich; Brian Ellsworth, Ridgeway. Mrs. Truscott WO2 and Mrs. Dan Truscott were in the county on Satur­ day, accompanying a "reporter and photographer team from the Toronto Telegram. They ■Visited the Station, had lunch -there, toured the route their son Steven had covered on that fateful day in June, 1959, and 'travelled to Goderich to visit with friends there before re­ turning to Toronto. Steven’s1 parents live at Richmond, a small town near • O'ttawa, and fairly close to Kingston so they can visit hlim there; Dan is a Warrant Officer (the same rank he held while here at Clinton), and works in an office on Victoria Island between Hull and Quebec with Canadian Forces Communica­ tions Systems Command. Continuing active in organ­ izing minor sports, Dan has been co-ordinator of the Silver Stick tournament carried on, in Port Huron, Michigan in Feb­ ruary. Started nine years ago with just three teams in Neiw York State and Ottawa, plus an all star team made up of towns in the Ottawa Valley, the tourney has grown to in­ clude all of the Ottawa Valley and Northern New York, as well as the area near Sarnia, and Port Huron. Clintonians will remember that Dan Truscott was one of the founders of Clinton’s Minor Hockey Day. He chaired the first one on January 31, 1959. This has grown into a full- fledged weekend, and an inter­ national exchange of visits be­ tween our town and the hock­ ey-playing youngsters and their coaches in Dearborn, Michigan. Lions Farmers* Night (Continued from Page One) Agr. Rep. Speaks Doug Miles, a Libns Club member, gave some : about Huron farming, the International Match near Seaforth 1 will be “'the biggest < the county’s 'history”. Huron* is Ontario’s largest, poultry producer; highest in production of red meat; third in swine production; second' in field crop production an'd has the highest acreage of improv­ ed land in the province. To this the agricultural rep- resenitaltive addted, “There is more potential, in Huron than we have developed”. He refer­ red to the 121 people (ages 17 to 55) presently talcing farm management courses in Huron, and predicted that farm tech­ niques will have to change every ten years at present rate of progress. Mr. Miles informed the ga­ thering that farming business ranges from $50,000 to $60,000 statistics and said Plowing this fall, event in up to $200,000 operations in the county. He also spoke of a 140 recently $52,400, approxSj- ■acre farm which changed hands for which broke down to miately $450 per acre for the tillable portion. Int. Plow Match The speaker . who possibly made the biggest impression on the Lions-farmer gathering was Gordon McGavin, co-chair­ man of the Huron County group’ promoting the International- Plowing M&teh near Seaforth tliis fall.. “A terrific amount of plan­ ning will have to lie done in the next six months for the four- day event," warned Mr. Me- Gavin. He said the plowing match has becoirie “The farm family OUting" at which there is some­ thing of interest for every member of the family. A big feature of rebent matches has been the parade; Mr. McGavin predicted over a one mile long parade for this year’s match. “It is not a one man, or a committee Show, but should be an effort for every citizen and organization in the county,” said the co-chairman. “Land values are more than likely to go up when world ag­ riculturalists see our rich coun­ ty this fall,’’ predicts; Mr. Mc­ Gavin. The last International match in Huron was 20 years ago at the former Port Albert airport. The 1966 match will have more of a rural atmosphere, said Mir. McGavin. The three previous matches were on com­ mercial ptopeorties: 1963, on the Conn Smyth, farms- at Caledon; 1964, near Peterboro, and 1965 at the Massey-Harris farm, York County. Lions Business Entertainment at the dinner meeting was: sing-songs led by Antoine Garon and E. Beecher Menzies; violin accompaniment by Ken Flett, and a solo by John S. Parker, “Beautiful Dreamer”; Mrs. Don Symons was pianist. On display was a gold Lion mounted on 'a Solid wooden base, given to the Lions in 1962 by Mitch McAdam, to replace a travelling Lion destroyed in a restaurant fire in Exeter in 1960. Clinton Kinsman John AnStett recently made and mounted a gold plaque oh the base of the Lion free of charge. The plate read's; “Donated to Clinton Lions Club in 1962 by Lion Mitch McAdam", ......--— Holmesville Wins Central Hockey Title The Holmesville Rockets, sp­ onsored by Glen Price of Clear Vu Auto Wreckers, yv“o3X Jke Central Huron Rural Hockey League title' Tuesday when they . defeated Goderich Ohtairio Hos­ pital team 5-1, Holmesville had won the other two games 7«1 and 5-2 in the three game final . series. Financial details concerning the 1966 International Plowing Match, scheduled for Huron County in October, were work­ ed out Monday when represent­ atives of the local committee met in Toronto with the execu­ tive of the- Ontario Plowman's Association. The event ©efts un­ der way Oatober 11 atthe*.site in McKillop,’ north of Seafprth.

Winthrop last week, represent­ atives of the OPP reviewed With the local committee, pro­ gress being made in local ar­ rangements. Mayor of the Tented City, James M. Scott, described site preparations. The international event will be based on a 700- acre site in McKillop, adjacent to Seaforth, with headquarters centred on Scott Farms. Here the Tented City — a group of more than 200 exhibitors—will be located on a 100-acre area. ' Acres To Plow Nearby will be between 250 and 300 acres of sod and stub­ ble ready to test the skill of plowmen from across Canada and Europe. . Mir. Scott said 145 acres had been set aside for parking. Re­ ferring to water and sewer facilities, he Salid these were being 'arranged1 in conjunction with Seaforth Town and PUC. Facilities were being installed under the supervision of the Huron County Health Unit. Hydro engineers are ready to provide necessary capacity to serve the exhibitors and pub­ lic, While Bell telephone people are faced not only with facili­ ties for the public, but ’ also* with providing cables for TV and radio programs that will originate on the grounds; CKNX is planning for point to point communication within the match site, Mr. Scott said. Parking Arrangements Reeve Don McKenzie, of Ash­ field, who heads - the traffic tickets and parking committee', outlined arrangements for han­ dling the thousands of cars ex­ pected each day. Aided by a detachment of OPP and crews of ticket Sellers at each of three entrances, he said there should be no delay moving cars into’ the parking areas; A new ad­ mission policy of $1.00 per per­ son, with no charge for cars, is .expected to speed! up traffic.
