A vote against the proposal followed a pros and1 cons cte- ■ bate Joy two prominent, beef producers, John r. Stewart of Strathroy and Waller Reath of Oshawa. / ' . ‘ . The Ontario Beef Improve ment Association has. been Studying the voluntary check-off for several ’months and now has a draft proposal that will come to a vote at the annual provincial meeting in Toronto, February 16. Anticipated annual revenue from, a . 10-pent check-off on large animals and five cents on calves is $140,Q00. • ' The money would be deduct? ed automatically from any farmer selling animals ' for slaughter, including dairy ani mals intended for beef purposes. However, if the 'producer did not want to contribute to the checkoff fund,, he could get a : 100 pei' cent refund by writing* to the association. , The Huron vote was an ex pression of opinion and does not necessarily mean the check off will not be implemented on a province-wide basis.

He said this would ensure that ‘some producers who ask for refunds would not- receive benefits paid for by those Who left in their contributions. “Either all should pay or none,” said Mr, Drummond. , Hils motion, for *a compulsory plan was defeated. Later, "the meeting also turned down the voluntary plan- The Ontario Beef Improve ment Association now receives, a $10,000 grant from the pro vincial government.

Mr. Beath emphasized that the provincial >- body was not talking about a marketing plan and said there" is no need for one. • Beef producers have put up a nearly ' solid front in recent years against a compulsory - marketing board for their cattle.' Mr. Stewart,‘president of the Middlesex Beef Improvement Association, wondeied what the association was going to do with the money. that is not being done now. • “So far I can see, only one . thing —7'send a hell of a lot of USE AND MISUSE OF DRUGS money fo Calgary (headquarters for the CCA to finance an or ganisation that will be dbrnin- ated by our competitors.

BY DOROTHY BARKER f • >1Illi $$$* C - Farmers who are concerned about the future of their fairtm and the best method of prepar ing, plans to ensure its con tinued prosperity, will be inter ested in a recent publication of the Ontario. Department of Ag riculture and' Food, “Planning Father and Son Agreements” (publication 56). The publication outlines dif ferent ways of handling such agreements, each having its ad vantages and disadvantages. Written by T. H. France, Wes tern ' Ontario' Agricultural School, Ridgetown, the publica tion outlines in simple form the various steps to be taken if it should be determined to sell thte farm, form, a partnership or- in corporate. Subject matter of the publi cation was dealt with during the TV short course for farmers on the CBC network on January 10, 11,. and 12 at 10:30 a.m. Farmers interested in receiv ing a copy of the publication may obtain one from the Huron Countyoffice of the Depart ment in Clinton.. I was reminded of my vi0t to. tile pldest settled part &£ Canada' when I heard a broad caster call Joey Smallwood “the only living Father of Confeder ation”. This bow-tied, bespect acled,. energetic, unpredictable premier of Canada’s newest province,'/' Newfoundland, has little use for the past; he keeps his vision trained on the future. Ever 'since New Year's Eve, when fires were lit and bells rang to announce the inaugura tion of Canada’s Centennial, memories have stirred and my files have been subjected to a constant perusal- This is the year of ribbon-cutting cere monies, bellowing choruses, lengthy parades, Expo 67 and, of course, words, 'Words, words' in print about Canada and Can adians who have made the na tional scene a colorful one dur ing the past century. I’ve written a few thousand words myself and in so doing, I’ve learned a lot, seen a lot, and met a’ lot of very interest ing citizens. It, therefore seems a natural commencement for my own Centennial reminiscences to start with a few thoughts about Newfoundland. There is little besides Signal Hill, the Cabot Tower and a row of ancient houses to remind either native or tourist of the- history that is the heritage.(|pf this craggy island’s capital dty. ■ My first impression of St. .John’s, as I peered through a 'gray chiffon fog .that gave the street lights the appearance of wearing some kind of heavenly halo, was its newness-.

"We intend to offer early ad mission-to candidates Wiith good academic records by using .criteria other than grade 13. de partmental examinations,” said C. T. Boyes, University of Wat erloo registrar, in announcing the new program. "Acceptance given’ to students' xrill.be firih offers and will not be condi tional oh grade 13 results.” Studtents who apply before March 1 will be considered for early admission. Those who ap ply after March, or do not qualify for early admission, Will be considered on the basis of grade 13 results. Admission standlards at the university will not be affected by the new program. Applicants who qualify far early admission will be notified by June rather than August as in the past. This Will permit the university and the studtents to3plan more effectively for the rail1 registration. The program will entail mote Work at an earlier date by both the university'and second* ary schools but will ease the annual August-September rush following the. publishing of grade 13 resuite. Mr, Boyes said that although the grade 13 final exams1 trill not be a criterion for early ad mission, students who receive acceptance under the plan must complete their grade 13 course of study and Write the final exams. Early admissions will’be based primarily on the applicant’s grade 12 average and confiden tial ratings by his principal and teachers.; . . , * In addition, the results of the new aptitude, and achievement tests which ‘ are being prepared by the, -Ontario Institute for Studies in Education will be Used as an aid ’in dietermlining the acceptability, of a student.

Enroute to the capital I tra velled aboard the “Bullet”,, the island's famous narrow guage railway that has vied wiith the province’s colorful premier for many inches of publicity. Across the1 island we wound and puffed bur way from Bort aux Basques to St. John’s. I had hoped a gusty wind wpuld require the train to be tied to the traqks, or that,, a herd1 of moose would hold Us Up for hours While they graz ed on their favorite fodder that is.said to grow between the ties of this railway. These are 'some of the legends, in which there is a modicum of truth, of which. I had been aware when I embark ed on the CN ferry at North Sydney bound for the island province. None of them-came true of course, but during the uneventful journey I had time to brush up on a bit of New foundland’s history. z Once Conquered David A. Webber, curator of’ the Newfoundland Naval and Military Museum in Confedera tion building, in has phamphlet “The Recapture of St. John's” details the attack of the French on June 24, 1762 and the sur render of the small British'gar rison. I have always wondered where so many of the island’s natives acquired their broad Irish accents and, in many cases, their French .names. Mr. Webber accounted' for this in one paragraph: “The inhabit ants of St. John’s were given transportation under cartel to England, except those who took an oath of allegiance to France, most of whom.' were Irish ser vants of the English settlers.” The return battle of Signal Hill in the fall of 1762 was a goiy one but successful for the British. -The battle for' St. John’s which followed; was the last action between the British and French in North America during the Seven Yearg War. The Treaty of Paris Was signed in February 1763. > Some two hundred years later Joey Smallwood,' who en gineered Confederation of' his province with, the rest of pan ada, dickered with the Province of Quebec for co-operation in the multi-million dollar con struction of a hydiro develop ment at Churchill Falls.
