insurance payments made it hard for far-
mers to draw labour to the farm. While
the payments may be needed in some areas
of the country to help the unemployed
exist, they are too high in rural areas.
"If the way of life of farming is attractive
enough young people will stay on the
farm", he said.
Mr. McKinley noted that food today
takes up only 16 per cent of the wage dollar
compared to 23 per cent 10 years ago.
Jack Riddell wondered if farmers rewar-
ded their employees with bonuses during
periods when they were getting good prices
for their goods. Several farmers at the
meeting replied that they did.

Winter weather, ice storms,
and high winds are a hazard to
flowering shrubs, trees, and
evergreens. They can easily lose
a year's growth when a
significant number of branches
are split or broken, says R.F,
Gomme, horticultural
specialist, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food. If a limb
or branch is broken, it should
be removed entirely by pruning
or trimming. This is best done
before the sap begins to flow in
the spring.
Small limbs can be trimmed
easily with pruners. Make sure
that the pruning cut is as close
to the main trunk as possible to
avoid infection. Protect the cut
edge with a light coat of tree
paint.
Large limbs require two cuts.
Make one cut about two feet
from the main trunk and
remove that part of the limb.
Then make a second cut as
close as possible to the main
trunk. Cover the open cut with
a layer of tree paint. By
removing large branches this
way, you will avoid stripping
the bark down the trunk when
the branch falls.
Careful pruning may help
you revive some of the
damaged trees and bushes in
your garden.

A new system of allocating provincial
funds to the County of Huron for road'
work has begun.this year and Engineer. Jim
Britnell is happy with the concept.
"This new financing method is identical
to the request made to the Ministry in a
brief submitted by Huron County to the
Minister in March of 1972," said Britnell,
"and should simplify county budgeting for
years to come, but unfortunately not this
year."
Britnell said that in this initial year, the
Money will arrive in two allocations and
only the first one has been made. It covers
maintenance and fixed costs and some
minor construction projects' in the total
amount of $1,143,000 (provincial money
$579,000),
The second allocation plus Ministry of
Transportation and Communication funds
covering special projects such as county
bridges on local roads, development road
entitlement earned in previous years but
not spent and special projects like the
restoration of the Saltford Hill near
Goderich will not be official for a month or
so longer.
"For the first time ever, the M.T.C. will
be allocating funds to counties on a
uniform grant basis rather than the former
subsidies at 50 percent and 80 percent and
supplementary assistance (Development
Roads) at 100 percent," said Britnell.
The budget of $1,987,000 includes
$692,000 for maintenance of roads and
bridges; $20,000 for construction of bridges
and culverts; $120,000 for construction of
bridges on boundary roads and $664,000
for road construction.
A total of $135,000 has been allocated
for the Saltford Wall project. The county
has begun legal action against the
designer-contractor for breach of the
guarantee in the contract agreement. The
wall holding up a steep bank is shifting -
up to two inches a day at one point - and
"the only long term solution to stabilizing
the embankment and saving the two-thirds
of the wall that has not failed is to flatten
the slope to a two and one-half foot
horizontal to one foot vertical slope".
Britnell advised council that although
the county solicitors have advised there is
"an excellent chance of recovering 100 per-

Two St. Marys area men paddled their

the Ca noi'lace ifritSeaforth Sunday. Tec1.1
Podsadecki and Don Touzel of R.R. 1, St.
Marys covered the 18-mile course in two
hours, 46 minutes and 27 seconds.
Canoes, lkyaks, rowboats, rubber dingies
and even a paddle boat were used by the
contestants in the race which started at the
Egmondville Bridge, a mile south of
Seaforth, and ended at Tyndall's Bridge,
about a mile southwest of Clinton. Of the
80 entries, 69 completed the race.
Heather McLeod of R.R. 4, Seaforth, in
the paddle boat completed the race in five
and a half hours, just ahead of Van White
of Clinton and Karlie Laws of Seaforth,
who were the last to finish.
Money from the entry fees and a special
draw, based on the winner's time to finish
the race, will go to the Van Egmond Foun-
dation to help restoration of the historic
old home in Egmondville; the Bunny Bun-
dle Easter Seal campaign and to further
youth work by the Optimist Club in
Seaforth. It is expected the net profit will
amount to about $1,000.
Kenneth Coleman, president of the Op-
timists, said the club hopes to make the
race an annual affair.
Winners (first three in each class) are:
R. E. McKinley (PC-Huron)
Monday asked Agriculture
Minister Eugene Whelan for a
longterm dairy policy and for
'an immediate increase in prices
for producers of industrial
milk,
Mr. Whelan is expected to
announce dairly policy for the
fiscal year beginning April 1 in
a few days. Speaking to the
Waterloo County Federation of
Agriculture in Guelph last
week, he said he hoped to have
good news for producers when
the policy is announced.
Mr. McKinley questioned the
minister in the Commons,
requesting increased federal
subsidy for milk and in butter

Must finance the repairs until the action is
decided "in or out of Supreme Court".
"It is most unlikely that the action will
be settled in 1973," said Britnell, "but
when it is the monies will be credited to the
road account,"
"It should be pointed out that the
remedial work now being carried out by
county forces and rented equipment is in
accordance with the recommendations of a
soils investigation report prepared by one
of the foremost soils consultants in Canada
and paid for by the designer-contractor af-
ter the failure," said Britnell.
Regarding snow removal this past win-
ter, Britnell said he would estimate a 25
percent decrease in the winter control
budget up to the end of 1973. He said the
last snowstorm in mid-March cost the
county over $6,000 for snow removal,
"Nature has a way of evening things up,"
said Britnell who claims this was "an
unusual winter"

groups," Mr. Love said. "The council also
forms an important liaison between the
diverse sports groups and Sport Ontario
and Sport Canada."
"As well as providing secretarial services
to different sports groups, the council in
Waterloo is also an information and
resources centre for both the public and the
members," he said.
An interim committee was elected at the
Clinton meeting to study the feasibility of
setting up a permanent council, finding out
what sports are presently in Huron, attem-
pting to bring more of the county into the
organization, approaching the various town
and township governments and going to
the provincial government to get direction
and funding,
On the interim executive are: Jerry
Petrie and Kaz Budny of Goderich; John
Elliott of Blyth; Clarence Dougherty and

Bayfield Council heard Reeve Oddleif-
son's report from County Council on the
possibility of setting up a uniform road
grant system in the County. The Reeve also
told Council that the County is considering
setting up a plumbing and sewage inspector
after a request from Medical Officer of
Health, Dr, Frank Mills. The County
wishes to meet with the Bayfield council on
those matters.
A letter from the Honourable William
Davis pertaining to the Task Force on
Hydro was received.
A request from the Village Council for a
Beach Management Agreement has been
sent to the Ministry of Natural Resources,
and also a letter regarding Cable TV
Council decided to send out several in-
vitation tenders for course, pit-run gravel
for Cameron and William Streets and a
nuclear power station in Huron along Lake
Huron. Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron-
Bruce said that he understood that Huron
was just one of a number of possible sites
for the plant, but Mr. Bailey said that
negotiators for Ontario Hydro dealing with
the present power corridor planned for
north Huron felt Huron seemed certain to
be chosen.
"Do you think people in agriculture are
really against the power station?" Mr.
McKinley asked.
"Anyone whose dealt with Ontario
Hydro wouldn't be for it" answered Jack
Stafford, Ontario Frecleration of
Agriculture director for North Huron. He
pointed out that the Douglas Point station
in Bruce has created hardships for farmers
boosting prices and offering wages that
made it impossible for farmers to keep
labourers.
In other words, Mr. McKinley said, the
long term benefits are not equal to the har-
dships.
The difficulty of getting and keeping
farm labour was dealt with in a brief
presented by Allan Turnbull of Grand
Bend, vice-president of the Federation of
Agriculture. The brief called for sub-
sidization of labour for farms.
Mr. Gaunt wondered if an extension of
the government's Manpower training
program which allows 75 per cent sub-
sidization of people while being trained
would help. He was told that this •would
be fine while the training went on, but once
the training period was completed, it would
be hard for farmers to be able to 'payi
enough to keep the help.

The manager of the telephone system,

William Rowcliffe of Hensall attended the
meeting to answer questions of council con-
cerning the telephone system's financial
condition and whether it should add an ad-
ditional debt of $125,000 to the existing
debt of $204,000 to the Township of
Tuckersmith,
Councillor Vince Fowlie, who felt the
system should be sold, remained unconvin-
ced. "I don't spe how you will ever get out
of debt."
James Brown of Egmondville was con-
cerned about water surrounding his mobile
home. The township will investigate the
origin of the water.
Passed for payment were general ac-
counts of $5,271.24 and road accounts of
$1,498.71.
