Huron county will do paving
on roads in Usborne and Stephen
townships this year, it was re
ported at county council meeting
last week.
Approaches to the new bridge
at Creditor will be hard-topped
and two and one-half miles of
the county road in Usborne will
be resurfaced. T
Other road projects include:
five miles east from the Blue
water Highway, on County Road
13 in Goderich township; two
and one-half miles west from the
Perth county boundary, on County
Road 16 in Grey, township; four
-miles in the neighborhood of
Varna, in Stanley township; ap
proaches to the Auburn bridge in
Colborne township.
“This program is a very large
one, particularly "with new con
struction, but it should be stres
sed that, in the very near future
an extensive maintenance pro
gram should.be carried out, if.
we are to save our existing pav
ed roads,” said Mr. Britnell. Un
less more money becomes avail
able for building new roads, he
said, it is going to be necessary
in the near future to slow down
on the road-building program, in
order to hav£ enough money
for good maintenance.
‘'Huron, county, of all Ontario
counties, has the best county
road system," Mr. Britnell said.
“We’re going to try to keep it
that way.
Farm Prices
Continue Fall
The trend that began in 1952,
of downward prices for farm,
products and a general tighten
ing of the farm economy, has
been continued in Huron during
the past year, G, W. Montgom-
ery reported.
Yields of all crops in Huron
in 1955, he said, were below av
erage. Hog prices slipped, beef
prices held steady, and poultry
prices improved,- with the result
that poultry-keeping, in Mr.
Montgomery’s opinion, was the
most profitable,venture on many
Huron farms during the past
year,. ’ .
A conspicuous result of the
general worsening of the farm
economy, said Mr..Montgomery,
has been an increase of interest,
particularly ' by young farmers,
in farm business management.
granted the $200 increase for the I
judge without recorded vote, af-l
ter Reeve Becker and County
Clerk-Treasurer A. H. Erskine ;■
had reported that the work _ of j
the family court judge is going
to be very much greater because,
of the transfer of cases under the
Unmarried Parents Act from the!
county court to the family court.
“I think in this case,” said
Reeve Willia. ’ Jewitt of Hullett,
“we have a man with more work
to do we should give him more
money,”
While the committee recom
mendation for the judge's in
crease went through Council
without recorded vote, the pro
posal for an increase for jail,
employees was put to a vote,
and defeated, with only five of!
the 31 recorded votes favoring
the increase.
“The way things are going
now for the rural people,” said
Deputy-Reeve Louis Rader of
Hay township, “they haven’t as
much money to spend as they
used to have, I think we should
consider the tax-payers we were
elected to represent.” • - .
The increases proposed by
Reeve Becker’s committee were
$200 each for jail governor and
chief turnkey, who now each get
$2,620; $200 each for three turn
keys? who now each get $2,520;
$100 for the jail matron, who gets
$1,520, Requests for raises for
Two farm management study
groups, with a combined mem
bership of 46, have been organ
ized by his office, he said, and
another 51 farmers attended a
16-night study course in farm
business management.
Arthur Bolton reported to Coun
ty Council that 4-H Club mem
bership in Huron will be greater
this year by about 100, and that
great interest is being shown in
new club .projects in sugarbeet
growing and corn growing.
Hay Officials
Differ On Pay
A salary increase of $200 for
Dudley Holmes, QC, judge of
the juvenile and family court
for Huron, jvas approved by
Huron County Council, Thursday,
but a proposed pay increase for
jail employees was refused, on a
recorded vote of 26 to 6. Both
increases had been recommend
ed by the county executive com
mittee, of which Valentine Beck
er, reeve of Hay township, is

the jail z.aff had also been put
forward at the January session
this year, and refused by Coun
cil.
“I think the rate set in Jan
uary should stand for the year,”
i said Reeve William Jewitt, Hul-
lett township.
“We have the smallest jail
population in Ortario; we’re a
lawabiding county,” observed
Deputy-Reeve Nelson Trewartha,
Clinton. “Our jail costs more
per inmate than any other jail
in Ontario.”
Deputy-Reeve Gordon Ratz,
Stephen township, reported that
at present there are only three
prisoners in the county jail. Mr.
; Erskine recalled that at the time
pf the last grand jury inspection
there were only two in jail, but
that at times the number of
prisoners does rise to 15 or 20.
“No matter how many prison
ers, or how few, the jail staff
still has to be there, ontduty,”
said Reeve Becker,
“I don’t think it’s good business
to go out and raise wages with
things the way they are this
year,” said Reeve Harry Gowdy,
Howick township.

Wendy Spurgeon, an 18-y ear-

next week on one of -the exchange
tours with Canadian juniors. 1
She will stay at the home of
Labelle Coward, R.R. 1 Wood

Miss Spurgeon is farm secre
tary in charge of accounts for
a 2,000-acre commercial farm in
Norfolk. Before accepting this
position she spent a year on her
father's farm driving tractors,
combining, sugar beet pulping
and hoeing and looking after livestock.
She has been a member of the
Aylsham Y.C.S. since 1951 and
was runner-up last year for the
award given to the person who
has done the most for the club.

dirt. If you use a funnel, see that
it’s clean.
Clean Connectors
Another contamination point
for the hydraulic system is at the
quick connectors that take the
fluid to, the remote cylinder.
When you unhook these connec
tors, a few drops of oil will usu
ally' seep out before the"* check
valve-is, seated. This leaver an
ideab.place ’for'dint and^duSKto.
Collect. When you hook tTie quick
connectors up again, unless you
wipe off the accumulated dust
and dirt, you allow a small
amount of dirt to contaminate
the system.
However, if you happen to
drop one end of that quick con
nector in the dirt, you can really
do a job of ruining the system.
The amount of dirt that-is picked
up when you drop -the. connector
is just about enough to cause
serious trouble .with' the pump
and system in' pretty ’short order.
Here again, take time io clean
the ends of those quick connec
tors thoroughly • with a clean
cloth.
For the hydraulic system it
self, you must follow the manu
facturer’s . directions as to the
type of oil* which you should use.
Some manufacturers use a
special'hydraulic oil while others
Will use regular engine oil in
their hydraulic System. Follow
the manufacturer’s directions,
but whatever you do, don’t mix
hydraulic oil and engine oil in
the system. Mixing two different
types of oil in the system not
only can cause damage to the
pump, but can also jveai' out the
seals in the rams for your equip
ment in a matter of hours-
They say that rams designed
for hydraulic fluid have one type
of a seal, and rams designed
for engine oil*have another type
of seal. When you use the wrong
type of fluid in the system, those
seals just aren’t going to last
Very long.
Never Leave Extended
Now for the hydraulic rams
themselves. They should never
be left extended if at all possible,
Whenjyou mount rams on some
types of equipment, it is almost
impossible, to leave them in tile
retracted .position, but where
you can, always be sure that the
ram is retracted, The ram must
be kept clean, since it passes
through the seals every time it
is activated. One rust sjsot on
the ram can destroy arr oil seal
in a hurry.- ,
Another point1 is called to
your attention on some of the
hewer hydraulic systems. Some
of them have adjustable systems
for operations under certain con
ditions, Follow the manufactur
er’s directions closely 4when you
adjust, the system. It is possible
to damage ,the pump and parts
of the system by operating out
of proper adjustment.
Another thing, you can over
load a hydraulic system, if you
are operating an implement that
has supplemental lifting springs,
adjust those springs so that they
will help lift the load.
There is no general rule to fol
low in just how much your sys
tem is capable of lifting, but
don’t attempt to lift loads that
ate. extremely heavy,
The expert sums up his re
commendations on hydraulic
systems by saving that cleanli
ness is probably the important
onp thing with a hydraulic sys
tem. Keep the dirt out and you
will have a lot less trouble.
