On Beef 'Beefs'
J. CARL HEMINGWAY
Huron County Medical Services
reports very satisfactory growth
over the years., This co-op was
organized in " 1947, offering hos-
pitalization services with. xxax
and'.operating room benefits.'This
proved so successful that they
were able to enter the surgical
field in 1954 and are now cover-
ing surgical expenses, paying the
minimum fees as set up by the
medical association.
The membership is very grati-
fying when we consider..the fact
that Huron is definitely a rural
county with no cities. The mem-
bership of 900, representing some
2,000 individuals in 1947, ' has
grown to a membership of 4,00.0
with some 11,000 individuals pro-
tected. This seems to me to be
a very healthy and practical rate
of expansion for a group of this
kind.
Huron County Medical Services
has never made a policy of gla-
morous advertising but they are
proud that they have always been
able to pay any claims and.have
always been able to report a
sound financial condition a the
end of each year.
While Huron county, medical
and surgical services is one of
the very few offering surgical
benefits, iti is still expanding hav-
ing added several groups since
the first of the year, in spite of
the fact that all political parties
are promising a national health
scheme. All this shows very clear-
ly that individuals co-operating
can accomplish anything they set
their minds to.
., ,.. ,.*
The Ontario Beef Producers'
annual meeting, whichI am ex-
pected to attend, will be held in
Toronto, May 27,
I am personally interested in
the beef cattle industry and there
are some things that I would like
to see done. However, as field -
man for Huron I would like to be
able to express the opinion of all
the beef producers in the county.
I expect the question of grad-
ing beef and the price spreads on
these grades will be discussed.
Compulsory government grading
of cattle sold on the rail will like-
ly be asked for.
• Ate you satisfied with the pres-
ent methods of marketing cattle
or are there some improvements
that the Beef Producers' Associa-
tion should work for? I would ap-
preciate your suggestions,

Down To
Earth
By D. I. HOOPER
Farmers And Health
Well, I've been reading again
and this time it is an article writ-,
ten by a doctor who has been
treating farmers for 25 years at
a famous clinic and what he has
to say is interesting and it won't
do any harm to pass along some
of his findings. Just a short
resume aof the nine worst things
you can do to your health.
1: Farmers don't go to their'.
doctors soon enough. That's their
worst mistake. Many a farmer
keeps putting off attending to
something that he should have
looked •after :a year or more be-
fore. Many farm people only con-
sult a physician after months of
unusual occurrences, loss of
weight, etc., often so late that no
surgeon can help.
Farmers are hypochondriacs or
complainers, and maybe that's
too bad. They'd live longer if
they were more careful about
seeing a doctor wheneven they
have a worry. over their health.
2. Farmers hurt themselves
showing off their strength. But
it'i a dangerous pastime -about
as bad as bull -fighting. Showing
off can pull a tendon, bring on a
rupture, or hurt the back per-
manently.
3. Farm people eat too much.
It's true that people who do hard
physical labour burn up calories
twice as fast as the office worker.
But that doesn't mean that farm-
ers and farm women can eat
enough to stay round and fat.
When they do, they can expect
all the diseases associated with
being overweight -like hardening
of the arteries, heart attacks and
the like.
I know that it's easy to over -eat
especially when there's so much
food around - rich and well -
cooked. It's up to the woman of
the house to see that her family
stays in fighting trim. If she's
clever, she can make fruit salads
so tasty that she can serve fewer
desserts.
4. Farmers don't take care of
scratches. Many.. a farmer pays
no attention to a wound and goes
ahead,perhaps to pitch manure
which is full of some of the most
virulent germs in the world. He
may get a bad infection and may
lose his hand, if not his life. The
droppings of animals are 'full of
germs that can produce diseases
such as gangrene and blond poi-
soning. When a farmer gets a
•
wound on his hand he would do
well to clean it immediately with
soap and water and put a water-
tight dressing over it.
5. Farmrs catch diseases from
livestock. Another risk the farm-
er runs from cuts is the danger
of contracting a disease from one
of his animals.
6. Farmers breathe too much
dust. They are in danger when
they inhale dust, as when thresh-
ing grain or cleaning out a dusty
place. Such dust often contains
molds which produce diseases re-
sembling tuberculosis, There are
good respirators or dust masks
for men who need to work in
dusty places. They're .not un-
comfortable to wear, as the old
ones were, and not expensive
either. Use one when you're
working around dust.
7. Farmers put tip with .aller-
gies, hay fever, asthma. Just be-
cause they're not complainers,
farmers suffer from discomforts
that they don't need to have. They
get sensitized to one or more of
the dusts, pollens, or animal dan-
druffs, and go around 'perfectly
miserable. The dust may come
from one of the grains, or from a
mold that grows on the grain.
