TWILIGHT MEETING — The annual twilight meeting of the Perth County Soil and

tural representative, and Norman Dow, Staffa., inspect a plot of trefoil and timothy,

The Ontario Beef. Producers
Ass'n has indicated that a
change in tactics may be pend-
ing in its efforts to develop an
information and promotion pro-
gram aimed at both producer
and consumer.
The 1001 annual meeting of
the association authorized the
directors to proceed with plans
to instigate a voluntary deduc-
tion of 1.00 per head on all cat-
tle sold in Ontario, The idea
was that the association would
help pay for the truckers' bills
of lading which would contain
a . clause enabling the shipper
(the farmer) to authorize the
sales yard or packing plant to
deduct the l0' per head and
send the money to the associa-
tion.
However, although all truck-
ers are supposed to use bills of
lading according to the laws of
this f:tprovince, a survey con-
ducted by the economics branch
of the department during the
past year indicates that only
about 25 r ; actually do,
Surveys conducted by the beef
producers association in the last
year indicate that over three-
quarters of the farmers ship-
ping cattle consider bills of lad-
ing necessary, and almost the
same percentage favored a vol-
untary deduction plan to raise
funds for some kind of public
relations, information and pro-
motion program. Small ship-
pers contacted were nearly all
in favor, while only about ball
of large shippers indicated that
they would contribute.
Now, we understand that the
costs involved in printing and
distributing these bills of lad-
ing (and perhaps the difficulties
involved in enforcing their use),
opposition from some truckers
who claim they would have to
act as the information branch of
the association in explaining.
the deduct'on. to farmers, and
some doubt the amount of
money that could be raised this
way, have given 11w directors
reason for a change in thinking,
Compulsory plan?
Considera lion is now being
given to some. type of compul-
sory plan to raise funds.
Many farmers fear any kind
of compulsory plan. since they
believe it might be the first step
toward a compulsory marketing
plan that would provide agency
powers similar to those under
the hog producers marketing
hoard, There are all kinds of
different plans possible Wider
the Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Act and George Mc-
Cague, chairman of the board
that administers that act, has
said it is quite possible to have
jt plan to collect funds for pro-
motion and information pur-
poses that Cannot become a
full - fledged agency marketing
plan.
If all producers. contributed
10e per head all cattle sold,
which would be the case under
A compulsory plan, the associa-
tion should have between 575,000
and $85,000 annually to finance
its work, This might include an
Office an d a Seerotaty-manager'
or fieldman, an information
program for producers to ke ep
'them abreast of both production
and marketing develOpMeMs,
and a promotional program to
stimulate the sale Of beef.
The .exact details of the plan
have not been worked out, but
information to prOducers through
press, radio and television and
perhaps a regular publication
would. be part, of the program.

Changes in workman's act
Farmers who employ hired
help either full-time or season-
ally, should pay particular at-
tention to recent amendments
to the regulations under the
Workmen's Compensation Act of
Ontario.
Sections 11-a to 20 of Regula-
tion 571 of the act have been
altered in such a way as to
make it necessary for an em-
ployer of five or less workers
to provide a first aid box con-
taining certain specific items,
and to maintain it in a readily
accessible place, He is also
obliged to see that this first aid
box is in the care of one of his
employees who is conversant
with first aid, and works in the
vicinity of the box.
The first aid kit shall contain
a first aid manual, scissors,
safety pins, antiseptic, and a
number of stated types of ban-
dages and dressings, including
a triangular bandage, Persons
employing more than five per-
sons are required to provide a
much larger first aid kit, the
contents of which are also
spelled out in the regulation.
As more and more .farmers
turn to hired help an either a
seasonal basis, or a full-time
basis, it is imperative that they
recognize these requirements
that are spelled out under the
workmen's compensation act,
However, over and above . the
fact that such is required, it
would seem good common sense
not. have the proper footing. He
said the building was sitting on
concrete slabs but should have
been sitting on footings at least
.three feet in the ground.
at was later reported that a
qualified construction engineer
had approved the plan for the
footings.)
TO, Clarke also revealed that
an addition to a cottage was
being built of cement blocks
without any kind of foundation.
The inspector was instructed to
have footings dug for the struc-
ture.
Council decided to have copies
of the bylaw printed to give to
every applicant for a building
permit.
Mr. Clarke was appointed
trench and excavation inspector
for the township,
Approve Federation levy
Acting on a written request
from Hay Federation of Agri-
vulture, council agreed to levy
two-fifth of a mill membership
levy on all farmers unless they
ask to have the levy taken off
their tax notices,
Council stipulated that the
Federation executive must, con-
tact those people who did not
pay the rate last year that they
must, make their request. before
September 1 this year •
that farmers have such first aid
kits available for the benefit of
their hired help. their families,
and themselves.
First aid is nn substitute for
farm safety, but we must be re•
alistic and recognize that acei•
dents do happen, Proper emer-
gency care may save a limb
and even a life.
Changes in demerit system
Farm people as drivers
autos and trucks should acquaint
themselves with the changes in
Ontario's driver demerit sys-
tem introduced recently and
coming into effect on July 1,
1962. Nine new offenses have
been added to the list for which
demerits may be assessed. The
minister of transport, Hon. Mr.
Rowntree, has stated that it is
not the purpose of the regula-
tions to carry out wholesale
withdrawal of driving privileges.
but .rather to make all motor-
ists better drivers.
Wheat exports hit snag
Export demand for Canadian
grains has apparently dropped
in recent weeks and some con-
cern is being expressed at the
rate of movement of grain out
of the Lakehcad.
As at June 6, stocks of wheat
were 5.6 millions bushels coin•
pared to 43.0 million a year
ago. but lake shipments for the
week were down to 2.9 million
for the same week last year.
Lake shipments of all grains
from the Lakehead for the week
were S.0 million bushels, and
12.4 million a year ago.
Council instructed Clerk H,
W, Brolcerishire to prepare a list
of those property owners who
have requested that their school
Assessments be. changed from

list will he turned over to the
assessor to, deal with according
to regulations.
Accept petition
Council accepted a petition
for drainage from Herbert Neeb
owner of con. 8, lot 18, 50
acres, and Edward Schroeder,
con. 8 W 1/2 of S4,.z lot 10, 25
acres. Engineer C. P. Corbett,.
Lucan, was authorized to make
a survey and prepare a report.
Two parties were at the coun-
cil meeting to present subdivi-
sion plans along 'the lake, One
plan was presented for the Jet-
frey and Mernovidge sub-divi-
sion behind the farm of Leon.
Bedard, and the other was for
a Bauman sub-division behind
the property of Victor Masse,
Both plans were approved and
the go-ahead was given by the
council, In both cases they
picked out the lot they wanted
for their green area.
An agreement has been
reached between the village of
Zurich and the Township of Hay
whereby the township holds
two-thirds equity in the Corn-
munity Centre, and the village
holds one-third. All expenses
are to be shared on the same
ha.sis. Approval of the change
in ownership was received from
the Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture, who supervise such
transactions.
A letter was read from the
Bank of Montreal informing the
council of an increase. in inter-
est rate from 51.2 percent, to
6 per cent.
