The model depicted Louis Pasteur and his discover- ies in the laboratory which eventually led to our pasteur- ized milk process. William A. Clements, a Toronto sculptor, has again shown his skill by working 500 pounds of butter into a larger -than life size figure of Louis Pasteur which attracted nearly 200,000 visi- tors. Re-elect Delbridge Huron County Cream Produc- ers held their annual meeting in -the council chambers of Clin- ton Town Hall on Oct. 23. Hor- ace Delbridge, chairman of the meeting was re-elected chair- man for the 1962.63 term. W. Hotson, chairman of On- tario Cream Producers -Market- ing Board, gave an interesting address. Harold Martin of To- ronto, -secretary of the Provi- sional Milk Marketing Board, also spoke, My week in the Dakar hos- pital is the most relaxed, and at the same time, the most stimulating of my • life, Hepa- titis is a disease which leaves one feeling tired, but otherwise normal and because there is no pain or discomfort to dis- tract the patient, he is free to think, or meditate, or simply to withdraw in sleep. • This African hospital is ad- mirably suited to all three pur- suits. Each evening, I fall a- sleep to the sounds which the night air brings. in from the city, the faint bleat of horns from the harbour, or the elec- ironically amplified melodies of the griot, the Wolof singer who earns his living by weaving ex- temporaneous songs of praise at marriages, baptisms, ,or fu- nerals, Perhaps I fall asleep to the regular tic-tic of the huge tropi- cal fan suspended from, the ceiling, and for every tick, I count a Senegalese sheep jump- ing over a briar fence, Or, per. ..ips I fall asleep to the rush of a tropical rain, never violent or prolonged, yet which, since our arrival in June has trans- formed the brown, parched country-side into a lush green landscape, Rains once a year To the north at Tassinere, where- the school which we helped to build now stands, it, is still very dry, even though this is officially. the rainy sea- son. Further north, in Maure- tania, there is literally no vege- tation at all.. There, according to Jean-Yves, a French soldier who is in the same ward as I am, it rains only once a year, and then only for a short time, He shows me some pictures of his -fort in the Sahara desert, a lonely outpost in the middle of a vast sandy waste, the only trees grow inside the enclosure, and these are cut off at roof height by the searing, killing desert wind. Among the patients at the hos- pital is a bearded French- Canadian chap who Tuna a school in -tit Casamance, the southern - most province in the country. He is quite pleased to find a fellow Canadian, and we have several interesting chats together. There are a number French Canadians in Senegal. A group of priests from Que- bec have a school here in Da- kar, and at the University a young girl from Montreal is studying geography. In talking to French-Canad- ians Who know Africa well I am impressed with the similarities in some ways between their sit- nation as a 'minority. in Canada, and that of the Africans. in both cases, there is a struggle to maintain some kind of cul- tural. identity, The Africans too, are understandably very syinpa- thetie to the separatist move- ment, Hospital segregation The patient in a .Senegalese hospital is completely free to wander about in beautiful the shaded arcades and beautiful gardens, and as mill as I . am free, I lake advantage of this freedoin, I soon discover a disturbing Ihing„ I have been segregated, for all the white patients are on. one side of the central court- yard, and all the. Africans are on the others 1 ask why :this is, and Atli told With a shrug that many Frenchmen don't. want to be with the Africans, It's not that they are prejudiced, _they Fly, but the Africans smell dif,, revolt, even tiffeliglyt to, the +°-lute'M AIL tell Mein flatly flat this is- net true, for I have lived with Africans for seven weeks. "Maybe so,", they say nth A resigned sigh, "but that's the way it is." ... Because we arc free ib walk around, I haVe a. chance to break this artificial barrier, and to visit With some of the can 'patients. strike up a friendship with Abdoulaye, a• young ,Senegalese public school teacher, in whose life, it seems to me, is reflected a tragedy that Senegal will have to reek- on with in the future. Abdoulaye, who teaches the lower grades in the Ecole Clemenceau, loves to work with "les petits" but feels that the salaries paid to teachers are too low, His im- mediate plan is to get a job, through a relative, with the government, where the salaries are much better, and there is more security and prestige. Senegal today is losing too many capable teachers to high- er-paying government jobs, and yet the education of her youth is so vitally important in her growth and development. Each day, some of the stu- dents who worked with us at Saint-Louis come to visit me, and each time they bring a little gift, a bag of fruit, or a jar of yogurt, We talk, as we did in Saint-Louis, of many things, of life in Canada, and in Senegal, and of the future. They still have several years of high school to complete, and so have no definite plans made as yet, but they are already thinking seriously about the future, Vital difference I notice one essential differ- ence between these boys and stu- dents in. Canada. They look for- ward to playing an active role in their country's future. In a word, they are politically a- ware and conscious of their importance to the country. In Canada, the student who looks forward to playing an active role in national development is the exception rather than the rule. It is not his fault, It is just that he is faced with a much larger country, in which there appears much less to be done, August 24 approaches too rapidly, and it is time to leave the country which I have just begun to know, and the people who have become any friends and brothers. In this week of tranquility, I have seen more clearly the nature of the prob- lems which face Senegal as a developing African nation. But I have also encountered people who are willing to meet these problems honestly, and who have, not only the enthusiasm, but the ability to overcome them. As I walk through the streets Federal loans will became available to many more Cana- (lien farmers as a result of ma* jor and far-reaehing amend- ments to the regulations of the Farm Credit Act, announced by Agricultural Minister Alvin The effect pf the amendments 11:iallrnhiletotno, provide a much r r (lie m neseoa11 farmers ,fin all ociai. assisallce to across Canada, Mi. Hamilton predicted that their greatest effect will be felt in many Parts of Ontario, in AQinleabneuec, liirriolvisinhee oCs, lutmhebiay,ukthone 7erritory and the N.W.T. A change in the regulation governing the appraisal of farm; will permit the Farm Cre- dit Corporation to attach great- er importance to the value ef farm buildings, where they are essential to specialized produc- tion. This will make it. possible Go lend to poultrymen, green- house operators, and other farm- ers whose operations require relatively high inv,..stment in buildings on small areas of land, Another amendment will per- mit loans to farmers who must depend on secondary income from other sources to supple- ment their farm revenues, In the past, only income stemming from the actual production of a farmer's land could be con- sidered in assessing a loan ap- plication, Removal of this re- staietion will enable the corPO* ration to 'take into account monies received from a variety of other sources, The corporation will now be able to recognize, for loan pur- poses, the returns from special- ized operations based on the use of purchased feeds, as 111 the case of poultry and hog Oreduc• ton. Proceeds from any ion- agricultural enterprise con. ducted on the farm, such as camping grounds, tourist cab* ins, and other recreational pro- jects will also be considered; as will off-farm income from pen• slops, annuities, part-time ern• ployment and similar sources. This amendment will be of par- ticular impo7tance in areas where land is held in small par- eels, and where it is difficult or impossible to assemble enough land for an economic unit based solely on agricultural potential. Mr. Hamilton stressed that each applicant will still be ex- pected to provide the corpora- tion with a plan to show that the loan will help him to in- crease his net income, after providing for repayment, as .this is the principal objective of the farm credit program, He ex- plained that •the greater fi exrs- bility would be most effective in raising the living standards of borrowers whose principal — but not sole — occupation is farming, — Please turn to page 15 Reflections from a hospital bed (One of a series) By PAUL WILSON Ely MRS JOHN ELLIOTT Huron Federation Secretary News report from the Ontario Milk Producers' Co-ordinating Board: Milk marketing is the °most talked about topic these days. What has been achieved so far and what is the future outlook on this subject? Since the meeting of Ontario dairy industry leaders with the minister of agriculture, the lion. William A. Stewart, on Jan. 9, 1962, all in all 19 meetings have been held. In the first four or five meetings government of- ficials and other experts pro- vided the newly-formed board with guidance and advice. On April 4 - members of the board were elected and the Pro- visional Milk Marketing Board came into being. An advisory board to the Pro- visional Milk Marketing Board was also set up but a date has still not been finalized for the 70,000 Ontario dairy farmers to cast their vote for a milk mar- keting plan, At a recent meeting of the Provisional 11I ilk Marketing Board it was decided -to con- duct a vote before November 1, 1962. A small committee met with government officials who were also concerned with the amount of opposition to the plan and lack of agreement at exec- utive level and were doubtful if a date for a vote should be finalized at this time. At a meeting in Toronto on Friday, Sept. 21, the Provision- al Milk Marketing Board ac- cepted the recommendation of the advisory board to receive and study further submissions at is Is el stirworiiv ti;iikereliffielirillifisi w amaaaaaaaaa aaaaaanasaaaa a a• Please turn to page 15 ANY SIZE ANY PURPOSE
