The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1962-11-08, Page 11Jury urges lift inspection Following a death at Grand Bend this summer, a coroner's jury has recommended that private incline lifts or elevators be brought under government supervision and inspection, The fatal accident, in which John Samuel, London, was killed, occurred on this lift, being viewed by members of the jury before the hearing. Located in front of the Samuel cottage near St. Joseph, the structure was term- ed "definitely not safe" by a provincial inspector. —T-A photo Honor award at Kirkton Inners anquet WE HAVE E NW SHUR-GAIN VEALER • CALF FOR PRODUCTION • All all-new product for efficient eConom- ical veal production. • Shur-Gairi Vealer will produce calves with the desired bloom for top grade in only ten weeks. • Profitable veal calves with only 200 lbs. of Shur-Gairi Vealer.

COORDINATED FEEL4EALTH PROGRAM fie (tufa Be prepared gy T. M. MacDONALD County 4-ordinetor :Emergency Measures. Qr9511.44tien The purpose of this. :message is to give those of yen. who are concerned about the present world situation sonde iositive advice and to toll you with emphasis that it is not oo late to prepare for the eventuality •of a nuclear war. What I an about to s.ay is not, conjecture but edvlee. There are two Important :aspects of preparation for such an event: FIRST—Preparation for the safety of the family unit. SECOND-,.-Preparation within the community. As far as Huron County is ,concerned, •our danger would be from radioactive fallout from detonations .upon targets outside of our area. and primarily from those legated to the 'wet of us, FAMILY PREPARATION • Families are advised: FIRST—To select a position in 'Mir house in the basement or cellar, or if there is no basement or cellar, on the first floor as far from the west as possible, This would be the area where your family should exist while the fall- out is taking piece, SECOND—To procure a transistor battery, radio by which to receive information and authoritative instructions from radio stations CKNX or CFPL, THIRD—To procure and reserve sufficient food to take care of each member of your family for at least two. weeks, FOURTH—To provide some method of keeping warm and some method of cooking in your shelter area not de- pendent upon electricity, LASTLY—To provide some method of lighting your shelter area. With regard to our farming population, on an alert warning being passed out, as many of your livestock as possible should be put wider whatever cover is possible. I would like to emphasize that we are very fortunate in our County of Huron; if we prepare we can survive a nuclear war involving this continent. COMMUNITY PROGRAM Now let us look . to the community in which we live; FIRST, Schools—Schools should have a rehearsed plan to get the children home to complete the family unit. If there is a doubt that a child's home is over a half- hour's distance from the school, he or she should be al- located in the plan to a friend's home for the duration of the emergency, SECOND, Hospitals—Hospitals should plan to allocate the chronically ill and those who are aged and senile to private homes for the period of the emergency in order to relieve the hospitals for critical cases. THIRD, Industries—Employees generally should get to their homes to complete the family unit and to await in- structions. Personnel employed in the operation of Public Utilities should remain on the job until instructions to take cover are received when they too should join their families, FOURTH, Communities—Communities should do an immediate survey on public buildings and stores to find out what fallout shelter is available for those people who are unable to provide home shelter, The basements of most of our stores, community hails, churches, Legion Halls, etc, have adequate shelter, The last but very vital preparation on a community basis is to establish some system of passing out warnings and instructions to everyone in the town, village and town- ship. This initial warning is purely to- tell you. to turn on your radio and listen for authoritative instructions, Your first announcement could come from the Prime Minister, the Premier, or your Warden of the County. Whatever the instruction, follow it implicitly. To conclude this message, it is not too late to do something as a family unit or as a community. There is no need to panic but there is a very great need to see the requirement for sensible preparations, If anyone requires any further advice or assistance telephone Goderich JAckson 4-9163 or drop a line to Emergency Measures Co- • ordinator, 125 South Street, Goderich.

All the confusion, misunder- standing and just plain, bull- By MRS, JOHN ELLIOTT Huron Federation Secretary Press release from the sec- ond Folk School of Ontario 1962: Charles Thomas, second vice- president of the Huron County Federation took advantage of the opportunity to attend the provincial folk school which was held at Geneva Park Res- idential Education Centre on Lake Couchiching from Oct. 19 to 20. Changing conditions in our communities present a chal- lenge which can only be met by an intensive programme of adult education. This conclusion was the result of discussions on the theme "You and Your Com- munity". The atmosphere created by living, working and playing to- gether for six days enabled the participants in the folk school to look objectively at changing conditions in various kinds of communities. Among the interested and sponsoring organizations repre- sented were: The Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture, United Co-operatives of Ontario, Feder- ated Women's Institutes of On- tario, Community Programmes Branch of the Department of Education, Ontario Department of Agriculture, The Co-opera- tive Union of Ontario, Ontario Farm Radio Forum, Alfred (Bud) Watson of Bar- rie, with CIA, was elected to represent. the 1962 folk school Hirtzels buy Kippen bull The top performance - tested bull sold at the sixth sale of 37 registered Hereford cattle at Stanley Jackson's Jaybee Here- ford Farms, brought $870,00. The bull was purchased by Hirtzel Bros, Hereford Farm, Crediton. Average price for seven per- formance-tested bulls was $605.00. Buyers were present from a wide area, including many from the United States, and bidding was brisk, Mr, Jackson said. The second top price for a performance - tested bull was 8800,00. The bull is being ex- ported to Decateur, Ga, The average sale price on 27 bred heifers was $390.00. Two top heifers were bought by Ray A. Depencier and Sons, Thames- vale, Ont., at $520,00 each; 14 bred heifers were sold for ex- port to Covington, Ga, and two bred heifers brought $470.00 toulin Island, Another top heifer was purchased by 13, S.

Perhaps, as suggested in this column six weeks ago, a federal. royal corn- tnissiou could be the answer. At Any rate, the fear main. produeer groups in the province have now askedfor one. Agri. culture Minister Stewart has re- ceived the request but has not commented on it. Ile is speak- ing to the annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture November 12 and one might expect him to say some- thing about it then. One might also expect him to receive the recommendetion favorably. Ottawa has been pushing the provinces of Ontario and Que. at the provincial folk school council annual, meeting. The folk school realized that the communities consists of individ- uals and that the individuals have attitudes which must be broadened through an intensi- fied system of adult education in order to have a more en- lightened and responsible com- munity. Folk schools play an import- ant part in developing respon- sible citizens through a con- tinuing education program and interested organizations a r e urged to enquire about this pro- gram, Information is available at the office of the Ontario Folk School Council, 409 Huron St., Toronto, 5, Ontario. The Ontario Federation of Ag- riculture Annual Convention is being held in the Royal York Hotel, November 12, 13, 14, Says milk quite, safe The nation's milk supply is quite safe. The minister added that the measurements with milk are in no way intended to indicate that there is any particular danger with respect to milk, or indeed, that fall-out material may be present in milk any more than in other commodities, "As a matter of fact", lie ex- plained, "insofar as Strontium 90 is concerned, milk is one of the safest foods because the high level of calcium in milk nullifies to a considerable ex- tent the effects of Strontium 90," y -, -a hen for ,some action to help solve the dairy, problem and Agriculture Minister 1.-Limillon pUt it plainly to producers re- cently.. NI*. Stewart pressed. OW, tarle producers into action soon after lie look office last whiter and the provieierial board was officially . formed May 1. this year. In its six months, 4 has achieved little and now it no longer •exists. Turn to government In effect, the producers have thrown up their hands and told the minister and the govern, meat that they can do nothing so it's up to Mr. Stewart. With a provincial election in the not too distant future, no govern- ment would want to act hastily on such an involved 'problem as that posed by the dairy in- dustry- .nor should, they. So, .a thorough riring of the situation which might be expected from a federal royal commission could be welcomed by Mr, Stewart., Similarly, Mr. Hamilton could be facing the electorate at any time and might also welcome this action. On the other band, his situation ••--- politically — is somewhat different, Quebec, the other major dairy province, is in the midst of an election with no possibility of electing a gov- ernment friendly to Ottawa. British Columbia has a vexing dairy situation within its own boundaries and also a govern- ment that is not noted for co- operation with Ottawa. We don't envy Mr. Hamilton his job. Eighty-two calves from Al- berta, averaging about 470 eounds each, have been distrib- uted among boys and girls of six area townships who have joined Hensel). Feeder Calf Club this year. Mostly Hereford-type, but in- cluding some white-faced An- gus, the calves arrived Monday and Tuesday at the Hensall yard and were awarded to members on the basis of lot, Cost of the calves to the mem- bers will. be 300 a pound plus nine percent shrink. The pur- chase price will be deducted from the return when the calves are sold bp auction after com- petitions at Hensall spring fair, Club secretary Jim McGregor, Kippen, said the members should make some money on the project. "The calves are good and we've been able to get them at a good price, I think the members should do all right." In charge of the project are four directors of the South Hur- on Agriculture Society —Lorne Hay, Verne Alderdice, Lloyd Cooper, P. L. 111cNaughton and Mr. McGregor. Members include; Doug Hug- hill, Derrick Etherington, Ger- ald Finkbeiner, David Pass- more, Neil.

Even had producers received the 19 cent per cwt increase allowed by the price formula, that alone would not justify a one cent increase in the retail price per quart, There are 38 quarts in a cwt of milk, However, other faceirs would justify the price increase —things such as increased la- bor costs to the distributor and general higher production costs in pasteurizing, bottling =and so on. Undoubtedly, a royal com- mission would examine this price formula. Just to make things merry last week, the Ontario Cheese Producers Marketing Boardpre.
