Although milk consumed by the public is not affected by the disease, Mastitis is esti- mated to cost Olitarie clairY far!. mere about ,$10,000,000 a year in lost production, Mr. Stewart said. "Although pasteurization, as universally practiced, kills all known mastitis virus, the prob- lem has plagued farmers for more than 150 years," Mr. Stewart said.

In addition, he said, "the F-86 Sabre flown by the Hawks is no longer in operational service with the RCAF and will soon be very difficult and costly to maintain". Several Centralia pilots flew with the seven-man team, which has thrilled millions of spectators in the U.S. as well as in Canada. RCAF's famed aerobatic team, the Golden Hawks, who performed before huge crowds at Centralia during Air Force Day shows in recent years, have been grounded by the defence department's budget cuts. Hon. Paul Hellyer announced last week the gov't plans to spend the $750,000 required for the Hawks each year for Parkhill dam start delayed to Sept. 1 3 Garments For The Price of 2 Starting date for construc- tion of the Parkhill Dam has again been postponed, execu- tive of the Ausable authority learned Tuesday afternoon here. George Ramage, project manager for the engineering firm of M. M. Dillon and Co., Reeve Norman Jones, who is also chairman of Hensall PUC, says complaints about low volt- age in the village are "over- done". "We're working on it", he said, "and I think the situation -is well in hand, but you can't please everybody, you know. No matter what you do, there will be one or two who will complain." Council last week took no action on street lighting plans because of the complaints. Se- veral members felt the voltage problem should be solved be- fore an extensive lighting pro- gram is undertaken. "We've been replacing lines and putting in transformers," said the reeve. "We did some work last year and some the year before and we have some more to do this year." Toronto, said the target date for the contractor to move in on the job is now September 1, 1964. Earlier the firm had hoped construction would start this spring. Mr. Ramage reported plans were about a week behind sche- dule at this point but he ex- ALL THIS MONTH AT Beach crash in February! BRADY CLEANERS EXETER OFA guides farmers over pipeline rights SECOND READING Bill No. 10, an act to amend the Junior Farmer Establish- ment Act, has gone through the committee of the house and has had second reading. Now it has only to receive third reading and royal assent to become law. This amendment, of course, provides for an increase from the former $20,000 loan to a new maximum of $40,000 available in accordance with the terms and conditions laid down. Ontario Federation of Agri- culture properties -department is assisting area farmers in their negotiations with London PUC for rights of way for the proposed pipeline from Lake Huron. Feldman Bob Eaton told Huron Federation directors last week that the OFA department is preparing a booklet to give on the main river between Nairn and Arkona. The gauge, which will cost in the neighborhood of $600, would be used for recording runoff and forecasting flood levels. The executive approved the ancillary conservation measur- es program which includes an extensive reforestation pro- gram. However, referred to the re- forestation board was a sug- gestion that the authority in- crease its assistance to land- owners for establishment of woodlots, instead of purchasing more property for the author- ity which involves greater tax- ation expense. Chairman Freeman Hodgins, Parkhill, was in charge of the meeting at the authority office here. Marches net added $450 Are you one of the LIVELY ONES? To seek cost of east sewer peeled that drafting would catch up to the timetable shortly. He was accompanied by Peter Morris, who will be the on-site engineer for the Dillon firm, First stage of construction will be the south dam structure which will control flow from the million-dollar dam. It is expected that the complete pro- ject will take two years. Final survey work is now being completed and the en- gineers are meeting with the various agencies involved in the planning. Among these are Ontario Dep't of Highways, On- tario Hydro, Parkhill PUC and the Bell Telephone Co., as well as various government depart- ments at both the provincial and federal levels. APPROVE SCHOOL The executive approved plans of the public relations board to proceed with organization of the conservation science school at Camp Sylvan this spring or fall. The present plan is to con- duct two one-week courses stressing conservation prac- tices among boys with agri- cultural leanings. A meeting to lay the ground- work for operation of the school will be held at the University of Western Ontario Tuesday, Feb. 18. Dr. E. G, Pleva, head of the UWO geography depart- ment, will chair the meeting.

'nary College," Mr, Stawart said results of PilPt Prograrn conducted at the Department of Agriculture's experimental station at Ridge- teWn involving 150 dairy herd§ revealed that mastitis can be successfully controlled, Dairy farmers may enrol their herds in a mastitis con- trol plan, and following appriod of testing and treatment, obtain mastitis-free certificate is- sued by the department. Mr. Stewart said that an ex- tensive education program as well as continuing research will be necessary to achieve success in controlling mastitis. "On the basis of our pilot program we know that in many cases the problem can be cor- rected by participating in the control plan for about six. months," he said. "Having met the problem, some farmers may not wish to continue in the Control Plan in- definitely, but others have in- dicated they would want to be- come members of the plan on a permanent basis," Mr. Stewart said. A nominal fee per cow, yet to be worked out to eventually make the plan self-sustaining, will be charged to the farmer to cover initial laboratory and ve- terinary services when the far- mer enrols. Mr. Stewart said research projects to date indicate that mastitis must be attacked on a herd basis to be successful, and for this reason farmers will be encouraged to enrol all their cows and to follow herd stan- dards and uniform m ilk ing methods. Mr. Stewart said the depart- ment, in conjunction with the Ontario Veterinary College, is presently working out arrange- ments for the plan, including an effective starting date, la- boratory services, field per- sonnel and other services to the farmer which will be re- quired, "As well as the work of the department, including the coun- ty agricultural representatives and the dairy branch fieldman, the full co-operation of the veterinary profession and oth- ers involved in the dairy in- dustry will be necessary to achieve success," Mr. Stewart said, "Based on our present re- search knowledge, an effective program against mastitis must include detection ; diagnosis and treatment, environmental fac- tors and milking methods and procedures," "A program which ignores any one of these factors will have little chance for success." "The dairy industry of On- tario cannot afford the loss of production due to this problem, and it cannot continue to absorb the increased cost of treatment without some major attack on the whole problem and its cause." DR. CHASE Nerve Food Helps Fight FATIGUE Gov't calls tenders for GB post office Tenders have been called by the federal department of public works for construction of a post office in Grand Bend. The office will be located on the old No. 81 highway, which now is being re-aligned to meet No. 21. The old section of the highway will revert to Grand Bend. Deadline for the tenders is March 4. Specifications call for a frame structure covered with brick veneer. It will measure 38' x 41' and provide a public lobby of 17' x 12'.

PC George Mitchell verifies it happened Sunday, when an International Scout driven by Ronald Bechill, 22, Grand Bend, struck a washout on the beach and suffered $75 damage. His wife, 24, suffered a con- cussion, lacerations to her head and knee when she was thrown into the windshield. Bechill was driving the small truck along the sand north of Grand Bend when it hit the ditch created by running water. The accident was one of three investigated by OPP this past week. Another Sunday crash involv- ed Michael A. Cushman, 16, Exeter, and Tennis Berends, 52, also of town, who collided east of No. 4 on 83 highway. The Cushman vehicle, a station wagon, was coming out of the concession road to turn on 83 when it struck the westbound Berends car. Damage totalled $275. A car driven by Glen Kells, 23, Mitchell, skidded backwards into a fence post on No. 83, east of No. 4, Saturday, caus- ing $300 damage. PC Harry Reid said the eastbound car went out of control during a heavy snowstorm. PC William Glassford esti- mated damage at $600 when cars driven by Wayne Keller, 16, RR 3 Zurich, and Thomas Meyers, 71, Zurich, collided Saturday on the Babylon Line about a mile south of No. 84. In town Saturday, the right front wheel of a car operated by Mrs. Elizabeth Peat, 63, London, locked as it was travel- ling north on No. 4 and skidded into a parked car owned by Menno S. Steckle, 66, RR 2 Zurich. The crash, in which damage amounted to $150, oc- curred near the intersection of Main and Huron. Constable Har- ry Bergen investigated. Walper s Clearance SPECIALS WINTER TOPCOATS Another $450 has been added to the area contribution to March of Dimes from RCAF Centralia and Grand Bend. Dis- trict total is now over $1,100. The Centralia drive netted $270, according to Mrs. Nan Dodd, chairman of the march- ing group for Huron Park. Mrs. Ruth Pat Ravell, chair- man of the Grand Bend com- mittee, reports a total con- tribution of $180.50 in that vil- lage. The. donations came from students of Grand Bend public school and householders can- vassed by m embers of the Grand Bend Legion Auxiliary. Last week, nearly $700 was raised in Exeter and Hensall marches. The donations go to the Re- habilitation Foundation for the Disabled.

He also reported that while the amendment to the Bank- ruptcy Act presented in a pri- vate member's bill had notbeen passed by the federal govern- ment, it seemed probable that it would be incorporated into government legislation during the next session. EARLY CL AIMS Ag Rep Douglas Miles said claims for livestock lost through the carelessness of hunters should be reported im- mediately to his office, He reported he had received one claim to date since the legislation had been approved by the government, but pointed out the report had come after a lengthy delay since the date of the incident. He urged the federation to advise members that claims should be sent in immediately upon loss. The agriculture representa- tive also reported that a farm management course would be given over CKNX TV at 1:30 p.m. for seven consecutive Sat- urdays, commencing on Febru- ary 8. He urged that watching these important and informative lec- tures should be considered as part of the "chores" done by farmers. Carl Hemingway, Ontario di- rector for FAME, reported that farmers' enthusiasm for the project was higher than it ever had been and this was reflected in the fact that on Monday morning of this week, the high- est number of share applica- tions in the history of the orga- nization had arrived, Monday, February 3, as mi- nister of agriculture, I made a statement in the house concern- ing the efforts of the govern- ment to expand the export mar- ket for Ontario's farm products. Last year's success with this program in the United Kingdom justified an expanded and more intensive program for this year's Ideal Home Show in Great Britain, to be held in March in London, England. Food processing firms, pro- ducer marketing boards, and the market development branch of the department are co-operat- ing in this project and will stock and man the exhibit with the help of a group of attractive young women to sell the products. Everything is being done to display the products attractive- ly and to further the growing recognition by the visitors to the show of the quality and variety of our canned fruits and vegetables, our cheddar cheese, honey and flue-cured tobacco. Whole and cut-up cook- ed and frozen chicken will be served and sold for the first time. Our exports to Great Britain during the past year have reach- ed an all-time high. This is most gratifying for it was just in 1960 that we regained entry into the overseas market. As everyone knows, Great Britain was on a dollar austerity program which seriously interfered with the food trade relationshipwlth Great Britain which O Ontario agriculturists had come to ap- preciate and participate in dur- ing the second world war and the period immediately follow- ing. When Great Britain relaxed these dollar restrictions the then minister of agriculture, Hon. Mr. Goodfellow, and se- veral of the departmentof agri- culture staff went to Great Bri- tain and explored the possibili- ties of again breaking into the British food market. The evi- dence of their success is now indicated by the tremendous volume of export of Ontario food products from Ontario. We believe it is the respon- sibility of the government to co-ordinate and assist in every way possible the processors and exporters of Ontario food pro- ducts. We feel there is nobetter means of developing export trade than to have private in- dustry doing everything pos- sible to expand its volume, SUITS 12 ONLY REG. $59.50 TO CLEAR AT $39.95 SPORT COATS Gulens aids 'U' champs 10 ONLY VALUES TO $34.95 TO CLEAR AT $19.95 Town council will be request- ed to approve a cost calculation of providing sanitary sewers for subdivisions on the east side of town, following a meeting between a committee and the planning board Tuesday night. The group agreed that es- timates should be secured for extending the sewer at the cor- ner of Huron and Edward east and north to provide service to at least some of the land which is being developed on the east side. When and if estimates are secured, the committee plans to meet with subdivision owners to develop a policy over pay- ment of costs. A snag may arise here, however, since own- ers of land between subdivisions are not developing their pro- perty at the present time, The council committee, head- ed by Mayor W. E. Simmons met with the planning board at the request of the latter which felt some sewerage or drain- age policy shouldbe established before further development is authorized or encouraged in the official plan. Engineer B. M. Ross attended the meeting and he will provide the estimates if council ap- proves. PUC Manager Hugh Davis, also present, confirmed the wa- ter saturation problem in the area. He said the level at water line connections came within one foot of the surface, en- dangering a freeze-up of pipes. In subdivision plans already approved by council, owners have agreed to be responsible for drainage and sewer ser- vices. However, no outlets are provided by the municipality.

At their meeting, recently, the resolution was again pre- sented by Mrs. Mervyn Lobb, committee chairman, and was discussed by J. G. Burrows, Exeter, South Huron public school inspector; A. J. Gray, principal, Clinton Public School; William Nediger, head of the mathematics departnient at Central Huron Secondary School, Mrs. Lobb reported at an earlier meeting that she felt the departmental exams would bring rural education up to the standard of graded schools, due to the fact it would present More of a challenge to rural teacherS, as well as pupils, After defining the aim of education in part as being to teach the pupils to live in a deinoetatie society and to deve, lop habits of behaviour to this way of life, Mr, BliitoWS said he did not faVer departmental exams on the basis that this was "lock-step method", He explained that under Stith a syStein a student could not progress to the next step in education Until he had satisfac- torily completed all the i4 6. tailtetnente Of the preceding Step.
