Many of the smokers, some men, some women, lost their lives. Don't be a careless smoker. Above all never smoke in bed—or on a chesterfield when you are likely to fall asleep DON'T GIVE FIRE A CHANCE TO START CIACO-OPERATORS INSUREANCE ASSOCIATION AUTO HOME WHY THERE COULD BE A SHORTAGE OF DAIRY FOODS IN CANADA In Canada, one of the world's great agri- cultural countries, it is ironic that there could be a shortage of milk. One of the main reasons for this is that each year an average of 10,000 dairy farmers are leaving the business. Despite increased efficiency, high costs of operation, equipment and feed are forcing dairy farmers out of business. Nearly all farm expenses have increased while the price of dairy foods has remained fairly constant. There is a serious shortage of farm labour. More and more farm workers are attracted to other industries where they can work fewer hours for more pay. If dairy farmers continue to leave the busi- ness at the current rate, there could be a serious shortage of vital dairy foods in Canada. The dairy industry is important to Canada's economic and nutritional health, And dairy foods are still one of your best food values. 30 Eglinton Avenue East, Toronto 12, Ontario Times-Advocate, June 16, 1966 Poo. 90 donors give blood There's Excitement at Saturday's Horse Show There were 90 donors at the blood donor clinic held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Exe- ter on Monday from 0 to 9 p.m. Although the Red Cross person- nel conducting the clinic were pleased with the turnout, in view of the rainy weather, it was noted that there were 103 donors for the corresponding clinic a year ago. Mrs. G, Mason and a number of volunteer workers attended to details for arrangement pre- ceding the clinic, Heading the Red Cross per- sonnel present from London at the clinic were: Lieut. Col. J. W. Rutledge, district organizer; Mrs. G. Robertson, head nurse; eight nurses' aids; two truck drivers. The next blood donor clinic for Exeter will be held in De- cember, the day after Boxing Day. To prepare for this one there will be a house to house canvas prior to the clinic so that the number of new donors might be increased. Thieves leave mess at school Papers and books were strewn over the floor, desk drawers pulled open and everything left in a general mess when thieves broke into the office of Exeter's Public School Principal early Wednesday morning. to Huron County Council Monday. They are: Dr. R. M. Aldis, Who has been director of the Hur- on County Health Unit since its inception more than 15 years ago; Miss L. Robertson, Miss M. Keough, and Bruce Lobb. At the same time, the board has engaged a summer assist- ant, Murray Lobb, who in turn will be sponsored on a course at Ryerson Institute, Toronto. "We hope Mr. Lobb will return to Huron County at the comple- tion of his course," the report commented. "In this day and age, welind we are in a very competitive field for health unit personnel. It appears that no sooner is a salary schedule set by one unit than it is bettered by another. Thus constant change and vying for staff continues each and every year. In order to obtain adequate staff and retain them once they have been secured, we feel we must meet the competition in the field. "We recommend to county council that in future all salaries of Health Unit staff be deleted from the county salary schedule and left for negotiation between the board and employees." Reeve Kreuter reported that the warden, the clerk and him- self had been in Toronto looking for replacements and had found 14 health units looking fora doct- or director. He urged that the committee be given power to hire "right on the ground". This was the only way to compete. It was stated that the present incumbent was getting $16,000 per year and had been offered a substantial increase. Warden Stewart said that he had been informed by the depart- ment that the county of Huron would have to pay $15,000 to $19,000 per year to secure a man. Pool to open June 19, plan safety program Huron county Council opposed a new "fair wage" proposal for road contracts at its session Monday, but only after some heat- ed discussion. The controversial clause was in connection with the "fair wages" policy of the Ontario De- partment of Labour for various parts of the province. It pointed out that all municipal contracts, with an estimated tender value in excess of $35,000 awarded after July 1, 1966, must contain labour conditions setting out the minimum wage to be paid to every workman if the contract is to be eligible for subsidy, Arguments set forth in the resolution were that: the "fair wage" for many classifications of workmen is far in excess of the rates being paid in the area; contractors would have to pay "fair wage" on all contracts regardless of tender value; these higher wages would affect the labour market in the entire area in all classes of industry; the municipalities were not consulted by either the Department of La- bour nor the Minister of High- ways before having the policy forced upon them. "Therefore be it resolved that the council of the County of Hur- on strongly urge that the minister of highways reconsider his di- rective and make fair wages op- tional at the discretion of the road authority." Reeve Clarence E. Boyle, Ex- eter asked what was the object of the resolution. He thought it was "a little ridiculous" to put such a resolution before the Depart- ment of Highways. "All it is doing is allowing certain contractors to make a lot of money," he de- clared. Mr. Britnell replied that the wage schedule called for large increases in the hourly rates. By MARION WALKER Summer is just about here and it's time to enroll the whole fam- ily again in a Red Cross Water Safety Program, The wise Mr. Water Safety is our guide to sum- mer fun and safe swimming. A water safety program has several purposes for the sum- mer months. Class lessons are designed chiefly to teach child- ren proficiency so that they will be safe in the water, Red Cross standards are high but suited to the needs of the candidates at each level. This year you may register in any one of these levels: adult class; senior swimmer (age 13); intermediate swimmer; junior swimmer; beginner swimmer (age 7 and up); water safety be- ginner (ages 5,6,7). There are definite require- ments for each level and reasons for learning skills or strokes. All classes are taught by a quali- The Rev. J. P. Gandon, A.L.C.D. Rector of the parish of Trivitt Memorial Church, Exeter and St. Paul's Hensall, has been appoint- ed by Rt. Rev. G. N. Luxton, Bishop of Huron, as Rural Dean of the Deanery of Huron. He suc- ceeds the Rev. Harry Donaldson, S. Th., Rector of St. Thomas Church, Seaforth and St. Mary's, Dublin. Rev. Mr. Gandon came to Exeter on July 13, 1963 from Windsor, Ontario. The Rev. M, R. Griffin, Rector of St. James Church, Stratford, has been re- appointed Rural Dean of Perth. Oppose fair wage' cause for county road subsidies Line gathering Gunning picnic ROSES Deputy Reeve Rev. J. Philip. Gandon, Exeter, speaking in favor of the resolution, said that the costs of living are going up for the workingman as well as for the professional man. "We have just voted to raise professional salaries (referring to a prospec- tive increase of $1,000 to the County Engineer. Reeve Joseph Kerr, Winghani, commented that all wages would go up. Reeve Borden Cook, 13lyth, said he didn't like the Department of Labour saying what you should pay. Reeve Duff Thompson, Clinton, said: "I fail to agree that a third party can dictate to me what a fourth party should pay. I can't buy this; it isn't democratic." "How long can we keep labour if we don't keep in the labour market?" asked Reeve Boyle, Exeter. "I think the Department of Highways is right in recom- mending fair wages." The county engineer revealed that the County of Huron now pays $1,55 per hour for common la- bour. Reeve R. R. Jewell said the Town of Goderich paid more than $2 per hour in the works depart- ment. County Engineer Britnell pro- duced present rates and proposed rates under the "fair wage" di- rective of the Department of Highways. He stressed the word "optional" in the r esolution which was of great importance. "Isn't this dictatorial?" put Reeve Duff Thompson, Clinton, in a parting shot. Council divided as follows: FOR the motion; Alexander, Boyd, Cook, Corbett, Cuthi 11, Dalton, Dunbar, Etherington, Geiger, Gibson, Hardy, Hayter (Elmer), Hayter (Jim),Hendrick, Jefferson, Kerr, Krauter, Leip- er, McFadden, Mcllwain, Mc- Kenzie, Procter, Robinson, Smith, Snell, Stewart, Stirling, Talbot, Thiel, Thompson (Duff), Thompson (Elgin), Wonch — Tot- al 32.
