"The laboratory is set up to perform services over and above what a veterinarian can do in his office," says Dr. Pridham. "If a veterinarian needs assistance with a disease problem, he will refer an animal to the laboratory for analysis." The Huron Park Laboratory is equipped to carry out tests in bacteriology, parasitology, pathology, hematology, serology and clinical chemistry. The results of these tests help to determine the proper course of treatment. Test results are recorded by the laboratory and sent back to the veterinarian, or to the owner in cases of poultry. Sometimes the laboratory will perform a necropsy for a veterinarian to confirm the exact reason for an animal's death. A complete medical diagnosis requires examination of visible symptoms as well as tests done on a microscopic level. The laboratory's function is primarily a diagnostie one, but investigational research projects are also carried out. Dr. Pridham will be assisted by Dr. Gaylan Josephson. The staff will consist of three technicians, a mastitis control fieldman, an assistant to help in performing necropsies, and secretarial assistance. The Animal Health Technology course is conducted by Dr. G. R. Doidge and Dr. W. G. Balsdon in the new building. The personnel of the Laboratory and Animal Health Technology course complement each other in their duties. Dr. T. R. Melady, Regional Veterinarian (Meat Inspection), is also located in this building. The five other regional laboratories operate programs similar to that planned by the Huron Park Laboratory. All of these laboratories are under the direction of the Laboratory Division of the Veterinary Services Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, They are located at Brighton, Kemptville, New Li skeard, Ridgetown and Guelph. OASHWOOD Phone 287-338i or 237.3422 Agriculture Minister H. A. (Bud) Olson last week tabled legislation in the House of Commons which will pave the way for creation of national farm prodocts marketing agencies. The proposed legislation provides for the creation of a National Farm Products Marketing Council. In addition, it would give the Governor-in-Council (the Cabinet) authority to establish national marketing agencies for particular commo dities in response to industry needs and desires. • The Bill provides for close co-operation between the federal and provincial levels of government in the design and operation of national farm products marketing schemes. There are approximately 120 provincial or sub-provincial farm products marketing. agencies currently operating in Canada. "It has become evident to producers that there is need for a national approach to such marketing schemes for at least some commodities because of the limited effectiveness of unco-ordinated provincial schemes," Mr. Olson said. The proposed legislation gives the Governor-in-Council the authority to establish agencies which could: - exercise some or all of the federal government powers over marketing. - control one or more specific farm products. - operate within a region or within all of Canada. The G ov e rnor-i n-Counci I would approve a specific marketing plan and appoint the agency which would be authorized to administer the plan. This allows for the creation of national marketing• ancies with specific marketing schemes tailored to the requirements and peculiarities of particular commodities. Agencies established under this legislation could vary from ones with very limited powers to achieve a minimum amount of co-ordination or promotion to ones carrying out more comprehensive marketing functions including selling, pricing, assembling, packing, transporting and storing. The marketing agencies established under the federal legislation can be empowered to receive a delegation of powers from provinces in order that the agency would be in a position to exercise provincial, as well as federal, authority over the marketing of a farm product or products. The federal government, in general, has jurisdiction over interprovincial and export movement of farm products, the provincial governments over the marketing of farm products within a province. The legislation also provides for the appointment, by the Governor-in-Council, of a national farm products marketing council which would have considerable responsibility over the design, review and oversight of the operation of marketing plans and marketing agencies established under the Act. "Emphasis is placed on the maintenance and expansion of an economic and competitive farming industry and on a dependable supply of high-quality products to consumers," Mr. Olson said. "Over the past several decades, Canadian , agriculture has undergone a revolution in production techniques. It has become evident that we now Syrup festival set at Elmira The sixth annual Elmira maple syrup festival is being held Saturday, April 4, this year.

The proposed legislation provides the framework for significant adjustments to take place, particularly for some commodities, through the creation of national marketing agencies." There have been many discussions over a period of time aimed at the creation of national marketing agencies, The most recent of these was a series of federal-provincial meetings to discuss the establishment of a national egg marketing agency. "Rather than proposing legislation for the creation of a single marketing agency at this time, we have decided to propose legislation under which a number of national marketing agencies, each dealing with a particular commodity or group of commodities, could be formed," Mr. Olson said. National marketing agencies will not be given any control over importation of products. It is possible, however, that the agencies could increase the effectiveness of export marketing programs. The 'histOry of national marketing agencies traces to broad marketing legislation introduced by the federal government in the early 1930s. That legislation was ruled by the courts to be outside the federal government's jurisdiction. More recent legislation has established the Canadian Wheat Board and the Canadian Dairy Commission. The provinces have proceeded to implement farm products marketing legislation providing for the establishment of producer marketing boards and, more recently, for other types of farm product marketing agencies as well, with Mr. & Mrs. Bob Norris and family.
