National Farmers' Union has sent a telegram to Agriculture Minister H. A, Olson requesting that Bill C197, legislation that would. institute a form of national farm marketing board, be withheld from final passage of Parliament until after the federal. government's Canadian Agricultural Congress, and the annual convention of the National Farmers Union have been held later this fall,. The Pick acting head for Huron CAS Mr. Bruce R. Heath has commenced his duties as acting local director of the Children's Aid Society of Huron County, effective September 8, 1970. Mr. Heath is a graduate of St. Michael's College, the school of social work, University of Toronto and took advanced courses at the school of social services administration, University of Chicago. He has previously served in supervisory positions with the Hamilton-Wentworth and Metro Toronto Catholic Children's Aid Societies, and for the past two years served as a district supervisor of the family services in Toronto. He replaces Miss Clare McGowan . who retired after working with the Huron County Children's Aid since 1946.She became local director in 1961. request was made to allow farmers the opportunity of discussing, the legislation and assess its ramifications. The telegram pointed out that Bill 0197 offers no provisions for meaningful collective bargaining between produpers and processors, and that it makes marketing agenies responsible to the Minister of Agriculture and not Parliament, thus giving the minister arbitrary powers. Walter Miller, Vice President of the NFU, commenting in By MRS. HUGH MORENZ Ruthie Martin of Crediton spent a few days last week with her grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Les Adams. Mr. & Mrs. Orville Schilbe, Steven, Keith, Allan and Karen of Thamesville, spent the weekend with Mr. & Mrs. Ken Baker and family. Visitors last week with Mr. & Mrs. Harold Vincent and Lori were Mrs. Vincent's mother and sister, Mrs. Fred Hoffman of Barryton, Mich. and Mrs. Horst Kovitzki, Kerry, Kevin and Angela of Rodney, Michigan. Mr. & Mrs. Ross Corbett, Steven and Jeff of Hensall visited Sunday with Mr. & Mrs. H. Morenz and Bill. Mr. & Mrs. Everett Russell of Detroit spent the weekend with Mr. & Mrs. Cliff Russell. Guelph today said if Bill C197 is Passed in its present form, it will create another huge bureaucracy for agriculture, which farmers are completely fed-up with. "One might say it even tends to make farming a public utility." Mr. Miller said he believed the vast majority of farmers across Canada do not want, nor support Bill C197 and that every effort should be made to block it from being ram-rodded through Parliament. The 1969 GFO vote in Ontario, he said, illustrated clearly that farmers want a minimum of Government control, and spokesmen who advocate otherwise are speaking for a minute minority. He said Bill C197 should be considered a tool by which the cheap food policy at the farm level can be perpetuated, but will continue to allow agribusiness to reap profits at the expense of farmers and consumers. Give bursary to students Mrs. Edith &others presided at the regular Huron-Perth TB and Respiratory Disease Association Meeting in Seaforth on Wednesday. Tom Leiper, Londesboro, reported that the Pulmonary Function Machine purchased by the Association is presently in Stratford General Hospital and that his committee has recommended that tests be taken by "Fair Go-ers" for three days. The machine will also be used at meetings for sufferers of chronic bronchitis, emphysema and asthma planned for Goderich and Stratford in the near future. Mrs. Edith Fisher of Mitchell said that Dr. Owen Clarke, Medical Director of the Beck Chest Diseases Unit would be present at the meetings. Industries in the area, too, are being approached with regards to making available screening procedures. Mrs. Fisher said that bursaries had been awarded to two students enrolled in the Inhalation Therapy two-year course at Fanshawe College. The Rehabilitation and Social Service report presented by George Watt of Blyth indicated that Drugs and Inhalation Therapy Machines had been provided for patients as necessary. He referred to the forthcoming meeting of Respiratory Disease persons and said his Committee is vitally concerned with the project. Mrs. B. Davidson, the Association's Director told the meeting that Christmas Seal Campaign procedures are in progress. Allan Campbell, McKillop Reeve who is also chairman of the Huron County Property Committee advised council of an upcoming meeting to review county insurance policies with an eye to dropping the "kick-back" to local insurance agencies. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle suggested the county should call tenders for insurance in the county and he was backed up in this instance by James Hayter, reeve of Stephen Township. "It is the only fair way to do it," stated Hayter, "especially if we are going to remove the rebates to our local insurance agents." At the present time, the Frank Cowan Insurance Company handles all the county insurance. Rebates to county insurance agents amount to about $3,000 annually. "In other words, ourpremium should come down by $3,000," said John Berry, clerk-treasurer. Berry also outlined the difficulties to be met if the county would tender for insurance coverage. Warden Roy Westcott indicated the extra costs could offset the savings. Attention was drawn, however, to the eventual savings earned by the Huron County Board of Education according to newspaper reports. Ed Oddliefson, reeve of Bayfield, was assured that council would have an opportunity to look over the arrangements made for insurance in Huron County before any final decision was made. 4-H meeting at Winchelsea • By MRS.

Dropping lick-backs' suggested for county Ethel Dewar, Huron County's new librarian, made her first Appearance before .county council Friday afternoon, and told members that she has found "a real eagerness for books" in Huron. She also outlined plans for a direct mail library which will give any Huron County resident "access to almost every book in the country." She explained that readers can write chrect to the county library headquarters in Goderich and the book requested will be mailed out at no cost to the reader, just as soon as it can be rounded up, sometimes immediately, A circulation report showed that out of 32 libraries in Huron, 11 libraries, all of them small, have circulated fewer books this year than last year, In the overall picture, there were almost 10,000 more books circulated in Huron County during 1970 than in 1969. The new library vehicle was on display for council's benefit and Miss Dewar quipped that she hoped she would be permitted to .stay In Huron fora while since she had purchased a new dress. to match the smart blue wagon, Another county vehicle on rlisplay was the Huron County Mtisettm bus which takes some exhibits from the .museum directly to .the people, at fairs etc. Allan Campbell, .chairman of the property Committee, said the scheme: had "panned out better than our expectations." There is no charge to tour this bus and according to some reeves and deputy-reeVes throughout the county, it has. 'been-- well. received at the local fairs. The bus will travel to the Plowing Match At Lindsay. In other afternoon business, council learned there is to be no deer season in Huron this fall; were urged to attend a seminar on Industrial Development to be held at CFB Clinton in October; and heard that all municipalities in the county are invited to forward information about their localities to the county development officer so he can refer interested industrialists to them. ouilmorniollimmmumwmimumminiffilimmillimminmilitiiinummiiiimilliminiminiF-_- e, 1 fVe need . . . = i.---. = =— e e d Oats it Barleyi = = . _ ... .-- = = Wheat _ .,_.: . = _•-•=:-.
