"Last year you were all made
aware of our research program
in early Hybrid Seed Corn - a
program partially supported by
N.R.C. and I.R.D.I.A. Research
funds. Today, one year later, we
wish to bring you up to date on
this program,
"New hybrids that you saw
being made up here last year,
plus additional new hybrids from
our New Zealand winter breeding
program, are now on test in the
European Common Market. We
have many new hybrids on test in
Europe this year. Of more im-
portance is the fact that, as of
April 1st., we have one Early
Hybrid accepted and registered
for sale in the European Common
Market,"
This new Hybrid was named
"Alex" and we are now
producing it for export. This
afternoon, you will be shown 1200
new hybrids under our own
testing program. We also have
117 hybrids on test across
Canada, We are testing in every
province."
' "In January of this year, we
decided to enlarge our private
plant breeding enterprise to
include barley, soybeans, winter
wheat, oats and also some
novelty cereal or protein crops.
We have hired two additional
Plant Breeders to assist George
Jones in both of these plant
breeding programs, You will be
seeing part of this program here
today.
"Our plant breeding and
consulting services and our
export testing program may
dictate the forming of a new arm
of the Company in the near
future. Our Research and
Development program now
utilizes the services of nine
people,"

Potter urges
immunization
Health Minister Dr. Richard T.
Potter today urged Ontario
parents to be sure their children
are adequately immunized
before they go to school in the
fall.
A Ministry study, in 37 of
Ontario's 43 health units,
revealed that one in every five
children entering school in
September 1972 had less than
adequate immunization against
preventable diseases. Of the
128,884 children in the study,
99,881 were kindergarten
children, representing 79 percent
of all children at that school level
in the province.
About 75 percent of those
studied had ,been immunized
against diphtheria, pertussis
(whooping cough), tetanus and
polio. Smallpox vaccine had been
given to 65.5 percent of the
children.
Only 58 percent — in some
areas, less than 30 percent — of
the pre-schoolers had been
vaccinated against measles. Less
than 20 percent of the 'children
studied had received rubella
(German measles) vaccine.
"With this rate of immunization,
outbreaks of measles are
inevitable," Dr. Potter said,
Diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus
and polio immunization — which
can be given in a single
inoculation — should be com-
pleted by the time a child is six
months old, A reinforcing dose
should follow a year later.
Measles and rubella vaccinations
should be given at 12 months of
age or shortly after.
"Every child should have
protection against these
preventable diseases as early in
life as possible," said Dr. Potter.
"It appears from the data we've
collected that many parents view
the school as the primary source
of immunization. This is a cause
for concern because too many of
our children pass through their
pre-school years vulnerable to
some or all of these preventable
diseases,"
Parents can have their children
immunized by their family doctor
or at their local health unit.

Effective August 1, 1973, milk
for fluid creams, cottage cheese
and yoghurt was raised 24c per
hundredweight from $5.30 to
$5.54. Milk for ice cream mixes,
confectionery products, pud-
dings, soups, and sterilized infant
foods was also raised 24 cents per
hundredweight from $5.15 to
$5.39. Milk for butter, casein,
condensed and evaporated milk,
skim-reilk powder, whole milk
powder and new products was
raised 16 cents per hun-
dredweight from $5.00 to $5.16 per
hundredweight. Prices as quoted
are for milk delivered in bulk.
Effective August 16, 1973 milk
going into the manufacture of
specialty cheese will be raised 26
cents, from $5.30 per hun-
dredweight to $5.56. No increases
have been made for milk for
brick and Colby type cheeses and
cheddar cheese, but it is an-
ticipated that increased for milk
going into these products will be
announced in September.
In making the announcement of
increases, George R.
McLaughlin, Chairman of the
Ontario Milk Marketing Board,
pointed out that monies received
for the sale of milk by the Board
are pooled.
"The pool price increase to
dairy farmers," he said, "could
mean about 13 cents per hun-
dredweight of milk based on past
experience in the utlization ',of
milk for manufacturing purposes.
The pool price in June for
Southern Ontario was $5.08 per
hundredweight."
This action by the Board
follows the recent announcement
by the Federal Minister of
Agriculture of a product support
increase of 3 cents per pound of
skim-milk powder. Other
changes announced included a
special payment of 56 cents per
hundredweight on milk produced
within Market-Sharing Quota,
together with a 20 cent per
hundredweight reduction in a
levy collected from dairy far-
mers to offset costs of selling
powdered milk in export
markets.
"This will mean," Mr.
McLaughlin said, "that with the
Board's pool price increase of
about 13 cents, the Federal in-
crease of 56 cents and the 20 cents
levy reduction, producers of milk
for manufacturing purposes in
the Province will be getting a
total increase of approximately
89 cents per hundredweight. The
3 cents a pound increase for skim
milk powder was the basis for
calculating the Board's price
increases."
This move by the Federal
Government and the Board was
taken because of a wet spring
that hurt dairy farmers and the
unusually high cost of grain and
protein used to feed cows.
"It is hoped," Mr. McLaughlin
said, "that these increases will
stop a dangerous downward
trend which the Province is
experiencing in the production of
milk for manufactured
'products."
The Federal Government
stressed in its announcement of
the increases that they have been
implemented to assist dairy
farmers in meeting the ex-
traordinary costs they are
currently facing,
Five promising National

Mr. and Mrs. William Miller
were pleasantly surprised
Wednesday when their neigh-
bours west of Cromarty gathered
at their home for a farewell
party.
A short program was presented
with musical numbers being
played by Nelson Howe, Isabel
Kerslake and Eldon Allen, Betty
Anne Miller did two • step-dance
numbers and readings were
given by Lillian Douglas, Gladys
Allen and Ruth Laing.
Margaret Laing played two
accordion solos. Following the
program, Mr. and Mrs. Miller
were presented with a set of
snack tables and a floral table
centre.
The Millers will leave shortly
for their new home in the Myers
apartments in Mitehell and their
grandson, Ronald Miller, will
reside on the farm following his
marriage later in August.
fitness but never before has a pro
club sent a player to a hockey
school specifically for instruction
in his hockey skills,"
Gary Darling, head scout for
the Boston Bruins who sent four
players indicated he feels the
weeks instruction should help the
juniors to have a better op-
portunity during the Bruins
training camp,
Each of these players we feel
can benefit from the type of in-
struction offered at the Huron
School," said Darling, "Their
program will stress skating and
will also include instruction in
areas of weakness as analyzed by
our scouting staff and the Huron
instructors."
Bill Mahoney, hockey coach at
McMaster University and an
instructor at the school revealed
that the plans for the speeial

Soccer club
gets victory
The Exeter Centennials soccer
club went on a scoring spree
Sunday to blank Taxandria "A"
by a score of 7-0 in a regularly
scheduled Ausable league soccer
contest,
The Centennials will travel to
Arkona Sunday afternoon for a
6,30 p,m. meeting with the
Taxandria "B" club.
Tony Hemmings led the
Centennials scoring parade with
a hat trick performance. Single
goals were booted by Steve
Hemmings, John Muller, Bill
Smits and Al Hem,
presented at the N,II.L,'s Mon-
treal meetings in June.
At that time a number of teams
were interested in the program
and both the Boston Bruins and
the St, Louis Blues decided to
send players this year. "We are
very proud that our program was
accepted," stated Mahoney.
If successful the Huron
program could develop into a
completely new dimension in
professional hockey education.
At present the crowded schedule
of games and travel at the pro
level prevent a player from
receiving a great deal of teaching
during the season.
The type of intensified training
that these players will receive at
Huron could provide the answer
for teams who are desperately in
need of junior players capable of
stepping into the pros in their
first year out of junior hockey.
