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," with ivir. & Mrs. MacLeod Mills.

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 Hockey league youngsters are 'this week attending special classes at the Huron Hockey school at the Randall arena at Huron Park. The young men, all graduates of junior hockey were draft choices of NHL clubs and have signed contracts for the coming season. They are Steve Langdon of the London Knights, Doug Gibson of the Peterborough Fetes, John Pierre Bourgoyne of Shawinigan falls and John Wensink and Al Sims of Cornwall. Langdon, Gibson, Sims and Bourgoyne are the property of the Boston Bruins while Wensink goes to the St. Louis Blues. Steve Langdon was a member of the 1971-72 Markham Waxers, OHA Junior "B" champions and was a team-mate of Randy Preszcator of Exeter. Brian Gilmour, a director of the Huron School stated that, "this is an entirely new concept in pro hockey instruction. In the past few years a few players have received instruction in physical Pair of bowlers win at Goderich A pair of Exeter bowlers brought home third prize from a Civic holiday mixed doubles lawn bowling tournament held in Goderich.

Couple honored by neighbours By MRS. ROBERT LAING CROMARTY 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 draftee program were first 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.
