The O.V.C. dates back to July, 1862. when a private charter was granted to Prof. Andrew Smith to establish a Veterinary College in Toronto, in the Province of Canada West. This date was, of course, prior to Confederation in 1867 AVAILABLE AT COUNTRY CORNER MT. CARMEL — 237-3456 OPEN TILL 10 P.M. We invite you to attend a COMBINE SERVICE SCHOOL at VINCENT FARM EQUIPMENT Seaforth Tues., July 13 7:05 p.m. sharp In 1908 the Veterinary College was purchased by the Province of Ontario and placed under the direction of the Ontario. Depart- ment of Agriculture. The College formed a part of the University of Toronto for degree granting purposes. In 1922 the Veterinary College was moved to the same area in Guelph where the O.A.C. and Macdonald Institute were located — virtually on the same campus. These three original Colleges were formed into the Federated Colleges of the On- tario Department of Agriculture in June 1962. and subsequently, when the University of Guelph was founded in May, 1964, the O.V.C. became one of the Colleges comprising one of the fastest growing and most pop- ular Universities in Ontario. Until 1972 the enrolment at O.V,C. was limited to 80 in each class. With the increasing de- mand for Graduate Veterinarians to take care of Canada's rapidly expanding livestock and poultry population, as well as pets, a scarcity of veterinarians appeared obvious unless increased enrolment could be achieved. However to accommodate the 50( increased, up to 120, enrol- ment proposed, required ad- ditional teaching and research space. Even in those days it was difficult to get building funds for university buildings, particularly if such funds were extra to already approved funds for long planned facilities on Guelph and other campuses. But with only one other English speaking Veterinary College in Canada, located at Saskatoon, and the demand for veterinarians being so great, as Minister of Agriculture and Food for Ontario I threw the total sup- port of the OMAF behind the proposal for increased facilities in petit'oning my colleague, the Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities, and the Federal Minister of Agriculture at Ot- tawa. President, Dr. Wm. Winegard, and Dean Howell, of O.V.C., succeeded in convincing the Board of Governors of the University of Guelph of the wisdom of the proposed expan- sion. The combined efforts of all concerned resulted in proceeding to build even though all the necessary funds were not finaliz- ed nor readily available when construction commenced. Even with no real assurance of classroom facilities being available an additional 40 students were accepted in the hope that by the time they re- quired the extra facilities they would be in place. This demonstration in faith paid off with the facilities being provided by joint funding of the Provincial and Federal Governments on a 50 - 50 basis. The O.V.C. is recognized as one of the finest institutions of its kind to be found in North America today. Its graduates are scattered far and wide, but wherever, are having a major impact in care and improved health of livestock and poultry. Mr. Wm. Lasby, Chairman of the Board of Governors and retired Vice-President of Canada Packers, in expressing his ap- preciation to the Hon. Eugene Whelan, Federal Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. Wm. New- man, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, and to the Hon. Dr. Harry Parrott, Ontario Minister of Colleges and Univer- sities stated, "In 1975 the cash farm receipts from livestock, dairy and poultry products in Canada was 49% of the total. Good continued health in our animal herds and poultry flocks is one of the essentials in keeping production costs down and hence improving the viability of our livestock industry. The increased career oppor- tunities that will be realized in this facility and the great con- tribution to Canada's well-being from these Veterinarian Doctors in accomplishing their careers, will, I am confident, fully justify the decision and follow through processes, that brought this building and equipment to the University of Guelph campus." The O.V.C. is there to be used. Any livestock or poultry producer, or any horse or pet owner, through their local Veterinarian, should avail themselves of the diagnostic and research facilities and expertise of the College. It seems that some new virus or disease is con- stantly cropping up to add con- cern and frustration, to say nothing of severe financial losses, to livestock and poultry owners. Continuing research in animal and poultry disease control is ab- solutely essential. And the application, of the findings of such research in everyday far- ming practices is even more im- portant. There isn't much use spending scarce research dollars and valuable time finding answers to problems unless livestock and poultry owners are ready and willing to use the Close to 200 Huron County 4-H members took part in the annual livestock and field crops judging competition in Seaforth, Wed- nesday. The classes which the com- petitors had to judge included: Arabian horses, dairy and beef cattle, swine, sheep, corn and barley seed, mixed hay and one identification class. Sharon Colclough topped the senior competition with 718 out of a possible 800 points. The Clinton area girl was followed by Barb Miller, RR 3 Exeter, and Harry Franken, RR 2 Auburn, who tied for second with 714 points. The intermediate winner was Oscar Meier, RR 4 Brussels, Behind him were Jean Siertsema and Sandy Marshall, both of RR 3 Blyi h. The 57 junior competitors were headed by Chris Meier, RR 4 Brussels, with Grace Alton, RR 2 Lucknow, secon. The novice class drew 54 competitors. Dianne Oldfield, RR 4 Seaforth, was tbe wines; followed in second place by Margaret Pym, RR 1 Centralia. Tom Coates, RR 1 Centralia, headed the pre 4-H class with 627 points, followed by Lisa Thomp- son, RR 5 Wingham. Winners of special trophies and awards were as follows: Blatchford Feeds Limited Trophy - highest score in entire Competition. Won by: Oscar Meier, RR 4, Brussels. Runners Up: Jean Siertsema, RR 3, Blyth; Sandy Marshall, RR 3, Blyth. Canadian National Exhibition Shield - high Novice Judge.

The Ontario Cattlemen's Association are to be con- gratulated for increasing their grant from $5,000 to $15,000 for beef cattle disease control research. By this action the Association has shown initiative other Ontario commodity groups might well adopt. In these days of severe budget constraints at Government level, research dollars are being curtailed. It may well be an. ill-advised restraint considering how the future of mankind is dependent on new research results in both animal and crop science. It may well be more useful to present and future generations to have less regulatory services provided by Government at every level, and using the dollars saved in es- sential research for the benefit of both producers and consumers alike. The South Huron Multi-Crop Club members met on June 15 and toured the Fertilizer Plant at Exeter. Jack Bern, of the Exeter District Co-op took the members on a educational and interesting tour through the plant. After the tour the group went to the home of Rob and Ron Stewart where Bill Brock gave a quiz, Next meeting will be on `pesticides' with Rob Stewart and Paul Pavkeje as junior leaders, Pym, RR 1, Centralia.
