Times-Advocate, November 17, 1977 Page...a ), Announce change in brucellosis plan Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan has announced changes in Canada's brucellosis program that will further the effort to eradicate the disease, Most of the changes are ex- pected to take effect early next year, although some are being made immediately. These in- clude placing greater emphasis on brucellosis research by Agriculture Canada's Health of Animals Branch, the appoint- ment of a planning officer to co- ordinate all anti-brucellosis ac- tivities and An information of- ficer td provide cattlemen and dairy producers with up-to-date information. The changes expected to be im- plemented early in 1978 are: — The division of Canada into separate regions, to be described as brucellosis-free, brucellosis low-incidence, and other; — placing gontrols on the move- ment of cattle between all regions; — establishment of a new policy for brucellosis-free listed herds; — mandatory negative testing for all cattle over six months of age — except those from brucellosis-free regions, brucellosis-free listed herds, official vaccinates less than 18 months old, steers and spayed heifers — within 60 days immediately before they enter shows or exhibitions; — an on- farm test requirement for cer- tain age groups of cattle before movement off the farm in On- tario and Quebec. "Our beef producers and dairy farmers are fortunate that their herds are among the healthiest in the world," Mr. Whelan said, "Brucellosis is . a problem dis- ease. We feel that with these tighter regulations and the co- operation of farmers, we can beat it." The changes stem from meetings on brucellosis held in Winnipeg last June between Health of Animals Branch of- ficials, representatives of the beef and dairy industry, provin- cial veterinarians and members of the Canadian Veterinary- Medical Association. Recommendations for the changes were made by a sub- committee formed at the meeting and staffed by Health of Animals Branch disease experts. "Agreement in principle was reached last month by represen- tatives of the groups who attend- ed the Winnipeg meeting and by provincial deputy ministers of agriculture who met in Ottawa last week," Mr. Whelan said. 'Arrangements, concerning, the ncreased- dhiphasiS on' research and the new staff members were fully agreed to and have been im- plemented. Discussion on the five major changes is continuing but I am confident they will be in place early next year." Brucellosis, a bacterial con- tagious disease that causes abor- tions in cows, now is controlled in Canada by on-going herd testing and screening programs operated by Agriculture Canada. Cattle found to carry the disease are ordered destroyed and the farmer compensated. Current regulations include testing of cattle at auction markets, keeping herds under quarantine until they have pass- ed two negative tests, requiring a negative herd test 60 days before a farm auction, licensing of livestock dealers who hold cat- tle on theirpremises and requir- District man is appointed Agriculture and Food Minister Bill Newman has announced the reappointment of six members of the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario and the ap- pointment of one new member.

Hydro rates will be up The 800,000 customers served by the Ontario Hydro rural retail system will be paying an average of 5.7 per cent more for electrici- ty in 1978. Hydro Chairman Robert Taylor said that the increase necessary to cover Hydro's costs next year would have been 9,8 per cent had it not been for extra revenue created by better than expected operating results in 1977, Almost half of the improve- ment in the 1977 financial posi- tion resulted from a substantial increase in export power sales to the United States and reduced cost of administration, operation and maintenance. "This extra revenue — now es- timated at $108 million — will be allocated among the 352 municipal utilities, Ontario Hydro's direct industrial customers, and , the rural retail system. Under the anti-inflation guidelines established for Hydro by the provincial government, this amount must be returned to the customers," Mr. Taylor said. The rural retail systems share is currently estimated at ap- proximately $17.8 million. The effect of the increase on individual customers will vary depending on their consumption and classification. For example, a typical residential customer's monthly bill of $35 will increase by approximately $1.75. Details of the rate increase will be mailed to all rural customers. All bills issued after Jan. 1 will be pro-rated. 1977 rates will app- ly from the last meter reading this year to Dec, 31. After that, the newly announced 1978 rates will apply. The increase reflects higher costs to Ontario Hydro of providing service. Eskimo scene features seals " The .1977 Christmas Seals are reprochztions of two paintings, both Eskimo scenes, by the late Dr. Paul Mari of Vancouver, British Columbia. Dr. Mari who worked in the British Columbia Division of Tuberculosis Control in Vancouver, died May 25 of cancer. He was 57. The two Eskimo scenes are family groupings etched against a magnificent northern sky, backgrounded by the midnight sun. Each Seal bears the red double-barred cross of the Christmas Seal Organization, and the words 'Canada 1977.' It is symbolic that Dr. Mari, who worked with tuberculosis patients all his life should provide the paintings from which the Christmas Seals are reproduced, as the funds from Christmas Seals go to fight tuberculosis and other lung dis- eases. Dr. Mari was born in Russia and educated in China where he attended medical school at the University of Hong Kong and the University of Shanghai. He cared for tuberculosis patients in China, was employed by the United Nations in 1949, and became Chief of Medical Ser- vices at the Shanghai Clinic in 1950, He came to Canada in 1951, first to Clearwater Lake Indian Hospital, Manitoba for a few months then to the Manitoba Sanatorium at Ninette as a medical officer. He joined the staff of the Central TB Clinic in Winnipeg in 1957 and remained there until 1967 when he went to British Columbia.
