It is understood that the local organization is one of the first to react to the Provincial Government’s and the Ontario Association’s emphasis in these areas. President, Bob Southcott, stated that this new em- phasis in no way would lessen its concern for the services the Association now provides for the han­ dicapped. It was felt, he said, that these facilities were being operated by active committees and competent staff. As a result, the Board of the Association is now able to turn its attention to these new priorities. In doing so, the Association accepted the recommendations of a Special Committee set up in • FERTILIZER KIRKTON 229-6439KIRKTON 229-6439 • LIVESTOCK • GRAIN • FARM SUPPLIES United Church message SPOOKS AT USBORNE — Students at Usborne Central School took part in a Joseph Zsabo, Becky Seldon, Shelley Horne and Shelly Miller.

The Committee, during the past few months, has evaluated the persons in the areas of Public Health, Education, Public Awareness and Parental contact. In its Statement of Philosophy, the Committee said that as much as this Association is dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of thehandicapped people in our homes and our communities, they believe that those conditions which are known to produce mental Retar­ dation should be eliminated or corrected. For those children who are unavoidably damaged, they pledged to provide early and quality intervention to minimize the handicap as much as possible. Mrs. Wright said that Mental Retardation can be caused by any condition which interferes with the child’s development before birth, during birth or in the early childhood years. The medical experts now say that a very significant number of cases are now preventable. In its report, the Prevention Committee recommended the hiring of a full time person with a health care and community service background. Reports of the various Committee were given to the members. Mrs. Joan Smith reported the progress of the Nursery since its transfer to Dash­ wood. Eleanor Scott reported on the Huron Hope School renovations at the J. A. McCurdy School at Huron Park. The Executive Director Don Campbell highlighted the two residences in Exeter, and the work being done to introduce an Apartment- Living programme. Roland McCaffrey reported that 12 new clients had been added to ARC in a Life Skills programme recently introduced. This would bring the total to 62. McCaffrey also stated that a large Warehouse had been purchased, through the generosity of Dashwood Industries, and that the new Bakeshop had just opened for business. The film ‘Exploding the Myth’, produced by the Ontario Association for the Mentally Retarded, highlighted some of the occurrences which have been going on in this area through the de­ institutionalization process. Many persons have returned from Institutions and resettled in communities. The film was very thought­ provoking because it showed that opportunities which are now available to the han­ dicapped promote additional skill development. Higher skill development leads to higher employment, and, thereby, more benefits are available to the handicapped f CORN 1 GROWERS MORLEY FARMS Now Receiving New Crop Corn BUYING, SELLING & STORING CORN for AREA FARMERS Receiving Corn For Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd.

Morden’s sermon was “Time, Tyrant or Servant?” “Someone once said”, WE’RE DEALING ON JOHN DEERE SLEDS! quoted the minister: “Best confessions of faith are not our creeds, but our datebooks. Time is a tyrant, work done willingly is ser­ vice but work done lovingly is a sacrament. How do you make use of your time, is it your tyrant or your ser­ vant?” Michael Darcy, son of Mr. & Mrs. Terry Johnson and Dwane Adam, son of Mr. & Mrs. Terry Mills, received the sacrament of baptism at this service.

Farmers should treat warbles by December Ontario dairymen should launch campaigns against warbles before December 1. “Treating dairy cattle for warbles in October or November is more than 90 percent effective,” says Harold Clapp, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food dairy cattle specialist. It prevents stress, damage to meat gnd hide, and milk loss caused by gadding. “The warble fly’s life cy- clq can be broken now. This insect can’t be controlled in the summer when it’s ' in flight.” Several insecticides are available for warble treat­ ment. Grubex, Co-op Warble Killer, Neguvon, and Spot­ ton are systemics, which penetrate the animal’s skin, and are carried by the bloodstream throughout the body. “Treat young cattle accor­ ding to weight,” suggests Mr. Clapp. “Never treat lac­ tating cows or cows within ten day of freshening, because the bloodstream would contain the systemic, and the milk would be con­ taminated.” Apply an adequate dosage, according to the manufac­ turer’s directions. An insuf­ ficient application kills the warble grubs too slowly, causing a buildup of toxins. Stiffness and paralysis may result. If this happens, keep the animal moving, and con­ sult a veterinarian. Mr. Clapp suggests treating cattle late in the day,.so they can be observed the next morning for possi­ ble side effects. Treatment should be avoided from December to March. The grubs may have migrated to the spinal column, and treatment may cause swelling or paralysis. Besides -killing warble grubs, systemics provide ex­ cellent lice control. The first treatment kills all feeding lice, but unhatched eggs re­ main. A second treatment, three weeks later, kills the remaining lice. Warble control was promoted widely last year by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and industry officials. Last year, warble infestation in On­ tario cattle declined from 33 to 10 percent, according to the Meat Packers’ Council of Canada. To eliminate losses from this pest, dairymen must continue warble control. Ministry of Agriculture and Food personnel plan warble meetings across Ontario this fall.
