worm burden, cattle are likely to gain
more weight faster and you'll gain more

Why lose weight to worms when
you can profit at the market with
Tramisol? Ask your dealer about
Tramisol. He'll tell you it pays off --
because it works.
Beef cattle have worms. You can't
see them but there can be up to nine
types of worms eating away at your
cattle from the inside, preventing your
cattle from gaining valuable pounds.
And, at today's prices, you'll pay dearly
for those lost pounds later.
Tramisol is Canada's most popular

Adrain Bayley told county council,
September 29 that his agency believes
display advertising in national or inter-
national publications is an ,expensive way to
promote the county and even though the
county receives many enquiries, few are
converted into sales.
The county has been advertising in such
publications in the past in an attempt to
attract industry to Huron and create more
jobs.
Promotional ideas presented by Mr.
Bayley include an eight-page tabloid news-
, paper to stimulate interest in Huron County
as a good place to locate a business or light
industry. The paper would also promote the
attractivelness of Huron as a home and
'vacation site stressing •e qualityth of life •
here.
This "Quality of Life" good people, good
places theme is the main one to stress in this
type of publication said Mr. Bayley. It' will
not however, be accomplished with statisti-
cal lists, but rather a casual, conversational
but not gossipy,, editorial style. , People
already living in the county would be
Another theme Mr. Bayley suggested the
tabloid should develop is Huron County as a
community rather than" a collection of self-
, interested communities. He explained that
this does .not mean each incorporated town ,
or village would, be ignored, but the overall
impact, should be one of co-operation rather
•than competition between areas. Someone
, The tabloid would also give some
consideration to replies from interested
' businessmen. This should direct responses '
to county officials who 'can contact other
municipalities which have the potential to
'serve the proposed business.
STANDARD ADS
Mr. Bayley also recommended the
county adopt a standard advertisement..
format for all advertising, whether it be
,tourism ,or' for county staff. In addition he
suggested some press release head 'paper
should be made available and a series of
press releases sent Out throughout the year
to the various travel, magazines and, overseas
trade publications.
He alsO suggested a placemat be produced

Mr. Bayley recommended the county health unit building
