But they can also help drivers, the Ontario Safety League 'points out, by Providing a Clue as to when the light might Change. When "Walk" is on for pedestrians going in Your direction, you've got some more time. But if "Don't Walk" is lit, prepare for art hn- mediate- change. You'll, be safer if you always watch out for any tip off that the green light ahead is "stale", The steering locks on„iew oars are a very effective defence against having your car stolen — proA'ided you don't leave the key in the ignition when it is parked. But as the proportion of theft- proof cars increases, it seems likely that the danger becomes greater for the older cars that do not nave steering locks, The Ont- ario Safety. League reminds driv- ers that .any unattended car should always be left with dOors locked, and keys removed. This is a matter of self interest for the car owner; but it is also a matter of protecting the public, because the risk of a crash is 200 times greater for a stolen car than for a lawfully driven car, Not enough people take advant- age of the mechanical safeguards that are available to keep them from injury in traffic, says the , ;..,y League. The elem- entary, and widely neglected step is to have your car inspected reg- ularly. You specially need the "5" things to be in perfect working order, Things to help you. Start, Steer, Stopi. See and Signal. • These comments by Mr. Roy Tiaeu,sler, Chrysler's Chief En- ineer, Automotive and Safety Security, are quoted by the Ont- ario Safety League: "The onance toot my house will be burned down tomorrow is min- ute. But would not. be happy lo spend even one clay without fire insurance. Similarly, the statistic- al chance of my being involved in a serious traffic accident 'tomor- row is remote - - but just in case it does happen, am carrying the insurance of using the seat belt in my car for every journey, long or short, I could not afford to lose my house in a fire. Even less can I afford to lose my life, or health in a crash." RESULTS. OF ,I3LYTH.

Sojak, Eng- ineering Division, Ridgetown Col- lege of Agricultural Technology. "It may lie several years before We have another season as dry as this; farmers will find these nuis- anCe: .itotrriMPaSsable again Un- less they do something about it When the opportunity arises," he Said. If the farmer has not budgeted for drainage this .year, he might consider installing at least the Main tiles and a few laterals to PIP in.WPfit 141cltli in The Pewit Then if the job is fairly large, it can be finished later. Tiling now will most certainly ensure suf- ficient drainage for access to land to finish the job next year. If only a sr la area is involvcd, it might pay to eomple:e the whole ,job now. Mr. Sojak also points out that summer and early autumn are slow periods for drainage con- tractors, and small jobs can be fitted into their schedules easily. DAIRY FARMERS GET SECOND PART OF THEIR PRICE INCREASE Ontario dairy farmers, who pro- duce milk for the fluid market, will be receiving an additional 20 cuts per hundredweight for that portion of their milk used in that market, effective September J. This increase represents the second part of a two-stage in- crease announced in January of this year and will be less than a three per cent rise in the price the farmer will receive for that portion of his milk used in the fluid trade. The first stage was an increase also of 20 cents per hand redweight and it became effective on February 1, 1971, Fluid milk is that wnich is sold in superMarkets, home delivery and other retail outlets in bottled or packaged form to consumers. In announcing this increase the Province's 3,598 producers in the fluid milk pool, George R. Hc- Laughlin, Chairman of the Board, reviewed the Board's reason be- hind the two-stage increase form- ulated last January. "At that tinie),' he said, "in order to lessen the impact of An increase of approXimately six per cent in a, period of adverse economic conditions and high rin- emploYment, the Board decided to . put into full effect the much need- ed increase to prOducers in two stages of three per cent each." In expl!aining the necessity •of an increase. Or producers, Mr. McLaughlin reiterated a state- mein-, he • made 'last January which stil: holds trite. "Practically "Till workers in other industries in Canada," he said, "have enjoyed increased re- turns for their labour as the cost- of-living haS steadily., risen but the dairy farmer who is self employ- ed has not, until this year, realiz- •ea any increases since September Mr. McLaughlin, pointed out that the composite index of the costs of goods and services used by farmrs from. AugUst 1968 to January 1971 increased_by .8.2 per ce'll'It addition," he said "the milk producer's :labor costs have con- tinued to increase, Prom May, 196S to January 1971, average monthly wages on Ontario farms, including board, have increased by 23.0 per cent and other signi- ficant increases have occurred in interest rates, feed, farm mach- inery, gasoline, oil and grease." As the Ontario Milk Marketing Board has no control or authority over the retail price of milk, it cannot predict what effect this producer increase will have on the consumer milk prices. Retail prices are established by individ- ual processing or dairy plants and stores. On assuming that all milk • i s sold in containers of single quarts, which in effect is not the case, then 20 cents per hundred- weight to the farnier is equivalent of about one-half cents per quart. The Ontario Milk Marketing Board is a farmer, organization Which represents all milk produc-; ers in Ontario and is totally financed by them, Get your exhibits read to show at the Brussels all Fair.
