Ken Pleger of St. Clair Shores has a metal detection unit which cost him about $300. Pleger waves a wand over the sand, and his machine makes a loud beeping noise whenever it detects a piece of metal, Usually hp finds coins, but some days he has found valuable jewellery. His machine features a discriminatory dial, He can set it to detect pop bottle By STAN PAQUETTE Associate Agr. Rep Huron County Can you wean a 95 percent calf crop? Jim Love of R.R. 3 Parkhill did just that in 1978. He owns a Hereford herd; breeding first calf heifers to Aberdeen Angus. Cows are bred back to Angus. I questioned Jim as to how he did it. He said, "You have to be a dedicated cow-calf man." He and his son alternate and regularly check the heifers and cows due to calve. Every four hours at night and every two hours during the day is their schedule. Other practices Jim follows are: An ADE injection four to six weeks prior to calving. ADE injectable, plus Vitamin E and selenium to the newborn calf. Navel treatment with tincture of iodine, tops, but unfortunately he cannot set it to reject pop can pull tabs or he misses dimes, too, Pleger has a set of ear- phones that he wears on days when the water is rough, and he has trouble hearing the beeps made by his detectoro- ver the sound of the waves. He has also made his own shovel and sifter so that he can quickly scoop up sand and see his find. "Some guys go fishing, this is my hobby," Pleger says. The beach is particularly busy with hobbyists and their metal detectors early on Monday mornings after a crowded weekend. Ear tagging. Implants with Ralgro at day old. Records treatment given. Makes notes of unusual calving problems. Early calves are born inside or in a dry lot near the buildings. Later ones are born on grass. Calf hutches protect the young calves on cool evenings. Jim's 1978 weaning weights were not ex- ceptional. He plans to use a Charolais or Simmental bull on his cows this season. By bringing in exotic blood, he feels the cross will give him heavier weaning weights. It's important to be ready for calving as Jim is. The big secret is to be a D.C.C.M., i.e. dedicated cow-calf man, as he said, plus T.L.C., i.e. tender loving care. You can afford to be more dedicated. Your reward will be more calves weaned this fall, If you want to see some funny stuff, catch The Owl and The Pussycat at Huron Country Playhouse. The lines are funny and the ac- ting is funny. In fact, if there's anything wrong with this play it's that it's too funny, and doesn't get serious in the places it should. Gloria Gifford is excellent as Doris, the part-time hooker, Ms. Gifford came to Grand Bend from Los Angeles, She recently starred with Richard Pryor in Califorhia Suite. Sometimes her gestures and voice seems to be a cross between Rhoda Morganstern and Barbra Striesand, but for the most part she is in control of the flighty Doris, She makes good use of her long, red fingernails, and wears the bright clothes very well. Tim Henry adds to the comedy with his crazy facial expressions; rolling and widening his eyes, and twitching his eyebrows. Both Henry and Ms. Gifford seem to do best with the funny lines, The humour in the play is created when Felix who thinks he's a real intellectual decides he must educate Doris who says she's a model and part-time prostitute. Doris decides that Felix could use a little education in her line, Each of them turns the other's world upside down. With Mary Alderson What might be considered X-rated, is redeemed by the humour in the play. Lines such as "I always feel so selfish sleeping alone in a double bed when there are people in China sleeping on the ground," evoked laughter from the audience, Director Aileen Taylor- Smith seemed to want The Owl and the Pussycat to be mainly a comedy. Unfor- tunately, what should have been a serious, tender moment brought laughs from the audience, Felix reduces Doris to nothing better than a dog, and Doris, the girl who just a few minute before was bragging about her pride, lets him do it. When Felix realizes that she'll do anything to get his love, he runs and puts his arms around her. This scene should have been heart- wrenching, but instead the audience was laughing at Doris's puppy-like actions, The tenderness of the scene failed to come through. Once again the stage crew has come up with an ex- cellent set. I'm sure many members of the audience would recognize Felix's apartment as one of their first homes, The play ended effectively- -Felix admits to himself and to Doris that he's not a writer but a book store clerk, and Doris sees herself as not a model, but a receptionist.
