Guides to take West Wawanosh pins to Mexico
At their meeting of April 4, West
Wawanosh Councillors unanimous
ly agreed they have no objection to
the proposed amalgamation of the
Lucknow Arena Board and the
Joint Recreation Committee pro
vided that the percentages now
being paid for the maintenance and
operation of the Arena do not
change. Clerk Joan Armstrong was
directed to write George Gibson,
Chairman of the Lucknow Arena
Board stating this condition.
A. J. Sherwood attended the
meeting to express his opinion
that he should have been chosen as
one representative to act on the
Zoning By-law Committee for Dun
gannon. Also, Mr. Sherwood re
quested action from the road
superintendent to improve parking
at the Senior Citizes’ Centre in
Dungannon. The parking facilities
are in need of levelling and gravel
application.
It was decided that a grant of
$100 will be paid to Clinton Public
Hospital in 1989.
Building permits were issued to

of a portable office at John J.
Shetler Lumber and to Leila Shetler

Mail box spree
brings conditional
discharge
A Dungannon-area man who
took part in an early-morning spree
that saw an East Wawanosh mail
box stolen and abandoned, receiv
ed a conditional discharge in
Provincial Court in Wingham
Wednesday.
William J. Ireland, of RR 1,
Dungannon pleaded guilty to the
charge of stealing the mailbox of
Jerry McDonnell, RR 3, Blyth.
Crown Attorney Alan Mill told the
court that Mr. Ireland and two
other men had stopped at the
McConnell mailbox at 3 a.m. on
Feb. 26 and begun kicking and
striking the mailbox until it fell
over. The box was loaded into the
car and the car drove away. Later
the mail box was found discarded
in a ditch.
Earlier Dwight Hallahan and
Paul Hallahan had pleaded guilty
to the same charge and been fined
$250 each.
But duty counsel John Schenk
pointed out to Judge R. G. E.
Hunter that Mr. Ireland had sent a
letter of apology to Mr. McDonnell
and the men had made restitution.
He said that Mr. Ireland was now
working in a grocery store and was
due for a promotion which would
require him to handle money which
in turn would require him to be
bonded. It would be difficult for
him to be bonded if he had a
criminal record. In addition he
hoped to become a business ac
countant and would be hurt by a
record.
Judge Hunter agreed with the
argument sentencing Mr. Ireland
to nine months on probation and 75
hours of community work, warning
him that if he broke the terms of his
probation or failed to carry out the
community work he would have the
charges reinstated.

Gervais of Blyth for the Guides to

mately 10,000 cubic yards; and
$1.60 for stockpiling be accepted.
Council concurred.
An offer from Lloyd Jacklin for
the acquisition of the 1978 Ford 900
and plow equipment was accepted
by Council. In exchange Mr. Jack
lin will stockpile, during the off
season, 4500 cubic yards of crushed
gravel.
It was agreed that the road
accounts totalling $9,769.55 and
the general accounts totalling
$7,979.26 will be paid. The meeting

Power Fencing will help improve
your pastures and profit
Economical fencing
Power fencing costs are only one quarter to one third
those of non-electrified fencing, which does, however,
have its place. Where the latter has deteriorated, one or
two offset wires can be attached, and the fence will
again become effective and last for many more years.
Fifty years
development
Since 1938 Gallagher have been developing and
promoting the efficient use of equipment for improving
pasture utilisation. This brochure sets out the Gallagher
products now available, and how best to use them.
Cost reduction
Most farm costs are rapidly increasing, but, thanks to
high power electric fence energizers, and modern power
fence designs, the cost of permanent fencing is not. In
most cases, the profitability of animal farming is
dropping. An exception to this is where grazing
management is being intensified, either by the use of
controlled grazing with temporary fencing, allowing
animals to be given fresh pastures or crops daily, or by
the use of permanent subdivision (cross fencing) into as
nriany as one hundred paddocks.
Controlled grazing improves pastures, and allows up to
twice as many animals to be grazed on the same area
as uncontrolled grazing.
Insultimber High Power
Insultimber is a selected hardwood grown in certain
areas of Australia. It is so hard, dense and durable that it
does not absorb water or conduct electricity, and does
not need to be treated.
The ease and speed of erecting Insultimber power
fencing, and its durability, have made it the most
popular form of power fencing in New Zealand and
many other countries.
How many paddocks?
A frequent question farmers ask before they start
intensive subdivision is, “What size paddocks should I
aim for?’’
It is not the size of the paddocks that counts, it is the
number of paddocks which is important. At least thirty
should be aimed for per herd, flock, or group of grazing
animals.
The most successful and profitable sheep, beef and
dairy farmers have 40 or more paddocks. These are
sometimes divided further with temporary power
fencing for strip grazing.
Power Fencing
Gallagher high power, solid state, low impedance
energizers enable long distances of permanent power
fencing subject to vegetation challenge, to be electrified
for the control of domestic, feral, and wild animals. High
power security fencing is also being used successfully.
