Tom Cunningham
deputy -reeve
candidate, Hullett
ant a farmer who was
born arid raised in Hullett
Township. I am still
residing on the farm
which my great -great-
grandfather purchased
from the crown.
I arta married to the
former a Grigg and
have four daughters and

Roger, Julie, and Leona

anitrunning for the
position' OfDePiity-ReeVe
of Hullett Township
because of an interest in
local politics and the wish
to serve the people of the
township.
There are many things
I feel are of importance in
the township, one of
these being the new
township shed which is
being constructed at the
present. I would ap-
preciate the honour of
being a part of the council
which builds the shed.
Another need of the
township in my opinion is
a township plan. We are
now under the county
plan and there are many
things in it which I do not
necessarily feel are good
for our township - one
example being the
present severance
regulations. There are
many parcels of land in
the township which are
naturally severed by
ditches, creeks etc.
These are too small to
farm economically with
our present machinery
and as long as building on
them will not present a
problem • to existing
Area rec conference

Late Huron Zone of the
Ontario Municipal

conference held October
28, in Goderich
The conference was
chaired by President,
Jack Bird of Owen Sound.
Jack: • Riddell,
provincial member of
parliament, brought
greetings from. the
Ontario government and
Mayor Shewfelt
welcoined delegates to
Goderich. Jim Chalmers
of •Welland spoke on
behalf of O.M.R.A.
K. W. Robinson,
R,D..M,.'R. (F) , of
Peterborough presented
the keynote address on
"Who Does ' What" in
recreation stressing that
bigger is not always
better _arid the need for
fat information and
well organized .business
procedures. The Success
of a recreation com-
mittee, he said, is
dependent. . on • the
decisions made by that
coinmittee and how they
are carried out.
Four participant
workshops covered topics
of: who does what in the
directed community; the
real role of the non -
directed recreation
committee; municipal
recreation and the arts;
and sharing the cost - the
-government and you.
Resource people for the
workshops included Dave
Wenger and Elmer Wick
of Mount Forest, Gord
McGarvey of Kincardine,
Mike Dymond of
Goderich, Clair Fowler

livestock operation, they
should be severed and
built on rather than
growing up in weeds.
Another problem is
land erosion. With proper
land management, such
.as seeding the side of our
ditches and leaving a few
feet of grass on either
side might save money in
having to clean out these
ditches so often.
I have had two years'
experience on the
township council and two
years' experience on the
old Hullett Township
School Board. I have
served on the Blyth Fire
Board, Blyth Arena
Board, Hullett
Recreation and Com-
munity Centre Board,
and Auburn Hall Board. I
am past president of
Huron County Junior
Farmers, and Huron
County Soil and Crop
Improvement
Association.
As a farmer I am in-
terested in many of the
problems pertaining to
agriculture.
I would appreciate the
opportunity to represent
Hullett Township at
County Council and I feel
I could represent the
interests of Hullett. I
have enjoyed the two
years as a councillor and
hope the people of Hullett
will support me at the poll
on November 13.
Ron Samways
Council candidate
Goderich Twp.
My name is Ron
Samways, and I'm
married with two teen-
age sons. .My sons
received their education
at Holmesville Public
.School and are now at-
tending Central Huron
Secondary School in
Clinton.
Since 1969 I have
operated a business (Golf
Course) in Goderich
Township. Taxes on this
business started at
$485.20 in 1969, and have
spiralled to $2,409.38.
Taxes are soaring in our
area because of so many
highly paid employees at
all levels of Government
who are plafinirig—ul' to4
death. We do not have the.0
freedom - to do with our
own land what we wish,,
or what would be suitable
to the , area. Many
changes have been made
in the so-called Official
Plan, without consulting
the property owners who
would Lo0 directly or int
directly affected by
them.
The ratepayers of
Goderich Township are
losing their rights to
make decisions on the use
of their lands and
planning officials are
imposing their ideas and
are very unapproachable
and dictatorial. If they
are allowed to have their
way, there will be no
place for our young
people to work in the area
and Goderich Township
will not progress with the
times.
Let us keep our good
agricultural land intact,
but there are many areas
not suitable to farming on
which to build houses and
some light commercial
enterprises which will
benefit all people now
and in the future.
Our Plan is still a
proposed Secondary Plan
and we should be sure
that it is what the
majority of residents
• want before it becomes
official, The basic rights
of the land -owner have
been eroded and the only
right they have now is to
pay ever increasing
taxes.
With declining school
enrollment and are,
spiralling cost of
education, I feel we
should encourage more
permanent residents to
pay taxes and to keep a
viable school open at
Holmesville. If elected I
will endeavour to work
for the betterment of the
farmer, the businessman
and all residents of
Goderich Township.
A vote for Ron Sam -
ways on Monday,
November 13th is a vote
for . a progressive
Goderich Township.

WHY TAKE CHANCES??
Farmers should treat warblesbyDecember
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 and hide, and milk
loss,caused by gadding.
"The warble fly's life cy-
cle 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 directrons. 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.
