While not in widespread use throughout the province, horizontal silos have a place, but there are some drawbacks to consider. Waste and spoilage can be greater than with an upright silo, They require more Jabor. Some farmers install a horizontal silo as, a temporary imeasure, others, especially Ws.04100 ... INMO large livestock feeders use it as a, .supplement for silage. storage to the., upright units. Crop specialists with the a Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, suggest that a farmer considering a horizontal silo should be sure there is good drainage. The silo should be set on gravel or • crushed stone. They work well, but require better manage;' ment than upright silos.

Ice safety and rescue operations . A more affluent society and_ more leisure time allows more people to participate in all -foms of ince sports. Inevitably, e °increased exposure produces • more tragic statistics. Rescue operations and a knowledge of • sound techniques are, there-; fore, df the greatest importance When attempting to help others in difficulties due to broken ice you should make.: sure that you do not fall into the hole in the ice too. It has happened! - ., Do not stand up on the ice when trying to rescue a person and, if possible, use equipment to prevent personal contact with the victim. -A plank or a ladder may enable him to res • - cue himself. A rope rescue may also be made using a rope buoy. If a roPe is used, knot the end of it to a piece of wood or a gallon can or to a mitt filled with snow; so that the victim may grasp it easily. In the event of no equip- ment being available, a human. chain may be used when there are several people about. The "chain is formed by the nec- essary number of people lying onthe ice -side by side, • parallel to one another, and using the . hand-to-hand reaching routine. At a given signal the rescue is effected by the whole line wrig- gling back to safety. A completely helpless vic- tim can best be rescued by•' 'someone going out for him with a rope fastened under his arm- pits, the other end being secur- ed on shore. A ring buoy may 'be used in the same way as a rope. The weight of this buoy makes it possible to throw it more accurately to a person being rescued. If you are alone and fall . through the ice you should not try to climb out. Instead, ex- tend both arms along the sur- t face of the ice and kick vigor- ously. This action will tend to raise -the lower part of the body and propel you on to solid ice. Then, -roll to safety. , For all rescue operations; especially during winter, it is important to get the victim out of the water quickly. .Cold water can kill. Remember, ice is extremely hazardous during the first freeze -up and In early spring. There- fore, get to know and use ef- fective rescue methods and help save a fellow ice -sportsman, WestW�wonosh cowed holds inaugural meeting The inaugural session of'IWest Wawanosh Township CouncW was held at the home o f the clerk on.
