Wank stoppages and dead stock
removal were the tyro amAtILT
topics for discussion at the
meaony meeting of the Hen
County Federatien of Agriculture
last Thursday in Belgrave.
The Tenn of dead stock and
its ramifications are tato new to
the nano hers of the federation
Disconnsncas at earlier meetings
this year had evoked concern
among some farmers that dis-
eased dead stock was put to use in
pet food. Thursday night's
cussnen, however, focused on
an aspect of dead stock closer to
home: its removal and the costs
it volved.
Up to September 4. dead stock
removal companies in Huron
County charged anywhere from
to S15 for the removal of dead
stock from farms_ The farmers,
therefore, not only suffered the
loss of the animals but also found
they had to pay to have the dead
animals removed Some farmers,
frustrated by the entire situation,
trn,a• to fiazd ether ways. tat SOIVe
the problem, including lea‘sillg
the carcasses to rot along a-
sides and in open fields.
This information was e011-
tainos in a report presented at
the meeting by a committee
establish by the Huron County
Federation to investigate the
matter. The committee, com-
posed of Mason Bailey, Jack Van
Wonderen and Adrian Keet
reported that an average of 45
carcasses over 500 pounds were
collected daily in Huron County.
At a rate of $10 per collection, the
total comes to per day or
over $160,000 on an annual basis.
Charges for dead calves and pigs
would more than double this
amount
The committee came to the
conclusion that dead stock
removal is a definite problem in
the county and recommended
immediate action to resolve
Since the committee started its
work two local dead stock

Dead Sto& opal of Clinton nton at
the September meeting of the
federation. Fed,tion-members
suggested that the action is a
direct result of the investigatory
work of the committee.
The committee ms, how-
ever, are not content to let the
matter rest as Yet. They offered
three recon -t dations to the
federation m •-" bers and pro-
posed that these be sent to the
OFA executive for further ap-
proval. Only one of the recom-
mendations was approved at the
meeting, urging the OFA to peti-
tion the government to investi-
gate the general problem of dead
stock removal. Proposals that a

Reg. directors elected

elected at an earlier meeting in
September. They are: West
Central, Jack Van Wonderen;
South, Glen Miller.
In other business, the members
were informed by Mr. Bailey that
a new public Mations program
has been initiated by the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture. The
focus of the program will be on
the urban media in an effort to
represent the views of the agri-
cultural community for the non-
agricultural segment of society.
The Ontario Editorial Board will
direct the program for a three-
month trial period.
President of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture, Doug
Fortune, informed members that
the annual meeting of the federa-
tion would be held Oct. 30 at the
United Church in Clinton.
Members were also informed
of a new point system operative
within the OFA to provide county
rebates. Under the program,
county federation groups would
receive a certain- number of
points for new members,
membership renewals and
_ various internal activities. The
`points world hen. be tr ns
_ WO -Mates of money. `'Since the
_plan hinges on a membership
basis, it would be self-supporting
from the financial point of view.
Members also approved a set of
changes to the constitution pre-
sented at an -earlier meeting by
'the Education Committee.
Ori
Oaaby, a repmentldbe froM
Ashfield ` o p, who
pre-
sented the following r . toe
be prewnted to the OFA:
Whereas work stoppages
within our pmt day complex
and interdependent economic
system -acme widespread and
disastrous effects to the whole
country; therefore be it resolved
that the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture rpt that the pro-
vincial and national governments
enact legislation banning or cur-
tailing theright to strike or lock-
out, replacing these with a fair
system of labor courts to settle
disputes."
Mr. Gunby explained that the
resolution was rooted in concern
over the increasing losses suf-
fered by the agricultural com-
munity and the economy as
whole due to strikes and work
stoppages. "It probably sounds
like it'spauti■-Tabor and to a cer-
tain point it is," Mr. Gunby said,
but he eipiaiined that'lockouts'
were also included in the wording
to be fail+. "It may not be the final
answer," he said, "but certainly
somebody hasp get talking."
Although ftion members
at the meeting agreed that work
stoppages are a problem, many
of them said they weren't sure
the recommendation to the OFA
was the solution. They agreed,
however, that the resolution
should be forwarded to the OFA
executive for presentation and
consideration at the convention.
Mr. Gunby also suggested -that a
()copy of the resolution could be
sent to the new public relations
firm for proper interpretation for
the public. "It's a commonsense
resolution," he concluded.
One member in agreement
with and support of the resolution
was Peter Hannam, a member of
the OFA executive and guest
speaker at the Huron County
Federation meeting.
Mr. Hannam spoke briefly on
his work with the OFA, its
policies and future plans.
"Looking back on it, I'm quite
amazed at the power the OFA
has," he said.
He touched in his talk on solu-
tions to the problem of farm
vehicles on major public roads,
Ontario Hydro problems, taxes
and the Ontario Farm Income
Protection Plan. "It's a very
complicated situation," he said:
"Food has become a political tool
to ,maani elate and control the
fate,'.Of world trade. 11IMes have
-'ged. Do we want to stabilize
agriculture in Ontario? I think
• it's essential that the opportunity
be there."
Mr. Hamm explained that the
OFA was currently working to

A new study has found that
people who drove to work were
expo ed to more than twice as
much carbon monoxide as those
who rode the rails.
The study is part of a series
being undertaken in order to see
that people are mately pro-
tected from carbon monoxide
pollution. Carbon monoxide,
when inhaled, replace vital oxy-
gen i,r, the blood — a particular
danger for people with cardio-
vascular
ardiavelar disease_
This investigation involved 62
nassmokirig volunteers who are
not ocati®finally exposed to
carbon monoxide. who came
from different geographical
areas, and who use different
meths of gelling to work. Per-
sonal exposure to the pollutant
was measured by equipping the
vo ;urnee s with portable carbon
anode samplers. The s'o u n-
teet<s carried theme monitors with
them for three to five days during
both c rinity and working

were compared to tare from sta-
