Huron Federation will back
milk .board against farmers
Strong support for the
Ontario• ,Milk Marketing
Board was given by members
of the Huron County
Federation of Agt•iculture
attending : the monthly
meeting in Clinton recently.
The meeting voted . to
support a committee
organizing to support the
marketing board against
milk producers angered; by
milk quota cutbacks which•
are hurting them. •
Lyle Pettapiece of • Grey
township told the meeting
that there has been a lot cif
flack aimgd at the milk
marketing boards and most
of it : is unjustified. Hesaid
that many milk producers. are
afraid that if the dissidents,
under the name of S.T.O:M.P.
go ahead with their
threatened suit against -:.the
O,M.M.B. they could . do
serious damage to the'_cofi:_
cept 'of controlled milk
production. '
As well, pointed out Doug
Fortune, Huron Federation
past . president -and a milk
producer, if the suit was
successful- it would be other.
dairy farmers + who pay the
bill since"the board 'members
aren't liable for such suits.
• Earlier in. the -meeting the
proposal from the Perth
County Federation of
Agriculture to the O.F.A. was
studied, andtforthe most part.
discarded.' The brief 'called
for abolition of the two -pool
system of fluid milk and
0 '
a
44
industrial milk and con-
solidation to one pool • by
October 1977. It realized that
some producers would have
trouble bringing their in-
dustrial milk set ups .to.,.the
standards . required for
buildings, and .sanitation,so it
called for a one-year.period of -
grace for them to work into
this slowly and twoyears for
.evening out milk production
throughout the year.
Spokesmen such as Mr. '
Fortune and Mel Knox of
ounty
to
Hullett Township pointed out
that the present graduated
entry system does just that
but over a longer period
which they felt • was
necessary. In fact, one
speaker • said, those who
drafted the proposal should
have gotten hold of the
present.. regulations before
writing it up and could have,
saved themselves a lot of
time.
One proposalcalling for a
ceiling of ,$10 per pound for
milk quota at present to be
slowly reduced to nothing
brought an -angered reaction
from dairy farmers- present.
Mr. Fortune 'pointed out that
the farmers presently in the
fluid Milk pool .paid an
average of about $25 a pound
for theirquota• and to sud-
denly give free giuota' was
unfair to them. Besides, he
said, quota always has a
value 'somehow, 'if not on the.
quota itself then on the cows
or some other angle.

The Huron County.L:ibrary.
system will be over budget by
the end of this year to the tune
of $15,000 to $20,000.
According to Librarian:Bill
Partridge part of the over
expenditure' is due to a deficit
carry bver from 1975 of $8,800.
An inerease in costs for
books, of between eight and 10
per cent, was -cited as another
contributing factor.
Mr. Partridge also. ex-
' plained that during the past
year the, library has seen a
considerable increase in book .
circulation over previous
_ years. Circulation in'1975 (for
9
the ' January' to August
period) was computed : at
226,000 books. •For the same
period this year the figure is
235',992:
County wide the Library
Service operates 28 library
outlets with a staff of 35 to 40,
many of those employees
being part time. The total
budget .for' 1976 ' was set at
$301,250.
Of that t 1 budget, $70,000
had been . setside for the
actual purchase of books and
for processing those books. In
1975 $81,226 went . toward
books and processing, $61,340

The increase in book cir=

Mr:: Partridge .explained, has
been steady each month, and
most- noticeable in the town

Books this year- are' just

$84,000 to $70,000. •
A sPecial emphasis on the 's
