• $58.92 per cow after deducting
the owner's $5.emium fur
enrolling the ithimal in the
voluntary Ontario Beef Calf
Income Stabilization
Program.
Net government payment
will be $20.75 million for 1976,
the second year of the
emergency' program to help
cow -calf operators weather a
period of world-wide beef
surpluses and abnormally
low prices for calves.
The payment formula
hinges on a support price of 50
cents a pound set earlier this
year and a weighted average
market price of 33.92 cents
established at fall sales
throughout the province:
Mr. Newman noted that the
average market price was 3.6
• cents higher than in 1975,
reducing stabilization
payments. This year there
was a 26 percent increase in
the number, of farmer'
enrolled in the plan.
• He said the outlook for
Ontario's beef industry in
1977 is brighter because of
• improved pries, 'a record
slaughter rate to reduce
• herds in line with the market
• and moderating prices for
feed corn:
• The Federal Agriculture
Minister Eugene Whelan has
accepted the •recom-
• . mendation of the Canadian
Milk' Supply Management
Committee , and has
authorized the '• Canadian
Dairy Commission to change
the method of federal subsidy
„. payments to Canadian
producers of industrial milk.
• Since national • milk
production has successfully
been brought into' line twith.
domestic requirements, it has -
been possible to discontinue
the application of monthly
• market share quotas.
• Effective immediately,
beginning with payments on
October deliveries, subsidy
will be paid on all shipments
which fall within 95 percent of
annual subsidy eligibility.
This change will give
Canadian dairy farmers an
additional $12 million over the
$19 million presently being
'paid on October shipments. It
is expect4d that the cheques,
which are presently being
processed, - will be in the
hands of dairy farmers before
Christmas.
The remaining 5 percent Of
the subsidy elibibility will be
added to farmers' final

If you are. wearing bifocal
glasses today, and thousands
of -people are, you may be
surprised to know they were
invented by Benjamin
Franklin. About 200 years
ago, when he flew kites in
quest,. of electricity and
worked on the famous
Franklin stove, he also in-
vented glasses that brought
long and short distance into
one frame.
"We tajce our glasses for,

philosophers rather than
scientists took an active part
in the early development of
ayeglasses.
An English thinker, Roger
Bacon, studied mirrors and
lenses and brought glasses
into use about the year 1300.
Leonardo da Vinci, renowned
painter and investigator in
many fields during the 15th
century, shed light on
spectacles by showing how
the eye sees.
Later• the French
philosopher Rene Descartes
focussed attention on
reflection and refraction of,
