George Michie resigns position as Morris Township treasurer Just as Morris filled . the vacant position •of road superintendent with Lloyd Miebie, another post came°up for grabs. George Michie, treasurer . for the township, handed in his resignation to council Monday afternoon. Mr. Michie, who has been; treasurersince 1967, wouldn't comment onwhy'ke wished' to, resign, but .. stated that alfboughhe. enjoyed,,the. job; " I,wa?l!t>ed.,tQ.get mita it"this Even though Mr. Michie had beenhinting during earlier meetings that this Would be his; hast year, council seemed to be taken by surprise by his leiter of resignation. In, his letter he requested that his job end March 31, however he later, -agreed to stay on until the end of April. a. • Council felt itneeded, aO tber month to properly deal; with the situation, but it was• noted that in; many. townships the clerk also. exercises the treasurer's duties. F, • The auditors attended part of .the meeting to present the township's financial statement. However.' .the. statement will not.be complete until the township's I . ,ext meeting on. April 25. Any Morris resident who wishes to review the township business is invited to attend that meeting for a special in- formation period. Council hopes that visiters will come between 11 a.m. and 12 'noon: Council renewed its municipal insurance with Frank Cowan Company Ltd. ' After 'a discussion with the„ 'company representatives, David Reid and Jim Cardiff, Morris decided' to update the amount of financial coverage that would replace buildings, contents and equipment. It also 'picked up errors and omissions coverage.-, •Ind other. .business Morris received and .opened" two gravel tenders. The one from George Radford was ap- proved. He tendered for $1.99 per cubic .yard totalling $49,750' for 25,000 yards. Representatives from the Blyth and District Community Centre forwarded the 1980 budget :,<# or • the centre 'to. courilcil ;. and requested, a donation of $750 They are also asking for donations from other rhunicipalities such as "'• $1,625 from- Blyth, $1,625 from ',Millet Township, $1,000 from • East Wawanosh and $400 from Nest Wawanosh. The budget shows last year's revenue totalling $43,691, and $44,739 worth of expenses: Requested . donations total $5,400. ',Before deciding -on the grant - Morris would like to discuss the budget at its next meeting with its two representatives, Bruce Richmond and Carmen Craig. The main concern, as ex- pressed by Councillor Ross Procter, was that the donations are becoming a built-in part of the. budget: NOTICE How many of these DISCOUNTS or BENEFITS do you qualify for?

Council did award grants to Brussels minor ..hockey and figure skating. There are 20 children from Morris involved in the figure skating program so council. awarded $10 per child for a total of $200. Twenty-five ' take" part in minor hockey, Therefore $250 was -granted. . • George -Oakes attended the "general meeting to request , that repairs be made on the Kirky Drain. Apparently the drain, installed in 1920, isn't working properly. Councillor Bob Grasby was appointed by council to look into the matter. Ken Hopper and Alan Bridge,. from the Belgrave Kinsmen, approached . Morris for moral support for the Kinsmen's proposed project off a new Belgrave Recreational Complex. The project involves purchasing 2.8 acres from Lorne Humphrey, moving the present baseball diamond to the acquired land and then constructing a parking lot on the old ball diamond. The Kinsmen would like East Wawanosh to buy the land, with, the, .understanding that - the' club would provide the funds. Morris plans to meet with East Wawanosh on April 14 to discuss the matter: A three-man delegation, headed by Bill Shortreed, attended the meeting ,to discuss the Walton Recreation building.

Who cares about thermal stress and strain in grapevines? How many of you will benefit from the development of a low cost meat -bone separator for crab meat? The prize has to go to this one: Event Scheduling and Process Interaction Concepts in Discrete Simulation Modeling. These are • isolated exam- ples. There is a lot of very use- ful research going on in in- dustry and at universities. In the area of agricultural engineering research, several projects are under way at the University of Guelph. These include work on low- temperature corn drying, solar energy application, production of methane, studies into erosion, and many others. Who decided which projects are the most important? That's where all of us come into the picture. Agricultural engineers from across the province get together once a year to come up with priorities for research needs. We look at different subject areas and base our comments on feed- back from the people we work with. For example, there has been a lot of interest in Huron County lately in alcohol production for fuel. There has been a fair amount of interest in new rabbit barns. Is research needed in either of these areas? Are other sub- jects more important? I have to rely on feedback from the farmers to base my com- ments. The whole intention of these engineering meetings f1 to try to get research projects going that are going to be the most useful to the farmers of the province ultimately. If you see a need for research hn so„a particular –area,' please/et'u'sknow. vhen the same concern comes from several people, there's a good chance it will be actedon. You do have a voice in this. PROTEC Most high -producing dairy cows go through an energy crisis in the first months after calving. The drain of high production, and ``so-so" ap- petite creates a negative energy balance. The resulting weight loss can lead to disappointing production and fat test, acetonemia and poorer conception rates. A new feed ingredient, Protec, offers a solution and shows considerable promise as an aid Tn'solving the energy crisis. Protec is a very con- centrated source of energy, one important benefit from its use could very well turn out to be improved health in early lactation. In particular, problems with ketosis or acetonemia, caused by inadequate energy intake, may be prevented through increasing the amount of energy in the ration. At the current price of $650 per tonne, Protec should only -be fed to high producing cows, Top dressing Protec at a rate of one pound per cow per day in early lactation would be a very efficient way ;to increase energy intake. At current prices, the expected increase in fat test would return half of this added feed bill cost, so that an increAte in production per cow of one half kilogram milk per day would be needed to reach the break-even point, As more information becomes available from farm experience and further research, both product im- provement and refinement of feeding, recommendations shotild occur. PROTEC By ,iikonAo Moran will be erected at the Walton baseball dia•lrmond. It will house a booth, washrooms and - a library. The tender from Henry Exel to build the structure for $24,995 was accepted. At an earlier meeting Morris suggested that • its donation for .the project would total $4,000. Although the delegation.,d l,,not-ask-.for a specific amount, it was requested that Morris' con- tribution be increased. .. Council made no firm' decision on the grant. The ''township decided to' contact the Ministry of Natural Resources about beaver problems. In response to a complaint by James Riley, it was suggested that a trapper be contracted through the ministry to rectify the situation on the south halt Of. Lot 26 and 27, Con. 7. A severance application from Alan Bridge was recommended by Morris with the condition that the proposed roadway be moved to the west side of the lot. The application was'to•'sever 26 - acres just east of the garage. The land -division committee in Goderia denied a severance application . from Vernon Somers. That one was for Lot 18, Con. 8. Tile drain loan applications from Ernest and Annette Lewington, ken= Williamson, Herbert Oaks- and Vernon Somers were approved by council, subject to the availability of funds. Morris Township will be paying $5,036 to the Town of Wingham to help offset the fire department deficit. The township has already paid $900 for /ire fighting in Morris.
