Farmers Union Present Brief Mr. Gordon Hill -read the fol- lowing brief to Huron county council on behalf of the Huron county Farmers' Union. Also at the presentation were Messrs, Ray Hanna, Carl Govier, Thos. Govenlock, Mrs. Thos. Govenlock and Mrs. Robertrt Taylor. The Huron district of the On- tario Farmers' Union • welcome this opportunity of meeting again the, Huron county council and sharing with you our views on the problems of agriculture which are conunon to us all. May we at this time extend congratulations to the new war - don and his council and especial- ly the new lady member who we understand is the first woman to sit on Huron county council. We commend this council for Your continuous financial assist- ance and support of 4-H club work, Junior Farmers, agricult- ural societies, soil and crop im- provement associations and many other worthy projects. First, let us take note of some of the accomplishments of Huron county through joint efforts dur- ing the past year. First the re- instatement of retroactive rabies compensation recently enacted by the Ontario Legislature, Secondly, we would like to bring to your attention the new Composite School in Clinton which has received final Govern- ment approval. The Huron dist- rict Farmers' Union are very proud of the.,prominent role they played in making this school a reality. We are at all times ready and willing to co-operate with any other farm group or organization for the benefit of farmers. Those of you council members who are farmers will not only appreciate the hardships encoun- tered in building and maintaining. a strong farm organization but also realize the benefits possible through a united effort, Being a direct dues paying membership controlled organiza- tion, the Ontario Farmers' Union is the only organization in Ont- ario in a position to take a firm stand with regards to the many problems facing agriculture and especially with respect to mark- eting hoards, We have always supported the principle of prod- ucer -controlled marketing hoards but firmly believe that these hoards must be national in scope to achieve the proper results. A1• though we believe that national marketing boards will strengthen the position of farmers, it is rea- lized that they must be tied to a sound agricultural ,policy, We fa. vor a policy whereby a plan of deficiency payments would be adopted on all agricultural prod- actg. Because of the shortage of hospitalbed accomodation in IIu}'on couniY we recently Pres. anted a brief, to the Hon, Di',. Oy- iir0lid .at his request: in Toronto,' requesting that the Ontario hos, pitaiizatioii commtssion, bring nursing homes which meet goy eminent regulations io ear conn. ty under the hospitalization plan. We .understand , that. several counties in 'Ontario through . the initiative or their county %niticits have secured a specified number of beds fn :nursing homes to be made available in'their counties for .patients with means who can. not be classified as Indigent pa- tients under the hospital plan, We solicit your support for the citizens of Huron county in this matter. In 1,960 the county council sent a resolutign to the international Plowmen's Association • recom- mending that the plowing match be held in 'Huron county. We re- quest support 02 the present county council to give ,further support to this matter. The Hur- on district Farmers' Union offer their services if needed to assure its success. As there has been no actionby the Board of Transport with re- gards to our past request re farm. truck .licensing, may we again ask for your further support, on this matter: The Ontario Fanners' Union believe that license fees for farm. trucks are unreasonably high. Farmers do not object; to paying a fair share of highway mainten- ance but feel the present system is not equitable. Records indicate that 22 percent of all trucks (2% tons and up) in the province be- long to farmers. They average only 8,700 miles per year. They travel empty two-thirds of the time and are used to capacity only 25 percent of the time. Ontario farmers. being primar- ily livestock producers, require a truck at various intervals of the year, and a seasonal license which has 'been suggested by the government would be of very, tittle benefit. We therefore recommend that a special classification be set up in Ontario for farm trucks with license fee considerably reduced. It has been suggested to our organization that weeds along the county roads and railways be cut or sprayed earlierr in the sea- son before going to seed. We would like to draw the at- tention of the Good Roads com- mittee to the fact that sanding operations have not been ode,. quare in some localities on dan- gerous Bills therefore endanger- ing lives. Report of Huron Co. Health Unit A report of the Huron County Health Unit, by Dr. R. M.

Some. authot`ities feelthat this disoase is on the increase but our fignrea are not sufficient' lY complete to drew any firm conclusions. Since the disease it; caused by two types of virus, each.with a different mode of 111 fetation, the study of outbreaks becomes . very complicated, Pre, vention of the first type is possl• hie through 'high standards or personal hygiene and general community sanitation with epi• pliasis on control of food and wa- ter supplies. The second variety has been traced to infected hu• pian Serum and requires fastidi• ons techniques by hospitals, elan, ics etc. where contaminated. syringes and equipment might contribute to its spread. Public health nursing activities, show 10,060 visits last year to 6,731 individuals, representing nearly 3,000 families. Increasing requests are received for visiting to cancer patients and the older adult, which the staff is pleased to carry out, We do lack a regu,' lar bedside nursing program, however, but are encouraged by its growth in neighbhring areas, In the schools there were 3,420 student health inspections, 5,529 vision tests and 2,027 hearing tests. At the five High Schools, 1,122. students were conferencedj as compared with 768 the pre- vious year.

Reject Proposal For New Cont Offices c e County Oces Heron County Council last week turned down the proposed construction of a second county building at Gederieh, a proposal urged to relieve overcrowding at the courthouse building. A council building 'ooninrittee recommended construction of a building at an estimated cost of: $256,000. Most members of council, how.; ever, said the present state of, county finances did not warrant the expenditure at this time. Reeve Melvin Crich pointed out the Clinton. Public hospital will have to be expanded next year and, he added, hospitals cost more than $2,000 per bed to build. The committee had recom mended payingfor the new build- ing by raising the tax rate by one niill. Reeve Crich and other county reeves opposed any in- creases in taxes. The building question was turned down by a vote of 29.7, Architects pf the proposed, Iir'o- Joct, Snider, Huget of Watel'lee, had drawn up preliminary plana and prepared a model of the pro. proposed -building. r, G.
