ANNUAL MEETING OF HURON CO-OPERATIVE MEDICAL SERVICES The Huron Co-operative Medical Services completed their 'first suc- cessful year on, July 81, 1948, and held their first, annual meeting on the evening of November 1, in the town `ball, eClinton, Ontario. Probably a brief outline of the organization ]night be interesting to those who Have not been in close contact with the movement from the beginning. In the summer of 1946, the Coun- ty Federation of Agriculture, feel- ing that some hospitalization plan, Which could be owned, operated and controlled by the people of Huron County, whereby the people of the county could avail themselves with prepaid hospitalization at a reason- able price would be a worthwhile project. With this object in view, the president, Mr. Russell Bolton, select- ed three members from his County Directors, viz; Mrs. 0. G. Anderson,. Wingham; Mrs, Lloyd Taylor, Exet- er; and Bert Irwin,. Seaforth; as a committee to seek information on setting up a Hospitalization Plan for Huron County. After a considerable time being, spent in research work the committee brought back a report and the Federation agreed to pay the organizing and advertising ex- penses. After making an application for a charter, and receiving the same, an organization meeting was held in Clinton, and a provisional board of twelve and were elected to re- present the different parts of the county. At the first meeting of the direct- ors Mr. Russell Bolton, of Dublin was chosen as president and Harvey Johnston, Vice -President, o Eh, Ont. Bert Irwin, R.R. 2, was selected as secretary -treasurer. The organization became opera- tive on Aug. 1, 1947 with a paid up membership of $2846.90. For the first two months the claims did not exceed thirty dollars, while the mem- berships increased by the hundreds and have continued to do so every month since. At the end of the first year (July 31st.) they were able to report, the receipt of 917 applica- tions which entitles 2,728 persons to hospitalization, representing people engaged in various occupations. The set-up of the organization is so flexible that the service can be made available to Urban as well as rural people. At present our mem- bership consists of groups from School Sections, Farm Forums, Wo- men's Institutes, Co-operatives, Church groups, etc. The services are also available to industrial and busi- ness groups as well. The Huron Co-operative Medical Services are operated on a Co-oper- l ative basis, therefore after paying 108 claims amounting to $3602.14 we are able to pay the members a dividend of 16.1% on their first year's membership fees. This was voted at the annual meeting to be held by the organization as a loan ' to build up a reserve before return- ing it to the members. A few of the outstanding features of the organ-' ization are: 1. It is possible. for everyone in the county to become members. 2. All business, claims etc. are dealt with in the county, thus chin- ' inating unnecessary delay and ex- pense. 3. Their rates are exceedingly low for the service rendered. 4. It is a co-operative organiza- tion rganization and all profits earned belong to the members, 5. Their aim is in paying claims, aocordine to our contract, and cour- teous service. After the general business was transacted Mr. Paul Meehan, Secre- tary of Gumbo.Medical Services and Secretary of The Co-operative Medi- cal Services Federation, Toronto, and Mr. Hughes, assistant Secretary of Co-operative Union, were intro- duced by Mrs. 0.

Taylor, Exeter; Mr, Henry Schilbe, Dashwood; Mr. Gord- on Kirkland, Lucknow; Mr. F. Clark, Goderich; Mr. Russell Bolton, Dub- lin; Bert Irwin, Seaforth; a very hearty vote of thanks was moved by Mr, Earl Whiting, of Centralia, to the gnost speakers, which was con- veyed to them by the President, Mr. Russell Bolton, In concluding the meeting,' the president asked Mrs. Bert Irwin to preside at the piano fdr the singing of the National Anthem.

"Sex -sighting", as it is called.; is widely practised on Barred Rock chicks by commercial chick sexes. Consequently the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture has issued the bulletin on sex -sighting for the purpose of explaining by descrip- tion and illustration just how it is done: The sexes are distinguished by pattern of the white head spot, leg colour, and by shade of black col- our in the down. Because the differ- ences in many cases, at least to the beginner, are difficult to disting- uish, these difficulties are explained by the bulletin. A keen student by a close study of the bulletin should be able to sex chicks accurately. When difficulty is experienced after the study, it is recommendeU that a few lessons be taken from an ex- pert. A copy of the bulletin may be obtained by writing to the Dontin ion Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. ttawa. FERTILIZER SUPPLY GENERALLY GOOD. In general, there should be a suf- ficient supply for Canadian 1949 crop requirements of the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash fertil- izers. As there are produced in Can- ada large quantites of sulphate of arnonia, ammonium nitrate' and cy- anamid in excess of Canadian re l.�l FO R H i T E T S A Thurs. Fri. Sat.

S. Peart, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Phosphate supply in the form of superphosate should be ample, but again this year there may be a short- age of 1148 ammonium phosphate in the Prairie.Provinces. This is due to a continued increase in demand in that part of Canada for this ma- terial while its production at Trail, the only source of supply, - is not hkely to be increased. Some 43,-000 tons of -11-48 ammonium phosphate was used on the Prairies in the spring of 1948 as against 10,000 tons in 1943. Potash supply from the United States and Europe should be ample provided that the tonnage arranged 'in France materializes as expected. Sulphate of potash with which to make tobacco fertilizer with low chlorine content may be short again this year. • "My young son is extremely polite," announced the wag.

BOSWELL, MANAGER TO DISTINGUISH SEX IN BARRED CHICKS Although it is well known that, in purebred Barred Plymouth Rocks poultry, the partly grown and adult males can be readily distinguished from the females by the type of barring on the feather, there are, however, exceptions in certain cases. It is also well known that the cockerel baby chicks tend to be lighter in down colour than the pullets, but, until recently, it was not possible to tell the sex of Barred Rock -chicks by down colour with sufficient accuracy to be practicable. However, states Farmers' Bulletin No. 102 (Publication No. 718) on "Sight Sexing Barred Rook Baby Chicks", issued by the Poultry Divi- sion, Experimental Farms :Service, an .accurate method of distinguish- ing sex in this breed of chick was introduced about the year 1936. Since then the method has spread until at the present time in Canada, Lay Away Future Gifts..... NSW!!
