The occasion is the 3rd Annual Farm and Home Manage- ment Day. It is an information day for farmers and their wives. Six different farms within a radius of 20 miles from Hanover will be featured. The day is for all of Western Ontario. A team of Extension Specialists will be available on each farm. As well, the host farmer will take an active part in the discussion. The date is Thurs- day, July 29, with the noon prog- ram at Hanover. There are two main objectives of this day; (1) to develop the farm manag- er's understanding of a systems approach. (2) to develop management skills in combining resourves such as land, livestock and labour into products such as beef, milk, pork and wool. The problem usually is "how to put the pieces together." When Endorse plans Ontario Chamber of Commerce president, Charles J. Clark, Q.C, this week endorsed the announce- ment by Prime Minister Davis of his intention to lower the age of majority to 18 years. "At our 59th Annual Convent- ion in May, " he stated, "the Chamber adopted, after consider- able debate, a policy recommend- ation to lower the drinking age to 18 years." "I believe it is right to inter- pret this as recognition that a person of 18 years of age is of sufficient maturity to make sound judgements, not only in respect to the use of alcohol, but also in respect to voting and to cont- ractual obligations." some new idea is introduced we often hear the comment "but, it is not practical." The farm man- ager is really saying "it does not fit into my system. " What is management? It can be divided into three main jobs; (1) planning, (2) action, (3) eval- uation. When we hear someone sa• "management is poor" what do they mean? Usually, that planning and evaluation are poor. Farmers have many sources of information. At times they say there is "too much information and too little time." Management of time is important. Farms get larger, yet, the hour still contains only sixty minutes. Last year over 1, 000 farmers and wives attended a similar day. They visited one farm in the morning, came together at noon to eat their picnic lunch, listened to a guest speaker and returned to a second farm in the afternoon. They used this day to do some planning and evaluation. And for most is a relaxed outing with the family. They said, "we are glad we came." Young drummers in St. John's band Boat pump -out at Bend A pump -out service station for the sanitary holding tanks aboard boats coming to Grand Bend, went into operation recently at the local pier. Two Grand Bend businessmen have provided the station to serve boats at a minimal cost. Local hotelman, Orval Wass - man, one of the two partners in the enterprise, said, "We're charging boat owners $1, 00 to pump out their holding tanks." Mr. Wassman said that a survey he had taken indicated that pump - out facilities at other ports, "often run as high as $2.50, per boat. "We want boaters to come to Grand Bend, " he said, "so we decided to underwrite the cost of the station and charge only a token fee for the pumping serv- ice." Harold Amy, co-operator of the installation siad, "It's an accomodation for boaters but, ther they do bring their business here and we appreciate it.

The station, which has its own 1080 gallon holding tank was eleven weeks, in the building. The operators said they had experienced a number of "delays and holdups caused by sources of supply.," Prime contractor for the proj- ect was William Baltessen, R,R,2, Grand Bend. Before construction could begin the operators were required to obtain permits from the Grand Bend village council, Lambton County Health Unit, Ontario Wat- er Resources Commission, and the federal department of trans- port. So far the pump -out station has cost the operators, "at least seven hundred dollars." Lands approved by the Lambton County Health Unit have been designated for disposal of the waste. The carrying of sanitary tanks by boats operating on Canadian waterways is required under prov- incial and federal law.
