Management day at Hanover
Livestock Systems '71 is the
theme. 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

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."

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. We feel the

station is a good thing for all con-
cerned, boat owners, the village
and the business people."
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.
