A total of 35 games were played by the local boys; 16 games ended in victory along with 17 losses and 2 ties. The boys failed to win any trophies, but didn't fail in their effort to try. The Pee Wees played in their regular league, then entered the W.O.A.A. playoffs. The boys were knocked out early as they lost to Grand Bend two games to one. The remaining hockey consisted of the Watford and Goderich Tournaments, as well as a few exhibition Regions established to aid in disease control New regulations come into effect on April 1, 1978, that will enable the Health of Animals Branch of Agriculture Canada to accelerate its campaign to eradicate brucellosis from Canadian cattle herds. Under the new regulations, Canada will be classified into three types of regions in accordance with the level of infection present: 1. Brucellosis -Free — Nfld., P.E.I., N.B. 2. Brucellosis Low -Incidence — N.S., Man., B.C., Sask., Alta. 3. Non -Designated — Que., Ont. Basically, the new regulations, and how they effect the livestock owner, involve strict control on movement of cattle into regions (provinces) with Zurich Rec.

For in- stance, cattle moving from a non -designated area to one of low -incidence, or from a low -incidence area to a brucellosis -free region, would all require blood - testing prior to movement. Animals from brucellosis - free lilted herds will be ex- empt, as well as some animals which will be ex- empted because of age, breeding capability or vac- cination status. These latter exemptions would naturally change based on the type of herd and region_from which they originated as well as to the type of herd and region to which they are moving. In non -designated regions (provinces), such as Ontario and Quebec, most cattle also require testing prior to movement to another farm, public sale, auction or, market of livestock, or to a show or exhibition within these two provinces. Ex- empt from this testing re- quirement will be cattle from brucellosis -free listed herds, dairy cattle less than 18 months of age, beef cattle less than 24 months of age, cattle for immediate slaughter, steers and spayed heifers. In all instances in which animals require a test prior to movement, particularly in Ontario and Quebec, on the farm blood testing must be conducted by an ac- credited veterinarian or his technician, at the expense of the animal owner. The test will be carried out by either a provincial (Ontario and Quebec only) or Federal (all provinces) laboratory. National statistics for the period ending February 28, 1978 showed that 863 herds were under quarantine in Canada. Brucellosis Free Regions — 2 herds; Brucellosis Low -Incidence — 144 herds; and non- designated — 717 herds, Huron County had 11 herds under quarantine as of March 23, 1978. When a blood test is re- quired for cattle movement, the blood test results must accompany the animal when it is moved. Owners who don't abide by these new regulations run the risk of forfeiting government com- pensation for cattle found to be infected with brucellosis, and also may be prosecuted under the Animal Disease and Protection Act. Total is same Shirley Mousseau reported this week that the final tabulation has been made on proceeds from the annual Crippled Kids' Weekend held in February at the Pineridge Chalet. Proceeds from the event were $3,455 and another $707.35 was received in donations, bringing the total to $4,162.35. The total is about the same as the previous year.

Much of this money may be wasted, if nothing has been done to determine the actual needs of garden soil. A soil test is a small, worthwhile investment, says Theo Blom, extension horticulturist with the On- tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at Vineland Station. "For a fee of one dollar per sample, the soil -testing laboratory at the University of Guelph will check levels of phosphorus, potassium, calcium,magnesium and soil pH, and recommend fer- tilizer requirements." Special boxes for soil samples are provided by the Department of Land Resource Science at the University of Guelph and by county agricultural offices. Mr. Blom recommends taking a total of four or five samples from different parts of the garden. These samples should be well mix- ed before being sent to Guelph. If separate, widely -spaced plots are to be cultivated, separate samples should be taken from each plot. Fees must be included with soil samples. -w GRAND BEND LIONESS SALE Bits 'n' Bites Odds `n` Sods Sat., April 1 10 a.m.-4 p.m. White Elephant Plants, Crafts & Baking Snack Bar Royal Canadian Legion Grand Bend SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL SAUERKRAUT SUPPER TASTY Spare Ribs with Sauerkraut (or Cole Slaw) * Also Home -Made Ides * WED., APRIL 5 5:30 P.M.
