Gary Bedard's 2201622 and Carol Bennewies 278/642 (way to go Carol) were too much for Doug Leonhardt's 315/745. Still the Pink Panthers managed to squeak by to steal two points. Five was a popular number it seems as the Rocky Rollers managed to take five from the six place Four Plus Two Gerry Armstrong's 238/658 was not enough to thwart the combined efforts of the Rocky Rollers and they only chalked up two points. Thursday, November 8 will see the Behinders against the Ninja Turtles; the Rocky Rollers vs the Pink Panthers; and Four Plus Two facing the Simpsons.

Farm machinery is expensive and requires a great deal of initial capital investment for the individual farmer. Because of this initial cost plus the expense and effort needed to keep this equip- ment in prime working condition, an enterprising group is proposing to establish a Machinery Ring in this area. According to Canadian Agra, the idea of using group sharing of machinery and resources is not new, but is presently being used in parts of Europe and has been especially effective in Japanese agriculture. The basic principle is that farmers who have expensive underused machinery would supply the ser- vices of their equipment to other farmers who need work done. Thus they would be getting the full value of their machinery's capacity to handle more hours of work per year, while at the same time relieving the individual farmer of the necessity of owning the entire variety of machinery needed to run his farm. Organized in a businesslike way with computerized matching of suppliers to areas requiring their services, this Machinery Ring would provide each participant with the opportunity of supplying work with his machinery and/or receiving work done by the machinery of others. Canadian Agra proposes to set up the business structure and the com- puterized database to organize this effort for a membership fee. In theory it sounds as though the Dogs • from page 1 clinic begins to look for a home for the animal. If no home is found for them, the animal is put to sleep. If the animal is claimed by the owner a fine of $50 is imposed. If it takes the owner dime days to claim the dog they pay the clinic an Accessible idea would be worth exploring. Hundreds of thousands of dollars go into supplying each farm with the machinery necessary to put in crops and harvest those crops. Expensive combines are necessary when the crop is ripe, but often it seems that in a 52-week year, they sit idle in the barn for at least 40 of those weeks. If farmers could coordinate their efforts, much individual capital expense could be saved. In practice, however, there are a few questions to be asked. How is it decided who gets the use of a certain machine when the weather conditions are tricky, and everyone's crop has only the same week of good weather for harves- ting before it sprouts? Does the machinery go to the largest lan- downer, or the one who is willing to pay a little more? Would this practice result in a trend toward large custom machinery operators willing to travel great distances for large jobs, and overlook small diversified land holdings, thus shrinking their mar- gin of profit and increasing their danger of extinction? What effect would such a practice have on the beleaguered small family farm? Would the small enterprises be edged out by agricultural giants such as the Irving family or the McCain operations in the Maritimes? Surely family farms have enough oppression right now as they try to survive in these dif- ficult economic times. The Rural Voice November, 1990 lists some of the estimated costs for this service as member- ship, $200; annual fees, $100; tran- saction levy, 4%; and liability in- surance. Add to this the book- keeping of GST, travel costs, the shared expense of setting up the database, and expense/credit for work done. Would these extra costs be acceptable to the farmer? One aspect that I wouldn't like about Canadian Agra's proposition is the requirement that a bank ac- count must be made available for the Machinery Ring manager to debit and credit expenses as he finds it necessary, according to services performed. It's like giving out your credit card number; I just don't feel comfortable giving another party authorization to debit and credit my bank account. I'd sooner pay my bills when they're due, and deposit money in my account when I receive it. However we should keep an open mind and listen to new ideas. Perhaps there is some merit to be adopted here or the plan could lead to other schemes for working cooperatively. The Huron County Federation of Agriculture intends to arrange for a representative from Canadian Agra to come and explain this proposed Machinery Ring in detail to interested farmers at the December HCFA meeting. It will make an interesting topic. I remember the 1950s, when we worked on creative writing as- signments in school describing how life would be in the brave new world of the future. We talked of very brief work weeks, push -but- tons freeing us from all common chores and drudgery, gadgets and inventions doing everything for us but wiping our noses. Now the future is here, and while our lifes- tyle is much different than we could ever have imagined, it's amazing how often we're dredging up ideas from the past. • from page 1 leading into portables and the only secondary school has ramps.

If the animal isn't claimed by the owner and is adopted, the Town of Seaforth pays the clinic's boarding and admmistration fees, plus $15 for vaccinations for a total of $60. In some cases the animal isn't adopted and, according to licy, it must be put to sleep. When that happens no fine is charged or col- lected, but the clinic submits a bill to the Town of Seaforth for boar- ding and administration costs, plus $35 to cover the cost of euthanasia and disposal, for a total of $80. During the previous 12 months the clinic has received 24 stray dogs. Of them seven were claimed, eight adopted, and nine, including Mr. Henderson's two dogs, were put to sleep. Mr. Henderson says he can't understand why his hunting dogs "weren't given the 72 hours grace." "Their policy is 72 hours and they try to find a home for the dogs. • from page 2A Justment made was that in connec- tion with the property of James Cleary. The original assessment of S7,275 building, and $72S, was reduced to SISO. Assessment of J. Segeren was transferred to the Separate School, They gave my dogs just a couple of hours. What happened to the rules of their policy?" Dr. Nuhn has discussed the in- cident with his clinic staff and promises that the matter has been dealt with. "I take full responsibility for the death of these two dogs," said Dr. Nuhn. "Firstly, 72 hours did not lapse before the dogs were put down. Secondly, since the dogs were claimed by Mr. Henderson, they should not have been put down without him signing a consent form. The 72 hours also acts as a 'cooling down' period, and after 24 hours Mr. Henderson returned to the clinic to pay the fine and pick up the dogs. "Unfortunately, in this case the policy rules weren't followed and the dogs were put down. I'm sorry about this and realize nothing can be done for the dogs, and 1 feel bad for the Hendersons. We can just try to make sure nothing like this ever happens again." while business assessment of W.C. Henderson, covering store no longer in use, was deleted.
