Dairy farmers and their organiza- tions, among other things, hope that urban people niay derive new understanding of the prob- Increase Staff At Huronview; 56 Now Serve lems which beset producers, processors, manufacturers and distributors of dairy goods. For their part dairy farmers might hope that as urban peo- ple drive along country roads past well kept dairy farms that they give some thought to the qualities of management which go into making a dairy farm a successful operation. Once the dairy farmer is set up with his livestock and equip- ment he can go broke quickly unless he is a good manager. Indeed, the successful farmer must be "financier and labor- er, planner and caretaker, pro- dticer and marketer, diagnosti- With the increase in residents cian and nursemaid, student and older people—one now 100 years of age—the staff at Hur. onview is increasing. "We have 59, and one part- time," superintendent Harvey Johnston told county council. "There are 26 on the nursing staff alone, and we are going to need more. When we built the home, everyone was won- dering if it was to big. "Our special care accommo- dation is filled. Our normal care for men was filled a while ago, and we have added three beds t0 the normal care female side and these are all filled but one. Some of our normal care patients have been given bed care, and we have some new beds at present in our normal care. Those added to -female normal care may have to be turned over to male normal care. "Our doctor, Dr. J. C. Ross, is sick, and we are missing him badly, because he has spent considerable time at the home during his term of office, "Our resident population is 159-89 females. In the last few years the women have been increasing in numbers. Total admissions since January 1 is 46, quite an increase over last year, as during the whole of 1961 our total of admissions was 54. Of the 46, six were "Under 70, and of the remainder over 70 their average age was 84. In 1961 the total death's was only 16, but up to date in 1962 we have lost 30 since the first of the year. All but six of the residents who -died were over 80." The superintendent w a s speaking on the report of the Huronview committee, of which Reeve Ralph Jewell, Colborne, is chairman. "We are concerned at the moment," the report stated, "with the condition of the roof', of the 1954 addition. We have been advised that we need a new roof. This matter was re- ferred to the bonding company, which recommended that we engage a consultant. The con- sultant is Wyndham J. Free- man, Ltd., and the fee for the report will be $500." Heat in the laundry affects working conditions, and the matter is under investigation. Temperature has reached 110 on some days, the chairman re- ported. The agriculture committee, of .which Reeve Valentine Becker, Hay'township, is chairman, had before it three communications on the subject of a deer season. It recpmmended that an open season be held in Huron coun- ty, provided"all other counties have an open season, and that it be held at the same time as the regular deer season—Nov. 5, 6 and 7, 1962. .The committee did not con- cur in a Farmers' Union brief regarding special classification of licensing for farm trucks. Huron Wins Over Perth The Perth - Huron Junior Farmer field day _was held at Seaforth on Saturday. The Whyte Packing Company tro- phy, awarded annually to the county that has the highest number of points, was won by the Huron County Juniors by a margin of only one point. Track and field events took place in the morning and team sports in the afternoon, and t h e square dance competition in the evening. In the inter -county team ev- ents, Huron County won the girls' basketball, mixed volley- ball and boys' and girls' tug-of- war. Perth county won both boys' and girls' softball games and the boys' basketball game.

Above all, he must know how to cope with the weather in relation to his management problems for few occupations in the world are so subject to the whims of the weather as is farming. Management of a dairy farm is complex indeed and the man who makes a success of dairy- ing probably would be a suc- cessful administrator .wherever he might be. Any farmer is continuously making decisions on hundreds of matters which range from the broad policies of the -organization of the farm to the intricate details of day- to-day operation. Some of his major ' decisions will be con- cerned with what crops to pro- duce arid how much to pro- duce; how to market each; what kinds, grades and quantities of materials to use in his produc- tion operation; where to buy them; and how to time the sea- sonal pattern of activities. Na- turally he must decided how many cows to keep in the herd and which individuals; what quantities of the various sorts of roughages and concentrates to feed them; how much of the roughage to produce on the farm; what crop rotation and fertilization practices to fol- low; how to store roughages for winter feeding; whether to raise or purchase replacement animals and plan the seasonal pattern of breeding and fresh- ening dates for the herd. These are but a few of the decisions which must be taken continual- ly in the successful manage- ment of a dairy or other farm operation which has livestock as its base.

About 80 were present. They played softball and other games. \ut FRESH FRUITS COMPLEMENT DAIRY FOODS DURING JUNE DAIRY MONTH Three cheers for June! For not only is it the time of year that hints of the tong summer days ahead, but it's also the month we set-aside to celebrate Dairy Month across f1 a coun- try. Entertaining becomes relaxed and carefree—thanks to our own wonderful dairy foods and an abundance of fresh fruits. When teamed up with the natural goodness of Canada's 'dairy foods ... ice cream, fresh sweet cream, cottage cheese and dairy sour cream ... these tantalizing fresh fruits arrive at the table looking cool and appetizingly different. Pineapple Shell Salads a la Mode are a conversation piece, and salad - and -dessert all in one! Fill one pineapple half with chilled fresh fruits . . . then use the companion shell as a novel holder for the ice cream accompaniment. Guests help themselves, as they marvel at your ingenuity, and the colorful appeal of your creation. PINEAPPLE SHELL SALADS A LA MODE (Makes About 8 Servings) 1 fresh pineapple; fresh salad fruits, cubed (melon, ber- ries, etc.); 1 quart vanilla ice cream. Cut pineapple in hall lengthwise. Scoop out fruit; cube and combine with other fruits. Fill half pineapple with fruit salad and other half with scoops of ice cream. eet the man who does the milking your health depends on him ....your income may, too The man who does the milking—the indis- pensable dairy farmer—is a man we're all beholden to for fresh whole milk and all the other wonderful dairy foods. You know that dairy foods are essential. for healthful living. They supply the bone artd body-building,food values -growing children must have ... and adults need too. That's' why the health of you and your family depends on the dairy farmer. But did you ever stop to think how im- portant the dairy farmer's work is to Canada's economy .:. and to your own income? Look at it this way. One aut of every six Canadians depends on the dairy industry for his livelihood. When you buy , dairy foods, you help provide income for . the dairy farmer, and for more than 2 million other Canadians who work in dairies, farm equipment' companies, feed and fertilizer plants and many other in- dustries. These people in turn use their income to purchase foodand clothing, appliances, cosmetics, theater tickets, in- surance policies and other items common to the Canadian way of life. Now suppose Canadians changed their eating habits—began buying less milk and dairy foods. The dairy farmer would be first to feel the pinch. With his income reduced, he'd have to cut back his pur- chases of farm equipment, fertilizer, etc. Dairies, farm equipment manufacturers and feed and fertilizer plants would have to reduce wages—maybe lay off men. The purchasingpower of 2M million Canadians would be substantially reduced. Your in- come—even your job—might be affected. Naturally, such a calamity won't occur because Canadians -know the importance of dairy foods in their daily diet. By the same token, the more dairy foods you consume, the more the whole economy benefits. And this is an ideal time to help yourself to a large measure of these health• giving foods and a share in the economic progress of Canada. For June is the month of flush production on the nation's dairy farms. That's why Juno is Dairy Month. ACEY BROS. LTD. - •MIT1ELL -- ONTARIO belie' It's Always Better With BUTTER • • •!
