FIND TURKEY CROSS STRAINS
CAN REDUCE PRODUCTION COSTS
An attempt to lower the costs
of turkey production through
exploiting hybrid vigor is the
aim of a breeding program be-
ing conducted by the Canada
Department of Agriculture.
M. S. Mitchell, of the Poultry
Division, said a number of
breeders across Canada are co-
operating in this cross strain
protram.
Cross breeding programs in
swine, sheep and beef cattle
have shown general superiority
of the cross bred over the ptire
bred for size; growth rate and
feed conversion. Early results
of strain crossing turkeys also
indicate a superiority of cross
strains over pure strains.
The immediate objective is
to screen available strains for
combinability. The combining
strains will result in lower poult

costs, as well as increased meat
weight for sale.
In establishing a three-way
cross strain program, three
basic procedures are followed.
Females from one or more
strains are randomly distributed
into pens to be mated to males
of other strains. Secondly, at
least two hatches of first -cross
females should be obtained and
at maturity randomly selected
and distributed into pens to
produce three-way cross poults.
Thirdly, the males producing
the three-way cross should be
rotated among the types of first -
cross females.
This is a new approach to
turkey breeding in Canada, The
co-operation being shown by
breeders and the wide diver-
gence of strains available for
crossing will soon lead to the
development of superior com-
mercial poults available for the
Canadian turkey industry.
Huron EMO Co -Ordinator Designs County Position
Devoting Wednesday fore-
noon to ..‘hearing delegations,
members of Huron county coun-
ciI listened with sympathetic
attention to a trio representing
the Canadian National Institute
for the Blind. Two blind men,
assisted by School Inspector
James Kincaid, chatrman of the
district advisory bArd, walked
to the warden's desk and ad-
dressed council. They were Ed.
Wheeler, of London, field secre-
tary, and Bill Murdoch, assist-
ant. Mr. Murdoch announced a
new service to the blind in the
form of special recordings on
tape enclosed in cartridges or
cassettes.
Other reports heard were
those of the Children's Aid, jail
governor, county assessor, agri-
cultural representative, museum
curator, and the emergency
measures co-ordinator. The co-
ordinator, T. Murray MacDon-
ald, announced his resignation,
effective February 1. Later it
was Iearned that he has been
offered a post as E.M.O. zone
controller in Metropolitan To-
ronto, and intends to accept.
Though he "did not, elaborate
on the announcement of his
resignation, a part of his ire -
port evidently has a bearing.
He said: "We have made some
progress, but not as much as
could have been, or as there
should be in the coming year.
There is only one way emerg-
ency measures can be a suc-
cess. First, the office of co-
ordinator must be recognized
on an equal footing in every
respect with your other depart.
ment heads; second, your E.M.O.
must be regarded in the same
degree of importance and ne-
cessity as your other depart-
ments. Third, the co-ordinator,
department heads and you must
take an active part . When
the absolute ruler of a nation
of some 700,000,000 people has
the attitude that the killing of
150,000,00 would be nothing, I
suggest to you this should be
taken most seriously. Believe
me, Chou -an -Lai means exactly
what he says. We should not
ignore this threat."
Miss Clare McGowan, local
director of the Children's Aid
Society, brought to. council Miss
G. Wilkes and Mrs. E. Ross and
explained the nature of their
work. The former interviews
parents who wish to adopt a
child; Mrs. Ross investigates
complaints of child neglect.
Council Can Help
"These investigations," said
Miss McGowan, "are usually ex-
tremely difficult. The parents
being complained about are of-
ten hostile, furiously angry,
some even threateningly dan-
gerous. Cases that come to
court must be proved by ade-
quate evidence. This is a costly
business and often heartbreak-
ing. You can be a tower of
strength to any family in diffi-
culty in your community. These
people are often looked down
upon; their children teased and
made fun of."
In the protection fi4d, the di-
rector reported there were 69
cases last year, involving 239
children; There were 22 chil-
dren taken into care; 17 return-
ed to their own homes. Days
of care totalled 9,947. Thirty
children were placed on adop-
tion, and 49 adoptions ,,were
completed, including some chil-
dren placed by other societies.
Miss Mary Lou Stirling, coun-
ty
oupty librarian, reported a mem-
bership of 33 libraries, three de-
posit stations, four high schools
and 254 elementary schools, In
1962 there were added 2,256
books and 874 were discarded.
The new truck will be put in
operation in February.
Douglas Miles, county agri-
cultural representative, invited
council members to attend the
formal opening of the new of-
fices in Clinton, Jan. 21, at 2
p.m. The Ontario ministers of
agriculture and highways are
expected.
Herb Neil, Huron County Pio-
neer Museum curator, praised
the work of his assistant, Jas.
Chisholm, during the year. He
reported 22,262 visitors; a to-
tal of 6,000 articles in the
museum, including 400 added
this year. He recommended a
display of 600 articles at the
International Plowing Match in
1966, and suggested acquisition
