In tests with Leghorns at the farm it was found that both egg production and shell qual- ity improved when calcium con- tent in the ration was increas- ed to three per cent from the recommended 2.25 per cent. He points out that in a large egg there are 2.25 grams of calcium and that the hen can use only half of the calcium consumed to make the shell. Therefore, he adds, at 80 per cent production a hen must consume 3.6 grams of calcium daily. This means that the calcium level must be about three per cent for hens consuming feed cium in their rations. at the rate of 27 pounds per 100 birds each day. . Limestone or oystershell should be made available to the birds when there is any doubt about the level of cal - What about too much cal- cium? Chancey is reassuring on this point. He says there does not appear to be any danger of hens eating too much of it and he points out that a ration containing six per cent calcium did not cause any trouble. Kippen Girls Hold First Meeting The first meeting of the new Kippen girls' club, "Being Well Dressed and Well Groomed," was held Saturday at 2:30 at the home of the leader, Mrs. Verne Alderdice. The new as- sistant leader for this club will be Mrs. Ross Forrest. There are 15 members taking this club. Officers elected were: Presi- dent, Catherine McGregor; vice- president, Deanna Forrest; pian- ist, Lois Jackson; press report- er, Dianne Stoll; treasurer, Hel- ma Van Loon. The group decided to have a floating secretary, and for this meeting Grace Riley was the secretary. The club books are going to be white with green letters. Mrs.. Alderdice told what to have in the sewing box. Samples of material and pat- terns were passed around. Dur- ing this project the group will make a duster and slippers.

Earlier Teaching He said that the same maths taught at a university graduate level four years ago is now in some cases being taught. to freshman classes, Prof. McLean. 'said new pro- grams have been tried at high school level and currently 20,- 000 Ontario grade nine students are studying maths on the "new approach." Prof. McLean said that with predicted revisions much of. the work being done in grade 13 will be covered in lower grades. "At the ' moment grade 13 mathematical courses for. the future are nebulous," he said; He predicted that grade ip, work will not be as present, teachers know it. He said work in calculus would be started. A difficulty in speeding in- troduction of the new courses was lack of qualified teachers. The meeting was attended by W. G. Nediger, head of the SDHS math department; Archie Dobson and William Murdie, of the SDHS staff. Mr. Nediger. arranged the program for the London meeting, and was chair- man for the meeting. -FUNERALS es and culverts and $373,320 on maintenance. Total expenditure eligible for subsidy was $1,065,- 054; actual outlay $1,229,115. The cost of land purchase is increasing, Reeve Webb noted. (Cost is $400 to $450 an acre, the engineer said later.) A long- range program adopted by coun- cil in 1962 requires acquisition of considerable property this year and next. "Cost of this extra land, plus the cost of land for our devel- opment road from Brussels north to Highway 86 places a severe financial burden on our 1963 construction budget," the chairman said.

Everyone Welcome Sponsored by C.W.L. hangs sult in a smaller road construc- tion program than normal for this year only, unless addition- al county funds are available. "We recommend that the - levy for highway purposes re- main at eight mills for 1963, and request that any surplus in the general account as a result of the 1962 surplus in highway account be assigned for high- way purposes in 1963. "A bylaw has been prepared expropriating land adjacent to County Road No. 4 from Credi- ton to Khiva to provide for con- struction in 1963 in accordance with our long-range plan." Pay More Often Reeve Dan Beuerman, of Mc- Killop, chairman of this year's road committee, brought up :the matter of more frequent instnl- n}ents on provincial subsidy up- on approved work. There 'are now two payments, one to Aug- ust and then a final payment. Reeve Beuerman pointed out that municipalities have to bor- ro4'at a burdensome cost. Sec- onded by Reeve Ralph Jewell, of Colborne, he moved that the county "request the Minister of Highways to consider making interim payments on subsidy twice a year, with a final pay- ment at the end." The motion was carried, and copies will be circulated. Reeve Jewell presented the report of Huronview board of management, in which he said arrangements have been made with the welfare department to on all employee pay subsidy ee p y benefits. This, he estimated, would save the county about $2,000 a year. At the June session in.4962,. the Huronview committee re- ported concern with the condi- tion of the roof of the 1954 addition. It said: "We have been advised that we need a new roof. This matter was re- ferred to the bonding company. The bonding company recom- mended that we engage .a con- sultant and this has been dobe. The consultant is Wyndham J. Freeman Ltd., and his 'fee for the report will be $500. Fur- ther action will be taken after the report is received." ' The matter is far from dos- ed. The committee now reports as follows: "In connection with the roofing problem on the 1954 addition, we have investigated this matter in great detail. We have discussed the problem with Snider, Hugst & Partners, architects. We met with Mr.. Snider and with the county solicitor and it would appear from the information received that we do not -have sufficient evidence to present a claim in this connection. We have en- gaged architects to review the situation and report on the cost of ventilating the air space and also possibly the insulation." Reeve Jewell retires as cnair- man and is succeeded by Reeve Cliff Dunbar, of Grey. 187 Patients At Huronview H. C. Johnston, superintend- ent of the county home, said its operation has 'become "big business." There are 70 full- time employees, three part-time and 187 patients. "If a town were to receive an industry . employing that number," he said, "it would think it quite important. Our salary list is $125,000, 'and we spent for food last year $38,000.
