The local firm has been investiciating and\planning for the new machine, the first in this area, for five years, according to manager Archie Couper. (Staff Photo) (By John Miner) Farmers who take their beans or grain to the Hensall District' Co-operative may wait less time in line because of a new piece of equipment; one of the first in Ontario.. The Hensall Co-op has recently tnstallecl,a.•,systetn, that .411.0Y4 _farmer to simply dump his load on top of the previous one without waiting for it to be tested and cleaned. The new system involves the taking of as`sample from the loads as they come in. A probe automatically takes a sample all the way through the load in two or three different spots to get a cross-section. This is then sucked into, „the, „main, off e, througha - tube where the grain, or what- ever, is poured into a divider. One Lot-ne F‘Ils at B.C. convention . Mr. and Mrs, Lorne Fell, .R .R • 2, Staffa, attended the annual meeting of the Canadian' Seed Growers Association ,held in 0# Vancouver, recently. They flew from London to Vancouver and stayed at the Sheraton-Landmark Hotel where the meeting was held. Tallest building in Vancouver City,• the hotel is 42 stories high and features a restaurant at the, top, which revolves completely around• every hour. After the annual meeting they went by ferry to PUC want $15,000 loan Despite an earlier statement that they would be able to cover 0 the cost of the purchase of a dump ' truck,and-•a---back.lioe;-•the - Public Utilities Commission decided at their meeting.last Wednesday to request permission from town council to take out a loan of $15,000. "I thought we ) could afford this," said Mayor Betty Cardno when informed the Commission would need the money. "This commission is obligated to pay off any borrowing by the end of this. Year as our term ,is up," The PUC originally decided to buy a back-hoe and dump truck instead of renting them because they had a large amount of work which required their use while the sewers are being installed. PVC manager, Walter Scott, said that unexpected expenses had made it impossible for the PUC to pay' the bills without taking out a loan. Mayor Cardno told the Commission that debent- uring would be unacceptable. The PUC should be able to repay the loan before the end of the year, Walter' Scott said, provided that the Commission doesn't approve a lot of new connections and other capital expenses. • 'V The PUC- discussed the posSible sale cif, three lots on the end of Wells Street which have a total area cif 8,60 square feet. The Commission felt that they should advextise them for sale at a price of about $8,000. each and after they find a buyer seek the needed approval of Ontario Hydro for the• sale. The matter was tabled for the tune being, while lot prices were looked into. "There is no reason the PUC shouldn't get top dollar," said Walter Scott, manager. 4' ry SIDEWALK I SLABS 24" x 30" Grey 2.50 each SHINGLES I ASPHALT SELF SEALING INo. 1 - 210 lb. 8 colors. I 10 sq.
