C. Blood, of the OVC Farm Service. The animal may live only 2 or 3 hours but if it lives beyond a day or two you can expect complete recovery. The symp- toms are frothing at the mouth and pain; the pupils of the eye dilate and the animal groans and grates its teeth. There may be rapid kicking and rigid ex- tension of the legs. Bloating frequently occurs. There is no effective treatment. But you can prevent it by fencing off wet areas containing water hemlock.

That is, we take some lovely natural resource and ruin it so that no one can enjoy it any longer. •I cite you the case of the Bayfield. River. Readers in other areas can all supply the name of their par- ticular ruined river, Twenty years, ago, that was a lovely little river. It had no economic value, except for watering farmers' - cattle; but in entertainment and aesthetic values it was inexhaustible. We caught fish in it, swam in it, picnicked beside it, skated on it. We rafted dawn it, feeling like Huck Finn. When, the ice broke up, we ,assisted by push- ing the big cakes off into the current, patriotically decorated with flags.. No matter what the season, the river had some- thing lovely and exciting to after, Well, you can't get away with that kind of thing! So when the enlightened burghers of the nearby towns installed sewage systems, they incon- tinently dumped the sewage in- to the river. Now it isn't a river, it's a sewer. It smells. The high fertility of the sewage has caused enormous growth, and the banks are choked with rank weeds. No one will ever picnic on its grassy edge again; no child will learn to swim in it; no one 'in his right mind would eat a fish caught in it. In the name of decency, can't , we find some better way to dispose of sewerage? Here in Ontario we have the most mar- vellous system of fresh-water lakes and rivers in the world, and they're all so full of sew- age that we have nowhere to swim. If this is an instance of our high standard of living, it's time we stopped patting our- selves on the back, and got our heads examined instead. Miles downstream from the last town, the river flows ;through a farm; I asked the 'farmer if it was clean enough to swim in, by the time it had travelled all those miles. Eloquently, he held his nose, "You couldn't even drown in it," he said, "You'd be poisoned first." personally, I don't want to hear 'another word' about the high standard of living in this country until a great batch of scholarships have been endow, ed to set large crews of stud- ents at work to find some sane method of sewage disposal. Every time I have to cross that river (no one goes near it deliberately any 'longer) I get a whiff of a stench proclaiming that this country still needs a lot of educating before it has enough sense of values to dis- tinguish a high standard of liv- ing from a shocking one, —VICKI FREMLIN. 0 Lobb Picnic . On Saturday, August 19, the Bert Lobb family held their third, annual picnic at the park in Bayfield. The picnic supper was served as a smorgasbord to the 51 members present. The president, Harold Lobb conducted a short business per- iod. Gordon MacFarlane was elected the president for 1962.

Huron County Sheep Winners at CNE' Best sheep at the .Canadian National Exhibition continue to be those from Huron ..County, and winners at Clinton Spring Show, Ephriann Snell showed the Leicester ,grand champion ewe and ram, with Emke Bros, of Elmwood showing the reserve F•rnhe Bros. also took top prizes in the Oxford breeds, The P. E. Dearing and Son farm, Exeter, walked off with the major prizes for Dorset Horned Sheep, Recently a fluid milk pro- ducer came to the Federation of Agriculture Office to obtain some information on the mark- eting agency plan for fluid milk. Unfortunately informa- tion is not available. At present a petition is be- ing circulated among the fluid milk shippers requesting a vote on a marketing agency plan. Since they are given no indica- tion as 'to how their milk will be marketed, this petition can only indicate the degree of dis- satisfaction with their present marketing methods. If sufficient farmers sign a petition the Whole Milk Pro- ducers League will draw up a detailed plan for the marketing of fluid milk, Since the producer of fluid milk is only receiving 12% cents . per quart for his milk that retails from 22 cents up and since custom pasturiziog and bottling has been recently done for 3 cents per quart for one of our smaller villages it would seem that producers are well justified in trying to im- prove the marketing of their product. Further there is a great deal of over-lapping in the transpor- tation of milk. Here again producers could effect real sav- ings through co-ordination of trucking services. Also, the producers of milk for cheese, butter and all other manufactured milk products are working on marketing ag- ency plans. If these two efforts can be united I can see the opportunity for great benefits. If they can not be united I fear that a division will take place that will be detrimental to the whole industry. The basic problem in the milk industry apparently, is the unavoidable . small -surplus pro- duction.-The cheese producers for many years have been con- tributing 'to an export fund to remove their surplus to main- :Gain a reasonable price at home only to find surpluses from other 'producers and even from Quebec reap equal benefits without contributing to the ex- REAR THE .LABELS SIMMS VAN POISON Read and heed the warning label on barn spray containers, cautions Dr, Howard Neely, ex- tension veterinarian at OW, Barn sprays .aren't meant to be. applied directly to cattle; it will make them sick and they could die, An affected animal will usually slobber and the eyes become swollen, Fre- quently the tongue hangs out of the mouth and the animal may shiver. .(101.1 -your veter- inarian immediately — he can give an effective antidote, port fund. At times this .has rendered the Ontario Cheese producers' efforts almost use- less., An aver-all milk marketing plan could take care of this average 2 percent surplus, Whether two separate Market- ing agencies can succeed re- mains to be seen, In closing just a few com- ments: I have been hearing rather too many complaints about Ca Ops. I don't mind discussing these problems but I feel that the place for discussion of these complaints is at the annual Applications for the position of Local Director of the Huron County Children's Aid Society will be received by the undersigned until Saturday, September 30, 1961.

I can only repeat that there is noth- ing wrong with your Co-Op that the members aren't res- ponsible for or can't correct: On a news broadcast, Agri- cultural Minister Hamilton st- ated that imports of US oats lowered the price 3 cents per bushel. Does this make you h appy? Thurs., Aug, 31, 1961----Clinton News-Recont Page 7 Beautiful But Is Bayfield River Smelly? Beautiful Bayfield River has provided drainage for much of Huron County's richest farm lands for many years. Also, the amount of fun which the youth of Clinton and Bayfield, and vacationing families by the hundreds over the years cannot be measured. The accompanying article by Vi Fremlin, native of Clinton, in the Farmer's Advocate, should make us ponder how much will be gotten from the Bayfield River in the future. (News-Record Photo) One of the things we're in- elbed to go on about, in this country, is our high standard of :living. When it comes to cars, television sets, and overeating, we rate with the best. In other respects, we're downright un- derprivileged. Consider education; in Rus- sia, 20 people out of every 1;000 attend a ,university, In, the US, it's 15 out of 1,000. But in the land of the free and the home, of the brave? Five per thou- sand.
