The storm of past week
brought out the co-operation
and good will of the people
when 300 or more children,
teachers, bankers, truck drivers,
those employed in village were
billeted in homes and the-school.
The bad luck of Mr. Bill
Watkins, Bartliff bread truck
driver was a blessing in disguise,
as it supplied baking to the
village. One half of community
was without hydro, so had no
heat or water for 21 hours.
Children were all returned to
their homes by Friday noon by
school buses and snowmobiles.
The snowmobiles had a rise in
popularity for the ready
response of their owners to
people in need.
Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Alexander returned home on
Friday from enjoying six weeks
holiday in Arizona.
A helicopter responded to a
call from Mr. Jack Armstrong on
Sunday to repair hydro.
There was no church on
Sunday, January 31 on account
of storm and will be none
February 7 as Rev. McDonald is
on holidays.
The Berean unit of U.C.W.
will hold their meeting February
9, at 2 p.m. at the home of Mrs.
Bert Shobbrook.

Worst storm in 31 years
hit area last week
The worst storm in 31 years
hit this locality last week
according to Charles Scott,
mailman on R. R. 2, Auburn
who spent from Tuesday to
Friday last week marooned at
the home of Nelson Culbert.
His helper, William Wagner
was with him.
Andrew Kirkconnell and
Warner Andrews, taking R. R. 3,
Auburn, were stranded at
Carlow until Thursday.
Many local residents were
unable to get doors open and
one had to take the screen out
and climb out to shovel.
All elementary school
children were billetted in
Londesboro until Thursday
noon. Dozens of men and
women had to remain where
they were employed until
Friday.
Several bread bakers in the
village were pressed into service
and one lady made over 50
loaves on Saturday. One of the
local storekeepers sent
snowmobile drivers to pick up
the much needed necessity of
life and deliver to the customers.
Forty-five area beef farmers,
28 from Huron County, took
part in a 2-day feedlot
management course last
Wednesday and Thursday,
January 20th and 21. The course
was held at Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology, Huron
Park, and was sponsored by the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food.
In welcoming the farmers to
the local College, J. A.
MacDonald, Principal, noted
that new technology is changing
the farm scene so rapidly that
farmers must continually
up-date their information. This
was the purpose of this course.
Lead-off speaker, Dr. Bob
Curtis of the Ontario Veterinary
College, Guelph, outlined the
procedures that should be
followed in bringing new cattle
into a feedlot. He felt that
farmers should be demanding
pre-conditioned calves from
Western Canada but the strong
market for calves doesn't
encourage 'many Western
ranchers to do this. Dr, Curtis
WINTER CARNIVAL
DANCE
also advised that the farmer and
his veterinarian should form an
alliance — a herd health program
— to combat health problems in
the feedlot.
A feed formulation workshop
was • conducted by Stan
Paquette, Associate Agricultural
Representative for Huron and
Doug Jamieson, Head Livestock
Division, Centralia College. The
latest information on the
nutrient requirements of beef
cattle and the nutrient
composition of common
feedstuffs was discussed. David
Beattie of the Livestock
Division, Ridgetown College of
A gricultural Technology
outlined the need for protein
supplements and how these can
be supplied by treating corn
silage with urea and Pro-Sil,
This session ended with the
farmers evaluating the nutrient
adequacy and cost of their own
rations.
A lively workshop developed
on the topic of feedlot
economics presented by John
Stephens, Head of the Farm
Business Management Division,
Centralia College. Many feedlot
operators found that the large
investment in feedlot facilities
and feed storages was increasing
production costs and lowering
profits dramatically. However,
several indicated that these
facilities were needed or they
could not remain in the beef
industry.
Allan Boswell of the
Economics Branch, Canada
Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, painted a bright future
for beef producers. He noted
that beef consumption per
capita as well as the human
population continues to
increase, Several factors point to
the restocking of beef cow herds
in Western Canada and this
should lead to more and cheaper
feeder ealves. He predicted that
fed cattle prices wouldremain
neat the present level for the
next year or two.
At the course banquet,
Graerne Hedley. Secretary
Heart attack is the largest
single cause of death in Canada,
killing more than 50,000 persons
each year.
Manager of the Ontario Beef
Improvement Association
brought producers up to date on
Association activities. lie
reviewed the development of
Canfax, a telephone market
information service now
available to beef producers
subscribers across Ontario.
Huron was the first county in
Ontario to set up this service,
Dr. Ron Usborne, head of the
Meat Science Section of the
Department of Animal Science,
University of Guelph talked on
the development of a new
grading system for beef
carcasses. The drafted proposals
will be presented later this
winter to the Meat Packers
Council and the Federal
Government. The concept of the
proposed system is to place
higher value on heavily muscled
carcasses which carry little
trimmable fat,
A local feedlot owner,
Clarence Hardy of Lucan also
participated in a panel discussion
on beef marketing.
Assisting in the planning of
the course were Stan Paquette,
