ELLIOTT Huron Federation Secretary Back in the year 1040 hospital and health insurance was avail- able only through organized groups. This ieft the rural Peo- ple, retired People, self-em- ployed people, and unemployed people with* a plan to obtain any health insurance. Due to the urgent need for health protection for these peo- ple on an individual 'mats, the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture jointly with the Co-Opera- tive Union of Ontario petitipned the Ontario legislature for a special act under which could be incorporated county he al t h units. In compliance with the petit- ion the legislature enacted the prepaid medical service act. Under this act, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, nearly all counties in Ontario organized local units. These county units have grown to such an extent that the administration of them was transfered from the department of agriculture to the depart- ment of insurance. Under this department, the medical co- operatives are now licensed and are operating under their su- pervision and inspection. Up to 85% of all the farmers in some counties have been enrolled in their medical co-operative. ADD CHIROPRACTIC CARE "Now, in what is a precedent- making agreement in Canada", states Ted Schofield, provincial secretary, Co-operative Medi- cal Services Federation of On- tario, "we have contracted with the Ontario division of theCart- adian Chiropractic Association to provide chirpractic care for as long as some of the other breed organizations. I think I was the reeve who moved that motion," Mr, ,Brock: ,fl agree that urban repidenta are inclined to question these grants, but in this county the urban municipalitiep are iargely dependent on the welfare of the rural areas stir- rounding, and if yoU keep that rural area in a healthy con- dition you will find your urban centres will profit."

Concerning the amount of co- verage, Mr. Schofield announ- ced that "pre-existing condi- tions are covered and there is no restriction due to factors of health or age. Particular emphasis is being placed on the proviaiop of preventive care. As a case in point, we feel that a large number of the many spinal injuries happening each year could be avoided if proper at- tention is available to those per- sons who are susceptible to such injuries."

March session, on the subject of grants to breed associationa and rural fairs, was a deputation from Huron Holstein Club to eouncil's finance and executive commit- tee. This committee has before it an instruction to reviewthe sit, uation and "try to determine the need for all these grants," with a view to reporting there- on at the June or September session. Holstein Club president Wel- lington BrOck, of Granton, head- ed a delegation objecting to re- duction or elimination of breed association grants. Secretary W. Hume Clutton, RR 5, Goderich, emphasized that the cattle industry pro- bably yields more taxes to the county than any other. "County council is more de- pendent on taxes from the cattle business than we are for the $100 from county council," he said. "We would carry on in any event, but we would like to have county council recognize us to that extent." Other members of the dele- gation were Harold Gaunt, of Lucknow, second vice-presi- dent, and Vernon Hunter, also of Lucknow. Deputy-reeve May Mooney, of Goderich, chairman of the finance committee, was accompanied by Warden Walter J. Forbes,Goderich township; Reeve Ralph Jewell, Colborne; Reeve Ernest Talbot, Stanley; Reeve William Morritt, and Deputy-reeve William Mus- ser, Exeter. The debate in county council was initiated March 21 by Reeve Frank Walkom, Goderich, who said he saw no reason for grants to "monied groups," and that council should break away from it. Warden Forbes remarked that he had sometimes felt the same way. Clerk-treasure r Berry pointed out that "if we cut off all the grants, we will have all the organizations here at the June session." The Holstein breeders did not wait for the June session, but dropped in on the finance com- mittee May 21. at the court- house. President Brock asked Secretary Clutton to present their case. "This is addressed to county council rather than the com- mittee," he said. "I think county council has a wrong attitude to the breed organizations. The total to the five breed organiza- tions would amount to $87.50, and alongside our million-dol- lar road budget I would not 6.

Milling from the standpoint of im- proving quality but developing a further potential for revenue and taxes. "This Is a second time in a very few years when this penny- ante attitude has cropped up in county council. We do not know why, but perhaps through a lack of understanding of the importance of the clubs and a lack of realization that it is a privilege for county council to honor these clubs and recog- nize them with a grant." "Urban people ask why they shotild be giving a grant to breeders' organizations," said Mrs. Mooney. "In the first place," ex- plained Mr, Clutton, "it helps clubs to get started, and in the second place, most clubs are not in a position to carry on all the work they would like to do. In the past three years we have spent more money than we have taken in, and must curtail or find other ways of raising money." Mr. Clutton said there are 22 4-H clubs. Warden Forbes: "Most of the members are purebred breeders, and people think the association should be able to carry on its work." Mr. Clutton: "We carried on for a time by soliciting mem- berships, and it was a hardship to get the dollars. The Ontario Association now collects the memberships and gives us a dollar each." Warden Forbes: "There are 220 Holstein breeders; if they raised another 60 cents they would have it." Mr. Clutton: "County council would not have the privilege of honoring themselves by recog- nizing that work. Every time council gets higher income, you are getting a potential from cattle. What are you going to do with $100 - -add it to the m illion- dollar budget?" Mr. Forbes: "Everybody is kicking about the roads, and that is what we are faced with." Mr. Clutton: "What surprised us most in the county council discussion, it was mostly cattle owners, farmers, whoput up the kick." Reeve Jewell: "We started out to reduce across the board, and we cannot discriminate. What are the grants in Perth?" Mr. Clutton: "$100 or more." Mr. Forbes: "In Kent they cut it out completely, I understand, to all breed organizations. Peo- ple think we just come here to go to road conventions and hand out grants." Mr. Clutton: "We would be satisfied to have a small per- centage of the amount spent on road conventions." At request of Reeve Jewell, the clerk-treasurer looked up the grant totals: $5,000 under the head of education, $4,200 pa- triotic and $7,500 for agricul- ture, this latter including the county's contribution to the agricultural representative's salary, junior extension work and grants to fairs. "We were set up to review these grants, and it is only a recommendation to county council," Reeve Jewell pointed out. Mr. Clutton: "We have five meetings in the year, and the annual banquet Is the only so- cial affair, but they all cost money, and all are aimed to In- crease production and quality of Holstein cattle." Reeve Morritt: "The Holstein club has not received a grant Co.

Huron county high-class cattle, and also the most cattle of any eptintylnOn- tario, I think I am safe in saying the cattle industry in Huron yields the greatest amount. of revenue of any industry in Huron. Taxes come from re- venue, and I believe I am equally safe in saying the cattle industry yields more taxes to county council than any other in the county. Now it seems that this organization has become abur- den to county council, to the ex- tent of $87,50. "We owe gratitude to the pioneers of this county, pure- bred breeders, who br ought good cattle into the county and improved cattle to a very good standard of quality. In recent years this has been taken over more by the breedassociations, which keep working to improve the breeds they represent, both in quality and production, and I believe are doing this work faithfully and well. (Mr. Clutton was awarded, some years ago, a m a st er breeder's shield from the Hol- stein-Friesian Association). "Had it not been for the taxes produced by the revenue in cattle of this county, we would not today be meeting in this beautiful building, but one much smaller and of different appearance, and we would not have any million-dollar budget. "The breed organizations are not social clubs, but working clubs. The directors attend meetings and work at consider- able sacrifice. Some, going to a meeting in Clinton, will drive close to 100 miles there and back. Directors put their hands in their pockets and spend their own money, rather than charge it up to the club. "One thing that bothered me was the unfortunate publicity that Huron got from the dis- cussion in county council. It was publicized over a good deal of Western Ontario, and a man in Perth asked me, 'What is wrong with county council, from the way they are using the breed associations?' A Holstein field man for the 10 western counties had the same question. He said in other counties they recognize the value of the clubs and al- most automatically honor them with a grant." The grant as we have it -- $100 and in some cases $50 -- is hardly big enough to be call- ed a grant, but it is recognition, and we feel that recognition has some part in forwarding this very worthwhile work, not only OfigeLt', tive month set for the 4-H bred gilt sale at which one of each pair of gilts will be sold to repay the original cost of pur- chase. Swine breeders will deliver the gilts to the Seaforth fair grounds Thursday morning. During the afternoon, members of the committee, club leaders and personnel from the Huron agriculture office will sort and pair the gilts and record pedi- gree information. Draw and distribution of the gilts to members will begin at 7 pm. COME AND HAVE FUN ONLY NEW HOLLAND OFFERS THIS TEAM FOR BETTER FARM EFFICIENCY!
