No rate yet
at Usborne
Residents of Usborne township
should be receiving their first
1973 tax notices this week. The
tax rate has not yet been set but
an interim rate of 40 mills has
been imposed. This is one-half of
last year's total levy.
Payments on the first in-
stallment are due on June 30. Tax
collector Harry Strang said the
interim levy would bring in
$118,342.80.
The complete rate cannot be
set until the amount of the new
provincial equalization grant is
known. Strang said this is im-
possible until the 1972 financial
statement has been received.
The tender of Lee Jennison of
Grand Bend to supply, deliver
and apply 150 flaked tons of liquid
calcium on Usborne roads was
accepted.
The tender price is $54.40 per
flaked ton and is subject to ap-
proval of the Ontario Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
munications. •

spections.

Huron County pork producers,
or at least some of them, are
upset at the decision of the
Ontario Pork Producers
Marketing Board to move the
county's only hog assembly yard
from Clinton to Hensall.
In a news release last week, the
marketing board stated the
reason for the move had been
because of an increase in rent
desired by the new owner of the
Clinton Sales Barn, which had
been the old assembly yard. But a
large number of pork producers
turned up at the Huron County of
Agriculture meeting in Clinton on
Thursday night and indicated
they weren't happy with that
decision.
The producers, most from the
area north of Clinton, explained
that they now have to drive an
extra 12 miles to take their hogs
to market and they don't like it.
The marketing board had
provided figures which showed
that costs across Ontario for
assembly yards average 19.43
cents per pig. The old Clinton
cost was 19.02 but the new Clinton
cost would have been 27.95. Lorne
Tyndall, the new owner of the
Clinton yard was present and
disputed the figures saying they
included an increase in salaries
that he had not asked for. The
cost per pig at Hensall was given
as 19.39 cents per pig.
Several directors of the Huron
County Pork Producers
Association were present and
came under heavy questioning
about the decision, Eric Moore of
Colborne township admitted that
the Huron directors had been
given "no say what-so-ever" in
the matter.
Adrian Vos of Blyth said it was
an excercise in futility to con-
demn the board and suggested
instead that those who didn't
agree with the decision should go
out and take up a petition and find
out just how many hogs would be
effected, then ask for a second
yard in the county if the figures
warranted it.
Lloyd Stewart of Clinton said
that when the county association
directors inquired about the
reasoning behind the decision
they were told "it was none of our
business", The manner in which
the decision was forced upon
them made him wonder what the
purpose of the Huron association
was, he said.
John Van Beers complained
about the lack of rationality in the
situation of assembly yards, He
pointed out that in some areas of
Kent and Lambton counties
where there were few hogs
produced, there were yards only
10 miles apart that combined
didn't ship as many hogs a week
as the Clinton yard did in a single
day.
Mr, Stewart said Huron County
produces 200,000 hogs annually
but many do not go through the
county's single yard at Hensall
but go through yards such as the
one at Lucknow or at Harriston.
"I honestly believe there are
enough hogs produced to warrant
two yards" he said. Another yard
would help cut down on un-
neccessary travel for the hogs to
get to market he said,
A resolution was passed by the
meeting asking the Pork
Producers Marketing Board to
consider establishing a second
assembly yard in the northern-
central part of the county.
In other business at the
meeting, the problem of tran-
sporting wide machinery on
roads was discussed. It was
revealed that some farm
machinery is so wide there is no
legal way for it to be transported
from one work location to another
without taking it apart or putting
it on a truck. Special permits can
be obtained but these only cover
equipment up to 14 feet in width.
Huron Federation chairman
Mason Bailey pointed out that
this was becoming a problem and
stated that one Hullett township
farmer had already been charged
Several charged
at park, resort
The Ontario Provincial detach,
ments at Grand Bend and the
Pinery Park each reported
similar activities during the
week.
Each detachment laid 17
charges under the Highway
Traffic Act. At Grand Bend, .the
same number of persons face
liquor charges while Pinery
liquor counts totalled eight.
Two of the Grand Bend liquor
charges were for being in a public
place in a drunken condition and
one was for impaired driving.
Four motor vehicle ac-
cidents were reported in the
Pinery area and one at Grand
Bend, No injuries were incurred.
One person was arrested and
charged under the Narcotic
Control Act for possession of
marijuana by the Grand Bend
detachment and at the Pinery
Park officers evicted 12 persons
from provincial property for
various reasons.
PURSE FOUND
A ladies change purse was
found this week in Exeter. It is
now at the police station and may
be claimed by the owner upon a
proper description,
by police for having equipment
too wide.
Vince Austin of Dungannon
said he had been told by the
Ontario Provincial Police that
they were also going to start
cracking down on lengthy trains
of gravity boxes pulled by farm
tractors that do not uphold
regulations by having each
wagon attached to the tractor
with a chain.
' The controversy concerning
the proposal to locate a lagoon for
the Grand Bend sewage disposal
system in Stephen township was
also mentioned at the meeting,
Allan Walper and Orville Farrell
said after the meeting that 80
acres of good farmland would be
taken up by the lagoon which will
be situated on Mr. Farrell's
farm, Concerned citizens feel a
disposal plant would be a better
move, A meeting was scheduled
to be held June 13 to discuss the
matter,
Mr, Bailey told the meeting
that a campaign will be un-
dertaken in the near future to see
that all members of the
federation have stickers put on
their mailbox. Farmers will also
be asked to buy and use a stamp
to be used on all cheques which
states "These dollars derived
from farming". It is felt this will
help impress on people the im-
portance of farming to the
economy.
