The cost of NOT treating a
dairy heifer for warbles is
estimated at $48. That's the
conclusion of a study con-
ducted last fall by members
of Dairy Herd Improvement
staff. Complete information
was obtained on 235 pairs of
heifers distributed
throughout Ontario, Treated
heifers averaged less than .2
grubs per head. Untreated
herdmates averaged 7.6
grubs. Thus the products
used destroyed 97.5,71 of the
grubs present in the treated
animals. No differences
were observed in the three
control products: fenthion
(Spotton) and trichlorfon
(Grubex and Coop Warble
Killer).
How do we arrive at the
$48.00 loss? Well, the treated
heifers gained 9 18 faster
than the untreated ones, A
9 7, reduction in growth over
two consecutive years in-
from Paris who discovered
the cause of Down's Syn-
drome and said that within
10 years there's absolutely
no doubt in his mind that a
cure will be found!
The annual meeting and
pot luck supper will be held
on Tuesday, November 13,
beginning at 6:45 p.m. at St.
James Anglican Church,
Stratford and the main
speaker will be from Bir-
thright,
Roberta Mortley of Exeter
was the highest loser during
a "Challenge to Change
Day" for TOPS (Take off
pounds sensibly) at St,
Mary s Arena Saturday. She
has lost 77 3/4 pounds,
Mrs. Myrtle Iredale of St.
Marys-Area captain for
TOPS and Flo Anna Clark of

were the TOPS inc.
executive present for the
Rally,
The area takes in the
counties of Elgin, Perth,
creases the age at which
heifers reach a suitable
calving weight and size by
approximately one month.
The cost of delayed breeding
of a lacating cow has been
estimated to cost $1,60 per
day. Thus, we have a $48.00
loss for every untreated
heifer. The study points out
the necessity of treating
dairy heifers. 581. of the
untreated heifers were in-
fested with an average of
13.2 warble grubs.
We won't make progress in
eliminating this pest if we
treat only beef animals.
Lactating cows and dry
animals within 3 to 7 days of
freshening should NOT be
treated.
Next Year'sweed control
Make a start on next
year's weed control now.
Make a note of problem
weeds as you harvest or
plow. Take an example for
identification, if you don't
know it. This winter make
appointments with your
extension and agribusiness
people and get a program
that will catch any weeds
that are escaping from your
regular program.
Delegate your soil testing
Soil test at least two fields
if you haven't had ,one in
recent years. You need to
know whether potash values
are going sky high from
heavy manure application or
whether your soil is being
depleted by three cuts per
;;,,t

Saturday, 230 people
registered for the day.
Morning activities in-
cluded a workshop for

As owner-operator, you
won't likely make time for
this job. Why not delegate it
to your school age son or
daughter and then talk it
over together when the
result comes back. It's an
interesting project for a
youngster. It just might
provide some incentive to
get more involved in the
farm operation,

Tuckersmith township
council's proposal to build a
quarter of a million dollar
addition to the Vanastra
recreation centre is being
offered stiff opposition by a
group of township
ratepayers.
At a public meeting held
Thursday night at Heather
Gardens, Vanastra, 39 of the
55 ratepayers at the meeting
voted against having the
addition built. None voted for
the addition and seven ab-
stained.
Diane Durnin, recreation
director of the centre placed
a proposal before Tucker-
smith council about a year
ago, suggesting an aquatic
and fitness program for
people who would not fit into
a regular program.
She suggested that the
council apply for a Canada
Works grant available to
provide recreation for
special needs. A condition to
receiving the Canada Works
grant was that the centre be
renovated to accommodate
physically handicapped
persons, wheel chair cases
who would be involved in the
program.
To make a washroom
accessible to a person in a
wheel chair it meant that two
of the washrooms would
have to be used to make one
room.
Cutting down on the
number of washrooms would
reduce the total capacity of
the auditorium in respect to
the requirements of the
Liquor Control board.
Mrs. Durnin proposed that
larger exercise rooms,
activity rooms and change
and shower rooms would be
practical to be done too, and
the need for an addition
seemed to be the solution.
Haugh. Carol Anne Smith
played two piano solos.
Speaker for the evening
was Corporal Bill Wilson
from Goderich. He showed a
film entitled "Senior
Power". He also distributed
pamphlets on how to protect
yourself and a most avid
discussion followed. Alma
Morlock thanked Corp.
Wilson for coming.
The meeting was turned
over to president Jane
Dearing for the business
portion. Lunch was served
by Gladys Wein, Thelma
Finkbeiner, Alma Davey and
Gloria Martin.
The November meeting
will be at the 4-Way Inn, at 7
p.m. for a supper. For
reservations and meal
choice, please contact any of
the November programme
committee.

Area highest pre-teen loser
was Christine Batlike of

day was Florence Craig of

Proently using the centre
under the Special Needs
recreation program are 240
persons registered and these
include mainly mentally
handicapped, mentally
retarded and develop-
mentally handicapped from
such centres as Goderich
Group Home for the Men-
tally handicapped, Arc
Industries of Dashwood and
Bluewater Centre for the
developmentally handicap-
ped. Included as well, are
some senior citizens from
Huronview and area nursing
homes, some physically
handicapped such as
strokes.
Mrs. Beverley Eisler of
Egmondville pointed out
these were only three wheel
chair cases from Tucker-
smith out of the 240 cases and
questioned Tuckersmith
residents having to pay for
all the others from outside
the township,
Only two township officials
attended the meeting - Clerk
Jack McLachlan and
Councillor Bill Brown, who
with his wife, voted against
the addition.
The main objection
seemed to be that the centre
has a debenture debt now of
$119.00 and adding a further
debt was not warranted, and
that operating costs might
not break even, adding
additional debt. Clerk
McLachlan pointed out that
grants, if approved would
cover about 78 percent of the
cost of the addition.
Questioned if the groups
using the facilities would
sign guarantees they would
continue using the facilities
the clerk replied that
government agencies never
guarantee such things, as
their money is dependent on
available government
money.
Presently the taxpayers of
Vanastra are responsible for
all debts pertaining to the
Vanastra recreation centre.
However, at a previous
meeting protesting the
addition,. Reeve Ervin
Sillery and Deputy-reeve
Robert Bell indicated they
wanted these spread across
the whole township.
As the meeting chairman
Harvey Hammond outlined
the beginning and growth of
the centre and he said if the
addition is added "we could
have a complex even too
large for the whole town-
ship". He added hewould -be
more in favour if the county
would look at it.
Vince Fowlie, a former
Tuckersmith Township
councillor explained that
when the Vanastra residents
signed a petition asking for
the recreation complex to be
established' in 1974, the
township council passed a
by-law creating Vanastra as
a recreation area and
responsible for all the costs
of the complex.
He advised that to protect
the interests of the residents
that the township council
have the by-law removed. He
suggested a better way to
stop the addition would be to
have an injunction served
against the township. •
Doris Wilson, one member
of the nine members
representing the Vanastra
Community association,
(they voted against the con-
struction of the addition)
questioned, if Vanastra
residents are footing the bills
why do they not have the
right to run it? We don't want
that building." The chair-
man assured her that council
centre.
Terry
right to run the ntre
Terry Hussey of
Egmondville remarked that
under the plan of subdivision
the township could have
demanded from the
developer certain lands
and buildings.
Chairman Hammond said
that mistakes were made by
a council not familiar with
the situation and at Vanastra
"We were a brand new
community."
Clerk McLachlan said only
one additional person would
be hired for the expected
influx of members with the
addition, so that would not
increase costs. He said the
groups sending the people
for the pool sent along staff
to look after them. With
grants and additional people
he said "we should break
even".
Bill Embling of Vanastra,
who formerly worked at a
recreation centre in
Brampton, said pools do not
brews. even but lose money.
He smid the money from ice
rental supported the pool at
Brampton. The elerk said
the auditorium and day care
helped to support the
Vanastra pool,
One man asked what
Clinton received this year for
recreation from Tucker-
smith and was told ;500. He
said Clinton should be asked
to pay for their citizens who
use the pool and other ser-
vices,
Clerk McLachlan said he
thought other communities
I would be asked to pay their
users' percentage in the
future. Speaking of grants
available for construction,
he said if the government is
foolish enough to put that
kind of money into it, then I
think we are foolish not to
take it.
Mrs. Harvey Hammond
said consideration should be
given to government cuts
and cited hospital cuts and
nursing home cuts. She said
hospitals can't afford to hire
new nurses.
Vince Fowlie stated, I
don't believe the people are
here to discuss operation but
are you going to block the
addition?" The vote was
taken.
The chairman asked that it
be a hard-fought but a fair
petitioning. When he
requested volunteers to do
the petitioning, which will
call for people to sign either
for the addition or against it,
many people eagerly agreed
to work.
Businessman Bruce Rath-
well asked: "Can we ap-
proach council to make them
come to a decision on the
$119.00 debentrure, that is
now held by Vanastra, to be
spread over all taxpayers of
Tuckersmith.
This would break down the
barrier between Vanastra
and the rest of the people in
the township, to make all the
taxpayers work together as a
unit, rather than splitting the
community as it is at
present?"
Mr. Rathwell suggested
council should do this to
work for the community and
forget the addition.
