At County Jail Fire Alarm System Is Recommended GODERICH—"We are of the opinion that due to the age of the jail, little money should be spent on any renovations," the property committee reported to county council. "It is not just in proper con- dition as regards fire hazard," chairman Ivan Haskins remark- ed in speaking to the report. Huron County jail was built in 1840, and originally served two other counties of the Hur- on Tract — Bruce and Perth. Thus it is 14 years older than i the original courthouse, com- pleted in 1854. While presiding over high court here a few months ago, Mr. Justice Haines visited the jail and evidently communi- cated his views to the Ontario Fire Marshal. Correspondence with the county resulted. "We were to have had a meeting with the authorities from Toronto," Reeve Haskins said in his report, "but due to weather conditions this meet- ing has been delayed. We did concur in a recommendation of additional staff, and have engaged E. C. Bowers of Gode- rich as an additional turnkey. He commenced work December 7, Governor R. W. Bell pre- sented his statistical report, showing 187 commitals in 1963. Seventy-four of the offences have to do with intoxication, illegal consumption or posses- sion or other classifications re- lated to liquor; and that does not include disorderly conduct, obstructing police, etc. There were six persons in custody at the time of the report. Daily cost of rations per prisoner last year was 51.53 cents. In a property committee re- port on Thursday afternoon, chairman A, D. Smith referred to a grand jury presentment finding fire protection at the jail "still inadequate" and re- commending that an automatic fire alarm system be installed. . Weaning Weights Are Important It is a wise practice to re- cord the weights of feeder calves when they are weaned, because of their usefulness to a farmer in increasing beef pro- duction. Dr. T. D. Burgess, of the Animal Husbandry Department, O.A.C. Guelph, says that weaning weights are influenced by two factors, the ability of a calf to grow and its dams abili- ty to milk. "Since the cow's influence can overshadow the growth ability of the calf, weaning weights reflect the production rating of the cows in the herd," says Dr. Burgess. When records are kept and it is noted that a cow gives a light calf at weaning, that cow should be watched, as she is likely to produce light weight calves throughout her lifetime. Dr. Burgess advises that these cows should be culled from the herd. How keeping records of weaning weights of calves, and culling those cows producing light weight calves, will pay off for the farmer, is shown in the following example cited by Dr. Burgess. The use of O.A.C. records show that in a herd of 50 calves a range in weaning weights of 300 pounds is possible. This means that the low weight calv- es could weigh 200 pounds and top weight feeders could weigh 500 pounds at weaning. By re- moving 10 of the lowest weight calves and replacing them with 10 top weight feeders, the average difference between the calves replaced and the replace- ments is 200 pounds. There- fore, the 10 replacements brought an extra ton of beef to the herd. At market this ton of beef could easily be worth $500.00. "With this example in mind, the importance of weaning weights can be realized", says Dr. Burgess. E. Wawanosh Federation Directors Vote Grants The East Wawanosh Feder- ation of Agriculture directors met at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Simon Hallahan, with a good attendance. The president, Charles Smith, called the meeting to order. The minutes of the last director'smeetungwere read by the secretary, Simon Hallahan and adopted on motion of Peter de Groot and Elmer Ireland.

Elliott GODERICH—On estimates not yet complete, Huron Coun- ty road expenditure in 1964wi11 exceed $1,200,000, council learned in the report of the 1963 committee. A bylaw has been prepared for $700,000 normal expenditure, and the remainder will be provided for in a sup- plementary bylaw at the March session. Including development road expenditure of $538,986, pay- able by the Province, the gross total was $1,657,351. Submit- ted for subsidy were accounts totalling $1,062,007. "This may be the top figure;' said County Engineer James Britnell, who read the report. Last year's chairman, Dan Beuerman of McKillop, is not now in council. "With so much development road expenditure," Mr. Britnell said, "I do not see how it can be doubled again. Six years ago we were spending less than $600, 000, so the bud- get has been nearly tripled in that time." The report, adopted by ST. HELENS Mr. and Mrs. Fred McQuil- lin were recent visitors in Kit- chener with Mr. and Mrs. Barry McQuillin and Jill and Mr, and Mrs. Harold Scott. Mr. W. I.

Main item on the 1964 pro- gram is Road 16 from Brussels to Highway 4, eight miles. The complete 1964 program is to be submitted at next session. Two projects stand on the long- range program for 1965: Clin- ton west, 5.5 miles, and Nile - Dungannon, three miles. "Development road expendi- ture, met by the province, if done in the normal county pro- gram would represent 42 mills, or an increase of more than 50% over our existing 8 -mill levy," the report stated. "Without this development road aid the coun- ty would have no choice other than substantially increasing the road levy or removing many miles of road from our system." Biggest item in 1963 road construction was $141, 356 on Road 6, the St. Marys road be- tween Exeter and Kirkton. The Turnberry bridge cost $68, 565, and the Jervis bridge in Gode- rich Township $44, 046, besides $21, 773 for approaches to the latter.
