"It was one of the most stimulating dinners I can re- call, with the whole gambit of African and black-white prob- lems being discussed with a candour that was invigorating. All of these men were college graduates and very well read. I was the only white," Mr. Shaver noted that dur- ing his visit to Ghana, 105 Can- adian University Service Over- seas Volunteers arrived, with little publicity. "These people do a big job for next to nothing and people in both Ghana and Canada should be made aware of their unselfish efforts. I took advan- tage of the occasion to tell the Ghanaians what Canada was do- ing, " he said. Eighty-five of the volun- teers will teach in secondary schools, teacher training col- leges and technical schools. The rest include nurses and la- boratory technicians, and all are on a two year tour of duty. Howick Township council meeting Howick Township Council agreed to notify J. G. Berry to purchase any unsold land at the adjourned tax sale, when Reeve Harold Robinson chaired the September session.

Donald McQ. Shaver, presi- dent of Shaver Poultry Breeding Farms Limited, Galt, was among the guests at the key turning ceremony at the Porn- adze Hatchery, a part of the Ghana Poultry Project. His company has played an import- ant role in assisting the govern- ment of Ghana in the design and development of this project, and the Shaver breeding stock flown from Canada is being used to produce commercial chicks for the poultry industry of Gha- na. In a letter to members of the headquarters staff in Galt, Mr. Shaver said: "This was a unique occasion for the whole concept of pro- ductive, long term foreign aid. I was guest of honor. The cere- mony was brief but impressive. A number of ambassadors were present, including those from Togo, Bulgaria, Czechoslovak- ia, Ethiopia and Egypt. Mr. J. E. G. Nunoo, a member of the five man National Libera- tion Council and commissioner of Ghana Police, officially opened the hatchery while the Ghana Police Band played the national anthem." In his remarks to the audi- ence Mr. Shaver said, "This project is a testimony to the vision of the planning staff and a reward for the tenacity with which they labored, in a transi- tionary period of their country's evolution. For the future it represents a break-through in protein food production that will make available to the masses, eggs arid poultry meat at prices they can afford." The hatchery is one of the largest in Africa, with a capa- city to hatch 10 million chicks annually. "Thus it is that soon, ample eggs and poultry meat at cheap prices will become avail- able to the Ghanaian worker," Mr, Nunoo said. He said the country will now be in a posi- tion to produce all the chicks it requires, and the hatchery cost will be amortized over a five year period, even if it on- ly operates at 50 per cent ca- pacity.

Wingham Feed Mill WINGHAM, ONTO DiAL 3514060 CN) FERTILIZER SERVICE FERTILIZER SERVICE Pig anemia is one of the most common and the most easily corrected problems of pig production. Anemic pigs are Unthrifty, They become a ghostly white color, particular- ly in the ears, and they "thump" with short gulps of breath. The problem is chiefly caused by a lack of iron, according to On- tario Department of Agriculture and Food livestock experts. Pigs are born with a limited supply of iron and copper. Milk is low in these elements and un- less pigs have access to a supply from outside sources, anemia will develop in the first two to three weeks of life. Common sense must be used when treating to prevent anem- ia. The most effective means of treatment is to give the young pigs a supply of iron at about three or four days of age, either by mouth or by injection. Iron materials such as ferrous sulfate or reduced iron can be given directly by mouth. Some success has been obtained by mixing iron compounds with feed and spreading the mixture lightly on the' floor for the pigs to cat, Continuous treatment up to weaning is necessary. In- jectable irons will do a good job of anemia prevention. Fol- low the manufacturer's direc- tions, If leak out is a problem from injection, then use a smaller needle such as No. 21, 3/4-inch long. Make sure the needle and syringe are sterile before use. Feeding iron to sows will not increase the iron content of the sow's milk enough for anemia prevention. Pigs might get some iron from milling about in the sows' feces, but not enough for anemia prevention so this is largely a hit and miss treatment. The joy of conservation is that after you've scared the liv- ing daylights out of yourself reading about air pollution, water pollution, overcrowding and 37 different and imagina- tive ways for the human race to kill itself out, you can return to the delights of all the lovely things that conservationists are trying to save and trying to create. The peaceful and renewing beauty of the wilderness, with rivers full of trout and woods full of deer .., the. delight of a city which combines an im- aginative use of a clean water- front area, the best architect- ure our designers can create and green parks with flowers and places to play ... nature reserves where city and suburb- an children can come to learn of their roots in the world of living things . lakes blue for swimming and air clear for breathing ... these are the joys of conservation. But cheering and inspiring as the beauty of nature is, the thing that really makes conser- vationists into optimists is that "science is on our side." It isn't just airplanes and as- tronomy that are making us realize that the earth is only a tiny ball in space: biologists are also showing us that as liv- ing creatures we are complete- ly dependent upon nature -- on the thin crust of living things that coats our ball in space and makes it so beautiful and mir- aculous. Mankind is becoming powerful enough to tamper with nature all over the globe, to kill all the other living things that don't suit his fancy, to pollute the earth until it could actually become unfit for hu- man habitation, And where would we go then from our lit- tle ball in space? Science can show us ways of recycling our wastes so they work for us; it can show us how to work with nature for the good of humanity rather than des- troying nature for short-term goals.

Rep. for Huron Weather conditions have been very favourable for the harvesting of white beans. On the average, bean yields ar pear lower this year, The range reported is from 10 to SO bushels per acre with many fields yielding from 18 to 20 bushels per acre. The hot dry days along with frost free nights are needed for the further maturation of corn and some white bean crops. Little frost damage has occur- red except to some corn in North Huron and a few low ly- ing acreages elsewhere. A large percentage of the winter wheat crop has been planted with some fields start- ing to green up. Plowing has become very difficult as a result of the dry weather. A large acreage of good quality aftermath hay has been stored during the dry weather. Pastures are beginning to de- cline in production. Want to know what to do with leftover mashed. potatoes? Add the potatoes (about one cull to a slightly beaten egg and a - bit of grated. onion, Shape In. to flat patties and brown on both sides .in hot fat.

BY JAMES WOODFORD Woods, waters & wildlife To do this the knowledge of science must be used with a wisdom which builds and cre- ates rather than destroys. Does the human race have this kind of wisdom? Who knows? May- be -- the technological revolu- tion is still very young, and we are still in a period of transi- tion. But we need wisdom quickly, because we are destroy- ing and polluting nature at an unbelievably fast rate. If fertilizer, plant spray or insecticide gets into your eyes, flood them with water immed- iately for approximately 15 minutes. Hold your face under the tap or pour cool water from a bottle. Do not use an eye cup. Chemical burns should be examined by a doctor as soon as possible says the CNIB.
