• AUTOMATION IN MILK
PRODUCTION
"Dairy Automation and its ef-
fect on quality milk 'productien"
was the over-all theme Of a
two-day seminat held in Toronto.
The sessions, sponsored by Bab
son Bros. Co„ Manufaeturer of
Surge milking systems, ,Were
attended by, their dealers and
stiff of Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food. -
The meetings included discus-
sions on a variety of topics relat-
ing to the;future of the dairy in-
dustry.
Trends in herd size, labor and
production, sanitation and waste
management were covered 41 the
first day's program, as were 17ar-
ious types of milking systems,
and the growing use of welded
steel pipelines.
The WO Milker, a new auto-
matic milking machine, was the
subject of a special afternoon
session. The new milker is totally
automatic in, operation, once
attached to the cow. Electronic
circuits activated by Milk flow
start and stop the rn. liking action
and remove the machine from
each quarter of the cow's. udder
as the quarter is milked out.
Company specialistsstressed the
importance of this feature in pre-
venting over -milking off cows,
which can cause udder irritation.
Tests have shown that individual
quarters of the cow's udder can
vary in milking time as much as
50 per cent.
The second`day of the Dairy In-
sight Seminar included discus-.
along of the principals Of milking
machine operation, mastitis
problems, milk cooling , systems
and dairy .waste dispoSal.
During the second morning's
session reports were .giVen Ofl

CARE LABELLING
In a quandry over how to care
for that new spring outfit? Look
for the care label.
Manufacturers are encouraged
by the Department of Consumer
and Corporate Affairs which de-
veloped the system, to display the
symbols on •a permanently
attached label. Care labelling is
not compulsory, so look for it—do
not assume it will be there! If it is
not there, ask why.
The sytem 'is based on the
traffic light, color system—red
means stop - or don't; amber
means proceed with caution and
green means go ahead. There are
five basic symbols to indicate
washing, bleashing, drying, iron-
ing and dry cleaning.
So, a yellow wash tub with a
hand inside means that the arti-
cle is hand washable in lukewarm
water, a green drying square
with three short vertical lines
means the article should be hung
to drip dry. Follow your care
label instructions, and much of
the shrinking, stretching and
running colors will.be eliminated.
As well, legislated change is
coming into effect with regard to
abelling textiles as to fibre eon-
° t nt in standard, easy-tomIder-
stand terms. It will also beth the
name of the manufacturer. This
will eliminate much Of the contu-
sion caused by the many trade
names now on the market and
will make it easier for consumers
to care for their fabric articles
For example, when the law
comes fully into effect, a blanket
may carry a • label stating "65
per cent cotton, 35 per cent
rarorti‘a". free color Nokia "Care
Labelling for Textiles", write to
the Consumeri, bolt 09, Ottawa.

the 130 -year-old jail sits on a
site Which originally cost the
MtInitipality about $500. The
Wilding itself cost $23,0'72 when
conStineted in 1841.
Ita tOnStruction was part of a
deal With the government of the
PrOVince of Ontario, which pass-
ed legislation setting up an ad -
ares comprising
HUron‘atid some townships now
in *nee and Perth.
William Day of Goderieh, With
the tender, got the build-
eentrut. He erected stone
walls two feet thick from the
Maitland River quarry and when
better stone wasitequired for the
copings, Dan Lizars was dis-
patched to Port Huron to nego-
tiate with the quarry there.
A chapel was thoughtfully pro-
vided in the central tower, but
when it was found there was no
money for construction or' rental
of a courthouse, the chapel was '
assigned to the judges.
The Canada Company, owner
of 1,100,000 acres in the , &OM
Tract, granted the jail site, and
the directors in London approved
a loan of 1,300 pounds toward con-
struction.
The ex chapel on tbetop floor of
the jail was soon in disfavor with
visiting judges, who complained
of the awkward access and jail
odors. They moved to hold court
in the dining room of the British
Exchange Hotel.
By late spring of 1841, almost
everyone in town and surround-
ifig area had visited the new jail

an order to keep visitors out. Tliis
order continued in effect for 130
years, until the county opened the
jail to the public in February of
this year.
The old jail has been pointed to
by various hiStorical architeets
as the only one of its type left in
.North America and possibly the
world. The Save the Jail Society •
hopes that throu0 tontlinling
negotiations with the County of
Huron an&the 'Province of Ow
tarso the structure can be saved ,
