REMEMBER TO VOTE ON DEC. 2 Report From Queen's Pa Morton Shulman (DP, High Park) detailed What he called corruption in the Seafarers Inter- national Union of Canada last week during a budget debate in the Legislature, and urged the Ontario government to call a Royal Commission inquiry into violence on the waterfront. Dr. Shulman said he had spent six months investigating what he called the abuses and beatings in- flicted by SIU thugs on dissident members of the shipping union. After the SIU negotiated a set- tlement with the Great Lakes Shipping Association last April many union members opposed the settlement and were coerced into accepting it. Union members who refused were beaten, fired or prevented from getting * job be- cause "the SIU and not the ship- owners control the waterfront," according. to Dr. Shulman, ulth'1Ean, Dr. Shulman, said he has a. affidavits from SIU mem who came to his office askinghina; to intercede to stop the beatings 0--V-0 E The Community Recreati0lit Centres Act received spm reading last week.

Five new residents were wel- comed to the Home on Monday afternoon: Mrs. Taylor, Cen- tralia; Miss Scott, Wingham; Charlie Coultes, Belgrave; Brown and Bob Smyth of Dun- gannon.

Dairy planningguesswork eliminated by feed tests For years, agricultural experts have invited farmers to help themselves to feed tests. "However, some farmers send samples in for testing, but do not find out how the results could affect the production, repro- duction and health of their herd," says H. J. Clapp, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food dairy specialist: "Yet if the results of chemical analysis are translated into action, they. can eliminate most guesswork from dairy ration planning." To get the most benefit from a feed test, Mr. Clapp recommends that farmers send a represent- ative sample made from ten different portions of the same feed. The amount of each feed OPP seek owners of stolen cattle Ontario Provincial Police in Lindsay recently seized 33 head of cattle from a pasture farm in Mariposa Township. These valuable cattle had been obtained by means of false pre- tences and rustling from live- stock sales barns and farms throughout Ontario. A number have been returned to their own- ers, including one animal worth almost $10,000, owned by Wat Cha Farms north of Mount Forest. Eight Herefords, eight Charo- lais and seven cross -bred Charo- leis remain unidentified. Anyone who has lost cattle fitting this description, should contact their nearest Ontario Provincial Police detachment or call Lindsay OPP Detachment at (705) 324-6741. given to cattle daily should be included and samples should be completely identified. Because _changing weather and soil fer- tility levels affect feed value, samples should be tested every year. Help from district or, county agricultural offices is readily available for the farmer who does not know what his feed analysis results • mean in terms of balancing a ration. All he need do is contact the agricultural office in his county when his results arrive. If the farmer is feeding a complete haylage ratio; the calcium level will probably be high but his feed may be short of phosphorus, magnesium, copper, and zinc. A complete hay and corn silage diet may also be short of magnesium and zinc, as may a complete corn silage diet. "In fact, many dairy rations in On- tario during 1973 were short one- third of an ounce of magnesium a day," says Mr. Clapp. "When feed tests reveal defi- ciencies, the agricultural representative is able to recommend the proper supple- mentation of trace minerals. These should be bought only when required. But remember, the complete feed analysis is the only guide the farmer has to show him when they are required and to what extend." Feed sample kits, made up of an information. sheet, a plastic bag for feed samples and a mailing envelope are also available from district and county offices. Samples should be sent to the Feed Analysis Labora- tory, Department of Animal and Poultry Science, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1. to hell) provide 1,500 community f�bIi9 " The prewmt act has broadened its Mien of a communityrec- reation centre to mean Mandl or all or any part of a buildinil or butte oI'structure established under this Act that is maintained and operated for community rec- reation activity." This will Pro- vide the legislature flexibility through 'broader regulations, the needed flexibility- to aceontR modate present and future trends in community recreation ac- tivity. For instance, tennis courts will now qualify for grants. Under the new Act the magi* mum amounts of capitalgrants will be the same for all types of community centres. Moreover, it is ,proposed that the maximum level be raised. An increase in the maximum grant ceilings .is de- fined as the lesser of $75,000 or 25 per cent of the project •cost. The increased maximum up to $75,000 will allow for improved financial assistance more in keeping with rising construction costs. Pre -ap- proval of plans will still be re- quired in the new Act. 0-0-0 Ontario Revenue Minister Arthur Meen intends to introduce an amendment . to lower the ef- fective rate of the Land Specula- tion Tax. This statement followed a communication from Federal Finance Minister John Turner that the speculation tax would not be an eligible deduction in computing federal income taxes. This point was argued heatedly during the debate on the Land Speculation Tax Bill. In effect the tax applicable without the in- come tax deductible allowance is something in the neighbourbood of 110 per cent.
