Although members of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board recognized the controver- sy on over production they told dairy pro- ducers at least 98.5 per cent of the quota was needed, rather than the 96.per cent current- ly being realized. Changes in the levy structure and the in- crease in fluid sales and corresponding higher ,payout percentages prompted this request of producers to fill a larger per cent, possibly even 100 per cent, of their MSQ. Representatives from the. Ontario Milk. •Marketing Board told Huron County pro- ducers they were running close to the same pattern as other producers in the province, and added total marketings would have to be one per cent higher than a year ago, on average, for each of..the remaining months of the dairy year to fill the provincial quota.

ATTEN Women discuss animal rights at meeting January 1986. Total marketings have hw^^ lower, compared to the same month a year ago, for eight months in a row. The OMMB said it expected the trend towards lower decreases in milk marketings, compared to a year ago, to, continue as producers res- pond to the revised levy structure and ad- just their feeding programs to compensate. for poorer quality feed. Under the current levy structure the recently reduced within -quota levy of $4.65 per hl applies up to 98.5 per cent of MSQ and a special export rate of $27.50 per hl applies on the remaining 1.5 per cent of MSQ. The full overquota levy rate of $38hlapplies on shipments over 100 per cent of MSQ. The percentage. levels of MSQ at which different levy rates apply will be adjusted a year-end to reflect any under utilisation by producers within the province. A year-end adjustment for increased domestic re- quirements was not anticipated at this stage due to declining butter sales. Dr. Jim Ashman, of the Dairy Inspection Branch, entertained the Huron County group, with a graphic comment on the various hats worn by employees of the The March meeting of the Goderich Township Women's Institute was held in the Goderich Township Community Centre.

Bernice Mcllwain was program convenor and read several articles on Animal Rights versus Reality.

"The system was designed with four separate checks if you want to take it that far," he said, adding farmers should use it, if they feel they haven't been given a "fair crack". "We are trying to do as much as we possibly can to ensure the test results are accurate." .

Deep end, diving boar Dear Editor: If the town is considering spending over three million d'ollars.on a recreational com- plex, I think. it is inappropriate to have a 4.5 -foot pool with only three lanes, no deep end and no diving board. It would not be much more than a wading pool. Andwhat about the main attraction, a diving board?' At the Gooderham pool, the diving board is used extensively. Vanastra's pool is 9.5 feet deep. at one end with a low diving board (too low) and many car loads of people from Goderich , go there regularly to swim and dive. At nights especially there is always a a must LLTi ERS ,line-up for the board., If children are taught to swim in show water with no deep end 1 fear once they can swimthey will eventually dive and take a deep dive with subsequent serious injury.
