the Auxiliary to Wingharn' and: Dis-
trict Hospitl, which raises
$1,491.50 last Week. This will be
used to purchase equipment for the
hospital. Last year, the auxiliary
donated over $13,000 in equip-
ment.

and their friends all helped unpack

ready for the sale on Thursday eve-
ning and Friday morning.
Co -convenors of the sale were
Mary Lou Bourne, Debbie Currie
and Lois Baynton, Members did the
selling and a group of members
from Lucknow kept eveyrone sup-
plied with refreshments.
The members especially thank
those seniors who helped with the

The auxiliary also appreciates
the generosity of the community
members, who, not only buy at the
rummage, sale, but donate many
items to be sold.
Last week we did some armchair
traveling at the centre. Marilyn and
Ken Wood of Wingham shared
slides of their vacation to China. It
was interesting hearing about the
different food, scenery and activity
in China. We thank Mr. and Mrs.
Wood for taking us "on vacation".
Last Wednesday, a games day
was held. Participants were asked
to bring along a friend and a game
they enjoy. There was plenty of so-
cializing and friendly competition.
Grade 3 pupils from Wingham
Public Sehooi were back to visit
last week, bringing with them an
article to share with the seniors that
holds special meaning to them.
The children shared photos,
quilts, dolls, special ribbons and
awards to name a few. This pro-
gram is sponsored by the Canadian
Centre
Mental Health Association. This
week, the seniors have a chance to
share their treasures with the stu-
dents. We are looking forward to
this next visit.
Last Friday, the discussion was
Earth- Week. We planted some
flower seeds for Earth Week and
read stories and poems relating to
the topic. In the afternoon, we en-
joyed musical entertainment by Ed
Stiles of Dungannon.

BELGRAVE-Mr. and Mrs. Ross
S. Procter have just returned from a
trip to South Africa, where they at-
tended the 8th Shorthorn World
Conference at the Itala Game Re-
serve. They also traveled to Zim-
babwe, Botswana and Nambia.
Some 90 delegates from as far
afield as the United States, Canada,
Argentina, Australia, New Zealand,
the United Kingdom and Zimbab-
we took part. A resurgence in the
breed has been noticed in most
countries involved in the cattle in-
dustry, report the Procters, with
membership, registration and trans-
fers all showing a positive trend.
The USA has for the first time in
30 years exceeded the 20,000 regis-
tration figure and similar increases
are reported from Australia and
New Zealand.
Various important developments`
in the production field received at-
tention. The American delegates re-
ported that tests completed recently
by the US Department of Agricul-
ture at the Clay Centre in Nebraska
showed the shorthorn with the larg-
est percentage of unassisted births.
As well, shorthorns had the high-
est percentage of choice carcasses
with the best marbling score. This
combination means that the short-
horn is right at the very top of prof-
itablity.
New Zealand and Australian del-
egates mentioned the importance of
marbling in Japanese and Asian ex-
port markets. Cgnversely, the US
and South African delegates report-
ed that their grading systems still
favor leaner beef.
Canada reported a. 10 per cent in-
crease in sales with the UK up 35
per cent in bull sales in the last two
years. Australia reported 97 per
cent 'clearance from its two major
bull sales with prices up considera-
bly on the year.
In the dairy shorthorn scene.
most delegates reported that the
breed was holding its own with the
breed strengthening its position in
the UK. The societies from around
the world are planning to put to-
gether a promotional pamphlet pro-
moting the economic production of
milk of dairy shorthorns.
The next conference will be held
in Australia in June of 1998 and
plans are already well underway.
