Zurich Citizens News, 1974-01-31, Page 11THURSDAY; JANUARY 31, 1974 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE 11 Three meetings for dairymen Three educational meetings for Huron County dairymen have been organized to take place in the Londesboro Com- munity Hall during February. The first meeting on February 6, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. will feature Dairy Herd Management. Ross Marshall, of Kirkton, will be one of the speakers. Mr. Marshall owns and manages Huron County's top producing R.O.P. Holstein herd. Mr. Marshall, besides manag- ing his outstanding producing herd, provides leadership for the Holstein -Friesian breed. He is presently first vice-president of the Holstein -Friesian Assoc- iation of Canada. Gordon Bell from St. Marys is the Western Ontario fieldman for the Holstein breed. At this meeting, Mr. Bell will speak on the art of marketing good dairy cattle. The present strong prices for good dairy cattle makes this a timely topic. On February 13, Milking Management will be discussed. Equipment, sanitation, and milking procedure will be major topics. Dr. Hacker of the Animal and Poultry Science Department of the University of Guelph, along with resource prople from the Surge Equipment Company will be taking part. This meeting will commence at 10:30 a.m. and conclude in the afternoon. It would be a good idea to bring lunch. Production of home grown feed is always important on the dairy farm. Pat Lynch, Soils and Crops Specialist, and Mike Miller, Extension Specialist, will team up on February 20 for this meeting starting at 1:30 p. m. A special invitation is extend- ed to Huron County dairymen to attend these meetings. 0 Faultless brakes are a "must" for winter driving safety. Have the equalization checked. A pull to one side can cause a dangerous skid, warns the Ont- ario Safety League. Tuckersmith wants more subsidy Tuckersmith Township will request the ministry of transport- ation and communications to provide additional subsidy due to the acquisition of five addit- ional miles of urban roadway at Vanastra. In 1973, the township receiv- ed a road subsidy of $74, 000 for 101 miles of roadway. This year, the Ministry has offered only $53, 000. This 20 per cent drop in subsidy is made more serious because of the extra five miles. Thirteen ratepayers affected by the Bigg Drain attended the last council session for the rep- ort on the drain by engineer Henry Uderstadt of Orangeville. The discussion lasted about two hours and centred around the variances in assessment, and whether to leave part of it an open drain. Court of Revision was held on the DeJongs Drain. There were no appeals and tenders will be called in the spring. Brian Flannigan, chairman of the Seaforth Lions' Park Com- mittee, presented a report on the park which is located in the township and asked for a grant. Requests for building permits were approved for John Fraiser, Egmondville for a porch addit- ion on house and for Larry McClinchey, R.R.5, Clinton, for addition to house. Council authorized the tax sale listing of properties with 1971 arrears. Council did not endorse the resolution from the village of Grand Bend petitioning the change in the municiple act which would allow a member of council to attend a County Cou- ncil Session if the reeve of the township was unable to be pres- ent. Reeve Elgin Thompson said this would not be possible for a councillor to sit on County Council if he had not been sworn in. Council approved grants as follows: Tuckersmith Federat- ion of Agriculture; $600; Seaf- orth Lions Club, $300 (park); Seaforth Community Hospital, $150; Seaforth Central Huron, and South Huron Agriculture 4 ,0.0"Qy.Q.-"L 9 0 Q_Q-p W o gy ov eva Qy Q-"-9 CULCUU - py0Q,p_gp Qy "'CUL' ay_ov DA WOOD and DISTRICT NEWS Correspondent: Mrs. Ervin Rader EUCHRE PARTY Nineteen tables were in play at the euchre sponsored by the Dashwood Women's Institute at the community centre.
