It's the Same $treet.
Despite the Pictures
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE that the three pictures are of
the same street, so much improved is Goderich Street since
this year's construction program has been completed.
The upper picture, at the left, is a view of Goderieh
Street looking west from West William Street, and taken
ro on completion of construction two weeks ago. The 32 -foot
pavement, the neatly sodded boulevards, the new sidewalks,
are all in evidence. Street lighting has been moved to the
south boulevard.
The centre picture, taken from almost the same place,
recalls the narrow roadway, the broken pavements and curbs
that featured Goderich Street for a number of years before
construction began earlier this year.
In the lower picture, Goderich Street as it was before
the turn of the century. The picture looks west from the
corner of Main Street.

orryas Beef'
erds Decrease
"We are rather worried about
the decrease in purebred beef
herds, and may have to get
back on a scrub bull and scrub
cow program," district agricul-
tural representative Doug Miles
said in his report to County
Council: "At one time, Huron
was noted for its excellent pure-
bred beef herds, and our breed-
ers supplied foundation stock
for many herds in the province.
A number of our purebred
breeds have been forced into a
commercial operation, and some
of us are concerned over the
future of the cattle business.
"I was on a farm the other
day where no more than 235
pounds had been gained over
11 months, and that man got
15 or 16 cents a day for feed,
labor and overhead and the rest
of it. You can't feed a 900 -
pound steer for 15 cents a day,
let alone take care of build-
ings.
"The number of cattle on Hu-
ron farms has increased signifi-
cantly in the past couple of
years. This will be revealed
when Dr. MacLennan, health of
animals branch, releases his
figures on the completion of the
TB test. The increase may be
upwards to 20,000. There were
very few reactors to TB in the
county and these were in a few
herds.
"Our Iivestock in the county
can be rated„ very healthy. It
is likely an increase in swine
and poultry could be reported.
There is a continuing switch
from dairy to beef and beef to
dairy, but only normal for such
a large livestock county. Some
of our feedlot operators are
holding off purchases of steers
because of unsettled markets.
It is expected that cattle may
be about three 'cents cheaper
than last fall.
"When it costs $21,000 for
equipment to grow a cob of
corn, the overhead is getting
terrific. More people are being
directed to us for assistance in
planning their farm operations,
and suggestions for farm and
farm building expansion. Some
have tried to do expansion out
of current revenue and have
not made arrangements for
long-term finances, or farm im-
provement loans if they are go -

Miss Patricia Damude, home
economist, reported that the
4-H Homemaking Club program
in Huron is one of the largest
and most active in Ontario.
There were 869 projects com-
pleted, and 549 individuals tak-
ing part, increases of eight and
seven, respectively. Credit for
the constant progress of the
program, Miss Damude said, "is
due the interest and support on
the part of the club leaders and
members' parents, and also to
the individual members.

Highways to Greater Progress
for
ONTARIO
The opening of the improved Highway 8 in the Town of Seaforth and part of
the reconstructed Huron County Road to the Village of Brussels, illustrates
the greater emphasis now being placed by the Department of Highways on
assistance to municipal road systems by way of increased and extended sub-
sidies.
Under the Connecting Link program here
at Seaforth—where the Province makes
a 100 per cent contribution—the fine, new
pavement covers approximately one mile
from east to west limits of the main street.
The road has been widened from 24 to 32
feet. Top pavement will be laid next
Spring. Total estimated cost of this
specific contract is slightly more than
$200,000.
HON. CHARLES MacNAUGHTON
Minister of Highways
Also linked with this project is the work
under way to reconstruct Huron County
Road No. 12 from Seaforth to Brussels, at
a total estimated cost of more than $641,-
000, under the Development Road pro-
gram. Since the Development Road pro-
gram was started, the total mileage on
which the Department of Highways has
carried out such projects is more than
2,830 miles. This year alone, reconstruc-
tion work is in progress or is scheduled to ,
begin on some 620 miles of road under
this program.
