Liquid Supplemnents - Are They WVorth The Et~ab In the last two or three years, f armers have been inundated with information on liquid protein supplements.- Prof. J.G. Buchanian-Smithl, ruminant nutrîtionist in the Depar tmrent of Animnal and Poultry Scienice, Ontario Agricoltuca] College, points out that farm-ers should rea- ize the value of liquid supple- müents on many farmns is primnarily that of an energy source and not, a p)rotein source. The liquid supple- mients are_ usually formulated wi'th a molasses base, urea or some other nitrogen source and a phosphorus source. in all MP sold in Ontario, at least 75 per cent of theprotein is provîded by nion-protein nitrogen. Catie genierally need protein supplement only for a short period oftimie, from mirid-Juily to mid-Septem- ber, when they are on grass pastures. On legumne pastures, no protein is required. When protein levels in the pasture are highi, there is very littie utilization of the non-protein nitrogen i the liquid supple- ments. Professor Buchanan- Srmith points out thant as an energy source, liquid protein supplemnents are excellent, but the addition of non-protein "PARDON ME WHILE 1 OGLE'- sYou'II enioy your Vacation mnorewivth pea ce of m d -.1that your property at home is adequateîy insured - and your travel risks are equatly insured.

The su pplements contain other valuable nutrients to provide energy, such as molasses and other water-soluble ingred- ients. He recommends thal farmers select the suppleenin lowest in~ the proportion of crude protein derived fror non-protein nitrogen and cheapest on a dry matter basis. Since the introduction of 'iqud supplements is still retively recent, not enough data is available on the products' under Ontario con- ditions to make completc recommendations. This yeai researchers in the Depart- ment of Animal and Poultm3. Science are conducting tests to deterinie the value of liquid protein supplements under field conditions. Prof. Buchanan-Smith feels that a low-urea dry supplement with a 30 - 40 per cent proctin leveL mixed one-to-one xith comn or grain at 3 lbs. per head per day would be a better supple- ment for cattie on pasture. It is more difficult to prepare the mix, there is wastage involvec and it is time-consuming bui in the long run, it fiay be better value for the money. Before Buying - Look For Seai of Approval Safe use of energy is the namne of the game behind the Ontrio Energy Act; an Act thaf requires ail home, com- mercial and farm equipmenl and appliances, t hat use natural g as or propane to be approved or certif ied by one of four testing agencies. Undeî the Act, it is also illegal tc off er for- sale, to seli, lease, ent, buy or instaîl such an appliance unfless it is apmov- e. How do you recognîze ar a pproved or certified ap- pliance? It will carry a seal of approval, provided by the Canadian Gas Association, the Canadian Standards Associa- tion or by the Underwritems' Laboratory of Canada. In a few cases, the Energy Safety Brancb of the Minîstry of C onsumner and Commercia. Relations issues its own label. Before a manufacturer car attacb a seal of approval to bis appliance or equipment being ofered for, sale, the item mîust be submitted to the testing agency wbose seal is being affixed. Thorough testing as- sures tbat tbe equipment conformis to the safety stand- ards developed by represent- atives of suppliers of, ap- pliances, suppliers of fuel, users of botb, testing agencies and goverment. In recent years, user goups sucb as the poultry industry bave gone one step further to bring a b out necommendations forit, e safe installation, operation anc maintenance of brooding equipment.il The next time yot're shop- pin g for a sas, propane or il-fired appliance, wbether it is a cr-op dryen, brooder, tobacco kiln dryer, carbor dioxide generator, home beat- ing furnance, space heater, water heater, or any otbeî type of appliance, look for the seal of approval, and if yot are concerned that it bas nol been approved or is otherwise unsafe, contact the Enengy Safety Branch of the',Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, 400' University Avenue.

Let us accept the calnewith Faith And Hope High Realis-m" Paintings At McLaugl bAnn Parker An exhibition of some of the high realism painting of Nova Scotia born artist Tom For- re 'staîl began Thursday, June 19 at the Robert McLaugblîn Gallery. High realist art is noted for the sharp definition, precise technique and accur- ate detail given the subject by the realist artist. This experiencing of reality through art is not so very unusual but is rather the prime creative objective of most artists. Forrestal througb hi gh realism enriches reality witb bis inner-eye-view of the subject. An added dimension to bis painting is the unusual shapes of bis canvasses. Circular, oval, rhomboid and other shapes have been used from classifical times to frame works of art, however many critics stili describe this dimension of bis art as avant garde. The unusual shapes add to the mood that Forestaîl is creating. As well, he'Il occa- sionally combine two shapes to vary the focus and-or the mood of the piece. Those of bis works on display at- the gallery are: Basin Road (fromn the doors group), Frozen Under, On the Beach, White Marbie, Bell Tower, The Sand Bar, and The Open Door. His sketches and watercolor studies of these- paintings are included in the exhibit. Business Directory Accountancy WM. J. H.

Or your flush toilet, wasbing machine and electric razon? If you were a Britisb soldier at Fort Henry in 1867, the absence of luxunies like these would have mnade a rougb life even rougher. Each enlisted man bad only an mron cot and a few square inches of floor to caîl home, in the barrack moom he shared wîth 18 others. Early every morning bie would' sbave, lathering up witb a chip of soap in a pail of waten and then scrapîng away with a rusty razor. Army,- regulations called for the cbîn and throat to be dlean of whiskers, but mnoustaches and sideburns were permitted. Once a month tbe barrack noom became a barber-sbop, when the bain cutter made bis rounds. Every man's bain was cropped off in identical flas- bion: one to two inches long on top, tapening to nothing at the back. No excuses on com-- plaints were accepted! For the soldiens and thein families at Fort Henry, daily batbs were out of the question. Since watem had to be carnied in by band, only, officers weme allowed the pvate luxury of soakîng in a bottub, attended by a servant. The men stood and scrubbed, crowded around a few basins of water in a damkdamp noom. Not only bathtubs, but follets, weme divided by mank - one, eacb for men, women and officens. The privies wvere simply boles in a plank over a stone trough, but tbey featur- ed a pretty effective flusbing systemn. Rainwater from the parade square was collected at one end of the open privy trench and beld back bDy a sluice gate. From time to time the gate was opened, an-d wboosb! Everything .was swept down a drain into the waters of Lake Ontario. 1Wbile apparently not very plution-conscious, the Bni- tisýh Army in 1867 was aware of the danger of disease. The men and their families obser- ved strick 'rules for cleanli- ness, sweeping the stairs and chimneys, throwing out rub- bish and slops, cleaning the wash-houses and.privies, air- ing bedding, and so on. Wooden barrack room floors were washed weekly and sand-scrubbed every day to prevent themn fromr becoming damnp and water-logged. In the same vein, lines of wet laundry in the barrack rooms were considered un-healthy, s0 the men were forced to pay a woman, usually a soldier's wife, to wash their clothes. Today, thanks to modemn conveniences like indoor P lumbing, Old Fort Henry bas been restored as an historic and recreational site. The St. Lawrence Parks Commission also operates Upper Canada Village and 14 well-kept camp- grounds. RED CROSS YOUTH 9 Norm Lellijo Super Draw at WestgatE . by D.

An added feature that was a real crow.d pleaser was a smaýsintg Demnolition Derby wýithi the winner being Stephen Tucker of Peter- boroughi. An unexpected bit of excite- ment was presented to the crowd when, with the resuit of clashing together, Jack Yel- land of Peterborough (No. 43) ripped the top of'f of Mike Shaugnessy's, car (No. 00) leaving him with a new convertible-type top welded Bd. of Educcition The Mînistry of Education will make $1.5 million in 9 rants available to scbool oards this year to assist tbem in converting learning mater- ials to the mnetric system, Education M1\inister Thomas Wells announced last week. In a policy statement to school boards, Mr. Wells urged boards to give increas- ing priority to the metric conversion program so that the goal of conversion to the metric systemi may be acbiev- ed in Ontario's schools by 1979, Metrication will apply to al areas of the curriculum. The system 'to be used will be the International System of Units, comnmonly known as SI. To assist the program, the Council of Ministers of Educa- tion, Canada, will produce a Metric St yle Guide wbich will be available t o Ontario teacb- ers later this year. The Minister said the publication is a reference book on modemn metric terminology and sym- bolism, and does not involve teaching techniqus "The imperiail sytem will not be phased out in a single magical 'Metric M Day. The quart of milk and the pound of butter will be with us for sometime to come. As tea- chers introduce metrîc con- version, they are not expected to abandon all reference to imperial units." "In spite of ingenious modi- fications and creative thînk- ing, metrication will inevit- aliy create somne expense and frustration. The answers to many questions cannot yet be given. However, the Ministry expects school boards to plan carefully and to gradually p hase out imperial usage, keping in mmnd that many low-cost changes can be made over a period of several years," Mr. Wells said. tt'~ ar ~,, Co -yi'- Jack Yelland, 2 - Car 57 Bob Thompson of Peter- borough, 3 - AI Tomson of P~ 1 Markham. ,fIng Ca dFeature -1 -Caryl Fuller,2 - Norm Lelliof, 3 - Hton Mace, 4 - Caude Harness. back on in tîmne for the c ,x Feature.

In recent months, the Ontario Government has introduced, or expanded, a number of measures aimed at putting home ownership within reach of greater numbers of people. That means doing twvo things- making more hausing available and helping you 10 meet home ownership costs. Four Ontario Governmrent programs are directed right at these objectives: L. Home Ownership Made Easy (H.O.M.E.) brings home owriership within reach of many moderate-income earners. Houses are buiit on serviced lots which are then leased by Ontario Housing Corporation 10 new homeowners, who may buy the land after five years. This combination makes possible lower-than-normal down payments and carrying cost 's. 2. Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) offers grants and loans for home improve'- ments through local municipalities ta low and moderate incarne homeowners. This plan works to rehabilitate sub-standard dweliings-especialy those with faulty structural and sanitary conditions- and ta, upgrade piumbing, heating and electrical systemrs. 3. Ontario Housing Action Program (OHAP) helps municipalities and developers ta increase the suppiy of serviced land, thus lowering the cost of home oWnership and rentai accommodations. It also, en- courages the building industry ta more cioseiy match the housing mix ta, the purchasing power of the maJority of the population. 4. Ontario Home Buyers Grant pravides a $1,500 grant in three instalments 10 any Ontario resident who is 18,or aider and buying a f irst home. There are no price or income restrictions but the home must be the buyer s principal residence and, acquired at fair market value. The pur- chase must be comnpleted by December 31, 1975 and the buyer must be living in. the home by June 30, 1976., If you would like more information or tree literature on these four housing programs, WArite ta: Ministry of Housing Communications and Information Services 101 BloorStreetWVest Toronto, Ontario M5S 1P8 Ministry of Housing Donald Irvine, Minister Governmyent of Ontario William Davis, Premier AUTO &USED CARS fj LICENSED MECHANIC ON DUTY TOP PRICES FOR WRECKS AND SCRAP GOOD SELECTION 0F USED CARS MONEY ON QUALITY DX PREMIUM FUEL OIL and STOVE OIL BOWMVANVILLE CUSTOMERS CALL COLLECT Ask Operator for 668--3381 or Dia l 1-668-3381 CA LL us DX FUEL OIL FOR PROMPT, COURTEOUS SERVICE Pine Ridge School hield a dinner June l9th to honor those who have given their time and talents in helping the students in various programs.
