12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 4, 1976 Local Kawnis Host For Lt. - Gov. Caucus By Doug Taylor A Lieutenant - Governors Caucus here on January 26th brought some 60 members of Kiwanis from Division 10 to Bowmanville as the local club hosted the event at the Flying Dutchman. Lt.-Gov. Dennis Sweeting, whose home club is Lindsay, discussed many upcoming functions with those in atten- dance, including the next caucus, annually hosted by the Whitby Club at which time elections take lace for the incoming Lt.-Gov. and Lt.- Gov. Elect. The big item for which plans are being made is, of course, the Eastern Canada and Carribean District Convention in Kingston Jamaica, Aug. 22-25. Discussions of the Registra- tion Fees and air farecosts were the main concerns at present while Mr. Sweeting assured Kiwanians that des- pite the recent rumblingsin Jamaica, the area in which the convention is to be held is "safe and clear." Mr Sweeting's home club from Lindsay was announced as the winner of the Multiple Service Award, mainly for their involvement in the major-empasis theme of Ki- wanis. T he, theme directs work witn the young and the elderly. The Lindsay club has been instrumental in the chartering in Lindsay of an Association for Children with Learning Disabiiîties and in working with the elderly at Senior Citizens Apartments and at the Victoria County Hlome. The Single Sec vice Award went to a group in their first aar of existence The Dur- ham AM club. They won the honors for their initiative in starting a blood pressure clinic at the Oshawa Centre. Aside from the two clubs recognized for their special efforts, Mr. Sweeting com- mended all of the 13 clubs in Division 10 as doing well and moving ahead of the other divisions in the EC and C district. Another big event which is coming up and will be hosted by the Lindsay club is the April 15 visit of the EC and C District Governor Ah Duffield, from the Bahamas. Mr. Duf- field is a one time resident of Peterborough who has lived in the Bahamas now for some years. A different approach has been organized by the Lindsay club for the visit, the plans being for the Governor to have dinner with the various Club Presidents antten .adjori tO the Academy Theatre in Lindsay. At the Theatre entertain- ment that has been offered by other clubs may include some Ukranian Dancing, a Pipe Band and so on. It is hoped some 300 Kiwanians and wives will attend the event at which a disc-jockey is also anticipated as a source of music, the dance floor beîng the stage. The caucus also featured some brief discussion about Key Clubs, which aside from the Carribean area, have been sliding down hill in recent times. There are now iive Key Clubs at High Schools in Division 10 of which Cobourg was reported to be showing most successful at present through their involvement in community projects. Mr. Sweetngsited one fault with Key Clubs being the material by which tbey func- tion. He f elt it sbould be reviewed and made of a more native Canadian content which is the practice followed b the successful Carribean clubs. The Key1 Club Divisional Rally will be held Feb. 3 at Tony's Pizza in Cobourg with election of the Lt.-Gov. for key clubs to be held then. Servie Pro grams Outlined Teacher's Day Thirty-six teachers from the Pines Senior Public Schoolthe M. J.

Hobbs Senior SchooI, and the Bowmanville Senior Public School attended a Professional Activity day at the Pines on Monday of this week. The Professional Activity day centred around commun- ity services available in the community and organized to stimulate an interchange of dialogue between the teachers and t ose associated with the services.

Later in the afternoon smalie. groups were organi- zed with each panel member for further discussion. >Mr. Hugli Grant, Educa- tional Consultant for the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education, stated that such professional activity days gave the teach- ers the opportunity to be aware of services available and to meet those involved in providing this service person- ally. Such programs generally start at nine in the morning and continue until 4:00 p.m. There are a total of eight Professional Activity days planned for the school year, of which the Board sets the program on five. The on~e on Monday at the Pines was a school designed pro- gram. Not only were teachers invited to the activit days but so were parents o students attending the Pines School.

What follows is a list of , twenty proposed com- mercials that more closely reflects both reality and the desires of you, the audience, based on the most well known of the hard core TV ads.

In his new position, Ken will supervise the 4-H Agricultural Club program and work close- ly with the Junior Farmer program in the province of Ontario.

Ontario Sheep Association Annual Meeting, The Annual Meeting of the Ontario Sheep Association will be held on Saturday, February 7th, 1976 at tbe, Canadiana Motor Hotel, Kennedy Road and Highway No. 401, Toronto. The meeting will commence at,10:45 a.m. with luncheon of roast lamb at 12:15 p.m. Luncheon tickets at $4.00 each can be obtained in advance from the Secretary, Don Stevenson, phone: 895-4519 in Newmarket or at the door before the meeting com- mences. Items on the agenda include reports from Zone Associa- tions on their activities, Com- mittee Reports, Canada Sbeep Council Reports and Notice of Motion to Amend the Constitu- tion. Mr. Ron Gordon, Chair- man of the Alberta Sheep and Wool Commission, which is the organization representing Alberta's Sheep owners, wil be the special luncheon guest speaker. Sheep owners in Alberta have been very active and Mr. Gordon will bring sheep pro- ducers in Ontario up to date on their activities. He will be giving a report on the progress of the Cooperative Lamb Processing ant at Innisfail Alberta. Also, the Annual Meeting of Ontario sharehold- ers in the Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers will held n con junction with the Annual Meeting. Ontario delegates to the Company Board will be elected at this time. This meeting is of great importance to all Sheep pro- ducers in Ontario, so we would ures=e producers to plan on attnig this meeting and supporting their organization. Hay Handling Systems Decisions If you decided that #andling bales of hay, is too much wor and 1976 is the year to try one of the new hay handling systems, visit a local producer using one of these systems before you scrap your baler in favour of haylage or the big bales and stack systems. Take a look at bis setup now, while it is beng used for winter feeding, so that you can make a complete and accurate assessment of the total hay handling system that the producer is using. In most cases, producers looking at the new hay handlinsystems are seeing them on y rom the advantage point of labour-saving in the summer. While this is an important consideration,. farmers should also see these systems as they are being used to actual feeding pro- rams. Some of the draw- acks to the new systems may change their minds on what they will do. It is pointed out that several problems that are perhaps not readily seen, but could be quite evident in visiting a farm already using a certain type of system. Necessary adaptations or major changes could outweigh the benefits of any new pro gram. The new types of ha packages require a level, well-drained location for stor- age over the winter - some- AgriculturaL News times a difficult proposition on a farmstead. The need for snow removal to provide access to the stacks and big bales, as well as to ease transportation to a feeding area is also a consideration. Another question is whetber presentteeding facilities are adqaeto handie the new system, or will they need to be updated? Producers considering hay- lage have a choice of either tower or bunker silos. With tower silos, the problem ma be in adapting present facil- ities or management practices to suit the new system. With bunker silos. the primary advantage is low cost. Farm- ers will require some snow removal requipment, or a strong back and shovel to avoid interference with feed- ing operations during the winter. 1 Te final significant draw- back may be potential spoil- age and-or feeding losses involved with the type of system being considered. If producers are still willing to put upwith this and the other drawbacks, then the choice of the system, whatever it may be, will make sense, as it is based on all the alternatives that are available to the farmer. The majority of Ontario Producers of Potatoes for Processing have voted in favour of a marketing plan for their product. This was announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Food, Mr. William Newman. The Ex- pression of Opinion Poll was held January 26th-and Min- istry of Agriculture and Food offices in various areas of the province. Producers were ask- ed to ballot on the following question: "Are you in favour of the establishment of a Marketing Plan to include provision for the negotiation of minimum prices and con- ditions of sale for potatoes for E rocessing-,I'*ne tta fm. er of ballots cast was 114. The number of producers that were entitled to ballot was about 160. Results were "Yes" - 83, "No" - 29, "Spoiled Ballots" - 2. The Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board will meet soon to consider the results of the Poll and make a recommendation to Mr. New- marn. Some 74 er cent of those casting valid ballots were in favour of the propsed plan. The proposed Marketing Plan will apply to growers of potatoes for processing only, and will not apply to growers of otatoes for the fresh market. 0 LJI Shop From the 'Comtort of Your Car Shopat a. iryBair n, 215 King St. E.
