The recent event in Oakville pertaining to the birth of healthy test-tube twins jogged our memory to an article we intended to Write late-last fall but which was just neyer accomplished. The basis of the article centres around -an evening visit to the Rutherfords in Kirby where we had dropped in to see what was new and what was up for debate at, that particular time. Certaînly we were not disappointed for Sid always has something on the go and expounding some new idea and this was the case again on this particulai visit. Comfortably settled around the fireplace the Kir- by Senator was putting forth, point by point, his latest theory to stabilize the agriculture industry in Canada. As was pointed out to us what Canada really needed was an Agri-Canada. The point was made that if Petro- Canada can stabilize and stimulate the oul industry in the nation a similar organiza- tion, Agri-Canada, could do likewise for the agriculture industry. "The old remedies are outdated states Sid and we have to look to somrething new. Agri-Canada would be involved in most aspects of the indlustry and 'could guarantee a fair return on in- ve -,ent and labour. In the meantime Mary was puttering around in a nearby closet and came forth with a pair of rubber boots which were placed on the floor. Stepping back she seeemd to be lining them uip with- the outside door and came over again to mnake readjustments in their placement. It crossed my mind that this was somnething like one would see in the fire department where a fast getaway was an- ticipated but it was not my part to question. "Where are you going?". asked Sid. "You know, to the barn" was the reply., "What for, and at this time of night" came a questioning response. (It was around 10:00-)p.m. At this point we did get a full explanation. Mary was off in the miorning to a dairy farm in the Hampton area and was just preparing for the visit. Further the farmer does have a onize hoîstein and in an effort to increase calving from this animal has been ex- tracting fertile eggs from the cow to transplant in other cows where 'the eggs develop resultinig in the birth of calves with the, propable characteristics of the original mother. The full theory was ex- plained as to producing more calves from a single cow than through normal conditions, and with the type of the prize winning original mother. In theory this certainly ap- peared as a most astute operation to get the best out of one prize-winning hols- tein. Mary did inform us that it had not worked as well as it should but the farmer had raised four calves through this method from the one cow. "There should have been more", said Mary. Sid then explained that of the four calves three were bull calves and dairy farmers are interested in heifer calves for they are the milk pro- ducers, the main purpose of the hostein breed. But from further question- ing by your writer we did find that one bull caîf had been sold for breeding purposes but unfortunatley had died. What was the cause of death 1 asked. "Frustration and a nervous break clown", stated Sid. It had no idea who its father was and further more was equally mystified as to its mother. But back to the fireside chat ont Agri-Canada. It was interesting.to hear last week the tail end of a news broadcast in which a proposed federal program in agriculture was being aired. It had ail the features the Kîrby Senator had promoted last faîl and as he said would work similar to Petro- Canada. It does make one wonder if the Kirby Senate does have a direct line into the inner chambers of our governiments in this country. Port Granby Waste Monitoring committee The Town, of Newcastle General Purpose commiîttee on Monday gave approv al for the formation of an Advisory Some talk Port Hope Cobourg me.rger Although there has been no formal discussion of a merging of Port Hope and Cobourg there, apparently, have been sorte informiai talks between the two mayors. Cobourg Mayor has been reported to have said it is not an impossible dreamt. Much of the present talk of merging comes fromt the fact that both municip5alities witnessed a heavy increase in county taxation thîs year and in effect support the county treasury with 41 percent of its annual budget fromn municipalities. On the other hand the two centres have eight representatives at coun- ty counecil which hias a total of 49 members from throughout the entire county. Bothi cen- tres point to the fact that the two Towns pay 41 percent of the costs of the county while having less than twenty-five percent of the repr esentation. The levy to Cobourg this year fromt the County in- creased by 36.9 percent while in Port Hope the increase amounted to 19.6 percent. It has been pointed out that the smaller mnunicipalities have con- sistently denied Port Hope and Cobourg increased -representation on county counicil and as well cast the deciding votes to turni down any possible form of restruc- turing of the county system a few yeats ago. MonFi;t orin g Comiittee relating to the Port Granby Waste facîlity operated, by Eldorado Nuclear in the Town of Newcastle. The formation of such a commnittee had been re- quested by John Veldhuis and following a report on Monday by Counc. Diane Hamre who has met with Veldhuis the committee was formed. The committee will be composed of Dora Nichols, Warren Lowes, Bud Hay, Johnl Veldhuis, Counc. Hamr!e and Mlayor RickardJ. The committee will chose its own chairman from the group. The motion establishing the committee was pre sented by Councs. Taylor and Woodyard and makes provi- sion for $250.00 for secretarial duties. It also set out the objectives of the com- mittee., In ber report to council Hamre established some of these objectives to in- ve stigate, educate and com- municate. also a proposed, scheduleý of informative meetings were suggested to meet the aims of the commit- tee.
