George remembers an anniversary Orond Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 14, 1987-13 Durham East BY GEORGE To start off the New Year I have two short stories for you, both of which will be slightly out of date due mainly because the holidays disrupted the papers publishing schedule, however I feel that they are still relevant and should be told. Christmas is always a happy time in our house, as it probably is in most homes, being the one time of the year when the whole family gets together, but not this year. The house was decorated, all the "goodies" were bought, the tree was installed with presents underneath, there was food enough to feed a regiment, and then Mother got sick. It wasn't Santa Claus who visited us it was the flu bug (probably (probably the original "grinch"!!!) Mother collapsed in bed, and that finished any celebrations. 1 had intended to invite the neighbours in (as usual) for our Christmas cheer, but that became out of the question, however they came anyway--not for what I had,--but with what "they" had!! Each day a different family brought in fully cooked (and wonderfully tasteful) dinners. Finally, after a visit to the hospital emergency, and another to our doctor, Lynne finally started to recover. Christmas as such, was a disaster, but 1 learned a lot about friendship $$$ SACRIFICE SACRIFICE $$$ Buildings priced for immediate liquidation.

Smiths Falls area. , and humility. This short account can probably be duplicated in many home's lately, lately, but I present it to prove what I have said so many times. In this small community we have so many people with "Big Hearts", Thank you and bless you all. And now on a very different theme, a different story. On January 11th I remember an anniversary--you will note I don't "celebrate", but I remember!! On that dqy, forty-six years ago, H.M.S. Southampton was sunk by enemy action in the Mediterranean- -She was the first of a new class of fast heavy cruisers, built in answer to Germany's "Pocket Battleships" Canada saw this ship when she escorted the late King George VI and the present Queen Mother, on their tour of this country in 1939. Shortly after their return to England, that country was involved in a world conflict, and so, like so many others, this ship went to war. She was "bloodied" early, for on Oct. 16th while returning to base after a North Sea patrol, she was involved involved in the first air raid over the U.K. and took a bomb through two decks, and but through the ships side, leaving a hole as big as a garage door-nevertheless she was at sea again in two days. Next came the disasterous Norwegian campagin. So little has been recorded of this phase of the war, that it would take a book to describe it in detail. I would prefer to forget it. At least I'm still living and "reasonably" sane!!! After a period of time spent mainly patching patching the inumerable shrapnel holes in the ship's side, she went south to join the Mediterranean Fleet, and almost immediately came into action with the Italian navy. Without going into details, it would appear that our gunnery was most decidedly more accurate than theirs!!! The ship was in almost continuous continuous action in the eastern "Med." from then on, (including one German submarine that was forced to surface, and then "regretfully" "regretfully" sank--AMEN). Then came that fateful period when a British destroyer had hit a mine, and was sinking east of Malta. The "Southampton" left the fleet, and went to her assistance, taking her in tow, and getting her back to Malta for repairs, she then tried to rejoin the fleet, some two days steaming ahead, but was caught by waves of dive bombers that resulted in a direct hit in her main engine room, that also ruptured ruptured her oil tanks, and set her on fire below decks. M<4tally injured and on fire, she listed over and was dead in the water. It rapidly became evident that, with the fire spreading below decks, it could soon reach the ammunition rooms, in which case she would explode--the order was given to abandon ship. Shortly after being picked up by a British destroyer, I watched the last minutes of this beautiful ship, as she rolled over and sank, I often think of that rusting hulk laying on the bottom of the Mediterranean, with many fond memories, and a lot of pride. Yes my friends, I lived aboard that ship; from the time she came to Canada, until the day she disappeared disappeared beneath the sea forever. I think with sorrow of those that went down with her, but most'of all "1 Remember". I served on several other ships during the war, but the "Southampton" was my first love. And that's a love you nevet forget. George Note: For confirmation - See Churchill's Churchill's "History of the Second World War" Books II and III. Agri-News "Ventilation By Jitn Walker A good, properly functioning ventilation system is of utmost importance importance to pork producers. Whether you are using new facilities or an older style barn, a system should be designed to serve the following functions: 1) In the winter, it must remove excess excess humidity in the form of water vapour, and also gases produced by the livestock. It must provide adequate adequate fresh air, and ■ distribute it evenly without causing drafts at pig level. 2) In the summer, the ventilation system must remove excess heat from the barn. The major components of a ventilation system include air exhausts, exhausts, air inlets, heaters and controls. controls. Generally, when we consider air exhausts, we speak of exhaust fans although it may also refer to roof vents, windows, etc. When designing designing a ventilation system, location of exhaust fans.may not be important, depending on the type of barn you are trying to ventilate. In a relatively relatively air-tight barn, using a cross flow ventilation system, fan location is not very critical, while in an old "loose" bank barn, exhaust fan placement may become critical to maintaining an optimum environment. environment. In most barns, the type, and location location of air inlets is of utmost importance importance to maintaining a warm, dry and draft-free environment for the pigs. The use of centre air inlets, side air inlets, air bags or ducts must all be considered with reference to how they will create, air flow patterns patterns within the barn. In such areas as farrowing rooms and nursery/weaner rooms', heaters become an integral part of ventilation ventilation system. Because the pig density, density, or rather the pounds of pig density density 1 is relatively, low, 1 and temperature requirements , are relatively high, additional heat, becomes necessary. In planning the ventilation system, care must be taken to size .the heaters properly, too large of heaters will cause cycling cycling and rapid temperature fluctuations, fluctuations, while too small heaters will not be, adequate to maintain the temperatures at continuous ventilation ventilation rates; The most common type of controls controls on ventilation systems Is the thermostats, for turning fans on and off. Their function is to sense changes in the barn environment and turn fans on or off in response. To work efficiently, thermostats should be treated to regular cleaning cleaning and maintenance. Thermostats with the sensing coils all coated with dust, cobwebs and whitewash will not be accurate. Caliburation of thermostats is often out from the time they are new. Many can be recalibrated with a good thermometer thermometer and a screw driver, and should be checked on a routine basis. ' When you are trying to improve on the ventilation system in your barn, or designing a new. system, both the local Pork Advisor and the County Engineer are available to assist you. Durham Cattlemen's Feedlot Competition Competition Results By Joel Bagg The results of the Durham County County Cattlemen's Association Feedlot Competition were announced ' recently and cattle of Durham County origin out-performed the western cattle. The H & M Wright Feed Co. Trophy and a $100.00 cash prize awarded by Bob Holiday Trucking for top overall steer was won by Ralph Greenwood, R.R. 1, Kendal. This charolais-cross steer had an A1 grade, 720 lb. carcass with an average daily gain of 3.3 lbs. per day. Runner up was Lawrence Avery, R.R. 5, Bowman- ville with an Angus steer. Bruce Yeo, R.R. 1, Orono had a hereford steer with the highest average daily gain of 4.44 lbs. per day. Ross Ashton, R.R. 1, Bowman ville and Ceresmore Farm, R.R. 4, Bowmanville, were runners up, with average daily gains of 3.98 and 3.81 lbs. respectively. Top carcass carcass award went to Jim Byers, R.R. 2, jîlackstock with a Limousin cross steer. Runners .up in this category were Ralph Greenwood, R.R. 1, Kendal and Drywood Farm, R.R. 1, Enniskillen. Approximately 40 steers were entered in the competition and were started on feed in June at the farm of Harvey Graham, R.R. 1, Blackstock. The steers were on feed for, from 56 to 112 days of age and then sold on à carcass rail grade basis. In addition to the quality grade, carcass information, such as rib eye area, fat cover, marbling score and estimated cutability, was obtained. The competition provided provided an ideal opportunity to evaluate how various types of 4 cattle perform in the feedlot. SPECIAL ■ 40° WINDSHIELD WASHER $1.59 ' FOR 4 LITRES Orono Fuel & Lumber Ltd.
