BF Co REE Ry AT SN at im..et A ssh AA Maurice Jebson heads Holstein breeders The annual meeting of the Ontario County Holstein Club was held in the Town- ship Hall, Manchester, on Saturday, January 26th, 1974 with 80 Holstein Breed- ers in attendance. * President, Maurice Jeb- son, opened the meeting at 10:35 a.m. In his remarks, Mr. Jebson gave a detailed summary of the projects carried out by the Club in' 1973. He also expressed ap- preciation to the retiring secretary for his assistance during the past three years, and presented him with an attache case on behalf of the Club. In his reply, Mr. Bell indicated that he had appre- ciated the opportunity to work with the members of the Club, and would look forward to continuing the relationship in the future. The Guest Speaker of the morning program was Mr. Ralph Gregg, Engineering Extension Specialist, New- market. Mr. Gregg spoke on Calf Housing and ventilation. In his remarks, he noted that calf losses on the average might run as high as 15 per cent of the milking herd, and that many of the problems in calf rearing are the result of poor ventilation. He also outlined the recommen- dations for calf housing, and the type of ventilation sys- tem that is required for good results. The highlight of the after- noon program was an ad- dress by Dr. Spencer Morri- son of Claremont. Dr. Morrison spoke on Protein and Protein Requirements for Dairy Cattle. He suggest- ed that we should aim for herds of at least 15,000 lbs. average production. In his remarks, he noted that many good cows are underfed on digestable protein. The qua- lity" of protein, he stated, is not so mportant for low producers, but high quality protein is needed for high producers. He further stated that high producers in the herd cannot make as good use of non-protein nitrogen as the low producers. The speaker discussed the utili- zation of non-protein nitro- gen and emphasized the need for high energy -levels in the ration to make the best use of this source of protein. The speaker was introduc- ed by Frank Barkey, 'and thanked by Harold Grove. Both speakers of the day were presented with a ham- per of apples, donated by Lloyd Smith. Mr. Gerry Nelson, Field- man for the Holstein Frie- sian Association, reviewed the highlights of the year's activities. in his area, and mentioned that there were 110 new members in his district.

Region'gyped' on "junk" typewriters Regional council agreed to trade in typewriters it had bought two weeks earlier from Oshawa in on ten new ones after Social Services Committee chairperson Ruth Bestwick explained the Oshawa machines are, "almost unusuable." Council bought the type- writers, along with other office equipment, from the former social services department of the City of Oshawa. They are in, "poor" condition, said Mrs. Bestwick. ® "We got gyped," inter- jected Councillor Ken Lyall of Newcastle. "I get the impression some of the typewriters shouldn't have been bought because they are just junk," said Pickering Mayor George Ashe. Mayor Ashe said that council was not getting satis- factory answers as to why machines bought just two weeks ago now have to be replaced. "If we bought type- writers that are no good they should be returned from whence they came," Mr. Ashe suggested. However, council approved spending another $20.000 for new office equip- ment, including ten new typewriters.
