After everyone had enjoyed a delightful supper, tables were cleared away and Irwin Smith, our guest of the eve- ning was introduced by Roy - Grierson. He sure made that organ ring with selections from Sound of Music, Polkas, How Great Thou Art, and dedicated the piece "I only have eyes for you' to his grandmother, Mrs. Booth. This was a very thoughtful gesture and really made an impression on some of our older Senior Citizens. Roy had arranged for rides from the Community Nursing Home, The Villa and the Kellett Apartments. I believe they really enjoy these outings. Our next meeting will be January 24 and our euchre this Saturday, January 20 and bowling Thursday, \ January 25. Come out to these opportunities to keep from growing old. Stay young with Senior Citizen. Ethel Irwin, our Vice-Presi- dent very capably thanked Irwin for coming and hoped he would come again. Ontario dairymen could increase profits if they paid more attention to their dry COWS. Dennis McKnight, lecturer at the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology, says proper management of dry cows can prevent out- breaks of milk fever.

DEANWATSON AUTO SALESLTD LEASING HWY. 47 SOUTH OF UXBRIDGE - PHONE 852-3313 Remember This ? bringing smiles to the faces of skiers and snowmobil- It is almost one year to the day that a disastrous snow and wind storm hit Scugog Township, leaving several hundred cars stranded along the Oshawa Road, causing numerous accidents,. and at least one death. People are still talking about that storm. While Scugog got a bit of a dusting of snow over the weekend, Milk fever skims farmers profits 'dairymen prevent the disease. "Feed dry cows a ration of grass hay or limited amounts of corn silage. This improves the chances that cows will receive nearly equal quantities of calcium and phosphorus in their ration." Mr. McKnight stresses that the cows should be fed no-more than 75 g of calcium N.F.U. meeting consider resolutions for district convention this coming summer. Local members donated vege- tables for Inco strikers in Sudbury, delivered in time for Christmas. A letter was read calling attention to the Youth Exchange. This is an oppor- tunity for young farm people to visit other parts of Canada at very reasonable cost. Paul Windatt spoke on the "Year of the Child" and children's rights throughout the world. The National Farmers Union of this region is concerned about Potato Marketing proposals for a promotional market plan. This idea was in use in Prince Edward Island the last two years where the growers have only received 2 cents per pound, about half the cost of production. What is esseritial to growers is cost of production plus a fair margin of profit. Joe Casey, Wallacetown, new NFU Co-ordinator advocates a Regional Marketing plan and, ul- timately, a National Mar- keting plan, which would allocate fair market sharing among producers, not pitting growers in various regions against one another. This National Plan should also have some control over imports and exports in order to stabilize prices. The next meeting will be at Morris and Muriel McGee's on February 12, 1979. - ers, Ole Man Winter so far, anyway, has been rather kind in this part of the country. But it's not over by any means, and the odds are we'll still get a real blast like the one that hit January 26, 1978. and 30 g of phosphorus each day. Recent studies indicate that when dry cows receive the proper balance of calcium and phosphorus, they are less likely to contract milk fever. "Only ten percent of cows that have had milk fever contract it 'again when fed this balance of calcium and phosphorus during the dry period." Mr. McKnight says dairy- men should not feed dry cows alfalfa or legume hay because they'll receive an incorrect balance of calcium or phosphorus. This just increases their chances of contracting milk fever, he says. Another way to prevent milk fever is by feeding dry Mr. McKnight cows massive doses of vitamin D. : "Feed each cow 20 to 30 million units of vitamin D2 daily, three to eight days before calving. This will prevent 80 percent of milk fever cases." Another method of milk fever prevention is one in- jection of 10 million units of vitamin D3 one week before calving. oa urges producers to obtain detailed information on milk fever prevention from dairy specialists at county offices of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "Dairymen can't elimin- ate the disease completely, but if they manage dry cows _properly, they'll reduce the number of cases."
