U.C.0. Opens New Feed Plant at Guelph Some 60,000 Ont. farmers through their central wholesaling organization, United Co-opeatives -of Ontario, are now -the proud possessors of a new $600,000 feed manufacturing plant at Guelph, Ontario. In official opening ceremonies, the-plant was unvailed by United Co-operatives of Ontario to approximately 500 Ontario Co-opera- tive and affiliated farm organization officials; employees and guests. Boasting one of the largest ware- houses and one of the most modern feed plants in Canada, the Guelph operation will supply 72 co-operatives located in south-western and northern Ontario. The remaining 80 co-opera- tives in eastern part of the province are presently being supplied by United Co-operative feed plants at Kemptville and Peterborough. The new Guelph plant will replace the two now outdated feed plants which the United Co-operatives of Ontario own in Guelph. With a 24- hour capacity of 400 tons, the new plant will almost double the present capacity of the two Guelph plants and eventually will require less manpower. Main units of the new plant are a three-story warehouse with floor space of almost 50,000 square feet, a mod- ern office and laboratory, 12 silos with storage copacity of 84,000 bushels and the 'mixing department. Forty mixing bins, 15 ingredient bins -and six grinder. bins, plus the 12 silos give the plant a total holding- capacity of almost 150,000 bushels. Mixing is done by a two-ton travelling scales. Bulk_ deliveries of grain and ingredients to the plant are speedily handled by a pneumatic unloader. The new Guelph plant is part of a current million and a quarter dollar capital expansion program of United Co-operatives of Ontario. In charge of the Guelph plant will be Alfred Walberg, manager of the United Co- operatives of Ontario's feed Depart- ment. . County-tours to visit the new plant will be held later in May. In these tours it is planned that farmers from a majority of the counties in Ontario .rical power to Ontario's consumers, {Union Half Million Dollars For Ontario County Roads Half a million dollars is a lot of money in any man's language and that is approximately the amount that will be spent on Ontario County roads in 1956. Last week the county road board carried out its semi-annual road in- spection. Three days were spent in covering the 248 miles of roads. Near- ly 700 miles were travelled in the in- spection tour which extended from Lake Ontario to Washago at the nor- thern end of the county. Visit Each Township Criss crossing the county, each twp. was visited in town. The past winter has been relatively kind to the roads and no really bad break up has oc- curred. The previous year many roads were impassible and major -re- pair work had to be carried out, The County Road system is admini- stered by a County Road Committee elected by Ontario County Council, who work 'in close association with County Engineer R. I. Sims. During the open months of the year, some 80 employee: carry out the year's program of malutenance, re- construction and paving operations. During the winter. a_crew of 20 Keep the snow plows and sanders in opera- tion and attend to routine mainten- ance, ) Five years ago a program aimed at reconstruction and paving was adop- ted. County council found the high annual cost of maintenance of gravel roads was money largely wasted with little to show for it. Paving Wise Move It is now very apparent that the dedsion to pave more roads was a wise one. It is estimated that in the net five years most of the more im- portant roads will be paved.

The records of past years show that about 85 per cent of these fires are man-caused, either through carelessness: or deliberately. Under the new law enforcement set- up, arson in the bush is to be tracked down relentlessly and such erimes against the community and public safety punished severely. The Provincial Police Force will continue to work with the Department as in the past but two special consta- bles have heen relieved of all other duties to permit full-time attention to investigation of fires, preparation of evidence against suspects and other work towards tracking down fire causes. Sergt. EF, V. McNeill has posted Provincial Constable G. A. MeMonagle™to Kenora and Provincial Constable W. H. Moss to North Bay. Fach has attended the series of meet- ings across the Province held for sum- mer woods operators and all others concerned with forest fire safety and has become familiar with Department staff and operation techniques. "Or main idea is to get at the cause of fires because only by know- ing the cause can we eliminate these dangers," said T. E. Mackey, Chief of the Department's Division of Forest Protection. . Sergt., McNeill has notified * his staff: "These two special appoint- ments do not in any way change the 'existing policy pertaining to the in- vestigation of fovest fires.

Drew Says: "Call Election On Pipeline" OTTAWA Opposition leader Drew Monday challeneged the government to call an election to test public feel- ing on the cross-Canada gas pipeline issue. He said in the Commons that Prime Minister St. Laurent and Liberal mem- bers have "blasted" of public support of their government. "Very well, let them test that sup- port," Mr. Drew said. } His election challenge showed a similar challenge made last week by CCE leader Coldwell whose party is also opposed (0 the pipeline financing plan.
