The after- -noon meeting was held in the Town- ship hall at Brechin; the evening meet- ing in the Township Hall at Man- chester. 3 Mr. W. P. Watson, Live Stock Com- missioner for Ontario, was the speak- er. He outlines the néw Brucellosis Control Area Policy. In general this proposed Brucellosis Control Area Policy is very similar to that of the TB Restricted Area Plan which has been in operation in Ontario County for many years. 'The Brucellosis Con. trol Area Policy includes testing, dis- posal of reactors, compensation and control in the movement of cattle. Compensation up to $40.00 on grades and $100.00 on purebreds will be paid on reactors. The free vaccination of calves as sponsored by the Ontario Department of Agriculture will be continued. - The U.S.A. is planning to be Bruce- llosis free by 1960. 'Several States are already Brucellosis Free Area and are restricting' the importation of cattle. Last year over $10,000,000 worth . of cattle 'were exported from the Province of Ontario to the United States. If we wish to continue ex-. porting to this market, it will be ne- cessary for us to raise the_ health status of our cattle, ; Several counties in the Province have already canvassed their cattle owners and petitions have been signed with high majorities in favour of com- {ing under - the: Brucellosis - Control Policy. At the conclusion of the meet- ings in Ontario County, it was decided that petitions would be circulated as soon as possible in all townships of the County, Township committees were appointed and it is expected that |. canvassing will be compléted in most townships by March 1st. f The chairmen of the various town- ship committees are as follows: RAMA--Gordon McArthur, Washaga MARA--M.

Liberal Candidate Challenges Conservative Member Early this week, Claude Vipond, the probable Liberal candidate in Ontario Riding challenged the sitting Conser- vative member to debate on any topic in various locations in Ontario Riding. In" issuing the challenge Claude Vi- pond said that it was only fair to the voters of Ontario Riding to see their candidates and hear them debate var- pious topics of public interest and he said that he hoped that the Conserva- tive candidate would accept the chal. lenge. When questioned about the topies for debate, Vipond indicated that there were many issues facing the electorate, one very obvious one was the question of the election itself and the terrific expense the Country was put to needlessly, then he men- tioned the trade problems ,the lack of action on employment and the farm problem, Boys and Girls 4-H Organized 4-H Club work for rural boys and girls from 12 to 20 years of age has definitely become an important part of Agricultural Extension programs. It provides a practical training in Agriculture and Home Economics as a supplementary training and is not a substitute for formal education.

This was 'thé presentation of a Master Breeder Shield made at the annual ecting of the Holstein-Friesian As- sociation of Canada, held February 6. in Toronto. The presentation was made on behalf of the Association 'by Theodore Prescott, Lacona, N.Y. Mr. Prescott is Assaciate Editor of the authoritative Holstein-Friesian Wor. ld, Which occupies - much the same | magazine does in boxing, Mr. Cerswell has achieved the dis- tinction of being a master breeder in the comparatively short period of 24 years, having purchased his. first group of five foundation cows from Oxford County in 1984, "To be a successful a man must have the strength of his convictions, and must be willing to take a calcul.' ated risk to back his judgement," said Mur. Cerswell, recalling how he and a neighbour, J, J. E. .McCague, of All- iston, had taken just such a calculat- ed risk and had streched their credit to the limit when in 1940 they jointly paid $1,325 for the bull Montvie Rag Apple Marksman. This was a large price at the time, but Marksman vin. dicated their judgement by going on to become -one or the most famous animals of the Holstein breed. He was six times All-Canadian Bull, is one of the leading sires of both type and production, and has sired many high-priced progeny including a son for the Canadian record sale price of $40.000. His owners refused offers as high as $50,000 for Marksman.

In true pioneer spirit he dressed in all the warm face with scarf and snow goggles be- fore he faced the storm; and he did get to school, It js something of this spirit that has made our country the wonderful place that jt is. Is this spirit dying out? How many. young folk would even entertain the idea of fucing the storm in order to attend school? Have we had things so easy that we do not know how to behave in real difficulties? How does one cultivate this indomitable spirit and how does one teach the younger gen- eration the difference between being brave and being fool hardy ?
