The guest speaker on this occasion was Mr. Abner B. Martin, President of the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada. Mr. Martin indicated that he had enjoyed his year as President of the parent association, and appreciated the opportunity to meet with breeders in Canada and other: countries. He noted that Canada was exporting cattle to more countries than ever before, and that many countries are making rapid advances = in the im- 1 € provement of their cattle, If Canadian breeders are to maintain their position as leaders in the Holstein business, he indicated that we must use the best tools thal are available, and at the same time recognize that. these Lools are available to almost everyone through the use of A.I. Mr, Martin spoke 'on the proposal to identify grade cattle for sire proving purposes, and noted that the Ibreeders of grade cattle should be subject to the same: restrictions as purebred breeders. Mr. Martin was introduced to the meeting by Bob Flett, and was thanked, on behalf of the meeting, for his very splendid and informative talk by Joe McGriskin.

Keeping it clean with Bi pt The Ontario Government's Department of the En-.' vironment has initiated a series of bright, informative weekly columns on a subject that is of conccern to us all: pollution. The column will be written by Bill Dodds, who says he will draw from a growing file of anecdotes and stories of personal involment from those who are doing something about pollution, The STAR is going to try to print these columns on a weekly basis, as space etc. permits. If you, the reader have comments about the column, favourable or otherwise, we would like to hear them. WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, "A western Ontario college stint Rwrote: the Department of the Environment the other day raving about the wonderful pollution study and contro] system, He wanted to know when Ontario was golg to do somethin about pollution. He e thought v we should follow. Japan's ead." LE We thought you knew. That's what the Department of : the Environment is all about. We run Ontario's - pollution control system and it's probably the best in the world. At least that's what all the touring govern- ment people from the United States, Europe and Asia keep telling us. gi Pollution, conservation, noise, waste . . .these are the things that worry us. : - We're working on them. ; We take our orders from George Kerr, the Minister of the Environment in Prime Minister William Davis's Government. Our Air Management Branch tracks down funny smells in the air -- and some things you can't smell -- and gets rid of them if they are dangerous. As far as we know, air pollution hasn't killed or in- jured anyone in Ontgrio. And we are making sure that - it never does. It has happened in other places -- Losidon, Tokyo and ~ New York -- and we're not going to let it happen here. The Environmental Protection Act gives us the . authority to see that it doesn't. Our Waste Management Branch worries' about' garbage -- industrial waste, farm waste, radioactive waste, sewage sludge and the can§ you put out for the _ garbage collector every week. Did you know the average person in Ontario's cities and towns throws away half a ton of garbage a year? If we don't do something, we'll be up to our ears in the stuff. That's what waste management i is all about. The Branch controls how waste is carried away and disposed of. The Branch sets the standards, with Provincial legislation to back them up -- and the operators of disposal systems follow the rules or Sse, 'The Conservation Authorities Branch gives advice, money and knowhow to local groups interested in keeping green places with trees and clean, clear water for us and our children. We're helping 37 local groups who run Conservation Authorities in their watersheds and we are always ready to help a new authority get 'started. The Ontario Water Resources Commission, also a part of the Department of the Environment, does the same thing for our rivers and lakes that the Air Management people do for our air. And they too have the legal muscle to keep things clean; Two new services recently joined the department. One deals with pesticides and the other with private Jewags disposal. We'll have more to sdy about them ater : - That's what it's all about. Now you know.
