J A 4 4 BOBBY SHAW of Queen Street Port Perry is rushing to have this soap box car ready in time for Saturday's races at the public school. Bobby is 12 years old. He made the car himself, "with some help from Dad." Increased producer re- turns to Ontario dairy farmers, for milk going into certain manufactured dairy products, are announced by the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. Effective August 1, 1973, milk for fluid creams, Cot- tage cheese and yoghurt is raised 24 cents per hundred- weight from $5.30 to $5.54. Milk for ice cream mixes, confectionary products, puddings, soups and ster- ilized infant foods is also raised 24 cents per hundred- weight from $5.15 to $5.39. Milk for butter, casein, con- densed and evaporated milk, skim-milk powder, whole milk powder and new products is raised 16 cents per hundredweight from $5.00 to $5.16 per hundred- weight. Prices as quoted are for milk delivered in bulk. Effective August 16, 1973, milk going into the man- ufacture of specialty cheese will be raised 26 cents, from $5.30 per hundredweight to $5.56. No increases have been made for milk for brick or colby type cheeses and cheddar cheese, but it is anticipated that increases for milk going into these products will be announced in September.

McLaughlin, Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, pointed out that monies received for the sale of milk by the Board are pooled. "The pool price increase to dairy farmers," he said, '"'could mean about 13 cents per hundredweight of milk based on past experience in the utilization of milk for manufacturing purposes. The pool price in June for Southern Ontario was $5.08 per hundredweight." This action by the Board follows the recent announce- ment by the Federal Minister of Agriculture of a product support increase of 3 cents per pound on skim- milk powder. Other 'changes announced included a special payment of 56 cents per hundredweight on milk produced within Mar- ket-Sharing Quota, together with a 20 cent per hundred- weight reduction in a levy collected from dairy farmers to offset costs of selling powdered milk in export markets. "This will mean," Mr. McLaughlin said, "that with the Board's pool price increase of about 13 cents, the Federal increase of 56 cents and the 20 cents levy reduction, producers of milk - for manufacturing purposes in the Province will be getting a total increase of approximately 89 cents per hundredweight. The 3 cent a pound increase for skim milk powder was the basis for calculating the Board's price increases." This move by the Federal Government and the Board was taken because of a wet spring that hurt dairy far- mers and the unusually high cost of grain and protein used to feed cows. "It is hoped," -Mr. Mec- Laughlin said, "that these increases will stop a dan- gerous downward trend which the Province is experiencing in the production of milk for man- ufactured products." The Federal Government stressed in its announce- ment of the increases that they have been imple- mented to assist dairy far- mers in meeting the extra- ordinary costs currently facing. they are Museum Anyone in the Port Perry area who says that the Opportunities For Youth Program is a waste of the taxpayers' money, may want to change their opinion after they see what four students in the village and four students, plus one cat, on Scugog Island have accomplished with their grant. Working on Scugog Is- land, three Port Perry High School students, Dave Litt, Jim Taylor, Keith Ellicott and a Georgian College student Rick Appleton, have been involved in a project to do restoration work for the Scugog Shores Museum. 5 DAY WEEK So far, working eight hours a day, five days a week, the boys have an impressive list of ac- complishments. They have restored a horse drawn wagon, a boat used on Lake Scugog, the exterior of a 110-year-old farm house, and a turn-of-the-century outhouse, complete with cresent-moon breathing hole. And the work isn't fin- ished yet. Under grant financing, the Port Perry and Scugog Island Renovation Project, the boys have yet to finish painting the exterior of the museum, paint sections of a 100-year-old church, erect a log cabin and piece together a mystery machine, be- lieved to be used around 1900 to crush potatoes. INTERESTING Rick Appleton, 19, of Scu- gog Island said that the work is hard but inter- esting, because everybody gets to learn a little, since the project involves four or five different skills. None of the boys are skilled PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Aug. 8th, 1973 -- 13 uses OYP grant tradesmen, but they found that they could usually solve most of the problems they encountered, with a collective effort. Even Fred, the cat owned by Keith Ellicott, helps out. The boys report that he doesn't do much, but he's a great listener, if anyone feels like talking while he works. RIP OFF? Rick said: "Some older people feel we may be rip- ping off the government, but we work hard. Besides, if we didn't do the work, it probably wouldn't get done, because the museum just can't afford it." The boys pay themselves from the quarterly allot- ments of the $6,600 grant. High school students earn about $70 per week and students beyond high school earn $90, considerably less than it would cost the museum to hire skilled workers or to pay township workers to do the job. Jack Kane, a Port Perry resident, 'is the closest thing to a director", the boys claim. Mr. Kane has only one regret about the boys' work. "I only wish they had more time to do a lot more work," he said. In Port Perry, the other half of the grant team is earnestly scraping, painting and plastering their way through the interior renov- ation of the Scout Hall. Lyn Couperthwaite and Debbie Cordner, of the Ux- bridge area, and Darcy Wallace and Lee Lane of Port Perry, all find the work difficult but re- warding, because they en- joy being their own boss. Renovations at the Scout Hall have been progressing slowly till now, but the work rate is expected to pick up now that paint colors and finishing touches have beert decided upon by the Scout Committee. Both groups plan to be finished their tasks by the end of August and all would like to apply for another Opportunities For Youth grant next year, if they can find a worthwhile project. NEXT YEAR? Bill Brock, president of the Scugog Historical Society, said that next year he would like to try for a OYP grant to supply the museum with some re- search information which the students could gather by tape recording interviews with older residents of the area. They could also cat- alogue and record tomb- stone inscriptions around the area for the museum's records. Mr. Brock said that there are '"'all kinds of things to be done, but never enough people to do them." "We hope that the people in this community realize the work is done for them. It makes the place a better spot to wvisit,"" said Mr. Brock. He said that the boys "have done some excellent, work and displayed good initiative." Mr. Brock added that the Museum could not have afforded the project without the OYP grant. A full midway will operate in Palmer Park during the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce's second annual Western Weekend August 8 to 12.
