cent of all pigs in Ontario die before wean ing age Simcoe County pork producers were told at workshop in Barrie this week The result is lower income for farmers and higher costs for the consumer University of Guelph veterinarians told about 50 farmers in the Continental Inn We are trying to make farmers aware of disease pro blems and emphasize methods that can be adopted to control and prevent disease said Dr Peter Oliver swine diseases consultant The technology is here to raiSe pigs economically The problem is to motivate the farmers he said If tell them about the costs involved sometimes that is good motivator BETTER CARE Dr John Martin assistant consultant said the average pork producer could boost his income $16000 annually by tak ing better care of his pigs The experts from Guelph described better housing ven tilation feeding and veterinary care for the animals The major killers of pigs are two respiratory diseases Atrophic rhinitis and enzootic pneumonia and internal parasites SHOWS WAY Mr Martin said Rumania in southeast Europe is one couri try that has cut the death rate of young pigs to five per cent Pigs are weaned after six weeks The Rumanians have tremendous amount of labor which is expensive here he said They can have someone sit with sow that is about to give birth While such attention may not be possible in anada he said better care is possible and it makes economic sense to the in dividual farmer Restraint goals cited by Centre Simcoe MPP By ARTHLR EVANS MPP Simcoe Centre The major theme in the Throne Speech of the current session was one of restraint in government spending have used this report more than once to talk with you about the idea of restraint in order to beat back inflation Without becom ing tedious believe that it is an important topic which re quires considerable explana tion Why Because the citizens of Ontario want and expect their government to set good exam ple They want to know precisely the ways in which limiting government spending will affect their lives in terms of the various public services available to them Many people are hurting badly from infla tion They have had to make hard choices in their own per sonal lives about using their money wisely for their basic needs They expect the same type of leadership at the provin ciallevel At the same time however people expect their provincial government to save public funds in an efficient and effec tive manner In reducing ex penditures they do not want to see services affected in hocuspocus manner Within those guidelines the Ontario government is putting that commitment into practice HEALTH CARE Let me illustrate The Throne Speech outlined the necessity to maintain the highest levels of health care while at the same time making it as costeffective as possible That means reducing the total number of beds and integrating services among hospitals in the same area That does not mean reducing the number of nursing home beds nor chopping ambulance services public health units home care of community men tal health programs All essential health care needs of Ontarios people will be met but health resources will be used more effectively Yet operating under such constraints does not render government inactive Many things still remain to be under taken in host of policy fields The Throne Speech demonstrated the types of legislative action to be im plemented in law enforce ment labor relations agriculture housing and energy During this session William Newman will introduce volun tary farm income stabilization plan This plan will differ substantially from the com pulsory scheme put into opera tion by the previous New Democratic Government of British Columbia In addition new goals will be set to increase productivity of agricultural lands and the use of less pro ductive land for housing Whenever farmer produces more commodities it IS necessary to provide practical ways of selling that produce lnnisfil council asked to improve drainage SIROUD After hearing complaint from Crawford area resident lnnisfil council may move to improve drainage along Ardagh Road Mabel Gennings 112 Ardagh Road told council the area has been flooded annually for the past 25 years Council referred the matter to the public works committee for consideration in the 1976 road improvement program Reeve Bill Gibbins said the project was planned last year but time and money ran out Crowning of the road was ac complished said Coun Grant Andrade but that economical measure failed to solve the pro blem Mike Dempster roads superintendent said curb and gutter may be the only solution Council plans to spend about $450000 on road improvements this year The provincial government has been asked to subsidize those plans in the amount of $215000 and ensuring the consumer that produce is carefully inspected In that regard stricter meat in spection of poultry and livestock will be enforced Many more overseas trade mis sions will be promoted through the Ontario Food founcil whose additional respon sibilities will include research into food prices The very essence of our long term stablin as society lies in strong and vital agriculture To help maintain the public safety of Ontario substantial improvements Ontarios ad ministration of justice will be undertaken Specifically the number of judges will be ex panded
