Hermitage 104 Head Ayrshires Bod To Idaho Farms Send Largest Shipment to U.S. Purebred Shipped and Utah Six Hours Required to Load Valuable Consignment at Pickering Station Yester- day -- Party of Three to Care for Their Needs During Five-Day Journey "The largest shipment of purebred cattle by an individual breeder started yesterday on its way to the United States when 104 head of Ayrshires from the Hermitage Farms were loaded onto boxcars at Pickering station, This shipment is being made, appropriately enough, | by the largest Canadian breeders of purebred Ayrshires, E, L. Ruddy and Robert Ruddy, who own the Hermitage Farms in Pickering, In doing this the Ruddy's broke their own previous records for the largest shipment; as they sent 98 head to the United States last year. The cattle have been purchased by a group of breeders in the states of Idaho and Utah, and all but three are cows who are due to calve within 20 to 90 days of deliv- ery. In fact some of them have already calved, one with twins, and 11 calves are included in the ship- ment. Another four of the cows are expected to calve on the five- day trip. Three of this shipment are bulls, all with pedigrees of considerable length, and to our mind not parti- cularly comfortable travelling com- panions. Magnificient Young Bull One of these, at least, is worth special mention, as the purchaser asked for a young bull which would take prizes in the agricultural fairs in the US. The white (and red) hope that the Ruddy's are sending is a magnificent specimen of young bullhood, named Hermitage Royal Killoch, aged 156 months, They be- lieve that he will contribute sub stantially to the breeding of his owner, and are sure that he will be a prize-winner of repute be- fore his career is finished. It is no mean task shipping a hundred head of cattle 2,550 miles, and the arrangements that are necessary demand considerable thought, The route is carefully planned with the railroad com- panies so that water will be avail- able for the herd at the proper in- tervals, Customs regulations have to be followed, and each cow is named separately on the sheets, The boxcars themselves have to be prepared for the trip, Watering troughs must be built, and in these days of steel shortage it is no mean job finding enough galvanized iron to build troughs in six , boxcars Storage space for the hay feed is essential, For this planks are laid at each end of the car above the level of the cattle and stowed with bales of hay. In addition the cattle must be fed, watered and attended to, par- ticularly if calving, so someone has to go with them in the boxcars. Robert Ruddy, Willlam Ness, who is the manager of the farms, and Fred Kirby are making the trip this year and they will make their beds on the platforms above the cattle for the five-day journey, At least one of them is taking with | him a deck chair which he intends to place between two cows at the door of the car. From this he ex- LARGEST SHIPMENT (Continued on Page 8) * * % late new s flashes By CANADIAN PRESS Hear Report Will Be In General Terms OTTAWA--A small group Industrial Relations Committe the report the committee will of members of the Commons e today worked on a draft of make to Parliament, but indi- cations were it would be in general terms and would not specify any figure or wage increase.

Steel Cargo Stopped In Lachine Canal MONTREAL--Canada steamship lines freighter "Sel- kirk", carrying 38,000 tons of steel from the strike bound Hamilton plant of the Steel Company of Canada, lay tied up today in the Lachine canal where it was halted by a force of several hundred men said to be members of the United Steel- workers (C.1.O.) The "Selkirk" which passed, without in- cident, through locks at Cornwall, Coteau Landing and Cas- cade Point was prevented from passing through the first lock of the Lachine canal by the force, said to be employees of the Canadian Tube Products, General Steelware and Do- minion Bridge.

If the shutdown extends over a month, retain merchants are crossing their fingers, knocking on wood and re- fusing to be quoted. The manager of a large chain grocery and meat market was of the opinion that the layoff would not affect his business to any ex- tent for at least three weeks. "If it lasts longer than that, I can only hope for the best," he said. "It will certainly affect the buy- power of Oshawa, if the shut- down should last a long time," stat- ed G Garner, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. "It would be felt in all sections of the city."

N. OSHAWA WALK MEETS OBSTACLES Council to Set 30 M.P.H. Speed Limit to Fifth Con. Road The prospect of extending the Simooe Street sidewalk north to North Oshawa School this year was di last night as County Engi- neer D, J. Kean told East Whitby Township Council that a new pro- vincial ruling called for the widen- ing by 10 feet on both sides, of all surburban roads approaching cities. He explained that this would in- volve sooner or later the purchase of the necessary property for such a widening and meanwhile it would be futile to go ahead with the lay- ing of sidewalk. . Kean suggested that the Township pass a bylaw prohibiting the erection of any building within 30 feet of the present road line, He sald that the matter would be dis- cussed further at a meeting of the Suburban Roads Commission which is being held tonight. '30 M.P.H. Limit In connection with this area also, council instructed that a bylaw be prepared setting a speed limit of 30 miles per hour from Ross' Corners north to the fifth concession road. This had been recomthended at a previous meeting and the county engineer, making a similar recom+ mendation, pointed out that it was up to the township to take action.

H. Lightbourn and fined $10 without costs. In passing sentence, His Worship said that there was no doubt in his mind that there had been a breach of the bylaw, that the accused was not a farmer and that the area in estion could be classed as "'dense- populated", He added, however, that the accused had "apparently conducted the business in the most inoffensive manner that a business of this kind could be conducted." The Township was represented by A. W, 8. Greer, K.C. and the ac- cused, who pleaded not guilty, by J. C. Andemon, K.C. The charge, laid on July 5 last, was that Prevost had-kept mink in an area other than a farm area a distance less than 250 yards from dwellings other than his own, con- trary to a bylaw passed by the township on May 28 last. The con- tention of the defence was that the accused was a farmer, that is a fur farmer, and that this could not roperly be termed a densely popu- ated area. Pointing out that it was gradually being built up on the edge of the city Mr, Anderson submitted that in trying to arrive at a con- clusion, the evidence of the medical officer of health should be taken in- to consideration. 'He sald further that there was evidence that mink should not be moved in the spring and that the accused had moved them subsequent to the charge be- ing laid. The first witness called was Stew- art Sparling; township assessor, who said that the property in question was Lot 3, Plan 268, on the north side of Orchard View Blvd, and that it had a depth of 119 feet seven inches and a frontage of 100 feet.

DRAINAGE PROJECT Township Council Adopts Recommendation of County Engineer Adopting a report presented by County Engineer D, J, Kean, East Whitby Township Council last night decided to commence work on the installation of storm sewers in the Cordova Road area, a project etti= mated at something over $3,000. While it was pointed out that owing to the scarcity of tile it was highly unlikely that the. project could be completed this year, it was decided to at least make a start on it. The drainage situation in this area has been under consideration by the council for several years but no satisfactory solution to the prob« lem had been arrived at previously. Certain arrangements have yet to be worked out in regard to one piece of private property involved, but in the main, the plan recommended by the county engineer last night was considered to be satisfactory. Plans call for the installation of 12-inch storm sewer on Cordova Road for a distance of 780 feet to Mill Street; 10-inch sewer along Mil] . Street from Malaga Road to Cordova Road, a distance of 358 feet; 15-inch sewer on Mill Street from Cordova to Valencia Road, a distance of 500 feet; 15-inch sewer on Valencia Road for 300 feet east from the Mill Street intersection; and then 24-inch sewer east for a distance of approximately 500 feet. The project will also involve the ine stallation of nine catchbasins, The township will Undertake the work itself and Mr, Kean eftimated that in addition to tile, ich is being made by the township, the cost wold be nearly $3,000. Road Superintendent Howard Hoskin pointed out that tile would be the hold-up in any storm sewer gre at the present time, It was felt, however, that this project was urgently needed and at least a start should be made as soon as possible. Meanwhile a delegation of four residents of the Elmgrove Avenue area appeared before the council asking that storm sewers be instale led in that area, including Alexane der Blvd, Pine Avenue and Wests mount Avenue. It was pointed out that there was a limit to the amount of sewer work that could be completed this year and that it was necessary to do the most important first. The road sue perintendent said, however, that there were plans for laying sewers on Alexander Blvd, and Elmgrove Avenue, Sewer Completed Park Road South On report by the contractors that the Park Road South sewer is prace tically finished, East Whitby Towne ship Council last night instructed that a bylaw be prepared authorize ing payment of the township's share of the expenditure, which is being borne jointly with the City oft Oshawa and the Province of One tario.
