Debts of almost $2 million will hurt local producers The Pedigrain company located in St.Isidore, a venture specializing in the production and sale of seed grain, was forced by its creditors to declare bankruptcy.On February 2, at a crucial meeting, the creditors refused by a majority vote the offer of the company to settle its debts by paying 10¢ on the dollar.The negative vote came from 66 creditors who together were owed $430,000 by the company, while 35 other creditors, to whom the company owed $615,000 voted yes to the motion.Pedigrain was thus forced to declare bankruptcy.This is the fourth case of a farm-related company to go under in our area.The others in the cereal business were in Ste.Barbe, St.Louis de Gon- zague and St.Polycarpe.Once again local farmers have been hit by a bankruptcy, amounting to almost two million dollars.Quebec\u2019 not al article entitled resolution based on makes more from a lower quant farmers who want C&T Modern equipment company.\\ Last year

agricole of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu for $76,000, the Royal Bank of Canada in Chateauguay for $232,000 and the Banque Nationale du Canada in St- Jean for $16,000.Privileged creditors are: the municipality of St.Ididore for $1,858.92, Revenue Quebec for about $15,000 and Revenue- Canada for $3,100.Non-guaranteed creditors are farmers who sold their Health watch by Phil Norton Reactions to last week's report on a confirmed case of rabies in the Valley have ranged from mild surprise to serious concern.Veterinarians have come forth with advice on vaccinating pets and physicians have offered public warnings to pet owners.Dr.André Allard of the Department of Health at the Valleyfield Hospital says there\u2019s no epidemic yet \u201cbut there could be one if we don\u2019t watch it.\u201d He knows of five confirmed cases of rabies carried by grain to Pedigrain, transportation companies and many other firms.Farmers account for about a third of the 186 non- guaranteed creditors.For farmers.the bankruptcy of Pedigrain is another set-back, especially since the crops last season were not the best due to drought.Farmers were expecting the money from the sale of barley, buckwheat or wheat to Pedigrain to come in around holiday time.Instead they got the news two days before Christmas that they wouldn't get their money.Many farmers are dubious about the bankruptcy since according to some information.the 1983 financial statement showed the company to be in a sound position.In view of this situation, it Huntingdon, Que., Wednesday, February 20, 1985.16 pages.40

other parts of Quebec, from Ontario, the states and even Alberta.All the assets owned by Pedigrain have been put up ror sale by Zittrer, Siblin et Associés.Pedigrain had holdings at 1091 St.Regis Street in St.Isidore as well as at 1259, Montée de I'Eglise in St.Blaise.Assets include land and buildings at the two business addresses, the inventory of seed grain, all kinds of machinery, office equipment, rolling stock and even crop certificates.Those interested had only up to February 15 to make an offer on one of the lots.COVERING HUNTINGDON, ORMSTOWN, HEMMINGFORD, HOWICK, FRANKLIN, ST-ANICET, STE-BARBE AND SURROUNDINGS Autited Paid Circulation Department says out for rabies foxes and a dog since December 1984 in what he refers to as the Huntingdon area.The cases have been primarily in the St.Regis Indian Reserve, southwest of the Town.The situation, he says, is endemic, meaning that there are always some cases in the animal community.Dr.Allard notes that there are always rabies in Ontario (said to have the highest number of cases annually in North America) and at regular cycles rabid animals migrate in to western Quebec.Last year warnings were being made in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region and near Hudson.Although no cases have been reported recently in Chateauguay County Quebec, there have been rabies warnings given in the Chateaugay, New York area.Allan and Marilyn Howie who discovered a rabid fox a couple weeks ago in Franklin have completed four of their rabies shots with only one to go.They were advised by Claudette LaSalle of the Health Department to get the treatment after Mrs.Howie killed the fox with a shovel and her husband got rid of the carcass.Four large dogs and eight cats of the Howies and their neighbors were destroyed on the recommendation of the district veterinarian of Agriculture Canada and all of the bodies were burned.Mr.Howie also had to cut the fox\u2019s head off himself in order to have it sent for rabies lab tests.The Health Department Emphasizes that rabies is a mortal disease and it is very important to be vaccinated as soon as possible after contact.Their number in Valleyfield is 371-6313 CVESPA by Phil Norton The February 11 open house of the Chateauguay Valley English-Speaking Peoples\u2019 Association was more than a chance to show off its new Hun- tingdon office above the post office.To CVESPA, a regional affiliate of Alliance Quebec, it was a chance to celebrate a turning-point year which saw its membership shoot up from only 300 in early 1984 to over 2,000 by year's end.The popularity of the organization is due to the enthusiasm of its new president and the grassroots efforts of its area representatives.The association has let its presence be known through fair booths, workshops in all parts of the Valley and a regular column and ads in The Gleaner.The office illustrates the association's renewed vigor.Janel Hicks, Communications Director is in charge of carrying out the board's mandates.She supervises the office of two full-time and three part- time employees.They work on programs celebrates its most productive year and new office cit ii ail, LA CVESPA

open and will not be modified to be used for other purposes.That's what the chairman of the board Laurent Nadeau and the director general Paul-André Gervais emphasized to La Gazette editor last week, adding that the Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Emergency care, said Nadeau, is an integral part of the hospital's main function which has been described as an institution for short-term care.It follows that the hospital must give emergency treatment.Other services include laboratories, physiotherapy and radiology departments.There were rumors going around that the Emergency Department would be closed shortly.With their public statement the two hospital spokesmen want to squash all these rumors, while at the same time assuring the population about the will not close continuation of this service considered essential for the area.The director general wants to underline the fact that last year the Emergency Department treated nearly 11,000 cases, which clearly shows the need for such a service.The Emergency Department is a sort of insurance policy for the people in the Huntingdon area, since it's open at all times.A doctor is on call any hour of the day or night.Hemmingford RCMP plans to move east in April by Marlene Campbell The Roval Canadian Mounted Police have been in Hemmingford for many years but their office will soon move to Lacoile.Mrs.Mercedes Pierre-Langlois, a former resident of Hemmingford.gave the Gleaner some history of the R.C.M.P.in Hemmingford as her late husband, Mr.Svlvio Langlois was a RC MP officer in this area some vears ago.In the early 1930s the R.C.M.P.wus known by a different name but had the same uniform There were two officers named Laliberte and Smith who had an office at the Hotel Frontiere Inn.During the late 1930s or early 1940s the office was moved to the upstairs of Stringer\u2019s Store.This building burned December 30, 1970.W.B.Smith's store is located on this property now.From Stringer\u2019's Store the R.CMP.moved to the house, on Lachapelle street, which was built in 1962 and has housed the detachment from that time to the present.However, the present building is no.longer suitable for the needs of the RCM.P and they are planning to move.The idea of moving is not a new one.Four or five years ago it was discussed that the Hemmingford office would be moved to St.Jean but after long studies there was a change of plans and the Hemmingford office was left open.The present building belongs to the R.C.M.P.but no longer meets the requirements needed for office space, security and other facilities.It would cost $175,000 in repairs and renovations to meet the requirements.The R.C.M.P.looked in Hemmingford for other facilities but were unable to find any that would meet the requirements.Their search for the best solution for the best price led them to Lacolle.They will be moving into a government building, on 9 de l'Eglise Nord, beside the Post Office.Presently interior renovations are being done to meet the requirements.They expect to move by the end of April but there may be delays.With the move comes a larger territory to cover.The R.CM.P.will be covering Lacolle as well as Hemmingford which is an increase of 18 kilometres.Guy Beauparlant, Corporal of the Hemmingford Detachment would like the Hemmingford residents to know that they should expect the same service that they have received in the past years. 2\u2014 THE GLEANER \u2014 FEBRUARY 26 1985 This and That in Town Prepared by Ramona Rougeris, Assistant Editor of The Gleaner ee IT WAS JUST A YEAR AGO - in fact, on February 15, that the Town of Huntingdon and immediate vicinity were hit by the worst flooding experienced in many years.Even though the ice build-up is

1984, the French Second Language Study Committee recommended that the PRSB of Chateauguay Valley hire the Research Group of McGill University headed by Dr.Wallace Lambert.It was felt that such expertise was needed to design and carry out a formal evaluation of the performance of the board's secondary V students in French Second Language.This analysis was needed to provide the committee with an unbiased and accurate rating of the effectiveness of the two French instruction programmes presently offered by the P.R.S.B.C.V.As well it would reveal to the Board whether or not extra French was needed in Chateauguay Valley schools.The research team was further asked to draw a comparison between our students\u2019 results and those obtained in other boards by students enrolled in alternative methods of second language instruction.The information thus provided would place the committee in a better position to study possible alternatives.The research proposal received the Commissioners\u2019 approval at the September 10, 1984, Board Meeting.The testing took place in October and the Programmes of Study\".was presented to the committee on January 16, 1985.The study shows that the performance of the students following the regular curriculum, in cluding a daily class of French second language, falls significantly below that of the Six-Plus students.These findings are confirmed by the French speaking skills test which was administered exclusively to those two groups.The research demonstrates further that even though the Six-Plus programme \u2018\u2018produces students whose French skills are significantly better than those of the students in French second language groups\u2019, their skills are significantly lower than those enrolled in later (grades 7 & 8) or early (Kindergarten to 6) immersion programmes.\u201cThe mean scores for the Six-Plus group do not indicate that these students are fluent in French™.Scores from the late immersion group do not significantly differ from those of the early immersion group on the Reading Comprehension test, the Cloze test, and the Listening Comprehension test.A difference was noted in favour of the Early Immersion group on the test of \u2018Rendement en Francais\u2019.A comparison of scores obtained in the local research with those of groups in Ontario was added to provide a wider scope to the study.\u201cGenerally the results are similar to those obtained from the Montreal area analysis\u201d.Another interesting point was raised regarding the social attitudes of the students.Researchers report that, \u2018children in immersion programmes generally develop more favorable attitudes to both major Canadian ethnolinguistic groups, while maintaining positive self-views, than do French second language comparison groups of students\u2019.DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE.EF CHLES [= S.Q.M.A.F.A.(Mutual Aid) QUESNEL, MASSE & ASSOCIES COMPTABLES AGREES .CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS 99 SALABERRY

objective this year is to get 600 new members.Luc Lapointe, chairman of the Valleyfield association, says that his executive committee together with all the Chamber's members, are ready to make an all-out effort to achieve this goal.Lapointe went on to explain why businessmen from Huntingdon, Orm- stown and elsewhere, would find it advantageous to join the Valleyfield (CHEE Chamber of

RABIES: KNOW THE SIGNS Rabies is a disease of the central nervous system.caused by a virus and characterised by an acute inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.Rabies is a natural disease of dogs.cats, bats and wild carnivores or flesh eaters.However, all warm blooded animals are susceptible.including man.Birds are resistant, seemingly due to their high body temperatures.Transmission is accomplished by infective saliva, usually transferred by the bite of a rabid animal.But.any contact of saliva on broken skin 1s considered infective Dogs.cats.skunks.raccoons and foxes are the most commonly affected.From these of course farm ammals can contact the disease by being biten while in the pasture or even while in the barn.It is the wild population that acts as a reservoir for the virus and harbours the disease between flare-ups concerning domestic animals.Farm animals at risk not only constitute a potential write-off loss.but.more importantly, greatly multiply the chances of human exposure.Human exposure are the key words.A human being.unawaringly exposed to infected saliva through broken skin.shall.within a variable incubation period.develop the disease and will die.A similar case where the exposed person is made aware of the possibility and subsequent immunisation is undertaken during the incubation period this person shall not die.The needles given today are not the abdominal nightmare of yesteryear Still it is no picnic.a needle is a needle.The disease can exhibit two forms, one termed the furious form.the other called the paralytic.The furious form .mad dog syndrome that jumps to everyone's minds at the mention of rabies, is an animal that has a bright alert gaze, is very sensitive to noise and movement, will not stand still long and can inflict considerable damage to both itself and its surroundings.Foam or saliva at the mouth.an inability to swallow and a change in voice are also seen.This will soon lead to the paralytic form or dumb rabies, whereby a progressive paralysis takes place and the animal is down, immobile and dumb.The paralytic form can exist solely without the previous development of the furious form.Regardless of which form exhibited.the animal always gets progressively worse and dies.The best preventive measure is to have the dog and cat population actively immunized against rabies by recent vaccination, Should you ever be misfortunate enough to encounter a rabid animal, here are a few guidelines In the case of wild animals, which cannot be safely taken alive.dispatch it but do so by leaving the head intact, Wearing protective rubber gloves.remove head.If authorities such as police or a veterinarian are not immediately available.freeze the specimen till vou can reach them.In the case of a domestic dog or cat, isolate the animal and call the proper authorities.A suspected animal is isolated for 10 to 14 days to observe the development of symptoms and possible death Then the head is sent to the laboratory to confirm the diagnosis if necessary.Rabies is not common but it does exist, and ! suspect shall continue to do so for a long time to come.by Dr.William Johnston, D.M.V.100 years ago (from

| ONLY HAVE TO USE COANE WORD | ABAT TOIR | t Proposed quota changes will benefii only small segment of milk producers | have some grave concerns about the possible impact of changes proposed by some dairy farmers in this province with regard to how quota is measured and paid out, especially about the arguments put forth in the Quebec Farmers Advocate this month supporting such changes.I am not saying that any of the arguments were right or wrong in themselves, yet it strikes me that an emphasis on butterfat alone may have serious repercussions for dairy producers and consumers in the future.To demonstrate the seriousness with which this issue should be considered, I want to raise two points.They are only two amongst a multitude of issues that should be fully investigated before we make decisions of any kind on this issue.Nutritive qualities of milk are not related to the butterfat content I.The emphasis on butterfat alone in calculating compensation (as suggested by the proposals) does not consider the genetic development of the milk producing cow now attainable through technology which would meet the milk consumption demand of the future.While higher butterfat content in fact may produce cheaper and better tasting cheeses and butter, higher butterfat content does not significantly affect the nutritive value of milk or its products.Milk's food value, besides the value of its fat, lies with the nutrients of protein, vitamins (riboflavin, niacin, folacin, B 12, with vitamins À and D fortified commercially.) and calcium.Thus.we cannot argue, as the article does.that by increasing the butterfat content, we are helping to make more nutritious milk products.Increases in percentage butterfat were at the expense of milk yield.II.According to one of our regional agronomes.the Franklin Darleen Sabetta X27-2834 Mary and Gordon Brooks with their son Kenneth returned last Friday the 15 feb.from a week and a half stay un Toronto visiting their daughter.Cathy and her husband David Moffat.During their stav they enjoyed being with their tirst granddaughter.Caitlyn Kimberly, who arrived on Jan.25.This 18 Cathy and David's first daughter real average production of milk per cow in Quebec at present stands at 9,000 lbs.per cow.Under the present system of economic returns in milk production one must have a 15,000 lb.average cow to be considered a genuinely viable operation with fair profit/return for milk produced.In 10 years, I am told.the minimum average required in this way could be as high as 20,000 lbs.using the present compensation system.The reasons for these seemingly high required averages relate to high start-up costs (prices of quotas being one).increasing fixed costs (land, buildings and equipment), not to mention the increasing pressure to use high technology in such variable costs as breeding, etc.The economies of milk production technology simply require higher yields if the producer is to earn a living from the efforts.Yet, we all know that with the kind of genetic development technology we now possess, it is possible to remarkably improve herd standards fat a cost of course).Most significantly, this genetic technology makes it possible to develop overall high quality (of all of the milk\u2019's components) and yielding milking cows.To encourage high butterfat as the economic incentive for milk production would naturally, in the long run, divert such genetic development towards increased butterfat producing cows and away from the improvement of all of the components of milk content and yield.This would also, in my view, lead to genetic stagnation.Moreover.in Ontario, where butterfat is stressed in the compensation structure, it is still rare to see herds with averages any higher than 4% butterfat, while also maintaining the preferred 12-13 month calving intervals for cows.It is also claimed that the increases in percentage butterfat achieved in Ontario were at the expense of milk yield.An example: Which cow is best Let us go through a hypothetical example using ideals from genetic development at the high end of each scale.that of pounds vield on one end of the scale and that of an ideally high percentage of butterfat at the other end.At one end of this scale we can look at developing a cow which yields 30,000 Ibs.with 4%, butterfat content \u2018the genetically developed ideal overall quahty and vielding cow and at the other end we can look at the cow developed to produce 15,000 Ibs with 6%, butterfat (the genetically developed high butterfat cow.The 30,000 lbs.49, cow has already to be attainable realistically.while the 6° butterfat cow as nat as realistic yet, so I am being generous with the possibilities for the high butterfat cow.Now.converting butterfat to the economics dictated by the proposal, the production equivalent for the 30,000/4% cow would be 1,200 Ibs.of butterfat, while the 15.000/6% cow's equivalent would only be 900 lbs.a 300 Ib.difference for total butterfat production in weight.Even for those presently in the high end of the butterfat test range, it is easy to see in which cow the real long run advantage lies.In looking to develop the future cow, it is obvious that to work on developing a high quality overall producing cow with a lower per cow butterfat average still can yield more total butterfat per cow than from the cow that could be developed solely in the butterfat genes.But the person who is working towards producing the high overall quality producing cow will be penalized under the proposal for compensation changes, since there is a provincial quota in kilos of butterfat.If the same producer is paid in litres and there is an overall increase in butterfat percentages per cow, the volume of milk produced in Quebec will have to decreased in the long run.I've tried to demonstrate that we must not only look at comparing present averages of butterfat and litres to assess financial differences to individual producers (as the tables in the article did), but must also seriously look at the impact such changes on likely per cow averages of the future.This is for the sake of both the consumer and the producer.If lower per cow butterfat percentages can produce more or equal total butterfat available to the processing market (and hence the consumer) at the same technological cost as is involved in producing only a high butterfat yielding cow, then it makes more sense to me to work in the direction of the overall high quality and yielding cow.In the end we will then also be producing more quantity of quality nutrients for the consumer market, not just butterfat.No remarkable records in Quebec I dont, in any way.profess to have expert knowledge on the technical aspects involved here, nor do I have many answers to the many questions it raises.Yet the scenario outlined above concerns me very much if we are going to go blindly in the direction Ontario took some time ago.Especially since in Quebec, we, as producers on average, do not have remarkable records or yields for production in butterfat or milk, when compared to Ontario Lastly, the proposals in the article

producer population, and this may very well be only a short run benefit even to them.I suggest that prior to even considering changing the compensation structure for milk in Quebec, all variables and trends should be studied carefully.Some important questions should be fully answered and measurable weights established on types of viable compensation structures to meet the present and future needs of both the producer and consumer of milk.The Union des Producteurs de Lait represents all milk producers in the Province of Quebec.It is their moral obligation to assist producers in reaching a consensus about a compensation structure, one that benefits all as equally as possible.It would he most unfair to adopt a compensation structure which favours one segment of the milk production population over the other.I suggest that there are institutions within the province and abroad with the necessary expertise and resources to explore fully many alternatives possible and to estimate viable future directions given technology and economic trends.1 think these institutions would be more than happy to assist us with the information and studies we need to develop a structure that is not only fair presently.but one that will ensure the long run viability of milk producers in the province, Adrien Knoops Hemmingford native Melvin A.Ferns dies Melvin A.Ferns, 74, of Maple Street,

near the site where the Cleyn & Tinker Company got its start, is a spinning mill.Equipped with the most modern machines for the production of worsted yarn, the plant has an area of some 60,000 square feet and manufactures about 20,000 kilos of yarn per week of five days, working 24 hours a day.The production cycle is from three to five weeks.which means that slivers put on intersecting will come out of the mill as yarn, packed, ready to ship to the weave-room about three to five weeks later.Plant 2 can process from 70 to 140 different lots at a time.Raw material The raw material used in spinning comes from Plant 1 as slivers of wool or polyester-wool mixes of which about 80 per cent are dyed, and 20 per cent white.Preparation processes at Plant 2 are intended to draft the slivers, in order to produce as regular a yarn as possible for this is the basis for obtaining good quality.The first operation undergone by slivers at Plant 2 is again intersecting, similarly to the last stage of production at Plant 1.This process aims at getting the size of the sliver and the fibre mix as uniform as possible.From there, slivers are put on roving frames where they are given a slight twist while being drafted some more.After this process, the sliver will have become a \u2018roving\u2019 which will be only a tenth the size of a sliver.Spinning Next comes the spinning & Tinker plants Modern equipment, cooperation are key to success at Plant 2 operation itself.Plant 2 has 30 spinning frames.which are long, narrow machines.extending as far as the eye can see in the large spinning room.The size of the yarn is determined in spinning by drafting.At the same time.the yarn is also twisted.To get a strong yarn, attention must be given to the following factors: regularity, the number and length of fibres, twist and size of the yarn.The people working in the spinning department feed the machines, piece up broken ends, take off bobbins when they are full, and clean the equipment and the department.All of these tasks are important for the maintenance of good quality and productivity.After spinning, rovings have been changed into yarn, which is wound on bobbins, and placed in a steamer where the humid heat will help set the twist in the yarn.Single winding After the steaming process, the yarn is put on the Schweiter machines for single winding.These machines, imported from Switzerland, are a wonder to watch.Completely automated, these robot-like machines seem almost human as they perform their difficult and delicate tasks.Besides winding the yarn on cones, the Sch- weiters also piece up broken ends automatically and through an electronic detector they are able to reject faulty yarn.The plant presently has 2i Schweiters in operation.About a quarter of the production coming off the single winders is shipped directly to the weave-room (Plant 4).For the remaining 75 per cent, it's converted into 2-ply yarn, future colleagues in this area.Where the textile

ailing domestic textile and clothing industries, much of it based in Quebec.\u201d Further on, the article mentions that 54 per cent of the employment in the textile and clothing industry is concentrated in small Quebec towns within a two-hour drive from Montreal.The article also states that other developed countries protect their domestic market much more than Canada, for example 85 per cent of U.S.textiles and clothing is covered by quotas, compared to just 20 per cent in Canada.Another point mentioned is that the average hourly wage in Canadian spinning and weaving mills is $8.50, compared with less than $2 in Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan which account for about a third of all textile imports to Canada.The article quotes Jock White, president of hand | knitting yarn
