Farm 'Friterti. also. have to face this prob- tem. "Ea;ample: This past week, a lieg producer meeting on Tuesday, . And then three days of discussion at the Marketing and Co-operative Muni Course at the OAC. Certain- ly eilough to fill many columns if repo as it should be. Hence a very sketchy report. First, a "thank y,pu" to the kind co-operation given 'Iv the County Weeklies in reporting the meeting of Federation and affiliated com- modity groups with the local mem- bers of parliament. Vett' briefly, the result of the Hog Producer meeting in Toronto resulted in a decided show of con- fidence by producers in their pres- ent hog marketing method. These producers seemed to feel that it would be impossible for them to come up with an improved mar- keting method by January 16, but they did express willingness to ad- minister to the best of their abil- ity whatever marketing method the Farm Products Marketing Board proposed. From the Guelph conference, I can only attempt to give my gen- eral impressions, rather than a report of the meeting. It seemed to me that far too much attention was given to dif- ferences of opinions „ among the farm organizations, rather than trying to extend the much more numerous points of agreement. Again and again the problem of how the activities of Marketing Boards and Co-op Boards could be reconciled was introduced. This point was probably first introduced by the Minister of Agriculture in reference to the Hog Producers' Marketing Board and the organiza- tion of the "FAME" Co-operative. This problem seems to be of great . concern of those who are doubt- . ful• supporters of either co-ops or marketing boards. There seemed , to be some slight possibility of conflict in the minds of co-op board members, but members of market- ing boards seemed to feel that there was no need whatever for OBITUARIES FRANK LOBB Frank Lobb, 65, Clinton resident about 20 years, died Monday in Stratford General Hospital. Em- ployee of RCAF Station Clinton, he was a former Goderich Township farmer. Survivors include his wife, the former -Fannie Lovett; daughters, Mrs. Derrald (Donna) Ferrin, of Stratford; Mrs. B. W. (Mildred) Young, Oakville; sisters, Mrs. Lorne Jervis, Clinton; Mrs. Robt. Williamson, London; Mrs. C. D. Fox, Teeswater; Mrs. Vera Wit- son, Belleville; Mrs. -George Hen- derson, Brucefield; brothers Bert of Holmesville; Clifford, Clinton, and Fred, Goderich Township. Funeral services are being held at Ball and Mutch funeral home, Clinton, at 2 p.m., Thursday. any point of dissension between the two groups. Since both of these groups have the same objective of improving the conditions of the farmer, I can see no reason for a quarrel, and as long as this remains the pur- pose, there need be no battle. Could it be that because many of the Marketing Board members have at some time previous been directors of local Co-ops, they now have a very detailed knowledge of both co-ops and marketing boards, and therefore have no fears. The Co-op director has full information of his co-op, but lacks something of the same level of understanding of the Marketing Board, and there- fore has a fear proportionate to his lack of knowledge. This would, then, explain the great fears of conflict that seem- ed to be in the minds of those not closely connected with either, Week Of Prayer Lacks Interest (Contributed) As is often the case, the Week of Prayer services began with the elements against it. It was a stormy night for the first service at Egmondville, but , the weather cleared for the remaining services. However, the attendance at all ser- vices ,was much below normal. It appears that apathy is a greaten deterrent than the weather as far as the church members are con- cerned. Each ,year we have an opportunity to express our desire for `oneness' in our churches, and from the attendance it would seem that this was "the farthest thing from our minds and hearts.. - The Week of Prayer provides a splendid opportunity for Christian people to be prayerfully concerned in the areas where our politicians and diplomats have proven inade- quate, namely, a- better under- standing between the peoples of the.world. If in the Church we fail to achieve a spirit of unanimity, whereby we seek to further God's work in our world, then we can very well write off many of the efforts being advanced today for the cause of peace. From the expressions of the lo- cal ministers there is a common agreement that prayer is the Chris- tian's stronghold for the promotion of peace and a better understand- ing amongst men. When Christians throughout the world unite for prayer there is established a real power for good will and a stronger witness to the things in which we all believe. There will no doubt be other `Weeks of Prayer', but our world moves so quickly that a crises could well develop before that opportunity presents itself again in 1962. Some old-fashioned mothers who can remember their husband's first kiss now have daughters who can't remember" their first husbands. Marching Mother In Hensali Drive Outlines Work Since the polio epidemic in the fall of 1959, more than half a mil- lion Salk vaccine injections have been given and a total of 150,000 completed the full three -injection program, This statement was made by Mrs. Howard Scone, Chief March- ing Mother for the March of Dimes Campaign, being held in Hensall January 31. The Mothers' March, which takes one hour each year, will raise the funds to finance the work of the Rehabilitation Founda- tion here and throughout Ontario in 1961. The medical program of the foundation, said Mrs. Scane, be- gins with work for prevention, but the main function of the March of Dimes is rehabilitation and we ac- cept all orthopaedic disabilities, in- cluding accident and other diseas- es, as well as polio victims. Six foundations are now in operation, in Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton, Windsor, The Lakehead and To- ronto. When asked how patients may come to the attention of the Foun- dation, Mrs. Scone said that any- one may refer a patient, but in every case the Foundations checks back with the family physician. In the past 12 months, 1,104 new pa- tients were referred to the Foun- dation from all parts of the prov- ince, All have received assistance, or are now undergoing treatment or training. "We now have the facilities to provide treatment promptly to any disabled man or woman in On- tario," said Mrs. Scane. "The de- mand for services now exceeds the funds available. 'This year 200 March` of Dimes committees in Ontario hope to raise $650,000, but we believe the need will be great- er than this before the year is out. We need every dollar that anyone can spare to help restore these injured men and women to the dig- nity of independence, which is pos- sible for them today as never be- fore." Kippen East W.I.

CALENDAR CONFUSION The arrival of a New Year calls to mind the discussion in the Book of Knowledge of the various cal- endars which have been in use throughout the world. 'Neither the Roman calendar nor its successor, the Julian calendar, coincided with a true year. As time went on con- fusion resulted. It was not re- moved until Pope Gregory intro- duced his calendar in 1582 and established the year at 365 days 5 hours 49 minutes 12 seconds. However, England did not adopt this calendar until 1752 and when it came into force eleven days had to be dropped to make it work. DISTRICT MacDONALD--WHETHAM DUBLIN—Sprays of white chrys- anthemums decorated Zion United Church (Hibbert), Monday, Dec. 26, at 3 o'clock, when Miss Ilene Elsie Whethain, Dublin, was mar- ried to James Allison MacDonald, Galt with Rev. A. H. Daynard officiating. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Whetham, Dublin, and the bride- groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James MacDonald, Galt. Mrs. Charles Roney played traditional wedding music and was the ac- companist for the soloist, the bride's cousin, Mis Susan Friend. who sang, "0 Perfect Love" dur- ing the signing of the register. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a floor -length gown of white French satin brocade. The bodice had a V-shaped neckline, of self cording. The long sleeves were lily pointed, and the princess skirt flared to a chapel train. A rose of the same brocade held her fingertip veil. She wore the bride- groom's gift, a string of pearls, and carried a cascade of red roses sur- rounding a white gardenia. Identical street -length red velvet frocks cut on princess lines were worn by her attendants, Miss Joan Britton, maid of honor, Miss Judith Friend, of Dublin, a cousin of the bride; Miss Shei- la MacDonald, of Galt, a sister of the bridegroom; and Miss Mar- garet Skov, Clinton. Their head- dresses were fashioned of white veiling and white velvet ribbon, and they carried muffs of white baby chrysanthemums. TWO GREAT MONARCHS Two notable royal anniversaries occur in January this year, Sixty years ago, after a reign of more than 60 years, Queen Victoria died on January 20. And 25 years ago —on January 22, 1936—her grand- son, King George V, died at Sand- ringham, his favorite home, after reigning since 1910. The Book of Knowledge points out that George V was famous for his kingly'quali- ties but was also famous in a quite different field too. He built up one of the world's finest stamp collections. A beautifully printed catalogue of it was produced a few years ago and has itself- be- come a collector's piece. WEDDINGS Russell Iiannusch, Blair, VW best man, and the ushers were the bride's brother, Kenneth Whet - ham, Dublin; Jaines Erickson and James McLay, Chicago. Receiving at. Wake's Country Room, Stratford, where the wed- ding edding dinner was served, the bride's mother wore a sheath dress of Nile -green silk bodice of Alen - con lace, with beige acces- sories and a corsage of bronze baby chrysanthemums. Assisting, the bridegroom's mother wore a sheath dress of beige figured bro- cade with blue accessories and a pink rose corsage. For a wedding trip to Montreal and the northern United..States, the bride donned a royal blue sheath dress, with white accessories and a white gardenia corsage. The couple will reside at 368 Webber St., Kitchener. Guests at the wedding were from Toronto, Hamilton, Ashburn, Galt, Kitchener, Almonte, Chicago, Wind- sor, Clinton, Dublin and vicinity.
