"While the survey is well ad- vanced, there have not been en- ough returns received from the canvassers to determine what pre- ferences exist," Mrs. Hildebrand told The Expositor Wednesday. "It will be some days before the re- turns can be analyzed, but from the results that have come in, it is apparent there has been a de- cided change in shopping habits as we have regarded them," When the survey was ordered following a meeting of merchants two weeks ago, it was intended to hold 'a further meetting on Thurs- day -of this week to consider the information which, it had been expected, would be available. Mrs. Hildebrand said in view of the time which the survey was taking it had been necessary to postpone this meeting for at least a week. Announcement concerning it will be made next week, she said. Decision to 'seek the aid of shop- pers was taken by merchants as consideration was being given to night store hours, and whether stores should be open Saturday or Friday nights. The survey is expected to pro- vide information on which a deci- sion representative of the require- ments of„the trading area' can be made.

McInnis told the annual Farmers' Night gathering of the Seaforth Lions Club here Monday evening. Until recently the head of the Ontario Hog Producers and lead- ing figure in hog marketing pro- grams, Mr. McInnis is now work- ing for the establishment of Farm- ers' Allied Meat Enterprises, a co-operative sponsored by the as- sociation and embraces all On- tario livestock producers. The principles underlying FAME are not selfish, but rather are de- signed to bring people together so that they may better serve, he said. A better farming community means a better way of life. Congratulating the club in giv- ing emphasis to the important in- dustry of agriculture, the speaker said that too often the wrong im- pression was created in discussing farming problems. Too often food is taken for grant- ed. Because of recurring farm surpluses, there were too many who regarded' agriculture as being something that was here to serve them without regard to those who made the industry pos- sible. Laid Foundation "Farmers laid the very founda- tion of this nation," Mr. McInnis said. "They pioneered and in suc- ceeding years when the tide was against us they came to the reseue of the country. During the depres- sion of the 30's and during two World Wars, the farmers of Can- ada saved our economy." The speaker reminded his audi- ence this had been possible only because of long hours without re- gard to themselves-, or the inter- est of themselves as farmers. "Now because there are sur- pluses, the farmer is being pen- alized. His income drops. He is accused of over -production." The difficulties facing the farm- ing community arise because .the farmer through the years has re- garded it as his duty to prooduce, and produce only. Unlike indus- try, no thought has been given to disposal of surpluses or reserves as the speaker chose to call over- production. Depend on Subsidies The result has been a depend- ence ort government subsidies and government legislation. "We are to blame because we, as farmers, failed to do the job of marketing as we should and in- stead we have depended on the state," be said, adding that in his opinion government legislation and interference in the long term was not in the best interest of agri. culture. The producers must 'solve the problem of selling, not the government. • Mr. McInnis said there was a solution if farmer's, as producers, would come together. He referred to the successful marketing of dairy products by UDPC. Here by -so-operation, the producer is pro- viding a better product for the consumer. He is finding .the an- swer himself, he said. Referring to the organization of FAME, the speaker said the eco- nomists had advised them that to be successful the project must be "big enough to be the dominating and controlling force in the indus- try." By this was meant that FAME must be prepared to estab- lish a chain and to handle all pro- ducts. Farmers cannot afford not to participate, Mr. McInnis said, • as he explained why he urged sup- port for the co-operative meat pro - (Continued on Page 6) THERE WAS NO LACK of action at the Legion Minor Hockey Night at the Arena Saturday, as this scramble in front of the goal indicates.
