Ca HURON FEDERATION NEWS By CARL HEMINGWAY The annual meeting of the Ontario Wheat Producers was held in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Sept. 27. The meeting was well attended and the ac- tions of the Board received hearty approval. This does not mean that improvements can- not be made but real progress is being made. After a year's effort with some million bushels of space at the Port Colborne elevator, the storage situation is better, but still far from adequate. The Board was urged to continue its efforts to either find some way by which farmers could build their own storage or have a definite lease on storage fa- cilities. The problem of low quality wheat due to sprouting or rust is serious this year. Some farm- ers received as little as 70 cents a bushel for this feed quality, over which the Board has no control, except that a good -price for milling wheat does have a strengthening affect of the feed grades. The meeting recommended that the Board be given the right to negotiate prices on the lower grades as well. It is unfortunate that so many farm ers place themselves in the posi- tion that they have to sell. Un- doubtedly, this 70c wheat will return in the feed trade at a handsome profit to the dealers. Everett Biggs, in speaking to the meeting, pointed out that producer marketing provides the "yardstick" in determining price levels. Previously through energy, aggressiveness and salesmanship you may have ob- tained a higher price than your neighbor, but that in no way proves that you got a fair price. When producers are in the mar- keting business they are able to assess the market and know what their products should bring. In view of the much larger than usual quantity of feed grade wheat there was discus- sion on the question of the im- portation of U.S. feed ` grains. It is reported that five million McKILLOP BUSY BEAVERS The first meeting of the Mc- Killop Busy Beavers 4-H Home- making Club, featuring fruit, was held on Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Gord''¢4h Papple.

This importation of feed grain was permitted supposed-. ly to prevent brokers from cor- nering the market. However, its results seem to be limited since grain on the Winnipeg ex- change is still higher than it was at the time of the first quo- tas. It undoubtedly did help the large feed lot producers and the vertically integrated in- dustries but with Ontario oats currently netting the producer about $40.00 per ton, it didn't do much for the farmer. Freight assistance also came under discussion as detrimental to the Ontario wheat producer, and I was very interested to hear since the meeting that some of our largh beef opera- tors are beginning to realize that cheap grain means cheap beef. Farmers who produce their own grain and feed it must surely soon realize that their costs are the same, regardless of the price on the grain mar- ket. It is the livestock produc- ed on cheap grain, brought in- to Ontario, that reduces their price and income. • Every week fire strikes at more -than one thgw nd EGMONDVILLE Mrs. John McLachlan, who was a patient in Scott Memor- ial Hospital, returned home on Monday.

This group will be in charge of dec- orating the church for the month of October. The survey cards for the United Church Woman's Group were distributed to .each mem- ber and filled out during the meeting. 10 dian homes, In terms of dollar¢ that Means a yearly loss of below $ii,Q ,Q,- 000, although the typical• -Neuse fire averages under $500 in damage. But the ghastly truth is that three-quarters of all our fire deaths occur in those homes. And not only deaths, for hun- dreds of Canadians are horribly burned and often permanently scarred in these fires. Fires rarely just "happen," states John F. Scott. Nine out of every ten fires are the re- sult of sheer carelessness and thoughtless neglect of simple precautions. Regardless of the cause, Mr. Scott said, many of the human tragedies are needless• Not igIQWing whit to do, victims aro etton trapped by their own igaorance• They might have gotten out IF they had known how. They didn't know how. So they died. Or they survived, scarred and maimed. Every , Canadian in every home can profit by learning the simple lessons of fire preven- tion and fire safety. Such is the basis of the fire services' appeal for the cold weather -hot fire months ahead. It is an appeal for every man, woman and child. And it is a special appeal for the cake of the children, who make up nearly half the victims. For Safety's Sake . e e DON'T DRY-CLEAN AT HOME ! You can't trust home cleaning! Fluids are dangerous!

Does each of us know as much as we should about protecting our homes and families from fire? Do we cooperate with our Fire Depart- ment in its fire prevention programs?
