Aside from the Constitutional'.
•Conference this week, the•big
news in Toronto centered; around'
the 'Standing Committee:on around.
'Attire . .
The occasion_vwas Bill 17 fan
amendment to the Milk Act,
This'bili. presented an opportun---
ity for the .Channel Island Breeders..
to th me,before the• Comrnittee•to.
express their feeling, about how
they have beet" treated under the.
°Mi1k.Acty and some .of the Changes '
they would like' tesee.
The•Jersey •and Guernsey breeders
are asking for, what amounts' to a
separate pool for their • milk in •
,view of the fact that previous to.
pooling they had built. up a. special.
demand for their milk sold under
Channel Island labels of Aj. for. all
Jersey and Golden Guernsey: .
George McLaughlin 7 Chairman
of the Ontario Milk Marketing,:
Board ;'said the;Board's. records (con'
since it took over'the sale of all
milk for bottling in Southern .Ontar-
•
io show that the total volume of.
milk sold by dairies under Channel
Island• labels exceeded the volume
of Channel. Island :rnilkdeliver_ed :to
such dairies.
At. the same tirrie,,dairy plant
employees have told' the board•,•that
when C.I. rr ilk was•used for manu-
facturing, ,w liich should have reduc-
ed the price paid for it, the reduct-
ben. was charged to standard product,
e r s - .
Mr: McLaughlin_Also said; the
board has found cases where Chann-
e1 Island .shippers received "specia'l
consideration from dairies even
,Whenitt$ 111HVt....
standard milk„
The Agricultural. Committee-„.. on.
'Mr McLaughlin's urging is to
subpoena the records of the board
the Ontario Milk, Comrnission ,
Milk Transporters and processors.,
In
the -meantime, Spokesmen ter
Ontario Producers of Jersey and '
Guernsey milk are crying„„"dirty
pool''
.'Robert Wade' of,Ancaster",' presi-
dent of the Channel Island Breeders ::.
.Milk Producers. Association;, says
the 'board has needlessly dragged' ..
old accusations into the controversy
.over milk pooling , and if dirtylin •
en is, to be washed in public , the
Channel. Island producers have,
some on the other breeds that they.
can brings out when it ;suits them.
This latest outburst appears to be `.
part of the running battle between
Channel Island producers and the
Milk Marketing Board.
No•inatter what: tte outcome •of
the 'investigations , it is' doubtful if
the position of the two groups will
have changed. :•
The Minister, of Agriculture this
week announced that the Govern
rnent of:Ontario is withdrawing,.
:from the Mortgage field and. that,,
effective :February 13th, no further •
lo•'ans will Abe made. to Ontario
farmers,under the authority of the
Ontario. Jr Farmers Loan Act. Any
applications received by the Board,

up to4February.l3th will be, Process -
It is certainly regretted 'that`Ont
ario has seen fit to take this action:
because. the Jr. Farrners

useful ser/ice to young farmers in:
