Members of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture were
told Thursday night that the
priorities of Canadian society
are wrong.
The meeting of. 70 farmers
from throughout the county heard
Harvey Davis of Dobbinton, reeve
of Eldersley Township, quoted-
from an article in the Toronto
Daily Star which showed that,
the in apPle juice is sold in
costs two cents more than the
apple juice itself. Mr. Davis,
who is a former warden of Bruce
County, member of the Ontario
Congratulations are in order
to Miss" Margaret McKay, for-
merly of Tuckersmith and to
your correspondent who cele-
brated birthdays -this week.
Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Hillis
and family, Jennifer, Peter and
Michael of Ingersoll and Miss
'Marilyn Hillis. of Tillsonburg
visited Miss M. Turnbull on Sim-
day.
Press Council and president of
the Bruce County Beef Improve-
ment Association told the group
that out of every $10 spent on
'food, less than $4 went to. the
farmer, the primary producer.
He said farming was the only
business he knew of that bought
at retail prices and sold at whole-
sale. ,
Mr. Davis said that cries
about high food costs were un-
justified to a certain extent be-
cause if prices for farm produce
had risen at the same rate of
other products such as cars, the
prices would be far higher.
He pointed out that the cost
of food has not risen at the
same rate because of the tremen-
dous increase in the productivity
of the farmer. In the last 15
years, he said, the efficiency of
the farmer had increased 100 per.
cent while the efficiency of indus-
try in general had risen only 60
per cent. He gave an illustration
'from the beef industry where he
said 20 years ago a farmer could
raise 40 head of cattle on 100
acres of land. Now by using
the land to grow corn to feed
his cattle the farmer could raise
the same number of animals pro-
ducing the same amount of meat
on only seven acres.
He said the government's
attempts to maintain a cheap food
policy can be easily seen through
the number of expert consultants
the government pays to help
farmers improve their effic-
iency.
Mr. Davis said most farmers
would like to be able to earn
enough to pay good wages for farm
labour. lie quoted statistics
which showed the average wage
for farm labour is $1.64 per hour
compared to $4.70 for construc-
tion atid43.28 for industry.
He also said he was disillus-
ioned with regional governmerit.
He said it would cost more and
take away the basic democratic
need of communication between
the people and the legislators.
Under the present system, he
said, a person can pick up the
telephone and call his councillor
any time he wants. Under reg-
ional government, however, the
alderman (or whatever he is
called) would be harder to reach.

"It is being shoved down our
throats because of the apathy
you and I have displayed" he
said. He called for people ..to

This week an interesting ar-
ticle in the February United
Church Observer was pointed
out to me entitled "She made
all the difference". The story
is about Dr. Margaret Strang
Savage who became a mission-
ary-doctor in Northern Alberta.
This story is of special interest
to up for she was a sister of
Mr. W, .Strang, a resident here.
