A little town eight miles away kept the staple groc- eries, hardware, twine, a few bolts of yard goods, thread and buttons, etc., but never any readyrnade dresses for women and children. The incredibly slim and elegant ladies in The Catalogue were creatures from another world. The horses pictured at the back of the book to advertise harness were equally glamorous in my eyes. Such dashing steeds they Alcohol Speaks. In the itheatre, on the radio, on the Signboard, in papers and Magazines, r Say what T anf paid to Say!

Once when my father talked of buying another horse I confidently eXPLeeted that he would order it from The Catalogue, and eagerly asked if I could pick it out for him, His kindly laughter and ex- plantation that the pictured beaut- ies were there only to display the harness offered for sale was a real shock to me. It was a disappointment to rank with the first intimation that Santa Claus was the spirit of Chris- tmas and not an actual person. I could never again think of either in quite the same• rapturous light. But why I should have been so certain that we could buy a horse from The Catalogue I can't imag- ine. I knew, quite well that the slinky ladies at the front of the book were not for sale. But pos- sibly I'never wished to buy a lady. Ontario mail-order catalogues do not advertise either horses or harness—and probably the current Western ones don't either—but they are a welcome reminder of Spring just the same. They give us ideas. Speaking of mail and mailboxes, we take our excellent postal ser- vice and the prompt arrival and departure of the mail so much for granted that when some part of it is lost or delayed, it is a matter for comment. We recently received, in the third week of January, a copy of a small Saskatchewan weekly to which we subscribe—a copy dated October 25, 1955, It arrived in the mailbthe as blandly as though it had not been playing truant and with nothing to sheer where it had been, in the intervening weeks, Has it been wandering through Her Majesty's mails, like a free star through space, ever since October? Or reposing depectedly in a corner in Wolseley, Winnipeg or Toronto, forgotten by all, and finally rooted out and sent on its Way? A very minor mystery, but in- teresting.

The Editor, Clinton News-Record, Clinton, Ontario, Dear Sir; An article appeared in the Lon- don Free Press on January 13, ov- er Ontario's hog co-op secrets on hogs, by. Mr, C. J. Boynton, The real secret about this hog co-op is that it is run by compulsion, The secret financial statements have never been published and non members have to support it, The reason I know it's all compulsory e because I applied for exempt- on to the marketing of hogs (as provided far in the regulations, but era stunted down. You suggest that I should at- tend hog meetings. I have been to some already and any time I asked questions, they were not answered. It is tiresome to listen to the same recitation over and over again, on a hocus-pocus meth- od of selling hogs. You claim that this set-up has made you money. Regardless where you sell your hogs, the fact remains when you ship a hog from one city to another, it costs some- body money to do that job. I have been examining hog set- tlements, and from 1939 until two 'ears ago, the spread between A grade and B1 hogs was 40 cents per cwt., and now it is $1.00 per cwt. How this kind of settle- ment came about is not clear. It would seem that the packers would not have done. it on their own accord without some agree- ment with the hog board. It was such a regular thing for so many years I doubt if the packers could have attempted it by themselves. I have heard the idea was to im- prove the grade if it were done this way. However the grade of hogs has not improved, so it means that on the bacons you get about a dollar a pig less than we did in days of yore. If your hogs should grade class A, you're alright, but most hogs don't grade A. This to me has lost hog producers millions.
