Hospital Group
Seeks Grant From
Township Council
A delegation from Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital, God
erich attended the regular meet-
inf of Goderich Township council
last week. The group discussed
the new addition to the hospital
and requested a grant of $4,300,
the amount that is the portion as-
signed to the township. No act-
ion was taken by Council at the
meeting and the request was filed
for one month.
Court of Revision on the assess-
ment roll was re-convened and it
was decided to reduce the assess-
ment on the house of William
Snazel in the amount of $50.
Tenders will be called for the
supplying of warble fly powder
and applications for the position
of warble fly inspector will be re-
ceived. Bruce Volland was hired

Plan Union Local
In Tuckersmith
For Farmers
According to Gordon Hill, presi-
dent of the Varna Local 131 of
the Ontario Farmers Union, about
100 farmers attended a meeting
in the Odd Fellows Hall in Bruce-
field, on Tuesday evening, Febru-
ary 14, which was attended by
Walter Miller, vice-president of
the Ontario Farmers Union. Fol-
lowing the meeting, a number
joined 'tine Union and it was deci-
ded to start a Local in Tucker-
smith Township.
Mr. Miller stressed "disparity
between agriculture and industry"
and pointed out that Canadians in
other businesses, such as doctors,
lawyers and grocers as well as the
different labour groups, are org-
anized but the farmer is not.
He pointed out that when the
Inter Provincial Farm Union
Council first met with the Agri-
cultural Committee in Ottawa,
they were told that for over 20
years, no organization had met
this committee to represent agri-
culture; as far as they knew, far-
mers were satisfied,
Mr. Miller pointed out the
Union's faith in producer-controll-
ed marketing boards and the steps
that could still be taken in this
direction. He stressed the trem-
endous advantages of a strong, or-
ganization all across Canada,
where all Canadian farmers would
participate and all Canadians
would benefit. In this regard he
stressed the "tremendous growth"
of the Union in the last while-
that "British Columbia has form-
ed a Union and today over half
the western farmers belong."

Record Attendance
At Hog Meeting
(Continued from page one)
Mr. Frey outlined the frame-
work of the Hog Producers set-up
He said the county organizations
were formed for the purpose of
appointing representatives on the
Ontario Hog Producers' 'Associa-
tion. The Hog Producers' Market-
ing Board is set up by the Assoc-
iation to administer the marketing
of hogs under the Act, and the
Hog Producers' Co-operative is
the third body, set up to actually
do the work of marketing.
Mr. Frey recalled that Ontario
farmers bred and raised 30 per-
cent. more hogs in 1955 than the
year before. He said that the
hogs- that came to market in Oct-
ober and since then, were bred in
January to April, when the price
had dropped. "But," he said, "the
producer apparently was not too
terribly alarmed at their market
prospects, becabse they raised
more hogs than the year before."
Mr. Frey said that though there
was a surplus on the market at
the present time, the trade was
handling it without calling on the
government for assistance.
"The only price level ever est-
ablished," said Mr. Frey, "is' 'one
on an open market, Both sides in
the bargaining must have equal
information and equal interest in
the hogs to' be bargained for. All
other prices are on a relative bas-
is. In any price structure you
have consumer pressure, then in
between are the processing costs,
and the producer is on the bottom.
This is the first time that you
produCers are in a position to ex-
ert pressure at the bottom."
The speaker said, "We (the Co-
operative ) are pioneering, but we
are making progress. It's easy to'
criticise, but the objectives in hog
marketing are clear. Let's stick
With it,"
