Lights have just gone on at the Johnson House. It may only
mean that young Bill is restless. Or it may mean
something more serious perhaps a hurried call for the
doctor. At such moments the instant help of the telephone
can be beyond price. Nights, Sundays and holidays,

make life more pleasant, more secure for all of us...
GREGORY CLARK
Pow moo know Ontario bet&
than "Greg" Clark, noted
and outdoors authority.
"The greatest thing about Ontario is its immense diversity,
Its southern extremity is on the same parallel of latitude as
northern California.
Yet at Cape Henrietta Maria, Ontario touches the Arctic zone,
In the south, an opulent agricultural and industrial domain in
full stride with the best on the continent.
And in the north, forests, rivers, nameless lakes into which the
pioneers have not yet penetrated.
Where else now can you go for such contrast? Name two!"

"SCHOOL'S OUT"
The years pass so quickly; first thing you
know your child's school days are over.
Will your boy or girl go on to profes.
sional, technical or 'other advanced
studies? A lot depends on the family
exchequer; your child will probably need
some financial help. So it's not too early
to start building up a special fund that
will assure a future education. Regular
deposits in a Royal Bank savings account;

hoards, the Ontario. Farmers' Un-
ion has presented .a brief "to. the

ion and the Ontario Hog Produc.-
ere Marketing Board.
In their brief they congratulate
the marketing board for adopting

inate the contract with United
Livestock Sales Limited and to as-
sume full control of the, direct sale.
Of hogs' through the Ontario Hog
Producers,' Co-operative,
In a report 'of the brief given
in -the OFU's official publication
fon April, the Hog Producers' As.
sociation is criticised for its' Sum-
mary treatment of the OW, and
.also the fact that the 11 man .
board. at the top of the Association
is making all decisions without
consulting the producer, nor of
telling him just what happens.
They specifically aSic for •all avail-
able information to be sent to their
45 locals.
The OFU states their disapprov-
al of the pro-rating charge of 20
cents per sheet, and suggest this
as •unfair to the farmer shipping
only one hog. They suggest that
the pro-rating charge be made ac-
cording to the number of hogs',
rather than per sheet.
The Union stated in the brief
that they felt the 'increased price
differential did not accomplish, any-.'
thing in the way of increasing
quality, but instead it merely
meant more money for the pack-
ers. They advised return to the
original 40 cent differential; but
suggested that to encourage pro-
duetion and exportation of more

The brik urged closer attention
to the gain by the packer from

for fairer representation, asked
that half of the representatives to

Board be made from Farm Union
members.
Sepaiate from the brief, but ap-
pearing in the same publication, is
an article written by F. Von Pills,
Canadian Registry (who is assist-
ant editor of the Farmer's Advo-
cate and Canadian Countryman)
which retnarks upon the power of
group organizations to bring pros-
perity or suffering to the masses,
and the importance of the Mem,-
hers insisting upon full adherence
to the laws of the organizations. by
their leaders. We 'quote''
"The general by-laws of the On-
tario Hog Producers' Co-operat-
ive provide that "the membership
of the Co-operative shall be divid-
ed into. county 'groups of hog pro-
ducers who shall each within the
period from and including January
7, up to and including March 1 in
each year hold a meeting for the
election of delegates and altern-
ate delegates." In at least one
county this rule has been arbitrar-
ily set aside and the delegates are
"either appointed or elected at the
Township Federation (of Agricul-
ture) annual meeting," as the Sec-
retary-fieldman of the County Fed-
eration openly admitted in a letter
to the editor of his local newspap-
er. The delegates thus chosen in
contravention• of the constitution
of the Co-operative went to the an-
nual provincial convention in Tor-
onto to represent their county, and
cast votes to which they were not
entitled.
"Such complete disregard of pre-
scribed procedure, depriving mem-
bers of their constitution rights,
erodes the moral basis of the or-
ganization, weakens its claim to
be the rightful spokesman for the
member& and jeopardizes the legal
validity of its actions."
Recent Amendinen
To Traffic Act
Warrant Notice
The Legislature of Ontario, dur.
ing its recent session, introduced
and passed a variety of, amend-
ments to the Highway Traffic Act.
Speed limits on urban or rural
highways, while not altered at the
time, may now be increased pr de-
creased by regulations of the
Lieutenant Governor in Council, It
is understood that changes in per-
missible speeds will be introduced
only after requirements have been

intended
for the transport of either goods
or people; such as tar-pots, cement
mixers, air compressors, etc., is ex-
eluded from the regulations.
The three front identification
lamps on vehicles over 30 feet long
or 80 inches wide may now be
either green or amber, except in
the case of public vehicles which
must continue to display amber
lights. ,
The required functioning of hand
or "emergency" brakes is limited
to holding the vehicle on any
grade.
Endorsement of drivers' licences
following .convictions for offences
under the Criminal Code of Can-
ada, is now mandatory.
Weight regulations have under-
gone adAtment. Tandem axle
semi-trailer units previously limit-
ed to loads of 28,000 pounds may
now carry 30,000 pounds. Per-
missible gross weights of vehicles
passing over bridges under the
control of municipal authorities,
are now the subject. of regulation
by such authorities.
Concerning the operation of un-
usually large vehicles used to
transport heavy machinery, trans-
formers, etc., that must operate
under special: permit and are re-
stricted as to size, weight, route
and hours of travel, penalties are
now provided for illegal variations
of the permit terms:
Because of unintended inequities
arising from the suspension of both
driver's licence and vehicle permit
after conviction for impaired or
drunk driving, suspension now is
limited to the licence of the con-
victed driver.
More Built-up areas bordering
the King's Highway are being po-
liced by municipal officers, where
formerly they were solely the re-
sponsibility of the cintario Provin-
cial Police. As a result, payment
of fines for offences on the King's
Highways, once directed only to
the Department of Highways, are
now the subject of agreement be-
tWeen the Minister of Highways
and municipal authorities where
the prosecution was initiated by
village or township police.
Imprisonment of up to 30 days
and fines from $25 to $100'for the
first offence, and imprisonment for
as much as six months and fines
from $100 to $500 for the second
offence, are now the penalties for
operating vehicles' whose permits
have been suspended or cancelled.
For some years, when an On-
tario resident failed to satisfy a
judgment arising out of a motor
vehicle accident in any other prov-
ince and in some states, licence
suspension imposed by the court of
that province or state was also ef-
fective in Ontario. The Act has
been amended so that only in the
circumstance that the other pray-
ince or state has similar and re-
ciprocal arrangements will suspen-
sion imposed elsewhere apply in
Ontario.

fawner who subscribes to riewspaP-
era from Australia, New Zealand,

spoke at the regular meeting of
the Holmeaville Local, Ontario
Farmers Tinton On Monday night,
A most encouraging number of
48 persons, 11 of whom were lad-
ies,. were in, attendance, The presi-..
dent, Edgar .Rathwell was in the
chair with Ray Wise as secretary
recording,
The president, who was report-
ing fora special committee drawn
up for inquiries, said that all mem-
bers desiring to have their Federa-
tion of Agriculture fees removed
frent their Icel. taxes may write
individually or as a group to the
Goderich Township clerk before

letter was sent around at the meet-
ing and all those who wished to
sign did. so. The letter will be
held over until .anether meeting to
gain any signatures of members
who may not have been out at
Monday night's meeting.
The lengthy delay of gasoline
tax rebates was discussed ending
with a composition of a resolution
to be sent into heddquarters. The
resolution stated a great desire
for refunds to be returned to the
farmers within 30 days.
'Mr. Lawson, who was introduced
by the president, spoke briefly of
the over-all picture of farming in.
New Zealand, Australia and South
Africa, but dealt mainly with the
set-up and operation of the . Na-
tional Farmers Union of England
and Wales.
He explained in detail the func-
tioning of the Milk Marketing
Board, whereby all milk is pooled
and farmers receive level prices
regardless of whether their milk
is sold to the city trade or for-
manufacturing purposes.
The board has• been in operation
since 1934 and. is an outstanding
success,
Mr. 'Lawson went on to say
that Canadian farmers sit back,
letting politics be first and farm-
ing seconcle" "The farmer," he
said, "will get no. place until he
learns to put farming first and
polities. second."

HYDRO
The Town Of Clinton .
joined the great Hydro family of municipalities in the year
1913. Therefore, the Clinton Public Utilities Commission is
happy to share in celebrating the Golden' Jubilee of Hydro,
an anniversary that marks 50 years of progress in Ontario.
The Public Utilities Commission •of Clinton is established to
provide and distribute electricity at the lowest possible cost,
consistent with reliable service and sound economics. Ex-
panding our system to .meet the demand for power, that has
occurred in the Town of Clinton during the years since be-
coming one of the Hydro family-has been a major challenge,
especially since the year 1943.
In 1913 the Town of Clinton contracted with Hydro Electric
Power Commission and in 1914 the peak load of power, used
• by Clinton was 82 kilowatts. By 1923 the load had increased
to 160 kilowatts. In. 1933 the load ha,d reached the peak of
390 kilowatts and by 1943 it was 514 kilowatts. Six years
later, in 1949, the load had reached a peak of 850 kilowatts.
In December 1955, .peak demand reached an all-time t high of
1774 kilowatts, and still the end is not in sight. With the
many types of electrical appliances coming into increased use
in the homes and. shops, it will continue to be a major
problem.
Your Commission will continue to plan and expand to meet
the challange of the coming years to assure the electrical
future of all its customers.
