Huron Favours Beef Deductions Suggested By Provincial Beef Board (Continued from page One) marketer of cattle in the province, sending 55,329 cattle to market last year, Waterloo stands sec- ond with 55,235 marked. In the zone comprising Huron, Perth and Middlesex, there were 139,000 cat- tle and 19,788 calves marketed last year. In Ontario under the plan as proposed, it would be possible to raise over $80,000 for the OBP. There were 720,000 cattle and 280,000 caves marketed last year. The meeting had an informal atmosphere, due to the small size of the attendance. Questions in- cluded: We were a' net importing country for beef last year. With- out enough beef td supply our do- mestic market, why should we ad- vertise the product raised in some other country? Bateman answer- ed that although last year Canada was a net importing country, un- doubtedly production of beef would increase, to meet and more than meet the increase in popula- tion. $elides, he said the money raised would be used for other things, as well as for advertising. Another question: How can we get our price up when the US is ready to flood our market with cheap beef whenever they feel like it? Bateman could see no way of raising prices here when there is cheap beef in the USA. Question: Isn't it up to the pac- kers to advertise? Answer: the packers advertise their brand names, but cannot ,advertise raw meats and hope to reap the bene- fits themseves—their : competi- tors, who perhaps • do not adver- tise, would profit by their expense. Question: Could the OBP not da something towards getting better co-operation between the railroads and •the.producers?i We're -getting no co-operation from • the ONR, and the stockyards are being lock- ed against us. They say they are kicking them against the truckers, but isn't it against the farmers? Bateman: the railways don't seem, to co-operate, as they should. We've been working with . them, and hhve gottensome promises, and some of our suggestions to im,- prove shipping have been accepted. Two members of the audience stated"that they felt it was up to the producers to advertise their own product. One quoted the experience of the dairy farmers, and their increased consumption of milk and milk prodacts as the result of their promotibn project with June Set -Aside money. The First Column '(Continued from Page One) , from their customer's. . The most deeply resented part of it all is, that for this job of col- lecting sales tax, for the govern - Malt, (which in turn doles it out in social security payments, sueh as baby bonus and pensions). for this job of work, printers are ,CHARGED, the ridiculous sum of $2 for a licenses .. Never even in the days bf Nebuchadnezzar, was a tax collector charged money to do a job for the government. r . More than that, however, is the fact that, the government has: ixot taken any responsibility for "'bad debts"' which every business has.. . that is, the ten percent sales tax is collected from the 'printer for the work he does, not from the work he collects for, . . And so the situation sernetitnes results that he is out his tinier in doing the work, pies his rightful profit, plus tenpercent on the total of these and the cost of the paper it is done on.. , Now, If John could see his Way clear to paying his many printer-tax-co]leetors the $2 for the work they are doing (wield) would only be a token and not come near to paying for it)... acid if hewould ou have collect the d us sales tax 011 the work paid kr, n. art oil when. it wasd far, , thea! he would endear imself and his many PC members in the new House, to hundreds and .hundreds of prirtters,their 'Friends, iarnilies, acid relatives, in uncounted _!ilii Legion Auxiliary At Hensall Help Decorate Arena (ley our iffehsali correspondent) The Hensall Legion Ladies Aux- iliary 'Met June 4, with the pres- ident, Mrs. E.
