B. Higgins; telephone convener,

Mrs. Hovey expressed thanks
and appreciation to Mrs. Gairdner
for being hostess for' this occasion,
and also. her interest in the club's
activities; and to the executive

splendid support during the year.
Mrs. Hovey introduced the Rev. E.

His subject was "The New Year",
commencing with Genesis 1: 1 "Li
the beginning God created Heaven
and Earth," the speaker held his
audience in rapt attention as he'

through history to the present
celeedeor. He tied this in with the

Mr. Harrison 'favoured this

Mrs. Maynard Carrie offered her
home for the February meeting.
Mrs. J. E. Hovey and Mrs. May-
nard Corrie served the refresh-
ments,
I was watching television the
other night and saw a reporter
interview some of the people who
have been out of work for several
months from the car factories at
Windsor. I felt sorry to see these
people left destitute when their
income was suddenly cut off. I
was going to add "through no fault
of their own" 'but I wonder. Are
these people completely free from
responsibility? Could it be that
through unions their wages have
become so 'high that they have
priced their product out of the
market?
Relating this to farming we
could de the same with our pro-
duce by insisting on a price that
is too high and enforcing it by
curtailed production. The only
product that could be handled in
this way, at the moment, is the
broiler. This product is produced,
I am told, to over 90 percent by
contract. If broilers fail to sell
the contract is cancelled and in
effect the producer is laid off just
as the factory worker is laid off.
Farmers certainly do' not thrive
on low comparative prices. We
are told that for the past two
years, farmers are really surviv-
ing on the depreciation of their
property and the interest on their
investment. This is bad and can-
not continue but it is fortunate
that farmers can still sell their
product and thereby "hang on"
until there is improvement.

Ie was the son of the late Jere-
es Carter and Mary Hetheeingloe
and was born at Kingsbridge on
October 2, 1873. At an early age
he came with his parents to Aub-
urn and he attended USS 5, Hul-
Iett Township.
Following his marriage fo Jet-
rid Jones he resided in Port Elgin,
until her death. Since then he
has made his hoMe with -his sis-
ter, Miss Sadie Carter, Auburn.
He was a member of the Uni-
ted Church.
Surviving are one son, Regin-
ald. Port Elgin; two sisters, Miss
Sadie Carter, Auburn; Mrs. (Eliz-
abeth) Nelson Hill, Goderich, and
three grandchildren.

sor would be much better off if
they were to continue working for
a reduced wage, and the • Company
would be better off if it would
operate on its depreciation and
interest on its investment for the
time being until it could market
the product at a saleable price.
Producer marketing won't bring
big prices and huge profits to
the farmer but it will bring the
highest price at which the com-
modity will sell in sufficient
quantity to be satisfactory.
The wheat farmers are having
an opportunity to introduce a pro-
ducer-controlled marketing plane
through a negotiating board. It
is your duty to express your opin-
ion on this question, at the polls
on January 17. Don't expect to
"get rich quick" as a result of
this but you can be assured' that
you will receive the highest price
at which wheat can be sold.

In these circumstances it is not
