Mrs. Hovey introduced the Rev. E. J. B. Harrison as guest speaker. 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' traced the development of time through history to the present celeedeor. He tied this in with the modern observation of New Year's Mr. Harrison 'favoured this joyous occasion of expressing hope and good wishes to fellowmen and at the same time taking an in- ventory of the past year, in noting, our own "shortcomings, casting aside ta11 slander, disappointment, unkindnesses, etc. with the resolve for improvement in the new year.

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. These unemployed men in Wind- Joseph H. Carter (By our Aubtum correspondent) In failing health for some time Joseph H. Carter passed away in the Alexandra Marine and Gener- al Hospital, Goderich, on Sunday, January 5. He was in his 75th year. 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. The funeral was held Tuesday from the Donie's funeral home withe Rev.

Mr. and Mrs. John Gibbings, also Mr. and Mrs. Percey Gibbings visited at Bert Shobbrook's on Mondayes Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Balle 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. Quotation tram Commission on Price Spreads and , Marketing- 1937: "In direct shipment to plants, the producer is unprotected by any agent or by any regula- tion, except in the grading of hogs. In these circumstances it is not difficult to see who is in the strong and who is in the weak bargaining position." dl ft.
