I had almost forgotten how
children feel while they are wait-
ing for Christmas to happen. That
is until I realized that Queen Eli-
zabeth and Prince Philip had set
foot on Canadian soil arid I would
soon be giving the royal tour a
once-over. In my hot little hand
I clutched my accreditation card
with a reasonable facsimile of my
mug stamped with the seal of ap-
proval. I knew it would be there
but wondered if it would look like
a picture of one of the ten most
wanted persons. The smile is a
likness, so I guess I'll be able to
get through all those security
guards when the tour reaches Ot-
tawa and I join other press peo-
ple and photographers covering
this National event.
The quiver of excitement I ex-
perienced when I opened the en-
velope and found this bit of iden-
tification enclosed, reminded me
of the swoony feeling of years
ago, when I was told I had been
chosen as one of three young
girls to be present when H.R.H.
the Prince of Wales visited Emer-
ald Lake in the heart of the Can-
adian Rockies, I was a teenager
but mature for my years, due no
doubt to four years of war when
I had been beaued to parties, far
too adult for my tender years,
by army friends of an older broth-
er. Unlike the present tour, I did
not have to procure proof of age
and I am sure our chaperone
hadn't an inkling of how young I
was.
I hope I have better luck this
time, when once again I come
close to royalty, than I had on
that far-away day. As I entrain-
ed for the trip from Calgary, Al-
berta, to Field B.C., I was trying
to stifle the evidence that I was
coming down with a "gold id by
head". Before we reached our
destination my eyes were running
like a mountain brook and my nose
beamed like a tail light. Our
chaperone told me I wouldn't be
allowed to meet the prince unless
I shook my cold. Deadline was
only 24 hours away.
Somehow she conceived a tortur-
ous cure. It was sniffing straight
rye whiskey! I had never tasted
any spiritous liquor and between
what I considered a horrible taste
and the agony of dragging half a
cup of booze up my nostrils, my
desire to show off my courtesy
before a future monarch was just
about dampened forever. The cure,
drastic as it was, worked and I
was in fine fettle to see the idol
at that time of ail single females
in Britain and her possessiehs,
walk up to the chalet through the
sun-drenched woods that surround-
ed the lake,
If I saw him corning up my
Deficiency payments and verti-
cal integration came in for a great
deal of discussion at a recent
meeting, of Stanley Township Far-
mersUnion, Cordon Hill, OFU
president, said it was most unfor-
tunate that leaders of some farm
organizations, 'through a lack of
understanding of how deficiency
payments could be implemented, or
for their own personal prestige,
have seen fit to denounce them.
"This is hard to understand,
when the future of the family-type
farm never looked so bleak. Farm-
ers are taking out larger loans,
paying more interest, farm costs
have spiralled, we are working
longer hours and accepting lower
prices. Why would any repres-
entative of farmers fight against
the first concrete attempt to get
to the root of the agricultural
problem?
"At a recent meeting in Toron-
to, Hog Producer representatives
met and were told to go back
home and speak out against de-
ficiency payments. This so called
'producer-controlled' organization
did not see fit to get their direct-
ion from the producers, but were
instructed from this meeting to
discredit deficiency payment," said
Mr. Hill.
"Many farmers do not realize
the threat of vertical integration
driveway right at this moment as
he looked then, I would probably
double up 'in a fit of laughter. I
would undoubtedly consider it a
masquerade getup. But in those
early post war days, his attire
was considered very smart. He
had insisted on walking from the
train stop at Field to Emerald
Lake and had accordingly donned
his walking outfit. This consisted
of plus fours that hung almost
to his ankles like a pair of potato
sacks over heavy knee-high woolen
stockings. They used to call the
type of coat he wore a Norfolk
jacket. It was- very tweedy and
belted in the back. The prince
was a small person, not much
taller than we three girls who had
been chosen to meet him. That is
possibly why the cap he wore
looked like a dinner plate and
came well down around his ears.
Never mind how it looked, I just
wanted to die, die, die, for my
heart almost pounded out of my
body when he handed me a mom-
ento of the then happiest-day of
my life. It was a long red box
handsomely embossed with the
Royal Coat of Arms in rich gold
leaf. Inside were 200 cigarettes
also monogrammed in gold with
his personal crest, a fancy, fili-
greed E.P. I kept them for years
tied up with a pink satin ribbon
and the silk cord from my auto-
graphed dance program.
When the tobacco had all fallen
out of the cigarettes and there
was a king in my own household
plus two young heirs, I reluct-
antly threw the box and its con-
tents away. Now I wonder what
what souvenir I shall keep for
years as a reminder of this 1959
visit to Canada of his niece, Queen
Elizabeth and the king in her life
(if only her consort to her sub-
jects), Prince Philip.

Clinton on Monday, June 29, Bob

the club, Bob Grigg adjourned
the meeting.
to the economy of our country.
Dr, Hopper stated recently in Hur-
on ount that 10 percent of the
hog farmers could produce the
pork needed for the Canadian
market. If this takes place the
other 90 percent will be compet-
ing for jobs in industry where
unemployment continues to be a
serious problem, Farmers through
their Purchases of gasoline, ma-
chinery, wire, etc. have made
great contribution to the economy
of Canada, If they are not able
to continue this buying, there will
be a further decline in this 're-
spect. Labour is anxious to see a
prosperous agriculture so that
there will be a buying power for
the products they want to manu-
facture," stated Mr. Hill.
"It has been stated in the Fin-
ancial Post that big companies
contribute to political parties fin-
ancially," Mr, Hill went on. "In
this way the government becomes
indebted to them and this may be
why the government does not
press for an investigation of vert-
ical integration. We must be aware
of the dangers' of a few big cor-
porations getting control of our
product. When this happens, as
it has in the auto industry, the
prices are set assuring the comp-
any of an excessive profit, and
we pay more for the product. Bell
Telephone has a monopoly and
rates have increased. This same
situation is taking place in agri-
culture. Big operators are gradu-
ally getting control, forcing small
business out, eliminating competi-
tion.
"Many farmers are now at the
mercy of a feed company. Farm-
ers have become indebted to them,
their prices have been cut, and
they find themselves with a set
of new or remodelled buildings
which have not been paid for. In
this venture the company has not
shared the risk.
"The government has provided a
favourable climate whereby the
teed company has a sale for vast
quantities of feed and through
the system of price support they
are provided with a guaranteed
market. This is a real incentive
for feed companies to go into this
type of production."
Mr. Hill said that he was grati-
fied at a recent hearing of the
Marketing Inquiry Committee, to
hear Leonard Harman (an econo-
mist for U.C.O.) say that the de-
ficiency payment announcements
have already curbed the trend to
vertical integration. "This is why
farmers must get together and
press for deficiency payments. No
doubt there is still much research
to be done here, but farmers must
'not sit idly by and do nothing,"
he said.
"Consumers have been told that
they will be taxed to pay for de-
ficiency payments. In reality, they
will be paying for their food, a
price which bears a fair relation-
ship to the other goods and serv-
ices they buy. Why should they
pay high prices for cars, etc., and
then hope to buy cheap food at
the farmers' evpense? Last year
farmers costs increased, his net
income was down and yet food
costs rose 4V2e/s. The farmers' re-
turns from the sale of a loaf of
bread amounts to less than three
cents, so if he gave his wheat
away shoppers would still pay a
high price for bread."
Mr. Hill told of the increased
need for farm organizations to
work more closely together for the
benefit of the farmer. In recent
years the Federation of Agricul-
ture has become more aware of
the economic needs of farmers and
have adopted considerable Farm
Union policy and he hopes they
will now see fit to give the defic-
iency payment system a more
thorough study.
The I.F.U.C. Board Meeting
will be held in Guelph, July 14-
16, This is the first time this
meeting has been held in Ontario
and many from the area are mak-
ing plans to go. Plans were also
made for the Huron County Farm
Union picnic to be held in Sea-
forth, July 21.
