OHPA, called the recommenda-
tions an 'attempt to "put mar-
keting under state control" He
claimed that the reduction in
service charge would use up ac-
cumulated funds and leave the
association without any funds
to finance temporary deficits.
County delegates authorized
the Association to make appli-
cation for incorporation under
processing co-operative regula-
tions, This follows a warning
earlier this year by Mr. Mans
nis that, producers would enter
the processing field to combat
opposition to its efforts to se-
cure :higher prices for farmers,
Dif 'Monieson stated that to
be successful this would. have
to ,be done in a big way. "We
have in mind a. plant that
would handle between 8,000
and 12,000 hogs a week at a
location that is still secret."
Delegates approved a move
to have another accounting
firm conduct an investigation
into, their operations, and will
'ask the farm products market-
ing ,board to refrain from mak-
ing 'fiesther action in adopting
their recommendations o f
Price, Waterhouse, until they
have received their report, pro-
bablY within seven weeks.
Delegates also violently ob-
jected to recommendations
which they believed were sub-
tly aimed to eliminate the
producers research and infor-
ation service. Price, Water-
house urged that the producers
agency which provides these
services be disbanded.

An investment of $20,000
two pieces of equipment, will
give Clinton Laundry and Dry
Cleaners facilities for dry
cleaning, unsurpassed in Cana-
da. A. "Red" Garon, energetic
owner of the plant explained
that if the machines were kept
operating for ten hours each
day, they would handle all the
dry cleaning to be done in Hu-
ron County.
Mr. Garon is installing the
new machines in an addition to
his plant, which will double
the floor space.. This new addi-
tion will house the dry clean-
ing plant, and also will pro-
vide a two-deck installation to
store clothing in off seasons.
Housekeeping
Gets Attention
Of Town Council
Spring house cleaning fever
struck the council of Clinton
on Monday night as they
brought a record meeting (on-
ly an hour long) to a close.
They took the housekeeping of
the town hail ,and park to task,
and suggested a number of im-
provements.
Included were a cleaning jab
on the venetian blind's of the
police office; waxing of the
new tile floor in the police of-
fice, and picking up' scrap pap-
er in the library park.
Also Councillor George Awn-
ball, as the only member of
the Kinsmen Club on Council,
was •asked to convey apprecia-
tion to the club for the fine
use over the years of the trash
cans on main streets, and sug-
gest that one or two More of
them would come in handy.
Mayor Bridle answered
a suggestion that the new street
name SignpoSts be painted, re-
marking that a businessmen's
association was in the making
for Clinton, and this could work
Into a fine project for that
group,
This storage space will be 3,-
600 cubic feet. Arrangements
are being made to install cool-
ing plant, to make this •a cold
storage space.
Laundry facilities will be
kept in the present plant,
which is connected to the addi-
tion by a covered breezeway.
The receiving and collecting
centre will also remain in the
present building. The addition
provides for a truck entrance,
so that •loading of delivery vans
can lie made inside.
Since opening for business
ten years ago, Mr. Garon has
completely changed his dry
cleaning equipment three tim-
es. The new machines are the
first ones off the production line
at the factory where they are
built in the United States.
Main feature is that all of the
solvent is completely purified
by distillation after every load
of clothes is put through. A
filter, with glass front, allows
the operator to view the sol-
vent at all times, in order to
make sure that it is complete-
ly clean.
Result of this modern equip-
ment is that workers inn the
plant will have a healthier
place to work, and odors on
clothing will be eliminated. en-
tirely.

Biggest project for the Kins-
Nearly 300 hog producers
met in Toronto last Wednes-
day, including a. full represen-
tation. of directors from Huron
County, and resolved to seek
repeal of the ten cent a hog
reduction in the service charge
paid by producers to the On-
tario Hog Producers Market-
ing Board.
The recommendations made
by Price, Waterhouse and Co.,
Toronto, accounting firm, in-
cluded this ten cent reduction.
More 'details concerning their
'recommendations appear else-
where in this issue.
Dr. D. D. Monieson, assoc-
iate professor of marketing
and foreign commerce at the
University of Pennsylvania, at-
tacked the Price, Waterhouse
report, "It was a bungling,
fumbling attempt by the Farm
Products Marketing Board to
get rid of obstacles in their
way, namely the leadership of
this aggressive association," he
claimed. "This ten cents off is
probably the cheapest bribe in
history."
Dr. Monieson is research ad- ,
vigor to the OHPA.

Clifford H. Epps, Clinton,

seven years, resigned from this
position at the annual meeting
held in Chesney Arena, July 6.
Charles, Bristow, Lucknow, was

be held in Hamilton next
March.
Twelve of the 17 societies
comprising the district were
represented at the meeting
with 85 signing the register. In
the ne wibusiness following the
election, Mr. Epps suggested a
resolution be presented to the
provincial board of directors:
that District Eight, which ex-
tends from EXeter in the south
to Tobermory in the north, be
divided. This resolution was
accepted with an additional
suggestion that in the event
the Department of Agriculture,
Horticultural Branch, should
see fit to divide the district,
the newly appointed director,
Mr. Bristow, Lucknow, be the
director for the south half, and
Mr. Fenton, Tara, runner-up in
the election, be director for the
northern section. This sugges-
tion was accepted. Mr. Bris-
tow extended an invitation to
hold the 1961 annual meeting
hr Lucknow, which was accept-
ed.
Russell Gimme, previncial
secretary, stated in his brief
address, "Increased member-
ship in horticultural Societies is
impertant. Most societies are
comprised of two groups of
