Egg Support Plan
Laid Down By
Minister Harkness
Agricultural Minister, Doug-
las S. Harkness, announced Fri-
day in Ottawa that ehe price
of eggs will be supported' for
the period October 1, 1960 to
September 30, 1961 at an aver-
age of 33 cents per dozen to
producers for Canada Grade A
Large and Extra Large. This
is about 83 per cent of the
base price.
The deficiency payment pro-
gram of support for shell eggs
that has applied during the
past 12 months will be contin-
ued, the Minister said. Under
this method, the Agricultural
Stafbilization -Board will make
a deficiency payment equal to
the amount by which the nat-
ional average price received, by
producers for the 12-month
period is less than the support
price.
Payments to any one produc-
er during the 12-month period
will be limited to 4,000 dozen
Grade A Large and Extra
Large eggs, Each producer
marketing eggs through regis-
tered egg grading stations, or
selling eggs to retail outlets as a
producer-grader, will be eligible
to participate.
The Minister, emphasized' that
to be eligible for any deficiency
payment which may be made,
producers must be registered
with the Agricultural Stabiliza-
tion Board and their sales re-
ported to the Board by the
egg grading stations, or, in the
case of producer-graders, dir-
ectly to the Board.

Hopkinson Only
Tender for Airport
Price: RIM
After 15 years in the air-
port business, Huron County is
selling out, and turning Sky
Harbour Airport, north of God-
erich over to private owner-
ship. At a special one-day ses-
sion, Monday, council authoriz-
ed the signing of an agreement
'to sell the airport to Keith
Hopkinson, at a price of
$25,000.
Ralph Jewell, reeve of Col-
borne Township, and chairman
of the county airport commit-
tee, reported that tenders: had
been called for the sale of the
airport, and that Mr, Hopkin-
son was' the only tenderer,
The history of the county's
involvement in Sky Haebour
began 20 years ago, when as
a wartime measure, the county
bought land on the Lake Hur-
on coastline, north of the
mouth of the Maitland River,
and gave it to the Dominion
Government for use as an air-
training station, The Dominion
Government subsequently bole-
glit:'''raOre land,' to extend the
runways, After the war, the
county leased the airport from
the Dominion, to keep the air-
port from being abandoned. For
the past 15 years, Mr, Hop-
kinson has been a sub-tenant
renting most of the land and
some of the buildings from the
County, and operating 'the air-
port.
For several years the county
negotiated with War Assets
Corporation, trying to buy the
airport property, including both
the land originally donated by
the county, and the land added
to it. County Council hoped at
first to be able to get it at
a nominal figure, 'but finally
had to pay $30,000 to buy the
property, a year ago.
The county is under obliga-
tion to the Dominion Depart-
ment of Transport to maintain
an airfield in serviceable con-
dition for the next 25 years.
As part of the agreement of
sale to Mr. Hopkinson, the new
owner undertakes this obliga-
tion.
A portion of the airport pro-
perty, including one large hang
ar used as a warehouse, had
previously been sold by 'the
county to the Goderich Manu-
facturing Co. The sale to Mr.
Hopkinson involves 300 acres
of land, one large hangar, and
several smaller airport build-
ings.
Reeve Jewell reported that
Mr. Hopkinson had given a cer-
tified cheque for $6,250 with
his tender and asked for 90
days, from the acceptance of
his offer, to complete the pur-
chase. He is also to take over
from the county an agreement
for supply of water to the
Goderich Manufacturing Co.,
and an agreement with the
Canadian Pacific Railway cov-
ering sewage-disposal arrange-
ments.
