Jtim Boynton, secretary of the Ontario Hog Producers Assoc- iation was m Holmesville last Thursday night to explain to directors of the Huron Hog Producers Association, various developments in the plans of the FAME. -Criteria group, and of Ross Love, Huron president was in charge of the meeting, and secretary Alf Warner was in attendance, Most of the county directors attended, as well as several producers. Concerning the halting of de- benture sale for FAME, Mr. Boynton reported that the charter was applied for and issued under Part V of the Corporations Act, similar to the way in which other co- operatives had been chartered, This section exempts co-opera- tives from filing under the On- tario Securities Act. However, Colonel 0, E. Len- nox, chairman of the Ontario Securities Commission has rul- ed that FAME is not exempt. He says the company is not being operated as' a co-opera- tive. If FAME must work under the Securities Act, a registra- tion fee of $500 will be' requir- ed, plus $1,500 to $2,000 for Mr, Boynton also told the story of the meeting last Mon- day, December 5, in the office of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board. He said the Hog Producers were not given a chance to prepare themselves with facts or figures, but ap- parently were called in for the express purpose of being em- barrassed and discredited. Despite a gentleman's agree- ment •between the FPMB and the OHPA, (suggested the for- mer), that matters would be straightened out in private without the press involved, for this Monday's meeting the pr- ess had been invited by the FPMB and was' there. "When we attempted to ans- wer their questions," said Mr. Boynton, "Mr. McCague would say "Oh, that's only hearsay. I have a file right here . . ." Yet the OHPA had not been given a chance to bring facts and figures with them. Charles McInnis asked if the Price Waterhouse report had shown any sign of dishonesty in the OHPA and Mr. McCague said no, that they found noth- ing but evidence of greatest in- tegrity. Mr. Boynton said they had never refused to show anything to the Mr. Sullivan who was investigating matters at the of- fice, but he had not talked things over, and when he could not find certain things, had told the FPMB so, without asking for information at the office. Mr. Boynton also said, "It appears that having the press in was decided before hand by the Department of Agricul- ture." Mr. Boynton explained that when the levy was cut down to '30 cents a hog last summer a loss of $1,000 a day was sus- tained and the OHPMB is still recuperating losses. "We under- stand Mr. Sullivan was hired to see if they could lower the levy again, for they had been embarrassed by having to raise the levy on August 22." "As to those remarks that Mr. Kohler is said to have made, they don't seem much compared to the things mem- bers of the FPMB have said," remarked Mr. Boynton, "They seem ready to dish it out. They hint that things are not above board but they never are able to pinpoint anything" Mr. Boynton also spoke a- bout the change in electoral districts for electing members in the marketing board. There will be 11, with no directors at large. "The districts seem to have been chosen with care to upset all the former zones. It appears that two, maybe three of the present directors will not be re-elected." Elections are to take place the first Monday in March, with nominations received from 10 to 11 am., similar to those in township nominations. If not enough names, then an ex- tra half hour will be allotted, If more than enough, then bal- lotting will take place with pol- Goderich Hospital Gets $3„993 Grant Patients on the top floor of Goderich's Alexandria. Marine and General Hospital will not have to swelter next summer thanks to a $3,993 grant from The Atkinson Charitable Foun- dation, The grant allows the hospital to purchase air'-conditioning units for nine rooms on the top floor and for the kitchen. It also underwrites the cost of a main control panel and 18 el- ectrical outlets for patient rooms on the second and third floors. "Air-conditioning is usually considered a luxury," said G. G. Parsons, chairman of the board of governors. "But we are overexposed to the sun and some rooms become unbearable in summer." Because the control panel and outlets have been installed other air-conditioners lean be put in without disrupting ser- vice, The hospital has a provincial rating of 87 ,beds and serves Goderich and the surrounding townships and villages. A new wing opened in 1958 added 37 adult beds and a 22- bed, nursery to the hospital's facilities, drafts would not be presented. Mr. Lennox had pointed out that no common shares have been issued except director qualifying shares, "nor •ie there any evidence that the company has any members." "It appeared the only form of financing presently contem- plated is through 'the sale of unsecured debentures to the public generally, and when suf- ficient funds are raised to con- struct a packing plant or pack- ing plants, the operation could be placed 'on a co-operative basis by producers in the loc- ality of a packing plant be- coming associated with the venture through membership, or as shareholders. "In 'short, the public was be- ing invited to provide the pre- liminary financing cost to cr- eate a co-operative system without the right to participate in the profits, which is the basic idea behind a co-opera- tive and the incentive, no doubt, which has contributed to their success," filing a prospectus (similar to the one already filed under 'the Corporations Act), plus $150 licence fee for each of the 1,000 salesmen of debentures. The cost would be over $150,000. Mr, Boynton said that their legal advice and members of the Co-operative Union who had set up co-operatives be- fore, interpreted the order of Mr. Lennox to mean that they could not sell common stock, either. "It will be some weeks be- fore we get rolling again," he said. "We will informally try to get further interpretation from Mr. Lennox himself, We will appeal to the Commiseion and perhaps later in the courts. Launching an appeal might get disclosure of where the pres- sure may have come from," Mr, Boynton said that fax from trying to dodge disclos- ure, FAME had held 500 meet- ings across the province. "We have told more people more about FAME structure, objec- tives and financing program than have many mining secur- ities." He said that all money would be returned. Cheques would be returned, and authorized New Method to Elect Marketing Board Directors From 11 Ontario Districts Huron Federation Directors Meet, Consider Poultry, Brucellosis (By J. Carl Hemingway) Apparently there is consider- able interest among Huron County Poultry Producers since they did a fair job of filling the agricultural office board room for the discussion of the proposed egg markets ing plan. The discussion was lively and in the absence of the county poultry chairman, the secretary supplied the answers from a somewhat limited supply of lie- formation. While the majority of the meeting seemed relate in favour of the proposal there were several who seemed st- rongly opposed' to any change in the present syttem of sell-. ink eggs. Perhaps with added information from the Ontario meeting this opposition may be reconciled.. It was encouraging to find that 'there Was def- inite interest in attending the Toronto meeting and we. expect eeveral car loads made the trip. On December 8; Huron Coun- ty Federation directors met in the board rooms with president Warren Zurbrigg in charge. The report of the striking committee, which met in the forenoon, was adopted as was the recommendation that a meeting of the livestock com- tnittet and the land aequisit- lout meet in the near Suture to discuss current problems.. The educational committee was also encouraged to follow up on the action taken by CountyCouncil regarding the Possibility of a vocational sch- ool for the county as suggested in. a resolution of last spring.

He paid part- icular attention to a two-hour Co-op presentation that expl- ains the origin, development and success of the Co-opera- tive movement in Ontario. This- is available to townships that could arrange this program in conjunction with local Co-ops. Several questions were ask- ed of the agricultural represen- tative, Douglas Miles regard- ing the. gale of brucellosis re- actors, Since this' comes under the regulations of the Canada Department .of Agriculture, he recommended that we invite .br, MacLennan, of Seaforth to the next meeting. The sugges- tion was . aceepted and it is hoped that we can arrange for this for our meeting of Janu- ary 10, 1961.
