The regulations will call for new and higher standards of tests for applicants for licenses to drive school buses and the establishment of minimum standards of mechanical fitness for these vehicles. More than 1,300 delegates from •all parts of Ontario, other parts of Canada and the United States attended the Road Safe- ty Workshops in Toronto last month, sponsored by the On- tario Department of Transport. Business, industry, labor, relig- ion, education, women's organi- zations, public information media, law enforcement agenc- ies, the courts, and youth groups were represented. The Ontario Department of Education, De- partment of Highways and De- partment of the Attorney-Gen- eral also co-operated in the conference. Mr. Rowntree told the con- ference that the number of licensed vehicles of all types in Ontario had passed the 2,- 000,000 mark in 1960 and the number of licensed drivers had gone to 2,300,000, both all-time highs. In the same year 1,040 On- tario citizens were killed and another 30,000 injured—with property damage exceeding $35 million, he pointed out. Pedestrian crosswalks, the point system and driver educa- tion for secondary school stu- dents were among the hottest topics discussed. 0 .farm Show At London Will be Four Day bent AlTanigements for the West, xrii Ontario Farm inow (tine.. 23rd Annual Middlesex .rm.0 District Seed Fair) at the Western Fair Grounds, London, February 22 to 25 indicate an- other good show.

Support price to producers has been established at $22.65 per hundred-weight, national basis, which is about 83.5 per- cent of the base or 10-year average price of $27.11 per hundredweight. Mr. Hamilton said the action taken by the Go'vernment in placing hog support oni a de- ficiency payment basis has had the anticipated effect of elim- inating the previous surplus 'production and greatly improv- ing hag prices. Over the past year, prices to producerS have averaged a- bout $1 per hundredweight more than the national support price. A year ago, the price of Grade A hogs at Toronto was $23.65. It is how $29 and it 'has been at or above that level for same time, Hog Support Price To Be Same As Set for 1960 0.4075 SCRATCH PADS At News-Record 10 for 40c 'MY RANH --NOTICE"—• Township of Tuckersmith, Ratepayers and inhabitants of the Township of Tuckersmith ore requested, by the council, to not park cars on townships roads and streets during the winter months in order to facilitate snowplowing operations, Council will not be responsible for damages to any vehicles parked on roads or streets.

Recommended Prices for Seed Grown in Ontario After careful consideration of the seed' situation across the province, together with prices for commercial feeds, the seed marketing committee of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improve- ment Association has recom- mended the following minimum prices for 1961 seeding: Oats, registered No. 1 grade, $1.75 per bushel; certified No. 1 gr- ade, $1.65 per bushel; com- mercial No. 1 grade, $1.50 per bushel. Barley, registered No. 1 grade, $2.35 per bushel; cert- ified No. 1 grade, $2.20 per bushel; commercial No. 1 grade, $1.90 per bushel. These prices are f.nr treated seed in new bags •at producer's farm, F.O.B. shipping point. The committee, composed of growers, dealers, and officials of the federal and provincial Departments of Agriculture, re- ports that York, Herta, and Parkland varieties' of barley are the most popular. Garry and Rodney oats lead' for best re- sults, although newer varieties are being developed and releas- ed with some added advantages. A complete list of seed for sale in Ontario is 'available from the Office of the county agricultural representative. 7 Carl On Thursday evening, Feb. ruary 9, an info maZlo ;nee. on "FAME" (Fa..inee's Al- lied Meat Enlorpri,e-.;) we*. held in the agricultural office board rooms, Cli.rson.

"FAME" is a Co-Operative 'o roed for the purpose of huoltitering, processing, pack- -.2;ing and wholesaling farm 'Ivestock, At present, at least, here has been no interest thown in retailing, The Co-Operative Ch ar ter was taken out in. September,. 196Q, listing a board of direc- 'ors and all the shareholders. :phis board of directors, which was at first made up of the 11 man board of directors of the Hog Producers Association, is only a provisional board and is only in power until a meet- ing of all members of the Co- Operative can be organized. This meeting must be called be- fore March 31. To have member voting priv- ileges at this meeting the mem- ber must own one or more paid up shares. Each member will have only one vote regard- less of the number of shares purchased. A share sales campaign ins presently being conducted and a canvasser will he calling on you shortly. And just a word of warning, just in case some fast operator should decide to take advantage of the situa- tion., ask the canvasser for his credentials unless you know him personally. The minimum objective is two million dollars. The money so raised will build two reasonably large pro- cessing plants. In 'the case of hogs FAME will purchase them from the H o g Producers' Marketing Agency just the same as any other processing plant unless the Farm Products Marketing Board withdraws the power of direction. Producers or dealers hi cattle, calves, sheep or lambs will be able 'to sell direct to FAME is they so desire. Profits from the 'Co-Opera- tive may be used to pay inter- est up to eight percent on the shares or as cash refunds on the basis of member patronage or as deferred patronage re- funds to be used in the interim 'for plant expansion. How this is done will be the decision of the board of direc- tors the members elect some- time before March 31. In order that it be fully understood that FAME is not restricted to the processing of hogs, 11 additional directors have been added to the original provisional board so that beef, sheep and lamb producers are now well represented. 1 9 2 192 I j 1 9 2 BANK Or MONTREAL expeada4 ?ale Valk If your house needs fixing up, see the B of M about CI low-cost Home Improvement Loan.
