"We stand for the right of producers to de- termine how the product shall be marketed and to choose the market/1g agency," he said. Recent legislation has cut into such rights to some extent. The co-operative is coping with the new ground rules by establish- ing its own meat packing or- ganization, which is expected to begin operations this fall, "By growing vertically in the meat industry, the producers hope to receive a large share of the consumer's dollar. "General manager of the co- operative,. J. R. Kohler, told the 400 delegates that in Janu- ary exports and imports of pork were almost at balance, exports being only the equiv- alent of 445 hogs greater than imparts." 0 Daily Rates Up At Huronview The home committee report- ed to county council that the Department of Welfare had advised that daily rate for 1961 at the home must be no less than $3.11. This is based on the actual operating costs far the previous year. An official opening of the new building is planned for this summer. By that time the old part of the home will be demolished. Committee chairman Reeve Rey Adair noted that the county home farm is not pay- ing its way, and urged council members to study the situa- tion and be ready to discuss what steps, should be taken if any, at the June session. Thinking now about water on your pasture this year? Prof- essor Raithby of the OAC An- imal Husbandry Department suggests a tank of 350 to 600 gallon capacity for 'tanks not on a pressure system. This will provide -a one-day supply for 20 to 30 'head of beef cat- tle. The larger size is best tif there is some danger the pow- er might fail and you'll need a 2-day supply.

Warner Named To Hog Co-operative Board Only 60 Attend Legion Meeting When only about 60 members out of a total membership of over 230 attend the general meetings of Clinton Branch 140 of the Canaclain Legion, the attendance draw prize is bound to mount up. The prize starts et $5 and goes up $5 each meeting until the member whose name is drawn is in at- tendance. Monday night's prize was worth $20 and the mem- ber whose name was drawn, was not present; so next mon- th's prize is worth $25. The branch authorized the Guide and Brownie Committee to sponsor two or three girls at camp this coming summer. If a favorable market can be found for scrap paper, the branch will hold their annual spring paper drive as soon as possible. Watch this paper for date. And in the meantime% scrap paper could be tied in bundles and saved for the delve. The piano in the hall will be overhauled for the -use of the various groups using the hail. The meeting turned down a request from the executive committee to have another Legion member apply for not- ary powers to handle branch business. The installation of a shuffle board in the hall has been quite a, lucrative deal so far, and the branch are inquiring into the possibility of purchasing the board outright. Art present it is on a 60 percent to the shuffle board company and 40 percent to the branch. President Jim Graham was in charge of the meeting. Clin- ton Wells won the regular monthly draw. Legionaires a r e presently selling tickets on two big golf prizes which will be drawn for at the April general meeting. At the annual meeting of the Hog Producers Association and Marketing Board and the semi-anneal meeting of the Co- operative in Toronto last week, Alfred Warner, RR 1, Bayfield, was named one of the 11-man board in charge of the Ontario Hog Producers Co-operative. Mr. Warner, who is secre- tary of the Huron County Hog Producers Association and ch- airman of the FAME campaign for sales of shares in the coun- ty, is one of the four directors- at-large of the provincial co- operative. Representing Zone 6, which for both the Association and the Co-operative is comprised of Huron, Bruce and Grey Counties, is Eldred Aiken, Al- lenford, a long-time member of both boards. Mr„Aiken also- was named to represent this• zone on the Association for the coming year. Though Huron and Perth are both large hog-producing coun- ties in the province, awards for good grades' went to Water- loo and Glengary counties. Waterloo received the Hog Producers Association cup for producing the largest number of Grade A hogs during 1960 and the Newton Cup was a- warded to Glengarry County for the largest percentage in- crease of Grade A hogs in 1960 over 1959. According to a Globe and Mail story concerning the Hog Producers meetings, "The rift between hog producers and the truckers who transport their products appeared in a resolu- tion passed at the semi-annual meeting in Toronto of the On tario Hog Producers Co-opera- tive. "The truckers were given. three months to stop meddling in hog producers' marketing affairs. That meddling has been going on was admitted by James McLeod, of the livestock transport division of the Auto- motive Transport Association who was invited to attend the co-operative's convention. "Mr. McLeod, while not a- greeing with the resolution that a large segment of the livestock trucking industry con- tinues to be antagonistic to ft mm organizations, 'a fg reed there. are 'dissidents'. He re- ceived applause when he told the hog-Taisers, `the sooner I can convince some of our peo- ple to get their noses out of your business the better'." "At present producers auto- matically deduct the truckers' fees in transactions, saving the trucker from collecting his pay from each individual fare men If the board is not satis- fied in three months that the situation has cleared up, the deduction system will -be scrap- ped. "The convention expressed gratitude to the Department of Agriculture for its increasing of the premium on Grade A hogs to $3, in an effort to en- courage a higher percentage of quality product, which is also an aim of the association. "An attempt will be made by 'the board to make a new method of hog sales work. The new method, accepted' tin- der duress to conform to new government regulations', will be ROY MANN'S SUPERTEST STATI 0 le ASHTON'S TAXI (Hervey Ashton, Proprietor) DAY and NIGHT SERVICE DIAL HU 2-9334 CLINTON If No Answer e Residence) Dial HU 1-9815 County Mill Rate Up -to 14 For Current 12 Months teem Coerity`s mill rate Will be 14 mills in 1961, up one- tenth of a mill over the rate for 1960. The tax levy, approved by county council Friday, will Provide seven mills for general purposes and sever). mills fox highway purposes, Last year, the general rate was 6 9/10 mills, and the highway levy seven mills. In presenting the tax rate along with the 1961 budget, Frank Walkom, reeve of God- erich and chairman of the fin- ance con-Mateo, said council "had no alternative but to raise the rate." Two extra nurses, to he hired this year, account for part of the need for more funds, although, as Reeve Walkom said, "it is elif- fleet to -Pin down the reason for an increase to any one point." The extra tenth of a mill will add, $6,000 to the county funds, The 14 mills will raise about $859,510 on the county's present assessment. 1961 Budget The estimated revenue in 1961 for the county, according to the new budget, will be $le 534,224, The greatest part of this -amount will be raised by the county rates, with -govern- ment grants =orating rte en estimated $632,664 bringing in the second largest amount. A $10,000 surplus from 1960 is included in lire revenue total. The estimated expenditure for 1961 will be $1,511,900, leaving a surplus of $22,324. The clerk-treasurer, John Ber- ry, said the surplus figure is subject to variations. In the past two years, the general account has operated with a surplus, although the highways acount has had -a deficit, The largest slice of the rev- enue will be spent on public works. For highway and bridge work, maintenance and con- struction' in 1961, the council has budgeted $1,022,000. Though it is a full program, the over-. all total for public works is down considerably because less. money is being spent on the county's development road. The next largest amount, $105,000, will be used for pub- lic welfare, which includes ch- ild welfare, hospitalization, and the County Home. Other Outlays Other expenditures for 1961, -as estimated in the budget are: $85,000 for general governtrienit; $76,700 for protection to per- sons and property; $79,300 for debt charges; $50,000 for a reserve fund; $46,000 for the health unit; 12,000 for the lib- rary; $7,100 in agricultural gr- ants; $7,000 for the museum; $4,100 in' patriotic grants; $4,- 000 for the discount on coun- ty, rates; $4,900 for education grants; $3,800 for the registry office; and $3,600 for reforest- ation. The increasing costs of child welfare, and the larger Coun- ty Home operation were the chief reasons, according to Mr. Berry, for rising costs of pub- lic welfare. The provincial -government has paid $505,000 in grants to- wards the County Home pro- jest, Mr. Berry said, and more funds are expected. Mr. Berry, commenting on phases of the anew budget, said the county is "well within the financial allotment" for work at the County Home. Mr. Berry said $50,000 has been set aside in- the budget to be applied' to the reserve fund in connection with grants to county hospitals for construc- tion purposes.
