Why is it that we are so eager to condemn a new idea? It is even more difficult to understand when a similar idea had already been proven suc- cessful a comparatively' f e w miles away, Perhaps in closing I might make a similar comparison to the coming election. When will we, the electors, realize that men are more important than parties and when will elected- members realize that good gov- ernment is more important than staying in power or put- ting the other fellow out? Will it be this time or 20 years hence? 0 Clinton NCO Retires Flight Sergeant J. L.

Guelph roc- ently, During a discussion on farm-controlled marketing, A: H. K. Musgrave, president of the Ontario Federation of Ag, ricultpre, said that the hog marketing board was "doing a splendid job" in the field of producer marketing. ' Mr. Musgrave said hog pro- ducers 'know where they are going and are making full use of their organization. Earlier in the discussion, t h e OFA president criticised a lot of On- tario farmers and farm organ- izations for fighting amongst themselves. However, he made a special point of excluding hog producers from these remarks. "Unfortunately," Mr. Mus- grave said, "the Ontario hog producers are one of the few farm groups in Ontario who are efficiently and effectively using their 'organization to the utmost — to improve condi- tions for the farmers." G. B. Phillips, pork produc- tion specialist at Auburn Un- iversity in the U,S. says you can tell by the way a pig walks whether he is a good pig. A pig's walk tells a lot about his quality, whether he's a meat-type or a lard-type. If a pig just meanders. or lazes around, the farmer had better look elsewhere for qual- ity Mr. Phillips advises. If a Endorse Resolution Council also endorsed a reso- lution from Wentworth County, asking for endorsement pro- hibiting the sale and use of mineral-based detergents. Detergents can be manufac- tured with an organic base that can be broken down and puri- fied, but this is not the case with mineral base, and as these can not be broken down by any known purification meth- ods, it eventually is found in underground sources of water and in lakes and rivers. All members or council were present for the meeting and ad- journed to meet again on Mon- day, March 4. 0 Of the 4,389,766 Canadians who paid personal income tax in 1960, 3,357,041 were in the $2,000-to-$7,000 income brack- et; only 17,689 were in the $25,000-and-over income class. pig shakes when ne walks, like a bowl full of jelly., it isn't just because he's jolly, He's soft, \vasty; and flabby, — a lard-type rather than a meat- type. Mr. .Phillips goes on to say that a good quality ho g is Wert ana WOlicS- as if he is •proud of himself. • The desirable meat hog doesn't waggle his hams. He picks up his feet and puts them down with care, An Item of Interest Sometimes when you're feeling important, Sometimes when your ego's in bloom, Sometimes when you think that only you Are the best qualified in the room: Sometime when you think that Your going Would leave an unfillable hole, Just try this simple example And see how it humbles your soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water, Plunge your hand in it up to your wrist, Pull it out and the hole that's remaining Is the measure of how you'll be missed. You may splash all you like as you enter, You may stir up the water galore, But stop, and you'll find in a minute, That it looks much the same as before. The moral of this quaint example is Just do the best that you can, Be proud of yourself, but remember There is no indispensable man. Former Reeve Of Tuckersmith Dies.

In he July 1946 issue a the Reader's Digest t her e is .a story headed, "Doctors Run the Show". it deals with the care of the war veterans who need treatment as a result of mili- tarY service, If a veteran felt the need of medical services he contact- ed the Veteran's Administra- tion which in turn required him to go to one of the military hospitals. This in many cases meant miles of travel and often days of time. General Omar Bradley be- came disgusted with the miles of red tape, the waste in time and the expense of travel. He set up what was first known as the Michigan plan. When the veteran decided he was entitled to medical service he wrote his local Veteran Af- fairs office and two days later he received a one page author- ization which he took to • his own local doctor where he re- ceived the necessary treatment. The doctor sent his bill to the government and received payment the following week. Under this plan the Veterans' Administration signs a con- tract with the State Medical Association, or private doctors if there is no state association, under which the doctors give necessary treatment for serv- ice-conected illness or injury at a standard table of fees set up by the doctors themselves. There was a great fear on the part of many doctors that this would interfere with their freedom and opposition result- ed. However, the Acting Chief Medical Director of Veteran's Administration, Major General Hawley, stated very bluntly that the Michigan Doctors would co-operate, "or else" and the "or else" in this case was state medicine, The doctors submitted and are now heartily enthusiastic with the method, which ac- cording to the article had been introduced in four other states and would eventually cover the country. Sixteen years later the gov- ernment of Saskatchewan in- troduced basically the same plan to care for everyone. Most of us will remember the hue and cry that resulted but isn't it strange that so little is heard of it now. I haven't noticed, any com- ments on the Saskatchewan situation in the past six months and apparently we are to have some form of "Medicare" after Oct Dn Huron Weeklies Still Among Best, Three Win Prizes in Ontario Test BARN CLEANER SILO UNLOADER & BUNK FEEDER YOU'LL GET BETTER PER- FORMANCE AND LONGER WEAR FROM A BADGER SALE 5EkvICg INSTALLATION JOHN BEANS, Jr. Phone Collect HU 2-9250 BRUCEFIELO, ONT, Hullett Grant $200 To Londesboro Hall, Call Tenders for Warble Fly Program ABOUT BOX NUMBERS: News-Rebord box num- bers are used by ad- vertisers in classified advertising for their own good reasons.
