(Continued from Page One) wanted, and this was evidence they never would get everything they wanted. Explaining that the farm population had dropped from 3Q percent to 10 percent since 1941, he said the urban centres now have more representation in Ottawa. "Even when we manage to get subsidies for the farmers," Cardiff stated, "we get com- plaints from the urban mem- bers." He noted as well that food was one of the cheapest com- modities there was, hitt the things farmers had to buy were much higher in comparison. "We're in a squeeze," he stat- er. However, he did report that Canadian farmers receive high- er prices for their products than those in most other coun- tries, and this was one of the reasons why it was difficult to export agriculture products. "Farming is a gamble and will never be anything else," he stated, noting farmers were al- ways at the mercy of the ele- ments in producing crops. "But it's still the best occupa- tion in the world," he added. "What good is money?" he questioned, pointing out the many other benefits farmers en- joyed over their urban neigh- bors. Pointing out some of these benefits he noted the wholesome country air in comparison with the exhaust fumes in the city. "People are healthier in the country and don't have the high medical bills," he announced. He concluded this line of thought by stating that farmers had better air and a better life than anyone else. Had Initiative Cardiff also proudly pointed out that country people have more initiative than urban dwellers who had been in the city for up to four generations, and stated that farm youths had no difficulty in getting jobs be- cause they were sought ahead of the city kids "who have no initiative". He did delve slightly into politics, noting the fine work by the Stabilization Board in setting floor prices on certain agricultural products that in- sured farmers would not go completely broke because they were always assured of getting something back for their live- stock. "You can't lose everything," he noted. Cardiff also noted the large amounts paid out in farm loans, stating more had been paid out in the past three or four years than the total of all the other years it had been in effect. He went on to point out that Huron farmers had received $1,500,000 from the setup. Cardiff noted that not all farmers received loans because the government had to be as- sured they could pay them back and some farmers were not good risks. He did note that 99 percent of those on farms were honest, and said this was a percentage that could not be matched in any other group. The veteran politician also congratulated the' Dutch immi- grants on their work in the area and noted they put 'some of the natives to shame with their hard work as family units. "Anyone who really wants to work won't have too much trouble to get along," he con- cluded. The only policy of the Farm Union that he questioned was the $5 premium on grade A hogs, noting it was perhaps not feasible. He said this would encourage the production of hogs and the price would go down unless there was a system of control- led marketing established. Compliments Cardiff In his opening remarks, Mc- McGavin paid tribute to the fine work of his opponent in repre- senting the riding during the past number of years. Cardiff was one of the names he mentioned in the list of men he noted had served the area well in parliament both in Ot- tawa and Toronto. He heaped further praise on his "old friend", noting it was through Cardiff that he had received his start in plowing matches. Recounting some of the ex- periences of his trips to other countries, he noted the family farm was still the back-bone of these nations. I "If the small businessman and the farmer prosper, so does the whole country," he explained. McGavin said Canadian farm- ers were losing some of their reputation for quality stock be- cause much of it was being sold in foreign countries without Canadian markers. He noted one English firm reportedly sold more bacon in one year than was produced in the entire country: McGavin explaining much of it was un- doubtedly Canadian bacon. "We're losing the benefit of our grading by not marking our products better," he added. The implement dealer also said there was a good market for Canadian cheese in Eng- land as the people in that coun- try were "hungry for Cana- dian cheese". Before sitting down, he point- ed out it would be difficult in view of his lack of experience to answer questions from the floor, but added that he knew the people would be fair in this regard. More Margarine? The first question came from Mrs. Ken Williams, Clinton, who asked McGavin what the Rus- sians did with the sunflowers they grew. (In his address, McGavin noted he was pleased to see more Huron farmers growing this product, which is popular in Russia.) However, in reply to the ques- tion, he said the seed was used in the manufacture of margar- ine. (An "enemy" of the farm- er.) He said it could not replace butter however, as it had to be used for cooking as it was not safe to use unless it had been cooked. Malcolm Davidson, RR 1, Brucefield, questioned Cardiff on the'splendid scheme" being presented by Prime Minister Diefenbaker and Alvin Hamil- ton, agriculture minister, in re- gard to providing assistance to move western feed wheat into Eastern Canada. He said he felt this would cheapen the grain in this sec- tion of the country and would in return cheapen the meat, which he said was not a good idea. Cardiff expounded on the pro- gram to provide western wheat when it is needed, but did not satisfactorily answer the ques- tion, and when it was repeated said he had not had an oppor- tunity of looking into the pro- gram Davidson was mention- ing. Carl Gooier, RR 1, Auburn, questioned both candidates on their opinions of a national marketing scheme for agricul- ture products. Cardiff said he had no objec- tions to such a scheme, but said it would be a long time before it ever materialized. • "It may work," he stated, "as there is some merit in it." McGavin stated he agreed with a national marketing scheme, as it was difficult to control marketing without it be- ing on a national basis. Bob Taylor questioned Mc- Gavin on his opinions in regard to the dairy industry, but the candidate said he hadn't had time to really go into the situa- tion. The Varna man then asked Cardiff how many pounds of New Zealand 'beef had been brought into Canada in the past year. "I don't know," he was told by the candidate. "Would you hazard a guess?" Taylor questioned. Cardiff pointed out he would- n't guess because he never made statements unless he knew the facts. He did agree with Taylor that there probably was a lot of beef from New Zealand brought into the coun- try. However, he pointed out if Canada was wanting trade with other countries she had to take some things from them. "We have to take things from Japan we don't want to take and sometimes it hurts a little," he admitted. Taylor said he realized trade was a two-way street, but ques- tioned why textiles would be protected by high duties when there was no duty on New Zealand beef. "I can't answer that," Car- diff stated, "but there will be a reason." Another speaker from the floor asked why eggs had been brought in from Poland and was told by Cardiff that they had .only been brought in to be processed and then were re- turned to Poland, not affect- ing the Canadian market. Malcolm Davidson then ask- ed the candidates if they would list their party's agriculture policies. "If people don't know what our (PC's) policies are, they mustn't read," Cardiff retorted "We have agriculture policies second to none and an agricul- ture minister who's the best in the country." He told Davidson he had no intention of outlining the policy. "They must be embarrassing to Mr. Cardiff or he would an- swer," Davidson stated. This drew a round of, ap- plause from the floor and Car- diff quickly stepped forward to say he was not embarrassed and noted he had worked tooth and TIME-TO-THINK-OF FERTILIZER FORS YOUR LAWN • 10-6-4 PLANT FOOD • 6-9-6 EVERGREEN •,12-6-6 GOLF GREEN • MILORGANITE • COMPOST HUMUS 100% Organic Fertilizer. • PEAT MOSS • BONE MEAL • 20% SUPERPHOSPHATE • SHEEP MANURE • 4-12-10 For Vegetables, Trees and Flowers • LAWN GRASS SEED Spreader available to all customers for applying fertilizer. IL F. WETTLAUFER FEED MILL Phone HU 2-9792 Mary St Baptist Pastor Ordained In Bayfield Service Twenty-six evangelical Bap- tist Churches were called to sit in council at Bayfield Baptist Church on the ordination ser- vice for T, Leslie Hobbins, Bay- field, Friday, March 29. The moderator nominated for both afternoon and evening ser- vices was Rev. Harry Butler, Briscoe St. Baptist Church, London. The secretary nomin- ated for both services was Rev. R. W. Lawson, Central Baptist Church, London. Pastor Hobbins gave his testi- mony as to his conversation and to his call to the ministry, and to his statement of faith. The ordaining council found the candidate qualified in every respect to the fellowship stand- ards and plans were made to proceed with the ordination ser- vice in the evening. The evening session was led 'in a time of singing by Rev. H. Butler. Pastor W. Stephen- son of Eketer Emmanuel Bap- tist Church, read the scripture and led in prayer. Rev. R. W. Lawson read the minutes and commented on the afternoon session. All pastors present were call- nail to aid farmers. "Some of you fellows want the government to keep you," 'he charged. "They will help you, but they won't keep you." Bob Taylor then told the meeting that Davidson was not a member of the Farm Union and was a person not interested in subsidies, apparently defend- ing Davidson against the at- tack which appeared to be lev- elled at him by Cardiff. During the latter stages of the meeting, Simon Hallahan, RR 1, Belgrave, rose to his feet and asked what the dif- ference was between the Lib- erals and the Progressive Con- servatives. This drew a loud burst of laughter and applause from the crowd, and he was jokingly rul- ed out of order by another member of the audience who noted the question was not an agriculture topic. (By W. E. Elliott) GODERICH --- Huron County council has budgeted for $899,- 944 to be raised through general levy, an increase of about $16,000 over that of last year, so some municipalities are go- ing to pay more, The rate is the same at 14 mills, but certain assessments are up. Municipal clerks have received from the clerk-treasur- er an unofficial intimation as to the prospective levies. Of the county's 1063 budget, a record $2,207,435, three-quar- ters, is for highways. The high- ways total of $1,665,000 rep- resents 75 cents of every dollar of 1963 expenditure. Of the remaining 25 cents, general government takes 4, welfare 5, protection of persons and property 3,9, debentures 3.4, hospital grant 2.2, health unit 2.1. The picture is not exactly as indicated by the foregoing, for the $1,663,000 for highways is by no means all county money. It includes $500,000 for de- velopment roads, all recoverable from the Province, and $632,340 may be drawn in provincial sub- sidy on other work if the road program is completed. This leaves only $514,254 to be provided by county council for roads. For general purposes at six mills, $385,690 is to be raised, making a total of $899,- 944. ed to the platform for the or- dination prayer which was giv- en by Dr. M. R. Hall, Toronto. Rev. R. E. Robinson, First Baptist Church, Waterloo, gave the charge to the candidate. Rev, F. D. Elliott, Byron Bap- tist Church, gave the charge to the church. The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. Fred C. How- ard, Knollwood Park Baptist Church, London. Rev. T. Leslie Hobbins closed in prayer. 0 Show Profit At Seaforth Co-op SEAFORTH—Edward "Ted" Melady, Seaforth, was re-elect- ed president of the Seaforth Farmers' Co-operative at the annual meeting. The 400-member co-operative announced a net profit of $8,980 for the year's operation. A two percent cash dividend was de- clared on fuel oil and petroleum patronage. A three percent dividend on milk and feed patronage will be deferred, members decided, Speaker was Ross Hennigar of the personnel department of the United Co-operatives of Ontario. Other officers elected: Vice- presi dent, Kenneth Stewart; secretary, Warden Haney; di- rectors, Gordon Elliott, Robert McKercher, Donald Dodds and John Oldfield. In addition to the estimated $1,132,340 the Department of Highways will pay into Huron, the Province makes grants for EMO, indigents, reforestation, county jail, fox and wolf boun- ties, etc., in the .amoont of $32,430., The Province also pays $3,500 to Children's Aid, $60,500. to Huronview, $47;00 t o t h e health unit (equalling the county contribution), .and $11,000 to the county library. The grants to county organiza- tions came to .$131,000, and en- able the CAS, health unit and library board to pay rent for their quarters in the county building. These subsidies and grants total $1,295,770, but a much larger-,amount is paid direct to local municipalities in the county for education and hospi- tal grants. For all these blessings, county and municipal councillors doubt- less are grateful, even if they Trust Company Announces ,Plan To Aid Students Mr. W. H. Gregory, president of British Mortgage & Trust Company, this week announced the establishment of a $1,600 annual scholarship to attend University and enter a course leading to a career in the field of business or finance. Those who are eligible to compete for the scholarship are students in secondary schools in the counties of Perth, Huron, Grey, Bruce and Peel. They must complete Grade 13 with an average mark not lower than 70 percent in nine papers. They must enter a four-year honour course in Commerce and Finance, Business Administra- Economics or a comparable course offered by the Univer- sity of Toronto, Queens Univer- sity, the.University of Western Ontario or McMaSter Univer- sity. The scholarship will be awarded annually to the elig- ible student attaining the high- est marks. The British Mortgage Schol- arship will be paid to the win- ner's university in four install- ments: an initial payment of $600, with subsequent payments of $400, $300 and $300 in suc- ceeding years. The student will be required to obtain at least second class honour standing to retain the scholarship annually for the last three years. In making the announcement, Mr. Gregory said that the pur- pose of the scholarship is to assist worthy students to re- ceive a business education which may enable them to make a significant contribution to their communities. stop to think, as sometimes they =1st, that "government" money is first taken from the people, Provincial Treasurer James Allan, in his budget Speech in February, said that the 1963-4 forecast of aid to the munici- palities represented "90 percent of expected revenue from retail sales tax, corporation and per- sonal income tax." That still leaves the Province with Dominion grant, gasoline tax, motor vehicle licence feu, liquor profits, lands and forests revenue, and so on, As Mr, Allan says, we get back a lot of the money we contribute to the higher levels. Huron being a representative county, paying its. ,share of sales tax, gasoline tax, And so on, we probably recover about what we pay in, subject to deductions for collecting the taxes, admin- istrating government depart- ments and redistributing the money. The merry-go-round would not be so bad if this were the whole story, but much of pro- vincial outlay on highways is borrowed money. Highways are largely responsible for the en- ormous Ontario debt, on which the interest now is between $75,000,000 and $80,000,000.
