Baking I was warned by My family not to write a column about this; however, no fearless col- umnist 'has ever been deterred by threats. I can always get a room at the YMCA for a few days, if worst comes to worst. My son Hugh is going to pre- sent a piano recital in a couple of weeks at the Conservatory, in the city. The announcement has created a flurry of excite- ment, alarm and despondency that Will' likely be unequalled until the day my daughter de- clares 'that she is going to be marnied. Needless to say, the one who is excited, alarmed and despon-. dent is not I. Nor is it my daughter. Nor is it the star of the evening, himself. In fact, he is quite cool about it. So cool, indeed, that he isn't quite sure of the date, the' place, 'the time, or how much,it will cost his old man. * * No, it's his mother who is panicking. First of all, she 'de- mands to know, in the name of all that is ridiculous, how he hopes to have his pieces ready in such a short time. "It's im- poigible!" She wails. "It's out of the nuestiow% You are a mutt!" The next minute, she's dole- fully predicting that nobody will come to the recital, and that we'll be disgraced, sham- ed forever in the eyes of . . . uh . I don't know whom, exactly. We fight back, of • course, Hugh goes into a vague, involv- ed, explanation of how 'he can get his pieces in shape. It has to do with turning over new leaves, letting no graSs grow underfoot, nose to grindstone, Shoulder to wheel and stitches in time. "Hah!" snorts 'his mum. "The only thing that will ,save your bacon is divine intervention'," RE 'something of the sort' she intimates. I step in to pour oil, on the fiery waters, or tears, of rage, as some call them. I assure her that the hall will be filled, the applause will lift the roof, the critics' will proclaim a new Paderewski, and we'll all be proud, rich and happy ever after. "There'll be nobody 'there'but the family," she says flatly. She hadn't even 'heard me. "Not a soul •will come." We proceed to prove her wrong. We count up the -aunts and cousins who HAVE to come. We count, up the friends and students who MIGHT come. Total is about 23. "You see?" triumphantly. "You people aren't realistic. We'll be a laughing-stock. Ws going to be a big flop. Every- body we iinvite will say they'd love to pomp, but they jest can't make 'it that night." Bit- terly. Then I have a bright idea. I'll prpbably have to de it when Kim is married, so I might as well give Hugh • a send-off. I explain to the Old Battle Axe. It's the only way to .assernble a crowd in these 'troubled 'times. She 'agrees, feels better, even grins. At the bottom of the invita- tions we will have printed: "Re- freshments afterwards at the Blank Hotel, Room So-and-So."

There are two reasons for the urgency in the matter and to overlook them will either result in no' such facilities at all, or facilities being pro- vided at unnecessarily high costs. A visit to the present Lions arena will prove beyond any doubt the validity of the first reason. It is the plain and simple fact that the arena is quickly reaching the state where it is deterior- ating to an unsafe condition and is be- yond the. stage where it can be 'suffic.-- iently refurbished to alter , this condi- tion. The plain feet of the matter is that the structure's days, are ngmbered and to overlook this could unfortunately re- sult in a tragedy that would leave , a permanent scar on this community. However, for the peace of mind of readers, it should be pointed out that the Lions are keeping a close watch on the building and are aware of the situa- tiorf and will certainly not take any risks in regard to operating 'the facilities under unsafe conditions. The second reason for which the decision must be Made in the very near future is due to the financial assistance that is available to the community for such a project. The standard grants available will not change apparently, although it THE QUESTION of compulsory marketing is one that manages to, stir up comments periodically. and a reader recently brought in an article and asked us to have it printed in the paper. The opinions were gleaned from a copy of the "Canadian Cattlemen" which we understand is a popular magazine a- mong top breeders and was written by F. E. Ellis, secretary, of the Manitoba Stock Growers' Association. It is interesting due to the fact he comments on the hog marketing system in Ontario and it is always good to hear the remarks of those on the "outside". It is as follows: Last month your association pre- sented a brief to the Premier and mem- bers of the Manitoba Cabinet. The brief covered marketing, the Horned Cattle Act, crown lands and U.S. trade. 'In stressing the necessity of keep- ing marketing methods free from com- pulsion, the Association pointed out that the system of hog marketing as it now existed in Ontario was not working out to the satisfaction of the producer and that the vague promises of increased re- turns through this system could not be associated with 'the realization of the sit- uation: Marketing methods, to be satisfactory, must be flexible and voluntary. The re- storation of the public yards for com- petitive bidding in hogs would be a step in the right direction. In this" regard it is gratifying to' note that the recent report of •the Live- stock Commision to the Legislature has stated that a voluntary teletype hog auction would go a long way toward meeting all the most widely sought ob- jectives of producers and other groups interested in hog marketing. While all the recommendations of the Commission may not be possible, et Would take some explaining to find out. why some communities appear -to re- ceive more favourable compensation than others. T31.1t there are two other sources "floating" around at the Present time in the form of centennial grants and Municipal Works /Assistance program which the government manages to "for- get" to collect in their entirety, and in so doing actually give a grant of as much as 25 percent. If we are going to have an arena in Clinton, it would be extreme folly to miss out on one or the other of these two grants, clePencling on which is found to be most suitable for such a project. As the two funds have been explain- ed to us, it would appear that the Municipal Works Assistance program would be more beneficial for a large project such as pan arena. However, this may riot be the case. At any rate, council should explore both theseavenues fully and be, prepared to know exactly how much assistance is available. The committee investigating a new arena have done some very important ground work in this regard and again we note that the decision should be made within the very near future. On the surface it would appear to be a comparatively simple decision as Clinton MUST have a new arena. if we are going to provide this beneficial recreation facility and NOW is the best time to build one due 'to the financial assistance available. is worth noting that this Committee held its first hearing in' September of 1961. Since that time, it has conducted a most intensive investigation into all the known methods of livestock marketing over a very large area of the North American continent. With the infor- mation gathered, it indicates that a method of marketing can be evolved which to be successful, does not neces- sarily have to be compulsory, Considering the time ,spent or re- search and assembling this market in- formation, it would be reasonable to ex- pect that producer organizations and political parties would attach some im- portance to its findings and at least be prepared to implement its recom- medations on a trial basis. It is dis- couraging, and alarming therefore t o note that this is not the case. For some obscure reason the forces for compulsion are still at work. Theirs is not a fight for better marketing meth- ods but a fight for monopoly. The sooner that this objective is clearly understood by those believing in democracy, then the less danger there will be for the loss of individual freedom, Let us not be- come apathetic or lulled into a sense of false security. Wars have been fought to keep de- mocracy safe. Surely we in peacetime can do our part to see that it is not frittered away piecemeal for some eth- ereal and imaginary economic advant- age. It will be interesting indeed when the Commission's report is debated in the legislature to note those who still insist that there should be a plebiscite held to determine whether or not a system of compulsory board marketing be introduced. It will be an indication of their desire to protect the democratic rights of the individual. Nag' NPws,itecord,Tlwrsclay?
