Maintenance Handles
Planes, Buildings
—Continued From Page Nine
The centre of the Maintenance
Wing organization is the Control
Room. It is here that an accur
ate check is kept of all flying
time. These times are progres
sively logged by the clerical staff
who tell the flight servicing par
ties which aircraft may be used,
and for how many hours before
placing a relief aircraft in service.
This arrangement makes pos
sible the maximum number of
aircraft flying at all times and
brings into Repair Squadron for
periodic inspection and/or over
haul, a regular number of air
craft throughout the working
week. This system of staggering
aircraft inspections is the most
business-like method of ensur
ing that the largest number of
aircraft are available for use at
any time, and operates efficiently
at this training establishment.
Mobile Equipment such as
transport vehicles, ambulances,
fire-fighting equipment, snow
clearance machinery, etc., is
serviced and repaired under the
direction of a senior NCO who is
directly responsible to the Offi
cer in charge of Maintenance
Wing. This organization is simi
lar to the repair methods used
by trucking concerns and bus
companies.
Works and Buildings is re
sponsible for all buildings and
ground maintenance. Carpenters
Painters, Electricians and Plumbers are a’ll employed in this
section and carry out minor’ re
pairs on the unit. During the
winter months one of the major
responsibilities is that of snow
clearance from the aerodrome,
enabling flying to be carried
out without a break.
The Supply Section for the
procurement and distribution of
all supplies used on the unit.
This includes clothing and equip
ment for issue to the airmen
plus all aircraft parts and tools
for use in the Maintenance
Wing.

Chaotic Butter Situation Reveals
Insufficient Storage Operations
By GORDON M- OWQ
The present chaotic butter
situation gives us fair warning
that we cannot rely on our Fed
eral Department of Agriculture
to do the job of storing suffi
cient food in time of plenty to
carry our consumers over ’’’the
period of short supply.
In an agricultural country like
we have, there should never be
a shortage of basic foods, such
as -meat, -butter, -cheese, -eggs
etc., yet we have found cheese
hard to buy at any price, butter
is being doled out on a week to
week basis and next fall eggs
will be a luxury on almost any-
ones table.
Forum Discusses
Farm Services
Revere Farm Forum was held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charlie Gowan on Monday night,
Owing to the stormy evening
and heavy snow covered roads
only a few forum members were
present. The subject for discus
sion was “Pipelines of informa
tion—-Are the farm extension
services adeqate?"
First question—Some people
say farmers do not make good
use of the agricultural services
that are available to them. What
do you think?
It was thought maybe the old
er generation didn’t but the
younger generation with their
junior institutes and junior
farmers will make more steady
use of the services that are
available. Experience, too, was
a grjfeat factor in all farm ’ lines.
H. R. Hare in his book on farm
business management says “The
best farmer is something of a
machinist, blacksmith, electri
cian, carpenter, geologist engine
er, architect, accountant, busin
ess man, veterinarian, meteorolo
gist, bacteriologist, chemist, and
laborer”. In other words a farm
er has to know something about
a great many different subjects.
It was decided that closing
night would be Monday March
26, when the questionaire will
be answered. Lunch was served
by the hostess and her daughter.
Mr. anl Mrs. Joseph Zuball
and Barbara visited Friday with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jose
ph Zuball Sr. and family,
When we find problems like
these confronting us, we have to
look carefully to see if we can
find the cause. So fan I can sug
gest a few reasons^ for these
shortages. First we have the
Government policy of directing
the flow of milk into certain
channels by making the price
more attractive in that particular
market. Secondly we have the
cut back in price on these pro
ducts when all other prices were
moving upward. Thirdly we have
the good financial returns for
meats that make it a better bus
iness proposition to let calves
milk the cows rather than milk
them and sell the milk to make
cheese or butter.
The solution to this dilemma
of short supply and excessive
prices will not he an easy one.
The price of butter and eggs will
have to be set at a much higher
level than last year to encour
age farmers to produce more of
these essentials than they have
done during the past year. We
can produce more than enough
butter, cheese and eggs to satisfy
our national consumer demand
but it will not be done at a price
such as we received, in 1950.
namely 2 8 cents per pound for
cheese, 53 cents per pound for
butter and around 32 cents for
eggs.
We will have to rely more up
on our marketing boards to tell
us what is required to fill the
consumer demand and what price
we can expect to receive for our
produce,
Gas Refunds
At the March Directors meet
ing of the Huron County Federa
tion of Agriculture held in Clin
ton on March 20th, a resolution
was passed and forwarded to
the Ontario Dept, of Highways
asking that gas tax refunds be
paid within sixty days of receipt
of application. It was also sug
gested that the Dept, send the
farmer a receipt stating that the
application has been received' at
the Dept, of Highways office.
In some cases a farmer has had
to wait six months before re
ceiving payment for his rebate on
tractor gas used in doing farm
work. When we owe the govern
ment money it is payed promptly
(or else). When it owes us
money, any time will do to make
payment.
