HemiNGwAY Now that the ballots are all counted and the session Parliament is to meet early in January, perhaps we can get dow the things that need to be done, Broiler Growers have had quota production in Ontario for m years and much more recently they have been able to come to so working agreement with the growers in other provinces so that are doing reasonably well. But it has happened too late. There no small family farms producing broilers. Milk Producers also are on quota production and presen producing all they want to produce and there seems to be opp tunity to get more quota and I suppose that new producers can into the business. Fortunately, smaller producers can stay with m production if they want to and they will have an equal chance to pand as they wish as the market allows and are in a position demand a reasonable return. The latest group of producers to come under quota production egg producers. According to the information given at the Hur County Federation of Agriculture annual meeting the egg produc have an Agency Marketing system similar to the White bean a wheat producers. A deduction is taken off each dozen of eggs. T Agency sets a minimum price and uses the deduction to buy eggs the market to hold that price for the producer. However there is catch. Those who produce below a certain volume (I think it is cases a week) can be docked 3c per dozen. The reason for this to pay the extra cost of picking up small lots. I also learned th many small producers who deliver their eggs to the gradi station are also losing the three cents per dozen which may not such a big percentage of the selling price but it can be a very lar percentage of the net income. As far as the regulations go there equalprice for equal quality for eggs delivered at the gradi station. The regulations also state that anyone can market the produc ti of up to 500 hens without a quota. This provides the family farm t opportunity to get back to the small laying flock which in ma cases allowed the wife and family to become actively involved in t family farm operation and incidentally, put the groceries on t table and provided "pin" money for those involved. Perhaps ev more important, it gave the wife and mother a feeling of indepe dente and the children a sense of importance. I wonder how ma farm mothers would be leaving their homes and children to dri 15, 20, 30 miles to a job if there were a profitable laying flock home?

Present Reeve of Goderich, Everett Macliwain, who is seeking re-election, reviewed his term activities on County Coun- cil, "We have been pushing for some road work by the county in our township," he said, "especially at two intersections of county roads," "In the last term," he ex- plained, "the county has established a new department of Social Services with a budget of $380,150," `Although it may appearthe rural areas subsidize the urban ones in this area of business," he told the meeting, "indications are that many welfare recipients move from the rural area to the urban centres." - Mr. Macllwain pointed to the improvements on the 13entniller Road and bridge as develop- ments made during his term. "The question of, what to do with the former Huron County Jail is still before council," he pointed out, "and the suggestion is being discussed about a museum of Penology. I really can't see many people attending such a place," he said. He did praise the activities of the Pendulum Players who staged out door theatre in the jail court yards last summer and suggested that such activities at the old jail would be an asset to "area businesses," Mr. Macllwain is being is to be spent is another question." "Do you want our own recreation committee or would you like to make arrangements with Goderich. For parks, do you want water front access to the lake or river, or playgrounds, or ball diamonds or just what?" In short remarks to the meeting, councillor by ac- clamation Jake Hayter, announ- ced that another three years contract at the land fill dump had recently been signed. He also told the meeting that the Sauble Conservation Authority is looking for land to plant trees and land to use as a nursery. Wayne Horner, also ac- claimed to the office of coun- cillor, said that many times the township council is criticized justifiably, but many times their hands are tied by Toronto. "I heard this before I was elected to my first term," he explained, "But you don't know how true it it until you sit on council." Councillor Garnet Wright, also returned by acclamation, said he had learned a lot on council during the past two years and hoped that he could do more work for the township in the next term. As a member of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority he told the meeting the Falls Conservation Area had enjoyed a very successful year and tur- ned a good profit. BURNS Sweet Pickled Collage ROLLS KRAFT.,:p4foc i MARGARINE, 3 lb. pkg. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES .Only'4persons turned out to qroderich'Vewnship meeting of electors last Wednesday night and most of those present were either running for office or were already elected to an office in Goderich or Colborne Township. Interested parties had been in- vited from the neighboring rural municipality. The township clerk opened the meeting and then outlined to those present many of the changes that had taken place in municipal elections due to the new elections act, "Many of the new laws are strange," he observed pointing to examples like if one of two candidates in a contest dies before the polls close the other is not automatically elected. A complete new election must be called. He also explained that the township would be using two ballots, one for school board 'representatives and the other for township council represen- tatives. "We could put all the names on one ballot," he noted' we felt it would be too easy to spoil a ballot in that man- ner." With the two ballot system the township hopes that if one or the other ballot should be spoiled at least an elector will cot have his vote tossed out all 'together. Walter Forbes a former Reeve of the township, was nominated to chair the meeting and he called upon the various can- didates to address the group, SHUR•GAIN leadership in nutrition • continuous research • management skills • growing animal health service starting with contestants for Huron Board of Education, Retiring board member (and board chairman) Bob Elliott told the meeting that he was very disappointed in the turn out but went on to say he was pleased to see enough interest in the Beard seat to have an elec., tion. "In my time on the board," "I have tried to prove that one per- son can represent both Colborne and Goderich Townships," Speaking to who ever would fill his position next term he noted that the job was "time con, suming" but that it could be "very rewarding," "School board is a big business now," he told the group. "We have a budget in ex- cess of $10,000,000, serve 13,000 students and employ 800 to 900 people. Although 70 percent of the cost comes from the province much is still paid by the ratepayers." With the province paying such a large share, he noted that many felt it would be trying to have too big a say in local board matters. Whether this will be true or not depends on the representation," he said. The first candidate to speak was Ronald Carter. He ex- plained that he was a ratepayer in both Goderich and Colborne Townships and had lived in Huron County since 1945. "I understand," he quipped, "that even that many years living here does not make me a native, I gues$ you have to be born here to be a real native, but 'I have been here long enough to know about the area and how the ratepayers feel." Mr, Carter said he had been businessman, farmer and teacher and that experience in the three areas would help him greatly if elected to the board. "As Mr. Elliott said, Board of Education is a big business," Mr, Carter noted, "and my business experience will aid me in that category, I farmed for five years and I know how hard it is to make a living on a farm and that expenses (taxes) must be controlled. I have also been a teacher in Goderich for five years and I know about education from the inside as well." He said he wanted to be the representative for four reasons, He was concerned about education as a parent, especially about the influence school has on children, He also noted that he was concerned how the system buys' and distributes its materials and was concerned that com- munications between the teachers and students, teachers and board and board and students were not better, "I would also like to stress," he said, "that I try to be a Christian and uphold Christian principles. If you do not want a Christian on the board then I am not your man." Candidate Bob Swartman told the meeting that he was a business man in Goderich but lived in Colborne township. "I'm not a very good farmer," he joked. "I own two acres and raise seven ducks." "I have two children in the , public school system in Colborne though," he said, "and ' I am concerned about education as a parent. Education is a very important part of our life." He said he agreed that Board of Education was big business and hoped that his business ex- perience would help him in that area of work. "I don't know that much about the Board of Education," he noted, "but I will learn, and most of all will always make myself available to the elec- tors." Mr. Swartman praised the new credit system in Secondary Schools and noted that he, like all parents, wanted aboye all, the best for the children. The third Board of Education Candidate was John Westbrook, a former resident of the town of Goderich and now a resident of Goderich Township. "I am a farmer," he ex- plained, "and like most farmers I work seven days a week but I will find sufficient time to work with the Board of Education." In other areas Mr. Westbrook has been the Goderich Town- ship representative on the Board of Governors at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich and represented the Township on the Federation of Agriculture. "I would do my best to represent the two townships of Goderich and Colborne as a challenged for his seat, this term by a former reeve, Grant Stirling. "I hope this election. will generate more interest than this meeting," Mr, Stirling observed at the outset. "It is at the municipal level that the tax- payer gets the most for his money in government." He went on to charge that Huron County council was `Away out of line," in its expan- sion to take in more deputy reeves, Mr, Stirling also said that he was opposed to the recent sale of the Goderich Township Hall. "It was well worth any expense it cost if it helped keep the com- munity together, in any way, through the small gatherings held there." In closing Mr. Sterling urged those few present to get out and vote and to get their neighbors out to vote, Deputy Reeve for the new term, by virtue of acclamation, Gerry Ginn told the group that one of the ',matters Township Council must consider soon would be what they intend to do with the money and property ob- tained by the Township through land severences. (The township collects 5 percent of the value in land severence deals or 5 per- cent of the property in sub- division agreements.) "This land is destined to be in the field of recreation," he reminded the voters, "but how it KELLOGG'S CORN FLAKES i i3 38 oz. pkg.
