About 150 members of the 17 marketing boards in the pro vince attended' the session which lasted for three hours; Donald MacDonald, NDP lead er, also attended the session, al though the minister had specifi cally asked members of the Legislature to stay away; Monday afternoon the minis ter refused to report to the legislature because the purpose of the closed meeting would be defeated if he reported on it to the house. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has called; a meet ing for tomorrow in Toronto, to discuss the takeover. James Boynton, secretary of the Ontario Hog Producers Marketing Board says his board will urge the OFA meeting to pass a resolution' that approval come from an impartial author ity 'before the Government takes such action again. Charles Huffman, Harrow, OFA pr-esffidenit has stated that the OFA had no warning of the Government’s replacement of the bean board. "If we had been informed,” said Huffman, “we might have helped to get it going ■ smoothly.” A 'wheat board director said the takeover seemed unneces sary and was done in a miser able way. In the interview taped at the Western Ontario Farm Show, London and used on the Roy Jewell show, Bob Allan stated' that the agreement made last fall between the FPMB and the Bean Board laid down 11 chang es for the Bean Board to make within the next year. At the time of the takeover there were only two of the 11 changes deft undone, and these were the es tablishment of separate offices, and the hiring of a separate secretary for the board. As late as January 10, Mr. Arbuckle, chairman of the FP- MB had told the bean board they were proceeding favourab ly toward achieving the de mands of the FPMB. Following -the vote, said Mr. Allan, the board was proceeding. ait once to make the last two changes, expecting to complete them 'before they got busy with seeding. From' the left are Roy Tyndall, project chairman, presenting the keys to Rev. Grant Mills; Mrs. Mills. receiv ing flowers from Mrs. Harold Wettlauf er and Mr. Wettlaufer, president of the mpn’R .cl uh.

FAME Makes A Last Ditch Try For Salvation Directors of FAME, the Far mers Allied Meat Enterprises Co-operative Limited, are mak ing a last ditch attempt to sal vage the Co-operative, and save .the money which 'investors have entrusted to them. In communication with all present shareholders, the presi dent, Williarq Anderson, points out that shares in FAME at present have no value, — but if 5,000 farmers each invested $200 'in FAME' shares today, then all shares and debentures would again have value, and shareholders could process their own livestock. FAME is giving an under taking that for investment to day ($100 per share), they will put 95 percent in trust, and use the other, five percent for ad ministration purposes. , A deadline has been set for May 30. “If by that time FAME either acquires a meat packing plant, or has approved plans to build such a plant, your money will be used to finance the pro ject and.1 two shares will be is sued to you. If FAME does not . . : either acquire or build a plant by May 30 ... . then 95 percent of your money will be returned to you.” Investment, or pledges are in vited. -----------o-----------' OPP Reports On December's Work Corporal C.

PKbtb) Thurs., March 10, 1966-—Clinton News-Record—Page5 Celebrating 50 Years Marriage Two separate gatherings this week ,are honouring Mr. and Mrs, Elmer William Cblquhoun, ill Huron Street, on their 50th wedding anniversary. On Tuesday Mr, and Mrs. Colquhoun were* surprised when over 20 relatives and friends from Hibbert Township arrived. The affair was arranged by members of the Colquhoun fam ily in this ’area. On Saturday evening their seven' sons and four daughters will all be home and a family dinner and social evening will be held in the basement of the Londesboro Community Hall. Mr. and Mrs, Colquhoun were married on March 8, 1916 at the Presbyterian Church Manse to Cromarty, Hibbert Town ship, by the late David Ritchie, Mrs. Colquhoun is1 the former Isabelle Catherine (Belle) Mc- Kellar, daughter of the late,Mr, and Mrs; Donald McKeilar, Cromarty. Mi’. aolquhoun’s parents were the late Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Colquhoun, Staffa. Both are descended from pio neer Hibbert Township families. Immediately after then' mar riage they went to farm near Shaunavon, in south western Saskatchewan, After three years; they returned to Hibbert Township where they farmed until 1928 when Mr. Colquhoun joined Ontario Hydro and work ed out of Mitchell. In tlie fall of 1930 the family moved to Clinton When the Ont ario Hydro office was opened here. Mr. Colquhoun remained with the hydro for many years as a lineman. In 1943 he joined the RCAF as an electrician First Column (Continued from page 1) year ending March 31, 1966 . . . and which obsolete War machine we next plan to buy from the excited States . . . :1< * Way back during World War 2, a chap by the name of Jack Statham was a member of the 23rd Anti-tank Regiment . . . and hlis battery captain was Dudley M.

The London Free Press cares, and does a continuing job of re porting the situation . . . The Stratford Beacon-Herald does a coverage, by means of keeping close track of what the Free Press prints ... The Toronto Star ignores the whole thing . . . and the Globe and Mail ■tries hard, but falls short of the mark in some instances . . . It was the Globe and Mail which on Tuesday quoted Herb Arbuckle as saying the “grow ers may have received .... less for the 1965 crop of beans than they should have if the board had advised growers properly on how much to charge.” 1 We rather hope that this was a reporter’s paraphrase of what Herb actually said . . . After all, he’s chairman of the two- man Ontario Farm Products- Marketing Board, that disband ed the 11-man elected Bean Board, appointed a 'three-man group to run it, and all that . . . and he should know a good deal about farmers . . But surely anyone to this position must know that farm ers have never been to a pos ition of ‘‘charging” for any of their produce . . ♦ Whether it is livestock, beans, or chopped hay .'. , it’s a buyer’s market 'al ways .- . . >and the farmer gets what the buyer wants him to have . . , But then again, may be the reporter was in error . . . or maybe Herb has been work ing in the city too long, and has forgotten how things really are .... s|s * >t< We can’t leave this “bean” situation alone until we have made at least one more obser vation: stated reason for the government action was that the board refused to separate' the offices, and management of the marketing board from the bean company » . . So, when the gov ernment stepped into the pic ture, the line of command went like this : The Government instructed the Farm Products Marketing Board,, Which now has two members; The FPMB named three men •as directors of the new bean board; The new board sat down ana named three directors for the company; Theft the director's of tlie company, searched for someone who knew something about the job at hand, hired Archie Mc- Murchy, the manager of the company under the old board, to' continue with his old job. It hardly seems oft the face iU that the directors of the company are particularly far separated from the directors of' the board . t < (News-Record Photo) MR. AND MRS.
