Carl Hemingway 3ing Life" ■ A friend dropped off the Jan­ uary issue of the Presbyterian Record. The article “Long Life and 1967” speaks of the-great advances that medical science is malting in prolonging life on earth. It also points put that the New testament tells us that “’•life is more than food, shelter and clothing." In other word's there is more to life than just staying alive. Unless life has a purpose death is a reward rather than a dis-1 aster.. Further, when life’s purpose has been accomplished there, is no advantage in having it pro­ longed by pills and artificial Spare parts. About this -time I felt I was beyond my depth so I turned to the News-Record for the re­ port of the County Beef Pro­ ducers 'meeting and strangely there seemed to be some con­ nection. I somehow fee! that the Beef Producers Association is sort of following the example of the Medical 'profession in prolong­ ing life. ■ • . I think it is time farmers re­ alized that the ..foririation of ah organization and keeping it <!;alive" is not enough.. There1 must be more to a farm organ­ ization than this. There- miust be a purpose and the purpose must be of service to the farmer. Apparently there is a move­ ment afoot to raise money for the organization by a voluntary check-off on all cattle slaugh­ tered! 10c on cattle, 5c on Calves. The motion was defeated at the Huron meeting.- Why? 1 would feel certain that it was not the cost of'the' check­ off, even though it would total About $146,000 per year, that defeated the motion. It was the fact that the purpose was not Worth it. As far as the report is con­ cerned, there are four object­ ives. The first is to supply money to keep the' Association ‘'alive". This of course has to be done if the organization is to Continue but it is not much incentive to the cheCk-off since (he government grant js already doing this. The second’ purpose is given Us promotion, I can ohly guess what is hidant by this but in Other industries it would mean the development 'of ehthusdasm of those within the industry which Would lead to expansion of the industry* Will this bene­ fit Beef Producers? Apparently those attending the meeting didn’t think so. “Promotion” could also mean an effort to “promote" the sale of beef. This could 'in the long run be disasterous to farmers. Other industries can do. this successfully. If every family has a oar the auto industry „can promote the “two-car” family idea or the four-radio, two-TV or twio “what-ever-you-have” family but can you promote the “tWo-beef-steak” family without making it, a no-porkchop fam-, iiy" ar a'no-egg, no-broiiler or no-turkey family, so. we end Up by spending thousands to pro­ mote- the sale of beef, and thousands to promote the sale of other meat products and the amount that we can increase tlie consumption Of meat is very limited. The, third objective is re­ search. This no doubt could mean improvement in efficiency of operation, better feed con­ version and improved quality of product buit Will it mean irti- proved income for the ‘farmer as compared to other sections .in our economy? \ J Most farmers would agree that the improvement in effici­ ency over, the past years has, not -taken the farmer to a high- er rung on the economic ladder. The final purpose of the check­ off is to finance the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and its purposes were not reported. xNo wonder the check-off was not supported. It seems to have been made quite dear that ■ nothing was to be done about marketing. Why? When will the farmer wake up? The roaster chicken producers didn’t want a marketing plan and are now extinct. Even though a few broliier growers were able to put the small far­ mer out of the chicken busin­ ess, they came to the place where marketing had to be mastered. Why hasn’t the small hog producer disappeared? Do farmers not realize that a difference of up to 14c per dozen A. large eggs between small and large producers will soon put egg production on the same' basis as broiler growing' even- to a marketing plan. ■ Unless ..steps are taken is there any doubt that-.the small, beef producer is also doomed — not because of inefficiency but by' discrepancy of selling price. (By Shirley J. Keller) It appears that an addition to Pioneer Park in Goderich of which James, Chisholm is cur­ ator is required if' the popular Huron County tourist attraction is to make room for all exhibits now at the museum and ail those expected in the coming months. Reporting to the January ses­ sion of County Council, Mr. Chisholm recalled that 1965 Warden Glenn Webb had ask­ ed, “Do you think you’ll ever fill it (an addition)." The mu­ seum is now “full to the doors", the curator said. He proposed a 9,600 square foot addition to the present building at a cost, of about -$9,000. He indicated’ he would be willing to do a great deal of the work involved .in the construction. In 1966; Pioneer Museum had 23,474 visitors, an increase of 1,312 parsons ovei' the previous year. Included were 3,362 school children from 82 schools. “People were pleased with what they saw,” Chisholm told council members. “They think they get the worth, of their money. I believe the Museum Will come closer to paying. its way than many other projects in Huron." A devoted curator, Mr. Chis­ holm noted With some longing -that Huron County Museum had been offered a Bell Thresher, built in Seaforth before the line became obsolete. “It. belongs in the museum,” he said, “but there is no room." A bronze Centennial plaque will be erected on the new wing at the Museum it was reported. More Space , The property committee is in­ vestigating possible solution to problems from inadequacies at the Huron County Library site and the Court House Where used clothing for the Children’s ■Aid has been stored in one of the vaults. With the changeover from a co-operative Library system to a County Library Service, ad­ ditional space is required for ah increased volume of books. As well, easily accessible ramps for loading and unloading will be needed. To date, no suitable spot has been chosen by the property committee Who will study the matter further dur- ing the coming months. Members of- the property committee will also consider the problem of relocating used clothing now stored in a vault in the basement of the Court House. The report revealed that the vault space was “.desper­ ately" needed for cards, the original the vaults. - In recent years, vault was utilized venient place to store clothing donated for redistribution to the County's needy and to complete the necessary labor involved in cleaning, mending and pressing the wearing apparel. ------------o------------ storing re­ purpose of the unused as a con- It's all acrossjianada @ Westinghouse WESTINGHOUSE RANGE SPECIAL PRICE DURING WHITE SALE FROM S159.00 WITH TRADE Weather Fouls OFU Meeting Inclement Weather curbed at-, tendance at the January 17 meeting of Holmesville Local 219 of the.
