" Bayfield Plans July 1 Barbecue BAYFIELD — The United Church Women, Unit 1, held ’ their midwinter meeting oh Thursday at the home of Mrs. WiHiam Metcalfe with Mrs. Poth and Mrs. Greer in charge. Mrs. Penhale, UCW president, had attended a meeting of the Presbyterial 'Executive in Clin­ ton and gdve the report One item of business was the planning far a Barbecue to be ' held on the Square, on July 1 under ,the auspices of the Cen­ tennial Committee. This com­ mittee has asked the UCW to take charge of the event and word has been received from the caterers that they will be available for that diate. >• On _______________ . r I’ve heard 'it remarked that there are two sets of laws in this country; one set for each side of the “tracks”. *, Apparently the farmer is an the. wrong side of the “tracks”. On February 9 the Hurton County Wheat Producers, held their annual meeting. The one big question in the minds of the producers was the prospects, of the 1967 crop. Would the yield be up, down,1 or equal to 1966? The object of every farmer is to have a good crop and yet he is extremely frightened of good crops. The floor price is reason­ ably satisfactory at 81.80 per bushel but really should be $2. Of course the farmer can’t count on $1.80 for his wheat: 18 cents is . deducted. One cent to operate the producer organ­ ization and 17 cents to export surplus into the export market. If. the crop is poor there wall be no wheat to export and, at the end of the crop year he gets the 17 cent refund or $1.79 for his wheat, plus any addition that the market is forced to pay over, the $1.80 floor price. . The only difficulty with this is the fact that a low yield doesn’t add up, even though the price is favourable. . What of a good crop? Then there is a lot of wheat to- ex­ port and no. prospect of getting any of the 17 cents back. In fact the Ontario Wheat produc­ ers are deducted an additional two cents per bushel for three years (when it will become a revolving fund) just in case the farmers really excel themselves and produce a bumper crop. If this happens it could take the 23 cents 'to export the surplus and the returns would be $1.56 per bushel. ‘ , In other words, the better, you do the less you get for it! I wonder what other industry operates this way. • Farmers in particular and. people generally are being told, that they should specialize and not meddle in other ventures/ The experience, we, in the Brussels area, are having with., dur municipal telephone system makes me.wonder if we should listen to the experts;. ‘ \ . Around the turn of the cen­ tury a number of telephone en­ thusiasts signed collateral notes to finance a telephone system for their municipality. Nd cash was invested. Now a company of present subscribers is being formed to take over the three municipal, telephone systems of McKillop, Blyth -and the. Brussels; Morris and Grey. Ten dollar shares are being ■. given out to the sub­ scribers. of.each’ of-the systems up to the value of the net assets of each municipality. ' •■ • In other *-words, -because a large number of forward look­ ing people showed faith in themselves even though they, didn’t invest a cent, I will now receive shares, or if I prefer, cash to the extent, of over $200. Even more significant is the fact that during the depression our municipality had telephone service at $8 per year and very few if any gave it up. During the late thirties I -happened to be living in -a Bell Telephone area where the rates for farms Was either $18 or $24. I’m not sure which, but so few farmers had a telephone that it was practically useless except for city or town calls. For financing further expan­ sion representatives of the Ont­ ario Telephone Commission in­ formed us that the Securities Commission had given approval for the sale of mortgage bonds for $300,000 which is over 35% of the assets. Things were different when farmers made a strong bid to provide themselves with live­ stock processing facilities. - First the sale of unsecured debentures was forbidden by the Securities Commission. ____a ____ Second, no financial group- economically. was found that would accept collateral nates in order to sup­ ply finances. ’ v .' Third, I have been told, on What I consider good authority, that permission to sell mortgage bonds’to the extent of 42% of property assets was refused by the Securities Commission. Perhaps there are two sets of laws. -----------o----------- Explorer Girls Held Their Own Day of Prayer The Explorer Girls of Ontario Street United Church held1 a special meeting on Wednesday evening, February' 8.
