By Reg Armstrong
The fact that highway Speed lava aren't
really set by any scientific study of
safety, but just seem to be numbers -
pulled from a hat becomes especially apparent when you drive
through the US. You may cross two or three states in a day
and• find the speed limit jumping up and down between 50,
55 and 60,'
r
The American Automobile Association 'recently pro-
posed et new °method for setting highway speed limits. The
idea is to let motorists themselves decide what a safe speed is.
It's done,like so many things these days, with radar.
The AAA has found that a safe speed is usally the speed tra-
velled by 85 percent of drivers on any particular road. So the
AAA has asked that state-wide or 'province -wide speed laws,
many of them unrealistically low, be abolished in 'favor of the
speed that radar devices show is the ueual speed of 85 peroent
of motorists.
•
Figures ,I noticed recently showed that, contrary to
what I always believed, most highway accidents don't happen
at high speeds. A. ,study in Nebraska established that 73
percent of all accidents oceured at less than 30 miles an hour.
When speed limits were raised in Nebraska accidents were
reduced and the average speed of the cars on the highway
didn't change at all which only went toprove drivers were
ignoring old speed limits anyway and driving at 'What they
thought was a safe speed.
You just have to conclude that moat drivers are ordinary
people with good horse sense. We think so, so we have built
our good name in the used Gar business by giving year -in,
year -out • value and satisfaction, Our best advertisement is the
number of people who've come back time after time to buy
cars from us.

"The Perforation has reached

arrive at 'the position in which
we find ourselves today. Why
.should anyone start at the bot-
tom for another organization that
couldn't possibly be any snore of

Criticizes Imports
Resuming .nisi/ attack on the
government for approving the
import .of 250 million pounds of
New Zealand cheese, Mr. Cardiff
said this move 'is a "slap in the
face" for the Canadian cheese in-
dustry,
"Can you think of anything
More drastic," he asked,
"than to allow New Zealand
cheese to be imported into Cana-
da to depress still further An in-
dustry already in a depressed
state,"•
-
"liven the consumer will not •
get any benefit Rut of that," Mr.
Cardiff said,. „because it will be
processed and sold not as New
Zealand Cheep, but will he ab-
sorbed and sold in the regular
brands,. netting the processor five
cents per pound on 250 million
pounds .over and above what he
would make on Canadian chases..,
I"roducers Progressing
"The' cheese producers a year
or two age took cheese out Of the
government's hands sad set up
machinery to look after their own
commodity, and as a matter of
fact, were getting along very.
well, It 4a like telling a child
"new you are on your own" and
then giving him a slap In the
face because he was looking after
himself. I for one don't like that
sort of reasoning," •
Last week in the dolmans
Mr.
Cardiff eri£Eicized the Govern-
ment's decision to permit the
portation of New Zealand cheese
at a time when there was a .sur-
plus of 10,000,000 pounds or
more of the domestic product.
Taking part in the Throne
Speech debate, Mr. Cardiff—who
also rapped recent lamb importa-
tions ---said Ontario cheese pro-
ducers who had set up the ma-
chinery to market their ow...pro
duce and who had relieved the
Government of the necessity of
subsidizing the domestic industry,
deserved better from the Domin-
ion 'Government,,
Blamed For Food Prices
Mr. Cardiff said farmers some-
times were blamed for high food.
Down
to
Earth
By D. I. HOOPER
What To Do?
A matter that has been much DID YOU KNOW?
in the headlines for the past few
weeks is that the F''ederal Minister
Of Agriculture has permitted a
trade agreement ' whereby New
Zealand cheese is being brought
into Canada. The Cheese Produc-
ers are up in arms and are voic=
ing loud protestations in. Ottawa.
dlston Cardiff, M.P., Huron,
has taken up the fight. A dairy-
man 'before he entered• politics,
we know of no man .better ac-
quainted with the problems now
being faced by the producers of
dairy products.
At the present time it would:
appear that the dairyman is in a
grant vise and, on the surface,
it appears that Mr; :Gardiner does
not care .a hoot. Ile seems to be
definitely "buttering his bread"
but he apparently does not care
if it is done with ;Canadian or a
foreign, product. Why does he
not come out and make his Pos-
ition clear? Perhaps his actions
could be justified if the Federal
Government told the whole ec-
onomic story. Mr. •Gardiner's de-
cision , may have been necessary
in' the overall picture.
T• he Monthly 'Dairy Report,
January 1955, Ontario Department
of Agriculture, contains -' figures
which show just how much the
rise 4n feed costs alone have de-
creased the producer's margin of
profit --which were never large at,
any time..
Milk prices in November 1953---
2,46 cwt. ,
Milk prices in November 1954--
4
2 fi cwt.
Fed prices e' p er Prices
ton December 1953 1954
No. 1 Peed Oats 55.616 63.00

Oil Cake, 85.67 100.00
-16% Protein 74.67 76.33
Dry & Freshening 76.67 80,00
From the above figures it would
appear that milk production feed
costs have increased approximat-
ely 14-15 % while the price of
milk has .increased a mere 1e
per cwt. We don't pretend to be
a whiz at figures but inaybe some
dairyinan will some up with the
answer as to ` just -how little he
is netting on a .cwt. of milk at
the present retail .feed prices,
,Stocks , of creamery' hut t Or
throughout Canada January 1st,
1955, amounted to 91,067,000

So it is no surprise that the
Dairy Per:nets of 'Canada are
wondering just what state tier
Cannella/1 governinent is in whet!
it is permitting 'foreign etieese
and other dairy products to 'be
imported to compete' with large

tare, but this is definitely not

ping a bit,

Prices. But they, were not respons-
ible for the spread between the
price the farmer received and
what the consumer paid, .4s an
example, he said farmers were
getting about .26 dents a dozen
for eggs while. he floor prioe w.as
22 cents :a dozen.
The price of farm products had
drQ ed some a x3 :Der cent in the
pest two years, on. the baste of
overall production, while those
Items the farmer had ' to pure
chase in most instances had in-
creased in price,
The M.P. said, many Huron
tarmers last year .had lost their
bean crops,in some cases worth
as high .as $0,000 but there was
little in the way of complaint
from; them. Others lost corn,• soy-
bean and sugar beet crops.
The plight of some of these
.farmers was such that unless they
received more consideration from
the government on the .e,gestion
of farm prices, something would
have, to be done to bring down
the prices of farm purchases.
Farmers alone could not be Mt-
pected to subsidize manufactur-
ing industries.
Huron Hog Producers-
Back
Market Scheme
Theodore Parker, who has been
conducting an anti -Hog Marketing
Board -United Livestock ,Sales ltd,
campaign, was given a left-hand-
ed compliment Thursday by a
man who said he was "not sup-
'porting that Perth man,"
Bert Lobb, of Holmesville, pres-
ident of the Huron County Hog
Producers Association, speaking
at the organization's .annual, meet-
ing at Clinton said he was not
supporting "that gentleman down
in Perth" (Theodore Parker) but.
expressed the opinion that as a
result of Parker's campaign- or-
ganizations such as hog producers
and Federation of Agriculture
had gained strength because ap-
position had drawn members to-
gether.
The organization went on re-
cord as supporting the present
hog marketing system with es-
tablished central agency, and also
supported a resolution that the
Federation of Agriculture should
be recognized as the official voice
of the rural people. ..
The hog marketing System in
general was discussed briefly af-
ter Elred Aiken, of Owen Sound,
chairman of the Marketing Board,
explained the work of the board
and outlined the history of its
and other farm 'commodity group
organizations.
Mr. Aiken said, in answer to
one question,. that the manager
of U.L.B. had been ,redently re-
placed as a t'esult of conferences
between the company and the
marketing board representatives.
(Aiken is one of the men sum-
monsed by writ to appear in an
action brought by Theodore Park-
er of Ellice. township. The action
protests the legality of the mar-
keting board's •right, to permit a
Private company .to handle hog
marketing. lie said Thursday he
had just received his dopy of the
writ) .
"Not Too Strong11
The association president, Mr.
Lobb, said that a few months ago
"feeling ran high" over the hog
marketing situation but that in
recent weeks things had cdoled
off. "In my opinion we are con-
stitutionally' not too strong," he
said, referring to the present mar-
keting legislation and expressed
the view that something stronger
and more suitable might be de-
veloped on a national basis under
a .plarni Products Control Board.
One of the results of the U.71.'S,
Marketing Board conferences, ac-
cording to 2Yir. Aiken, was estab
lishment of a. hog assembly centre
at„Kitchener, He said that if hog
Producers in other centres want-
ed such assembly pointe they
coald be established.
He said the marketing board
had authority to order truckers
holding P-C,V. licences to "go
where we wan% them to go," but
that esteblishment of convenient
assembly points might help iron
out some transportation problems.
J. -S. Whyte, general manager
and president of Whyte Packing
Company, Stratford, gave the pro-
ducers the packing plant's side
of the marketing problems and
outlined activities on the part of
the packer to raise standards of
quality.
Following officers were elected:
President, Bert Lobb, Clinton;
1st vice-president, Harry Sturdy,
Auburn; 2nd vice-president, Alvin
Rau, -Zurich; secretary -treasurer,
Alfred Warner, Bayfield.

Freedom of the danger of spreading disease. Unit bulls
are tested for many diseases and are under very strict health
