t'iea in Toronto. Frey replied
that as far as he knew every
payment went through the To
ronto office.
Asked, what benefit it was to
farmers to endorse theix* hog
checks for membership in the
co-op, Frey said they were cer
tain tax privileges which the
co-op received if 80 percent of
the people it dealt with were
members. He also said that only
members would receive dividends
if the co-op ever declared a sur
plus.

■In answer to another question,
Frey said the hoax'd had not
seriously considered going into
the packing business. He said
that to buy a small plant would
not be effective and before he
would consider going into it in
a big .way he would want to be
shown that the present system
is inefficient and that the present
packers are making exorbitant
profits.
The Sarnia director said Ont
ario farmers were producing 30
percent more than they were a
year ago and this production was
far exceeding supply. Last week,
he said, 118,000 hogs were mark
eted and the domestic consump-
tion only called for 112,000.

of hogs has increased, too. It
was 5.7 percent more in 1955
than in 1954 and 5.9 percent
greatei* in 1954 thajx in 1953.
Agricultural Representative G,
W. Montgomery, who conducted
the election of officers, endorsed
the marketing co-op. “I’m con
vinced they are doing a good job
for you,”................
“I think it’s a real
right direction.”
“The farmer has
to take what he was _
he has a chance to say something
about it”.*
Mr. Montgomery urged that
the co-op distribute literature
with their statement showing pro
ducers how to raise better 'hogs
to improve the quality of meat.

financial statement which show
ed a balance of $586.'54. Receipts

Dispute Election
Of Hog Directors
(Present method of electing
directors to the Huron Hog Pro
ducers Association was sustained
following a controversy at the
annual meeting in Clinton Wed
nesday.
Directors have been appointed
at annual meetings of township
federations. Several farmers pro
tests that producers’ representa
tives should be elected at special
hog producers’ meetings since
the federation includes all farm
ers whether they are hog growers
or not. Others thought they
should be elected -at the annual
meeting of the county associa
tion.
A r g u m e n t s voiced against
changing the present system were
that all producers were entitled
to attend the federation meetings
and that by electing them at the
township, level it was more demo
cratic than appointing them

because of the slippery condition
of the road.
Magistrate Holmes ruled’ it
was definitely an infraction of
the traffic law by Van Deursan
in -that he failed to yield the
right of wiay to ipie othei' driver who was on the through ’high
way and therefore not obligated
to stop. The magistrate recom
mended that .warnings of inter
sections be placed on country
roads similar to those used on
roads which intersect -busy high
ways.
Magistrate Holmes dismissed a
charge of careless driving to
which William Ernest Allen of
RCAF Station Centralia pleaded
not guilty.
Allen and Murray Elliott, of
Centralia, were Involved in" a
head-on collision on the Cen
tralia airport sideroad on De
cember 4 during a fog. Both
drivers testified they were driv
ing at lew speeds because of the
poor visibility and yet both cars
were almost totally wrecked in
the collision. P.C. John Forde
investigated the accident.
Mr. Elliott, who was proceeding west in his 1966 model
testified he was on his own
of tlie road when the oar he
meeting, driven (by Allen,
into him. Mr. Allen* his wife
two children were on -their
to Centralia. Both drivers were
hospitalised as a result of the
accident.
Magistrate Holmes remarked
he -had never dealt with an acci
dent In which so much damage
resulted when neither driver
was going at an excessive speed.
Since he could not come to a
clear decision, lie dismissed the
charge against Allen. N, C.
