President R. Y. Hattin expressed
his belief that the matter of inducing
industry to settle in Huron was a
vital one, perhaps even more impor
tant than sopie of the other muni
cipal work. He stated that when he
had been on the council at Virden,
Manitoba, he had been instrumental
in getting the one industry in that
town which was settled there.
Coun. J. Crich, Seaforth, suggested
that even though a full-time man
were hired to take charge of looking

which to proceed. The next meeting

The gun crews were hard at it last
Monday, under the instruction of Sgt.
Jack Blackwell and Bdr. Bill Wells. I
asked Bdr. Wells how he was making
out, and he replied, “If this gunner
doesn’t hurry, up and get this gun
ready for firing he will be a casualty
at the hands of gun position officer.”
Don’t worry, Bill, just blame it on the
cold weather.

Tile ' M. T. Section was in lecture
all evening as it was too dirty of a

subject was called “What makes it

and not Sgt. Grover. That still re
mains a mystery. The boys were very
interested in the subject and it should
help them when: they play around

Should Advertise
Farm Products, Says
Federation Fieldman
The beef producers across Canada
have agreed to set up a fund with
which to promote the sales of beef,
says Jim Powers, secretary fieldman,
Byuce County Federation of Agricul
ture. The door is open for the other
branches of the meat industry, the
pork and poultry producers, to join
into the formation of meat institute.
Why advertise? That is the question
many farmers are asking. We know
that people will eat and if they do
not eat beef, they will be eating pork
or perhaps eggs and poultry, meat.
So in general it is believed that pro
motion of farm products will not help
the over-all picture.
-To some extent ’that view is true
but there are other problems in the
meat industry. We have lived through
a period of high beef prices and the
consumer discontinued buying beef be
cause of high prices. At the present
time pork products will not be on rhe
consumer’s plate as often, owing to
high prices. Next year we will prob
ably have surplus stocks building and
here is where a fund will be necessary
to tell the consumer of the lower
prices and food value of pork. At the
present time we should be promoting
the sales of beef when our marketings
are heavy. Th^ consumer public will
sometimes turn to greater use of veg
etables instead of meat products and
very often to imported vegetables at
that. We must tell the public the
high food value of our beef and other
products.
Consumer education re grades and
purchases etc., has been neglected. Re
cently I heard a’ food expert discuss
the high value of canned vegetables,
Canadian grown, in comparison to the
fresh imported ones we find in our
stores at this time of the year. She
pointed out tomatoes and carrots in
particular, and the saving in dollars
as well. Think of the need of con
sumer education in this alone; instead
of running to Ottawa for tariff pro
tection, this possibly could bo part of
the answer not only for agriculture
but others as well.
Advertising farm products is a new
idea. In other industries however, it

SMELT FISHING RULES
CLARIFIED BY DEPT.
Some confusion and misunderstand
ing which beset non-resident smelt
fishermen last year has been cleared
up this year with a change in license
provisions, it has been announced by
the Hon. Welland S. Gemmell, Mini
ster of Lands and Forests. The change
will save them money.
Formerly, the non-resident required
an angling licence costing $6.50 and a
smelt fishig licence costing $1. This
year, non-residents may fish for smelt
with a $5 licence.
“A non-resident may
under the authority of a ‘Non-resident
Licence to Take Smelt for Personal
Use’ available from the licence issuers
at a fee of $5,” the Minister said.
“This license permits the taking of
smelt and it is necessary for each
non-resident who assists in the fish
ing to be in possession of non-resident
licence.”
Residents will pay a $1 licence fee
as usual. The licence “to take smelt
for personal use” permits the possess
ion and use of one net. Several helpers
may accompany the resident licencee
and assist in his operation of the het.
“The helpers, if residents of Ontario,,
do not necessarily require licences to
assist in the netting since they are
not in possession of the net,” the
Minister explained.
A resident may take smelt in a dip
net up to three feet by three feet
without a licence.
“Under these licences the nets may
be operated day or night. There are
no waters in which a licence is not
required, but the small seines and dip
nets may not be used in:
“(a) The waters of the Counties of
Victoria, Peterborough, Northumber
land or Durham or
“(b) The waters of (1) the Trent
River of Lake Scugog or (11) Crow
Lake, Crow River or Beaver Creek in
the County of Hastings

Skunks have lately been overruning
the Chatham district in unprecedented
numbers.
They are also being overrun—by
motorists in the area.
No one has so far been able to
explain the large numbers of striped

the Thames River may be responsible.
Whatever the reason, the skunks
are there. And they have made their
