(At present’all hogs commercially slaughtered in the province are mark eted by an agency hired by the Ont ario Hog Producers Marketing Board.) The resolution asks the Ont ario Federation to work with the hog producers marketing board and agen cy to improve the agency’s methods so that agency marketing of hogs will become mote efficient, effective and satisfactory to all producers. The re solution suggests that the outcome of this first experiment in agency mar keting will influence the marketing of other farm products in the future. The Ontario Federation of Agri culture includes as members organiza tions 33 commodity, co-operative and educational groups in the province as well as 49 county and district Feder ations of Agriculture. Between 500 and 600 delegates from these 82 or ganizations will meet in the King Ed ward Hotel in Toronto on January 5, 6 and 7 to discuss and formulate Fed eration policy for the coming year. The Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario and the women in the Feder ation will meet on January 4th. The agenda makes provision for a full afternoon’s discussion (January 6) on farm marketing legislation and the meeting will be asked to endorse the Federation’s request for ’pew marketing legislation required by the introduction of the principle of agency marketing. Other resolutions to be discussed in clude requests for; 1) a new provin cial government portfolio to provide for a full-time minister of marketing and co-operation; and (2) greater co ordination between the existing or ganizations so that these organiza tions could more easily join in pro moting specific projects. TV INTERFERENCE WILL BE PROBED An effort to find the cause of in terference with radib and television Sets here will be made by Kincardine Public Utilities Commission, Numerous complaints led the com mission to make this decision arid if the troub]^. is caqsbd by hydro lines or instrillatibfis ah effort will be made to eliminate the defects. The Commission wound up the year with information that it had complete autonomy in the purchase of a dwell ing for the superintendent. The town has proposed sale Of the existing dwelling which it owns. .prophesies, They were many and varied. Only two of them conge to my jnind. The first, “Carriages shall without horses go”, and this looked upon as most ridiculous. But It came true, abundantly. But old lady missed out on, the other one, which was; “The world then to an end shall come In .eighteen hundred and eighty-one". The story has come down to me that at one time Mother Shipton lived in a hut at the end of a lane that jpassed by the wheelright shop of my great grandfather at Witham, Essex Co., England. was the In my day I have travelled far __ wide and have spent Christmas in many places, as well as being privi leged to enjoy the day in my home town of Wingham, Not that I was born here, but no matter where I may have roamed, in my waking hours and in my dreams Wingham has always been uppermost in my mind. Hence it is difficult for me to speak highly enough of the brilliance of the illuminations on our main street and in the matter of the beautifully decorated private homes and public buildings, A visitor to town told me he had seen no other place in the Province looking so beautiful. If you are a student of human nature you would have found much to attract your attention during the few days prior to Christmas in the Post Office. A jostling, jolly crowd- was there. It seemed to make no difference to one’s station in life, word from friends and relatives was anx iously looked for, even if at no other time of the year did some persons expect as much as a Christmas card. One • section of the office in par ticular seemed to be overcrowded. One person was heard to say to an other, “Rather a congested corner”, and the answer came back “yes, it was better the way it was.” Speaking of the post-office it was interesting to watch the manner in which people mailed their stacks of correspondence, even if only Christ mas cards. One person might have some consideration for the postal ■clerk and have them . systematically arranged in order and band them in that way. The next one would pro duce a stack of mail and drop it in the postal slot one at a time, totally unmindful of the fact that the clerk has to gather them up and arrange them in order to cancel the stamps. Has anyone kept his or her eye on the crack in the north end window pane of the lobby? What caused it in the first place? Is the foundation sinking, or is the glass in tlie frame too tight? Anyhow, the crack is growing larger, but slowly. Keep your eye on it and watch it grow. To change the subject to the coming of the end Of the world. Daily paper readers jwill remember the furore made, joy: , a Michigan College teacher, who proclaimed that the end of the world would come on Tuesday of last week. This all reminded me of the religious sect that Wingham was afflicted with away back about the year 1874. The members gathered together one night at a home on Ed ward street, located on the west side, near John street. What a night that misguided brain-twisted crew of men and women put in. They shouted, sang, prayed the whole night through. One woman get out on the roof and shouted her welcome to the Lord. A man went |o Listowel to meet the Saviour coming to town on the 10 p.m. train. But the sun arOse in the morning, daylight 'Spread over the land and seed time and harvest have not ceased. Another freak of the brain of a farmer in the Belmore area caused him to give away his farm and all that was on it to his neigh bor—the world was -coming to an end and he would have no further use for his possessions, Naturally, the question arises, what did he think his neighbor could do about it. * * * Slippery walks around town have caused some severe criticism to fall on the heads of the municipal powers that be. The question arose in many minds, why not apply a little sand. Well, It wasn’t only the wicked that walked on slippery places. Here’s good luck to the town coun cil of 1955, and may Wingham, under the guiding hand of Mayor McKinney land that industry that’s in the Offing. Just thinft> what another hundred families Would mean to the buying of bread; meat, shoes, and best of all, the helping th pay town taxes directly of indirectly.* * ♦ The foretelling of the end of the World reminds one of Mother Shiptori’s HRRY SOUND DISTRICT Ron Ste Marie, former printer with the Advance-Times, and now a school teacher in the Parry Sound district, is in town this week, renewing acquaint ances over the Christmas holidays. Teaching at a school several miles out of Parry Sound, Ron reports that conditions in the north are quite a bit different from the more civilized por tions of the Province, like Wingham. The weather’s colder and the roads are rougher, although the district is ideal for hunters and fishermen. With 34 pupils in a one-room school, Ron finds that it keeps him pretty busy contending with pupils from all eight grades. This is his first school since . taking a teacher’s training course last summer. when Ontario Turnips A Favorite for Holiday Meals At this season of the year holiday menus are being prepared, homemakers will no doubt include Ontario turnips on their shopping lists, the turnip having long been a customary and favorite vegetable to serve with fowl on festive occasions. Not only now but throughout the winter, the high quality and low cost of Ontario turnips or rutabagas make them an appetizing and economical addition to the family’s meals.'Ontario turnips are nutritious, very few vege tables being as high in vitamin C content, particularly if eaten raw in salads, or cooked quickly in a small amount of boiling water. Science has done a great deal in recent years to improve "the quality of Ontario turnips. Varieties have been developed with a milder,, sweeter flavor than formerly and which, .when cooked quickly do not produce a strong odour. FOR FIRE, LIFE & AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Call Stewart A.
