officials of the local brigade fol-

group meeting in Seaforth Tues-
day night,
"lt looks like a good idea to
me," reported Chief Irwin Ford.
"If it goes through, we'll know
exactly where we stand in regard
to giving help 'to .Other munici-
palities. We will also know that
we can get plenty of help from
other brigades if we ever have
a serious fire here."
Representatives from 13 muni-
cipalities in Huron heard the
plan outlined' by William A'nder-
son' and J. Turnbull of the On-
tario Fire Marshall's office.
Basically, it means that muni-
cipal fire departments can help
one, another ig the ev•ent of a
major blaze and their home mu-
nicipalities will remain protected
when they are out of town.
Fire Chief Ford explained, for
an exaniple, that it Exeter bri-
gade went to help Hensall, the
Dashwood brigade would then be
responsible for an outbreak in
Exeter
The mutual aid program must
be organized on the municipal,
level, Each • municipality must

which attracted over 400 dogs
from Canada; the United. States
and England; best Canadian-
bred in the 'show and best
Canadian bred puppy in the
Show.
The bitch also'won awards for
being, bestin the working group
and best in its class.
Mrs. Meta Loveridge, an of-
ficial of the Canadian Kennel
Club, told the Times -Advocate
that it was, only the second time
in her long experience with dog
shows that she had seen such a
feat performed by a puppy. '"I
have attended the top shows in
Canada, United States and Eng-
land for many years and I can
recall such a thing happening
only once before."
Equally unusual was that the
honors Were won by a novice
breeder with her first , litter.
Althqugh Mrs. England has been
interested in dogs all her life,
this is the first time she has
ever bred for show,
"This is very rare although it
has happened before," comment-
ed Mrs, Loveridge. "Some breed-
ers spend a lifetime and thou-
sands of dollars trying to pro-
duce a champion dog and they
never succeed,"
Although she now is taking the
win in her stride, Mrs. England
admitted she was momentarily
stunned when the dog won the
best of show award, "They came'.
up to congratulate me," she
said, "and I eouldn't say a
thing. It's the ;first time in my
life I've been speechless," ,
Mrs. England and Roxie were
honored by being presented to
10,000 Americans on the Dave
Garrotway TV show which orig-
inated from the Cilt Thursday.
"Kaukauna's Aldebaran"' won
her championship papers at the
Guelph show on August 10 at 10
months of age, another unusual
feat. The bitch now has 17
points', seven more than she
needs to qualify 55 ,a champion,

Ready To Prosecute
State Board Officiats
Beginning this Monday, Sep-
tember 16, producers in Huron
County will be required to mar-
ket their hogs at assembly
points operated by the Ontario
Hog Producers Co-operatives, ac-
cording to an order issued by
the co-op at its annual meeting
in Toronto Tuesday .afternoon.
The order, which affects pro-
ducers in six other counties be-
sides Huron, was filed under the
regulations. of the Ontario Farm
Products Marketing Act and the
Agricultural Products Marketing
Act.
It directs that all hogs pro-
duced in the counties of Huron,
Bruce, Grey, Wellington, Duf-
ferin,, Peel and Halton are tote
transported and assembled at
any of the 11 assembly points of
the co-operative of the Toronto
stock yards, Co-op ,yards in this
area are located at' Kitchener,
Stratford and London.
Another order announced under
the regulations requires shippers
of hogs in Ontario to register
their names, 'addresses and oc-
cupations with the Ontario Hog
Producers Marketing Board.
The orders apparently repre-
sent a "do or die" effort on the
part of the co-op which has been
battling packers, trucker's, pro-
ducer-opponentsand legislators
for three years to get its open
market organization •into. effect.
The action is taken in the face
of threats of another province -
wide vote which has been ru-
moured for sever a 1 years,

hopes to show producers that its
• program, will work if they give
it a chance.
Huron Federation of Agricul-
ture Fieldman Carl Hemingway,
who attended the annual meet-
ing, says co-op officials .expect
to lay charges against producer,
or truckers who fail to ,comply
with the order..
"If a producer ships direct t0
a packing plant instead of to ..a
co-op ,assembly yard after Sep-
tember 16,. he will be breaking
the law," Mr. Hemingway said,
"We expect to have . opposition.
to the orders and we expect to
prosecute."
Mr. Hemingway said he •per,,
serially thinks this bold step "is
what farmers have been waiting
r 11
"Huron farmers," he said,
"have voted for the open mar-
ket campaign on three or four
occasions and they have 'been
waiting for some action to get
behind it."
He admitted they have beet
shipping direct to packing plants
but he believes they have just
been taking advantage of the
"bonuses" .offered by packers
until the co-op got ready to put
its program into action.
He indicated Huron producers
have experienced enough of
packers' "under-the-table" pay-
ments to realize ` the direct
marketing was unfair. Some pro-
ducers have been paid extra
bonuses for sending their hogs
direct to the plants while others
have received free transporta-
tion for their pigs because
packers have been paying:ship-
pers to bring them to their
plants.
President of the Ontario co-
o Charles Iles McInnis, warned
prodiicerrs at the annual meet-
ingTuesday T esday to prepare for :it
vote on the tog,, ,marketing
scheme.
He said packers and proces-
sors 'would ask for such a vote
in the hope of getting rid of the
present system, which 'has,. been
extending sales on the open bid.
system throughout the province.
In his speech, Mr. • Mcinnis
lashed out at packinghouses and;
appealed to producers to be
ready to defend their marketing
program. Therewere reports,
he said, that bribes of $2 to $3
per . hog had been offered to
transporters to move pigs direct
to processors rather than to the
co-operatives assembly yards.
Letters had been sent to farm-
ers offering $2 per hog extra
for direct delivery to packing-
houses.
"I' have been advised," he
said, "that some processors are
now offering a bribe if trans-
porters will take meat direct to
the plant on the condition that
they take their hogs direct to
the plant also."
Mr. Mclnnis quoted theate
J. S. McLean, who had said that
