Hay township councillor Leon- ard Grebb, who described the Ontario hog producers 'direction program "unfeasible and uneco- nomical," has joined Theodore Parker in his fight against .com- pulsory marketing.

The committee, was announced at a protest meeting in Stratford Thursday night • attended by a crowd between 500 and 600 dis- gruntled. producers.

What have truckers to lose by this marketing plan? There will be just as many hogs to trans. port and they will have to be taken just as far. Trucking is usually "on a load mile basis so I see little Ioss to the trucker. There will be some saving in transportation in the utilization of larger trucks from assembly point to plant. In this modern age I can see no reason why the farmer should be obliged to use a large number of small trucks if large ones can ,haul cheaper, After all the contractor supplies his men with bulldozers not shovels.

Protest meetings are spring- ing up across the country as Theodore Parker re -opens his attack against compulsory mar, Far from on the run, the provincial marketing board continues to press forward with the program its members have endorsed, Parker let the compulsory program get into operation for three' weeks before launching his new offensive. It began with a protest meeting, .attended by 500 to 600 farmers in Stratford last week. Another i meenwas held # din Arthur this week, Third in Parker's' series will to be held in Hensall Town Hall this Friday s Fr day night. Hay Township Councillor Leonard Grebb, a member of Parker's five -man committee seeking the abolition of the board, is arranging the meeting. OFU Urges New Scheme Ontario Farmer's Union, jump- ing into the hog marketing con- troversy, has' recommended that the producers' co-operative sell, its hogs direct to the packers without the use of assembly yards, N. This proposal was presented by Albert V. Cormack, Arthur,. pre- sident of the Ontario Farmers' Vnion who spoke at the annual meeting of the Huron District of the OFU Thursday night. The Union has argued the mar- keting board to set' up a test case. whereby hogs can be sold and directed straight froln the farmers' stables to the packers. Details of the plan were not outlined. The meeting approved a resolution asking the OFU to notify the Ontario Hog Produc- ers Co -Operative that the union insists on the discontinuance of assembly points "and that 'a sys- tem of 'selling, and directing hogs straight ' from the farmer's stable to buyers, as suggested by a Union brief .to the co-operative board in 's 1956; sh ul d he pron- y. :tired Without delay."
