Wind, following the path of the gorge, folds the branches of the trees away from the river, giving the ocld leaning effect shown here. —CPC FA Seeks Resolutions To improve Road Safet "Because our rural areas are the scene of. over three-quarters of Ontario's highway accident deaths, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and its 600.000 farmer -members have decided to take more active interest in this problem," Gordon Greer, presi- dent of the Federatioi, an- nounced this week. "As a first step in this year's program of highway safety, we are declaring February 24 to 8 es Rural Safe Driving Week, and a majority of our 42 county Fed- erations and affiliate organiza- tions are launching programs centred around this week," Mr. Greer said. "The high -point of Rural Safe Driving Week will be the rally night Meeting in Puh of our counties on February 24. There will be safety films, speakers from the Ontario Provincial Police, and -prizes . awarded to farm forum essay winners, ,and school public speaking and es- say winners. It is expected that many of these safe driving ral- lies will pass resolutions which win he forwarded to the Ontario Federation of Agricuture for presentation to the Provincial Government." "The driver has become the target for all criticism and blame for our Web traffic toll -910 fa- talities in 1956 in Ontario alone," the 0.F.A, president said. "But," he eontinued, "present research studies have shown Forum Topic School Cost "tducation — Who Should • Pay?" was the subject for dis- cussion on National Farm Radio F0111311 Monday night.

But we still have a long way to go to make our present models as safe as they should be. Mr. Greer continued. "At meet- ings of Ontario Farm Forums held during January and Feb- ruary in the counties and at the rally nights of February 24, the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture is hoping to create a greater public awareness of the import- ance of safety design in the mo- dern motor vehicle. We believe' in the not too distant future that the public will ask for and get motor vehicles which will .offer maximum crash protection. But we must start to create that de- mand now." Perth Hog Producers Ask Chance For. Plan Perth hog producers put them- selves owe record Thursday as wanting a vote on the hog mar- keting co-operative to be post- poned at least until the autumn of this year. The annual :meeting of the Perth H.og Producers' Associa- tion, held in the Milverton Com- munity Centre auditorium, ap- proved a resolution asking that the vote be postponed until the new direction ' scheme, 110V§r 10 effect, has had at least ono yeac's .test, The scheme came into effect, said Charles McGin- nis, president of the Ontario Hog Producers, in mid-September of 1957, Me were few dissenting voices raised against the pro- posal, sponsored by Harold Koch and Jackson Henderson of 'Wal- lace township, to ask for a one- year trial period before the vote of hog producers is taken to determine the fate of the co- operative marketing plan. Donald McTavish, North Easthope said he believed it would be better to have the vote as soon as pos- sible, "There is some. discon- tent," he said, "and there is a tot of interest being taken in it. think now is the right time to take a vote." Mr. McGinnis observed that he thought it unlikely that the Gov- ernment would plan any vote to be taken before the Dominion general election campaign ends, March 31. New President I. John 13arnett, R.R. 1 St. Marys, was elected president for 1958, succeeding Murray Chris- tie, Cromarty, who completed his term of office by presiding at j Thursday's annual meeting. Frank Sehragner, R.R. 1 Se- ' bringville, is the new first: vice- ' president, and Earl Koch, .Wal- lace, is second vice-president. Fraser • Gibb, R.R. 3 Stratford, continues in office as secretary - treasurer. Resolutions passed by the an- nual meeting included one to ask that the floor price pn hogs be no higher than $26, and an- other asking the directors to_in- vestigate the possibility of estab- lishing a co operative. m.eats, . processing plant in the Stratford area. Sponsors of the resolution ad- vocating a floor price not higher *than $26 took the stand that a floor price that is set too high will lead to surpluses, and a de- prossing effect on the market. Ross McTavish, North Easthope, spoke from the floor during dis- cussion of the resolution, to say that' he would prefer to sce no floor price, and marketing with- out artificial props. Asked from the floor whether the Ontario Hog Producers have any plan to establish a process- ing plant, Mr. McGinnis, the principal speaker at the meeting, said that a marketing agency can not properly enter the pro- cessing businesg, "If any group of producers want to set up a co-operative packing plant," he said, "that is their privilege."

This area might find itself the battleground for aerial war- fare between United States and Russia in the: event of a third world war, it was suggested Thursday night by R. T.

This was one of he reasons why civil defence is important to this district:, Mr. Gavin said, even though it is not considered a target area, . Another reason, he eited- was that the aeca. must be prepared to shelter and feed thousands of people from Essex and Kent counties if Windsor, which has been designated a target area, was attacked. People in a wide area sur- rounding the border city • would have to evacuate north in order to escape the radioactive fallout created by atomic and hydrogen bomb explosions. 11 the residents of iluron and Bruce counties were organized to receive evacuees .in orderly fashion, it would help to prevent panic and demoralization among the civilian population, the speaker satd. This was impel. - tent because military strategists conside,r a war is half won . if the civilian population of the enemy country has a defeatist attitude.

Municipal govern- ments could provide grants up to five cents per capital. This would be inatched by the pro- vincial, government and a sum equal to twice that amount would be provided by the federal gov- ernment.

No action was taken at the meeting, how• ever. Mayor R. E. Pooley, who thenited the speaker, said coun- cil had considered civii defence on several occasions but it felt that the initiative for organiza- tion should come from county council. "We know we can do something about civil defence in Exeter but we felt it could be done better if it worked through county council rather than on an individual municipa- lity basis," said the mayor. Mr. Gavin was introduced by Elmer D.

Arbitration hearing will be Reid soon—perhaps next week— to settle the price for calming corn following failure of grow- ers and packers to reach agree. Client in Hamilton last week. Negotiators of the canning companies demanded what a. mounted to a 57.00 per ton cut in price from last year's levels while grower representatives stuck to their request for re- turns equal to 1957. The dispute Automatically went to arbitration for settlement Monday after the groups Jailed to get together on a price bY the deadline, February 15. Price for canning corn has been established at $26 a ton, the sante as last year, it was an- nounced this week by Clarence W. Down, R.R. 1 Hensall, dis- trict director of the Ontario Vege- table Growers' Marketing Board. Harvesting and hauling char- ges remain at a maximum of $5.56 a ton, Mr. Down, who was a member of the pea negotiating commit- tee, said the companies' offer was $5.00 less per ton right down the scale of payments based on tencierometer readings., Last year, prices ranged from 584 to 5150 a ton depending on the qua- lity and size of the peas. In addition, the companies de- manded $15.00 a ton for harvest- ing the peas. $2.00 more than was charged last year. With the lower price, this would reduce growers' returns by $7.00 a ton. Mr: Down said the processors argued they had a large quan- tity of canned peas on hand and that they lost money last year because they received too many poor peas because of the *unfa- vorable weather conditions. Growers replied that the ac- reage under contract could be reduced in order to prevent a surplus but they should still re- ceive the same price for the crop, They noted that the 87.00 a ton difference in price repre- sented only one-quarter of a cent per can on the cost of pro- duction. We felt we had no right to accept anything less than last year's price," Mr. Down said, New regulations of the mar- ketin0 board require that prices, for earn, peas and ternatoes mist be agree upon byFebruary IS or the settlement is referred to arbitration. i Negotiations Qa prices of beans and cabbage will be held next week, Mr, Down said.
