This week many of our ladies'
organizations will get back to
work ,_ Church groups and
Women's Institutes across the
area, will be planning another
year of activity—and I'd like to
help wherever I can.
It should be explained,
however, that this column is
designed to cover unusual events
and interesting details of
concern to women.
Unfortunately, it cannot be used
to advertise church suppers,
bazaars and similar •money
making affairs.
I hope women throughout
the district will get in touch with
me if they are sponsoring a
community service—such as the
baby sitting service to be
initiated in Hensall. (I'd like to
know more about that.)
A quest for used clothing
would be acknowledged or
drives for various articles to be
part of a donation to some
worthy cause or other.
Any new gimmicks for
stimulating and maintaining
interest at regular meetings
would be appreciated as well,
Some other club may benefit
from what you have learned;
. your favorite organization may
be helped by another's
experience.
Now that the children are
back in school, mother may lose
her head occasionally and take a
whole afternoon off to go
shopping or visiting.
Supper will be fast and tasty
if mom takes time to prepare
some hotdogs before she leaves
home in the morning.
For a dozen do-ahead dogs,
combine one cup chili sauce,
two tablespoons brown sugar,
one tablespoon vinegar, and one
teaspoon each of dried onion
flakes, dry mustard and
Worcestershire sauce; simmer for
a few minutes.
Then, spread sauce on 12
wiener rolls, add the wieners and
sprinkle generously with
shredded Canadian Cheddar
cheese. Wrap individually, or in
pairs, in aluminum foil.
Refrigerate until needed.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for
about 15 minutes.
Served with a salad, these
dogs will= satisfy •even. the
hungriest member of the family.

drastic Measures, to bolster the
industry.
It received, in return,.
ProPPsa4 for both long and
short-range answers to the corn
industrY problems ranging frond,
establishment of a federal grain
commission to provision of lake
shipping in this area to reduce
cost Of tzansPorting Ont0rio
corn to eastern markets,
Eugene Whelan, MP
(L-Essex) said only a national
grain commission empowered to
allow import of corn into
Canada only by permit at a
reasonable price can meet the
chronic problems faced by
Ontario's 35,000 commercial
corn growers.
Mr. Whelan said Canada's
agriculture minister, H. A.
Olson, is concerned because
several groups seem to be
speaking for the corn industry
and asking for different things.
An additional problem comes
from the difficulty of
determining how large a segment
of the industry each—including
the commercial corn growers'
association—represents, the
Essex MP said.
George Morris of Merlin, one
of the association directors, said
other farm commodity groups
do not have a single spokesman
and it should not be expected of
the corn industry.
Jack Spence, MPP (L—Kent)
agreed the corn industry is in
very serious condition when
future prices are quoted at $1.04
per bushel. He said the
committee's brief should go to
Ontario Agriculture Minister
William Stewart along with a
•report of the Chatham meeting.
Lorne Henderson, MPP
(PC—Lambton) said the Ontario
farm income committee is
expected to report within a few
months, and its findings could
have a bearing on the corn
industry.
Area MPs and MPPs agreed
that some form of cash advance
to corn growers in the fall on
their crop could encourage them
to store corn and stop dumping
it on the market.
The association brief
advocated establishment of an
The hrier urged a federal
investigation of transportation
and storage facilities to improve
and lower their cost, Association
members said corn can now be
shipped from Maumee, Ohio, to
Montreal, for seven cents a
bushel, while it costs 21, cents a
bushel to ship it from Chatham
to Montreal.
A ettidy of Prodoetion costs
and of the possibility of
establishing a Canadian corn
exchange and corn grain supply
bank was also urged.
The brief predicted
190,000,090,bushel corn crop
by 1970, and pointed out
production increased by more
than 100 rw. cent between
1955-56 and 1905-66, but
domestic consumption increased
from 37,000,000 to 84,500,000
bushels in the same Period.
Fork hay
from mow
Quick action by Exeter
firemen and neighbors saved the
barn of Jim Prout when chopped
hay started smouldering Monday
morning.
Firemen were called to the
barn, about two miles south of
Exeter on Highway 4, around
8:00 a.m. after Prout had
extinguished a fire on a beam:
The Usborne farmer then
ripped off siding on the barn and
neighboring farmers started to
arrive with forks to start tossing
the smouldering hay out of the,
loft.
Over a dozen men sweated it
out in the mow while firemen
dampened the hay as it was
uncovered from the smouldering
pile.
The one hay mow was finally
cleared about two hours later.
The floor was charred, but there
was little other damage.
A fire truck from the
Centralia Industrial Park was
also dispatched to the scene
when the Exeter brigade decided
more water supply may be
needed than what was on their
own truck.
