The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-08-15, Page 8Report from. canners The annual report of Canadian. Canners Limited fpr the year ending May 31, 1974 was released to the shareholders this week. The report shows that the fiscal year of 1974 saw further im- provement in the financial per- formance of Canadian Canners Ltd. and its subsidiaries, The consolidated sales volume was $85,348,000 compared with $73,197,000 in the previous year which is an increase of 16.6 percent. The net earnings were $2,808,000 or $2.00 per share, compared with $2,232,000 or $1.59 per share for the prior year. The return per dollar of sales improved from 3 cents for 1973 to 3.3 cents for 1974. L. H. Johnston, President, reports that during the fiscal year 1974 cost increases and shortages of supplies of various kinds, including raw produce and long delivery schedules placed considerable strain on operating performance. However, the combination of selling price increases and the increased sales movement of Aylmer and Del Montre products provided the improvement in earnings. Johnston reported that the return on shareholders' equity has improved from 7 percent to 8.2 percent, and that to meet capital fund requirements the growth in earnings must be sustained and the return on shareholders' equity be further improved. On August 1, Del Montre Corporation announced a cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding Class A common shares of Carfadian Canners Limited at the price of $12.00 per share. Say farmers are dejected Canadian dairy farmers are probably the first recipients of broken, deceitful federal election promiseg, according to Andrew Kittmer of LakeSide, Ontario. Mr. Kittmer, president of Local 341, National Farmers' Union, was referring to the an- nouncement of Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan in- creasing the returns to milk producers by only 91 cents per cwt. He said farmers have every reason to feel dejected by Mr. Whelan's announcement, because it is "pretty small potatoes" compared to the $1.50 per cwt. they were led to believe would be available before the election. Before the election, Mr. Kitt- mer said, a group of Cabinet Ministers said a re-elected Liberal government would move immediately to "raise industrial milk prices high enough to offset increases in production costs," "To give farmers cost of production plus a return on his labour," Mr. Kittmer claims, "the price would have to be raised by $5.90 per cwt., and now they dribble out 91 cents." He said he has figures to show the cost of producing 100 pounds of milk is $14.40 per cwt., and neither Mr, Whelan nor the Canadian Dairy Commission disputed those figures when they were recently presented to them. He said it is not more than five, weeks ago that Mr. Whelan stated we may have milk rationing within five years if farmers are not paid a decent wage. "The federal government is steering us in that direction because I predict dairy farmers will continue to quit the business because of the lack of sufficient returns," Mr. Kittmer con- tended. He said Canada may be moving to a similar position as in 1968 when the governments stood by and let Canada & Dominion Sugar Company close out a sugar beet industry in Ontario, and in fact paid off sugar beet producers with federal funds. Since then the price of sugar to the consumer has risen from 9 cents to 40 cents per pound. LUMBER AND BUILDING SUPPLIES Pctge 8 Times-Advocate, August 15, 1974 n all 111111111111111!

T-A photo At many functions Notes from pork hostess used on menus for diets. As can be concluded from these statements, the general public needs an updated education on the new lean pork available on todays market. My experiences as Ontario Pork Hostess do not cease when I remove my banner and tiara. When my friends and acquan- tances discover my title I am often the subject of good natured fun and jest. Since November I have acquired a pig collection that includes toy pigs, pig or- naments, posters, stickers and pins that discuss the topic of pork in some way or form. This collection has been donated to me by my good friends. They also jest me with different jokes and nicknames. This, as well as the peoples first reaction when they hear my title, is part of the fun of being the first Ontario Pork Hostess. Although these young people jest about my title they are very interested in nutrition as a whole and the part that pork can play in their menus. Young or old, weight watchers, housewives, gourmets cooks, they are all genuinely interested in pork and in the way it can be incorporated into their daily diet or as a special treat for a holiday feStiVity. Through my experiences as Ontario Pork Hostess I am learning many valuable lessons. Although my knowledge about pork cookery and pork produc- tion has increased I do not con- sider this to be the .most im- portant aspect of my reign. Meeting people in different situations is something I really enjoy and value. Through the respect and interest that is shown to me as a pork hostess I am gaining a self confidence that will be valuable to me in future years, I am looking forward to my last four months as Ontario Pork Hostess since I'm already invited to participate in a number of events. I hope that the person that succeeds me enjoys her reign as much as I do and that she gains as much personal satisfaction representing the Pork Producers of Ontario." By ADRIAN VOS With the Pork Hostess contest coming up I think it fitting to copy a report from the first Ontario Pork Hostess, Miss Adrienne Van Raay of Huron county. "My reign as the first Miss Ontario Pork Hostess began eight months ago at the Royal Winter Fair. I am enjoying every minute of it and it is indeed a most unique and rewarding experience. As a representative for the Pork Producers of Ontario I attend many events. The Canadian Restaurant Show, Ontario Pork Producers Annual Meeting, T.V. appearances, seminars, meetings and fairs are a few of the highlights of the past few months. Each event is different and thus I have the opportunity of meeting a wide variety of people such as newspaper men, T.V. per- sonalities, home economists and business men. At the events where pork is featured I perform a wide range of functions. As a hostess I at- tempt to make people feel welcome by greeting them and discussing informally my role and my knowledge of pork cookery. I also play a more formal role by delivering speeches or assisting Kay Spicer, the home economist and Arthur Buck, a Specialist in meat cut- ting, in demonstrations. My experiences as Ontario Pork Hostess are not all serious. Some of the comments and questions people express are indeed very humorous. A typical statement is, "you'll get a disease if you eat uncooked pork," or "pork must he cooked well to kill the germs", Some people ask if "ham is from a pig" or "how do you get the fat strips in the bacon and why don't you put more meat in the slices". Ladies from weight watchers want to know why pork is not Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd.
