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.

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
