Letters to the editor are much more infrequent than they used to be, even in the big city dailies. But it is in the field of writing love letters that our voting swains have failed the worst and how sad that is. THIS WON'T HELP COST OF LIVING The Financial Post, Oct. 13, 1951. LETTER WRITING.

Charles McInnis of Iroquois, the President of the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers Association addressed the meeting, and he answered questions having to do with this proposed plan He pointed out that in the past year, or at least since the first of January, 1951, Hog prices in Ontario have fluct- uated 11 cents a pound, compared with a three cent a pound fluctuation in the United States in the same per- iod. Mr. McInnis offered the market- ing agency as the answer to the stab- ilization of hog prices, and the meet- ing passed unanimously a resolution approving this plan. A second resolu- tion suggested that the Hog Produc- ers of Ontario deduct 5c a hog at the marketing outlet for Association funds, instead of the present 2c de- duction. This wal„ also approved un- animously,. • L.'

THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA, Regarding Ideas, we may truthfully say of them, that they are born, not made. At the birth of an Idea cer- tain atomic changes take place in the tissues of the brain. The brain then becomes a nursery, and sooner or later must relieve itself of its load because of a necessity which it is un- able to resist. This idea thing, reliev- ed from its moorings, is usually a pleasant thing to contemplate. Oc- casionally however it is either fan- tastic or even horrible. It is always perplexing, and that is its salvation. Thought concerning it cannot be popped off, but must have full flow. It must be continued and perpetuat- ed. The first thought concerning a new idea generally is, and indeed must inevitably he "why has its gen- eration been so long delayed" "why did it not come sooner". Of course there is no sufficing answer to that query and pursuit of it will never get us anywhere. So, with both hands I leave it alone. The particular idea to which I am going to refer now was birthed in the colossal brain of Liberal Leader Walter Thompson a few months ago and he has made a free gift of it to the Liberal party, and to the world at large, hoping that both recipients will duly appreciate its vast import- ance and tremendous worth, Un- fortunately for Mr. Thompson how- ever though the idea was new to him, it had generated in other brains long before its conception in his; and more unfortunately still in brains that he had been accustomed to.dis- like and despise, this however is a small matter and Mr. Thompson is quite able and really ready and eager to ride roughshod over its implica- tions even if they are unworthy of his august consideration. I have been referring to Mr. Thompson's idea of a prepaid Hos- pitalization plan which Mr. Thomp- son is now so sedulously fomenting, although for years he has given such a scheme both of his very frigid shoulders the urge, or the wink, to condemns such a scheme has been ad- vocated by the C.C.F, party for years. Such a Scheme has been in operation In the only province under C.C.F. rule in for the past seven years. I ask Mr. Thompson to be fair; bestow Jas. G. Webster charge. i Citil 276J, Wingham ii i,4r.
