Manager Charlie Crossett and Coaches Mike Carmichael and. Vic Laugh..
lean of the Wingham Softball Club are off to the Excited States to,-day on a
buying trip t9 look over the new 1952 models in pitchers and catchers. We
understand thht this year the latest model pitchers have a spare aria in case
the old one develops a. kink. All catchers must be qualified radiol'operators
as all signals to the pitcher will be put over the air waves. This; has been
done in the best interests of the catchers who will need lots of warning when
guys like Charlie Justice etc., are going to hurl a fastone..'J'
According to rumour, Charlie Ciossett will bring back the King and His
Court for Wingham. That should pack them in at Lucknow and discourage
Charlie Justice a bit.
What we really need here is a pitcher with enough on the ball to catch
his own pitching. This would mean quite a saving in dollars and perhaps
then we could afford to import a fielder who could cover the whole field by
himself. He'd have to be a bit of a sprinter,

come waterborne at Victoria, B.C.
The first to be launched of three
minesweepers now under construc-

Aluminum is extensively used in

and marks a new departure in naval
ship construction. Immediately after
the launching, the keel was laid for
the second minesweeper to be built
at Victoria while the third sweeper a is undergoing construction at

hospital visiting, in Oriental work, in

missionaries.

BRUCE COUNTY FEDERATION
OF AGRICULTURE
The'Poultry vote being completed in
Ontario and the farmers expressing
their views as not being in favour of
the idea to market the surplus ,atten-
tion can now be centred around other
problems. The total number of votes
cast in Ontario was about 15000.
Bruce County cast 1114 votes, 675 in
favour of handling the surplus and
433 opposed. On the second question
of poultry meat marketing, 630 in
favour and 397 opposed. Bruce did
exceptionally well in comparison to
other counties. In some counties no In-
terest was shown either in favour or
opposed. In order to satisfy the min-
ister of agriculture, two thirds of
those who voted had to be in favour,
BiPuce County almost had that major-
ity in the egg plan. Had 33 people who
had voted against it, voted for it, we
would have had the desired percent-
age. However it is not the intention of
the Federation of Agriculture to pro-
ceed with a plan the mroducers are
not prepared to support financially
and morally. The future years will
determine whether the plan was nec-
essary or not; if the egg price reaches
an unfavourable level for producers,
there is little or nothing' the federa-
tion can do to influence the govern-
ment to support the price at a reason-
able level, Producers have now thrown
the entire responsibility of handling
the egg into the large handler and
the government.
Meat marketing in Canada has be-
come a major problem. Our export
markets have been cut off at a time
when our pork production is extreme-
ly high, Our beef production is higher
than former years. Dairy products are
reaching the surplus stage and with-
the embargo against our cattle, sev-
eral thousand more dairy cows will
be producing in Canada that would
have been normally sold in the U. S.
The floor price for beef is not a
concrete arrangement and is very
flexible. It is extremely difficult to
maintain a floor price on a live weight
basis. There is ample room for any
buyer to sway the price a dollar or
two, The aim of the government is
to prevent the price from reaching too
wide a margin between the Canadian
price and the Chicago market. The
price will be reviewed from month to
month with that aim in mind, Good
steers on the Chicago market on April
19 brought $31.50 weighing between
900 and 1100 lbs. In order to make it
profitable for the American buyers to
come on the Canadian market now,
since the Canadian and American
dollar are at par, the small duty and
other details, Canadian cattle must be
bough
pound.for
five and a half cents lees a
It will be of intertst for farmers to
know that there was almost one mil-
lion lbs, less beef in void storage in
Canada on first of April We year as
compared to one year ago and -1 mil-
lion lees than the average of the past
five years. In pork there were ten
million snore pounds in storage on the
first of April compared to one year
ago and' five and a half million snore
than the average over the lust live
years.
