moment- It was mailed December 30 and received to -day so
I trust the . ticket supply has not been exhausted.
I do hope, of course, that we see youand many others in

Best of success to the c?mmittee-
Sincerely,.

Dear Maudie-1,
I was very pleased to receive your letter - strange as that.
may seem since it required a donation in reply.
But having attended the Lucknow reunion in 1910 (so I am
told) and having enjoyed thoroughly the Centennial in 19581
am looting forward with pleasure to being present at your
Jamboree in 83-
' For those of us who have lived in other places for few or
many years, such occasions provide us the wonderful
opportunity of seeing again the many former associates and
friends. who will gather for this purpose.
We are the ones who will enjoy the occasion the most and
we are indebted to your committee and the whole town for
making it, possible.
Please express to. your members mythanks and best,
wishes for their success.
With kind personal regards to yourself.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew M. Thompson..
Farmerfavo urs marketing
system for beefproducers
To the' Editor:
Your editorial "Not an Easy Choice" froip
the Wingham :Advance -Times, states that
Several beef farmers believe that they must
choose between having an adequate income
through .using a marketing board, and
having freedom. . .
To put this into perspective, it . must be
recognised that most people in our , ociety
have opted for collective bargaining of one
kind or another, whether: they be doctors,
tr desmeri, 'nurse, labourers - the list goes
on and , on: Even University . professors of
economics, who are forever advising rugged
individIualism for farmers, choose collective
bargaining where they themselves are
concerned.
These people did not opt for collective
bargaining in order to haveless freedom.
Their objective, in fact, was to have more of
the freedom that adequate financial' income
ensures. • • ,
, To suggest that freedom in thered meat
industry consists entirely of the right to
produce much or little product, with a
complete, disregard for an available market,
is nonsense. Surely a reasonable financial
return to the producer would also contribute
to his over all freedom. Does anyone
seriously suggest that dairy farmers in Bruce
and Huron counties are less freethan red
meat producers? How free is someone who is
being forced out of business?
In the past, the opponents of marketing
boards and supply • management no longer
'has any credibility. It, isobvious to the most
obtuse that they do work. Thecurrent
argument is that it will take tool long to put
marketing boards and supply ' management
in plaice. W.e must have , instant ' solutions.
In .the final analysis. farmers have two
choices. They, canset up a rational
marketing systemthat will provide the
market place With an adequate supply of red
meat at reasonable prices, as has been done
with milk, :chicken, tobacco, etc. This
approach requires hard work and intelli-
gence. .
The other approach is much easier. They,
. continue as in the ppast. Red meat is'
produced without anyregard for available
market. Consequently. the price will be
below the cost of production much of the
time: They then go to Government - cap
inhand - demanding welfare in the form of '
subsidy 'payments. And that's what they will.
continue to „get - welfare.
