Wise, that he will give the provinces
and the hog industry his full support
and will make sure Canada's side of
this controversy is clearly presented at
the next stage of this ongoing inquiry.
The board of the ITC has now re-
ferred the matter to the U.S. Com-
merce Department which will decide
whether Canadian hog exports are
subsidized by the Canadian govern-
ment contrary to the General Agree-
ment on Trades and Tariffs GATT.
It's still much too soon to fortell
the final effects of this case and their
ramifications on the pork industry
but one thing is obvious — Canada
pork producers are concerned. n
SING -SWING WINNERS
The Bruce County Junior Farmer
choir was just one of several Zone
Seven entrants that walked away with
top honours at the provincial Junior
Farmer talent competition, Swing
Swing. The annual event, held recent-
ly in Windsor, attracted singers,
dancers, piano players, and even a
few whistlers from across the pro-
vince. A Bruce County folk group,
Just Plain Folk, won vocal group
with accompaniment, while the
Huron County Junior Farmer barber -
shoppers won top vocal group
without accompaniment. Michelle
Timko, Huron County, was named
best old-time square dance caller,
while Perth County won the step -
dance competition.
George Barnett, Grey County, was
named best male vocal soloist, while
Kim MacTaggert, also of Grey Coun-
ty, was winner of the piano recital
competition.
Where's the site?
"Where's the site?" is the most
commonly asked question of Doug
Aitchison, who is local chairman of
the International Plowing Match to
be held in Perth County in 1988. Ait-
chison says he has no answer to this
question yet and doesn't expect one
until the annual OPA convention in
February. Speaking at the annual
meeting of the Perth Plowmen recent-
ly in Stratford, Aitchison said several
sites are still under review by OPA.
However, Aitchison says he expects
the host farmer will know who is
chosen in time to plan his 1985 cropp-
ing with the future match in mind.
Co-chairmen for the 1988 IPM
Perth Committee are Lloyd Morrison
and Ellerd Lange. Other members
are: Alan Scott, OMAF Agricultural
Representative, and Albert Carson,
OPA director. John McKay is the ac-
ting recording secretary of the event.
