Another big step was taken on Monday in the efforts to determine a province-wide plan of sales for hog prochicers.

The voting, which opened at p.m., was preceded by a. nomina- tion period in the forenoon, during which 38 named were proposed for the 19 committee posts. Each nominee was given two minutes to declare his stand in the contro- versial ho marketing plan, Opinion appeared to be evenly divided, 19 of the nominees voic- ing their intention to support the "compulsory" hog marketing sys= tern which is currently in force, and the remaining 19 favoring a "free enterprise" system, which. would permit producers to sell through truckers. Agriculture Minister Goodfellow announced last week that the pro- ducers' board- and the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board had agreed• on a new method of selling hogs through a teletype operation linking the offices of processors with a master control unit in the office of the hog pro- ducers.

The vote in most, counties Was heavy, despite the fact that the hog producers had to drive long dis- tances in many instances to the single county polling places. How- ever, "in Waterloo County, which elects the same number of com- mitteemen as Huron, only 145 turn- ed out to vote. WHAT A BORE!
