GROWING UP Ontario is entering a nein phase of development as it approaches full econOtlhic maturity, reports the Com- mercial letter of the Canadian 'Im- perial Bank of Commerce. Growing pains are bound to accompany the new pattern of the.province's growth as secondary and tertiary industries .1111 111 importance. . "lf, however, the change is reco;;- ilrzed for what 1t is, namely, a step forward ill the tran,itu7n toward ('COIlOilliC maturity, it can be dealt :with less in terms of a problem to 1)e solved than a challenge to be meet." The Commercial Letter gives a cornprchensi\ e summary of the de- velopment, present status and future prospects of the Ontarioeconomy. Referring ' to Ontario as "in many re- spects the most richly end OWe(I (11' the (Canadian provinces," it reviews the heritage of physical resources and physiography, the gradual shift in population to 11rhan centres, the sl111staliti tl and ('ontintting colltribtt- si10n of nti'ict11ttire, forests and mines, and '''the rapid growth and dt"• ersity of 1h7annfacturing and service indt1Sl'ries.

I read about it in a letter received the other day from the air force branch of the Prisoner of War Association. Some of the boys, with their wives, are chartering a plane to take them to the United Kinglom, where they will visit old haunts. Former prisoners of the Ger- mans Call themselves "Icriegies", TC is an abbreviation of the German word "krielgefangenen" ---or some- thing of the sort. It'll be a lively jaunt. There is to be a well -stocked bar aboard.. can visualize the an tics when some of those old kilo gies get into the grape. . 0-0-0 At one end of the aircraft, the singers will be serenading O'Riley's Daughter and other ladies of that ilk. In the galley, somebody will he mixing up a kriegie cake: pul- verized biscuits, powdered milk, narg, and prunes, There was never a cake recipe to heat 'that one for sheer weight.- 12 pounds to the sq. foot. You can have your Duncan Hines mix. Some other character will be set- ting etting out a batch of pure, unadulter- ated kriegie brew. It's made from potatoes, turnips, prunes or any.. thing else that will ferment. One hooker of that stuff, and an angel can. turn in his wings. He doesn't need them any more. Elsewhere in the aircraft, some old-timer will he hammering away at empty powdered ,utile tins, turn- ing them into cups, plates, ,leweh•y and, higlry>owere(1 machinery. But I doubt if the expedition will ever make it to the U.K. Some aerie_ gi.e, who cut his way through a six-inch concrete wall with 8 nail file 20 years ago, and was on the loose for three clays before he was caught, will insist on demonstrat- ing how he did it. And when the whole bottom falls out of the air. craft, the others will have to agree that he hasn't lost his touch. u -n-0 )!;very old kriegie is larcenous at heart, and the pilot. of that aircraft is going to have his hands full convincing- them that he hasn't room on the return trip for a few things they picked up in England, such as the Tower of London, Princess Margaret, I31g lien, and the entire saloon bar of The Crate )Hangs I-Iigh or the Dirty Duck. ']'.here's to he a grand reunion party in London, with. former RAF kriegies. That'll be a good one. I wonder if wee Jock will he there, with his Inverness tongue that could peel your hide? Will :PadcIY B. make it; and if he does, will he get drunk and want to fight every- body? I wonder if Dave will show up and infuriate one and all with his calm English view that: It's time somebody "took those colon. ials in hand,', meaning us? n -0-o Trouble is, I see them, and many like them, as they were then, Wee Jock with his nohhly, schoolboy face. Paddy as strong as at hull a bt Slim blond and nicka rh t hu q as Dave, with his casual manner, lean face, huge mustache.

In retrospect, the life in prison camp has a great attraction for old kriegies. The reason, of course, is because it was completely free of cornplicattOns.

Looking bac(( from the welter of payments and problems and child- ren and wives in which they are 1today firmly mot's -wed, it is little wonder that old kriegies heave a sigh of nostalgia ^for the simple, ordered existence' of the camp. Even though they'd have sold their own grandmothers into slavery to get out of the place while they were there. OX BBOX 390 February 23, 1962. Dear Editor: During the year 1962 farmers are going 'to take a good look at Pro- ducer controlled marketing and throughout tate year there will be a number of marketing plans pre- sented and voted upon by the pro- ducers. The hog producers are be- ing given an opportunity to endorse the hog marketing plan. Egg pro- ducers are not satisfied with the re ttn'ns from their laying flocks and will he given an opportunity to sign a petition. requesting a. vote for an egg marketing plan. Due to the Large surpluses of putter and skim milk powder which we have on hand today Milk. Pro- ducers have agreed among them- selves that there • should be an overall milk marketing plan. and a vote on this plan will likely be taken later in. the year. Turnip growers and processors agree that n marketing -plan would help their industry. Potato growers are also considering a marketing plan. Many large Beef Producers and commission agents are advising producers to send ,all finished Cattle to the open market. I am convinced that only then will we be able to obtain the highest possible price for our beef cattle. I believe that if all producers would agree to place their livestock on the open market a marketing plan would not he necessary for beef cattle. I have been associated with the Federation of Agriculture for many years and have attended the short course on Marketing and Co-oper- ation at Guelph. I have been seek- ing an answer to the problems which face the farmers today and to date the only answer I can find as a rolution to our problems is to support marketing plans, I believe it is unnecessary for me to advise the producers regarding •the hog vote on March 8111. Being a producer • for many years I know the hog marketing plan is bene- ficial to the producer and deserves our support. We have only to look at the broiler proilucer•.s to see what can happen to a commodity that does not have some sort of orderly marketing. I regard it my duty to provide some initiative .and, to express my views on producer marketing and I therefore advise all producers to support the marketing plans for all farm commodities that will conic before you in the near future, ELMER IRELAND, Pres., Huton County F. of A.
