He was addressing the Rotary Club at Campbellford, Ontario. Mr. Hamilton described how the gulf between farmers and urban dwellers was being widen- ed because of a failure to un- derstand that the agricultural industry was going through a major revolution. "Whether we, the farmers, like it or not, many people be- lieve that the agricultural in- dustry is dependent on Govern- ment subsidies and hand-outs and that the farmer is not mak- ing any effort to adjust, " said Mr. Hamilton. "Because of this common misconception the pressure on the dairy industry particularly, to make quick and extreme decisions, is very great. This pressure on govern- ments and farm organizations is making it very difficult to come to objective conclusions." He appealed for tolerance and understanding from the gen- eral public. As a basis for his plea and at the risk of over -simplification of a very complex problem, the Minister put forward several key facts: (1) That the surplus in the milk industry as a whole was quite small, around 6 or 7 per cent, but because this surplus was concentrated in butter it loomed very large in the minds of the public; (2) The basic difficulty was • Ott advances in technology matte it possible to produce more milk with less cows; (3) Because the industry was divided into several products and because there was divided Alikr,liction between the federal .,.' provincial governments, it is probable that government's attempt to help had made the situation more complex; (4) There was tremendous evidence that the provincial governments and the producers, as well as the Federal Govern- ment, were in a mood, as never before, to grapple with the dairy problem. Mr. Hamilton pointed out that, on the initiative of the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture, a meeting of the dairy industry was being called in Ottawa on February 21 and 22 behind closed doors. At this meeting the eleven govern- ments and the various segments of the milk industry hope to be able to demonstrate that rea- sonable people could come to- gether in a reasonable solution. The minister hoped that the general public would support constructive moves and warned that no solution would be quick and easy. He said: "As Cana- dians we must help an industry vital to the country adjust to the existing and future factors facing them." Mr. Hamilton thought that businessmen in a farm community could play an active part in bridging the gulf of misunderstanding that exists between residents of urban areas and the farmers in a modern industrial age. WHY A POSSE CAN BE BOSSY Under American common law, a sheriff can legally co- opt a force of able-bodied citizens to assist him, in case of invasion, riot or other vio- lence. Members of a posse are bound to help the sheriff, un- der penalty of indictment, when he has lawfully requested aid. A posse can legally kill a law -breaker in case of resis- tance. However, unnecessary violence is punishable. If you're living beyond your income it might be wise to act your wage. aeleeeillOonimngliasltrtNttuftseeeII+miresm Istmose tlmemni efel ilea MI !tMINHsemo ei SEWING SWEETHEARTS BLUEVALE—The second meeting of 4-H Club was held at the home .

HOLES CUT IN ICE DANGEROUS TRAP Lake Simcoe District conser- vation officers warn that even when ice is thick enough on Lake Simcoe to support vehicles, other factors still may cause dangerous conditions. "Cracks frequently occur in the ice and, under certain con- ditions, may leave open stretches of water which can't be seen from a distance, " they report. "Similarly, holes cut by ice fishermen provide a dangerous trap for vehicles and unwary walkers. For safety's sake, it is recommended that uncovered holes left in the ice by fishermen be marked in some conspicuous manner. Also, after the fishing is over, fishermen should gather up their refuse and take it with them." Two ants raced at top speed across a cracker box. "Why are we running so fast?" panted the first ant. "Can't you read?" puffed the second. "It says here, 'Tear along the dotted line.'" Find New Markets For Holsteins, '62 Hardy Shore, of Glanworth, chairman of the Extension Ser- vice Committee told members of the Holstein -Friesian As- sociation that a market must be developed for all the milk that can be produced. Mr. Shore was giving his report at the 80th annual meeting at the Royal York in Toronto. "It is our hope that out of the welter of reports, discussions and proposals that the dairy industry has seen recently, a sound plan for the marketing of milk will emerge. Certainly the producer would be in a stronger position if one organi- zation spoke for him and if the different producer groups could be induced to work together for the common good." "We cannot help but feel that the greatest future chal- lenge to our breed will come, not from other breeds, but from the good grade Holstein herds that are being developed with the help of the high- class purebred sires in A.I. service. To stay ahead, the purebred breeder must make consistent use of R. O. P. and selective registration and use the results for selection and culling. "An accelerated export pro- gram to other countries helped to counterbalance the drop in the number of animals shipped to the United States. Serious feed conditions were caused by drought in several of the large importing states and milk prices were rather unsatisfac- tory. We were pleased to welcome visiting cattlemen from many nations and our breeders enjoyed sales to such relatively new markets as Japan, Italy and Great Britain, "The action of the Dairy Farmers of Canada in initiating a year round set-aside that is designed to produce enough revenue to finance an adver- tising program of realistic pro- portions should be enthusias- tically endorsed by every pro- ducer. Regardless of the mar- keting system that eventually ensues as a result of the dis- cussions that have been going on now for several years, a market must be developed for all the milk We produce, This can only be done through agres- sive advertising." the last meeting by Anne Cur- rie. Roll call was answered by "The Type of Duster I .Planned to Make". The next meeting will be held on February 23,.
