Increased Use
Of Eggs Promoted
"In undertaking to promote
an increase in the use of eggs,
under the "Plentiful Foods Pro-
gramme", the Ontario Food
Council is fulfilling another
responsibility of its original ob-
jective, this time by co-operat-
ing in a promotional campaign
to market eggs now in plentiful
supply, " Hon. W. A. Stewart,
Minister of Agriculture for Ont-
ario said last week.
Everyone has a stake in the
basic industry of agriculture ac-
cording to Mr. Stewart and pro-
ducers and consumers alike,
must recognize that any reces-
sion, even of temporary nature,
in any phase of the agricultural
economy, cannot help but be
reflected adversely in every
phase of the provincial econo-
my.
"While it may be true that
present egg prices do not pro-
vide egg producers with any
margin of profit, they do enable
consumers to take full advant-
age of very attractive prices, "
said the Minister. "Eggs are
acknowledged as being an al-
most perfect food --a food high
in protein and a food which
should constitute a very impor-
tant part of our daily diet. Con-
sumers now have a splendid
opportunity to make the house-
keeping dollar go further through
this very attractive opportunity
to purchase eggs at present
prices. Eggs will never be bet-
ter value, and can be used in a
wide variety of ways."

his cutter during the storm at the end of

Re
and his owner, who appeared to have the
best mode of transportation was absent for

Wingham Credit Union
Declares 5% Dividend
The annual banquet and
meeting for members and share-
holders of the Wingham Com-
munity Credit Union was held
at Danny's Restaurant last Thurs-
day evening. In spite of the
raging blizzard there was a fair
attendance, but there were a
number of out of town members
and guests who were unable to
attend, including the speaker,
Alfred Fisher, field representa-
tive of the Ontario Credit Union
League who lives in Sarnia.
Following the turkey dinner
official business was conducted
by president and treasurer, Jack
Gorbutt. It was unanimously
agreed that a five per cent divi-
dend
ividend be declared again this year,
to be paid on all savings in the
Wingham Credit Union. New
members were nominated, and
elected to office for board of
directors were Les Reynolds to
fill a two-year term, Dave Bur-
gess, Harry Montgomery and
Borden Jenkins to fill three-year
terms. For the supervisory board,
Earl Knox to fill a one-year
term of office, Ken Cerson, two-
year term and Earl Jenkins a
three-year term. For the credit
committee, Mrs. W. Connell
was elected for one year and
Robert Sinnamon for three years.
Dave Burgess, who is a
very active member, showed an
entertaining and educational
film, "King X" which gave a
good outline of how helpful the
Credit Union is to a community

ed election for 19 members to
the Huron County Hog Commit-
tee which comprises Zone 10 of
the Ontario Hog Producers Mar-
keting Board.
At the nomination meeting
held on February 2 in Clinton,
20 candidates were duly nomin-
ated to contest the election of
the 19 committee men, and a
vote was scheduled for March 2
at five localities in the county.
The resignation of Mr. Sern-
ple as a candidate now leaves
the required number and all
have been declared elected by
acclamation. Both the mover
and seconder of Mr. Semple's
nomination agreed to the with-
drawal.
Committeemen elected to
represent Huron County for the
next three years are; Baan, Mar-
tin, .RR 3, Walton; Bacon, Al-
bert G., Belgrave; Baker, Ken-
neth W. , RR 1, Scafortlr;Camp-

and the many ways a local citi-
zen can benefit from this organ-
ization.
A question and answer per-
iod was carried out. The Wing -
ham Community Credit Union
started back in 1960 and first
received its Charter in January,
1961. Its growth has been steady
since the beginning and this
past year showed a sharp in-
crease in both savings deposits
and loans. Secretary Earl Hey-
wood stated that the board of
directors feels this increase is
largely because the office is
now open daily for business at
5 Diagonal Road, which in turn
has provided a greater conven-
ience for those wishing to use
the services of the local Credit
Union. The five per cent divi-
dend paid on all savings deposits
last year also attracted many
new members.
The board of directors will
meet in March to appoint new
heads of office for the next year.
Gismo's girl friend saw in
the paper that in certain parts
of India a wife could be pur-
chased for $2.00. "Isn't that
awful!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, I don't know," Gismo
replied. "A good wife should be
worth it."

Michael Kieffer
Is Prize Winner
BELMORE- The community
extends congratulations to
Michael Kieffer, who was award-
ed first prize for having the
largest percentage increase in
Grade A Hogs at the annual
meeting of Bruce County Hog
Producers, held in Walkerton
recently. Mike's increase was
35.81% over 1963, in the "over
100 hogs marketed" class, in
the Bruce Hogs for Profit pro-
gram. He was awarded a cheque
for $100.
Drivers Given
3 -Day Extension
The heavy snowstorm on
Thursday and Friday brought a
short reprieve for those who had
not purchased license plates for
motor vehicles.
It was announced last week
that there would definitely be
no extension after the February
28 date. However, since motor-
ists were asked by the Dept. of
Highways Minister Charles Mac -
Naughton to stay off the high-
ways at the week -end so that
department crews could clear
the roads, an extension was
granted to March 3, by Trans-
port Minister Haskett.
The trouble is that when suc-
cess turns a fellow's head, it
doesn't wring his neck at the
same time.
Problems of Aging

The effect of rapid change
weighs more heavily on the
aging, The future may hold
many changes which older peo-
ple cannot face without help.
How can this help be provided?
Who should be responsible for
the well-being of the aging
family? Recent interest in the
problems of the aging have led
to a number of studies, notably
a province -wide study conduct-
ed in Saskatchewan and the re-
cent meetings of the Senate
Committee on Aging.
The Farm Forum broadcast
of March 15, chaired by Don
Fairbairn of Toronto, will fea-
ture Miss Lola Wilson of the De-
partment of Health and Welfare,

Saskatchewan study; Dr. R.E.G.
Davis, Secretary of the Senate
Committee on Aging and Lorne
Hurd of the Canadian Federation
of Agriculture.

tains a summary of recent re-
commendations made by the

blems of the aging. For free
