I was chatting not long ago with some of the people
responsible for planning the Telephone Association of
Canada Pavilion for Expo 67. And, I was fascinated With
the project. The major telephone companies in Canada
are working as a team in this project. Site of the pavil-
ion, whidh is now nearing completion, will be next to one
of the exhibition theme buildings, "Man The Explorer"
on Ile Verte, the man-made extension of St. Helen's
Island in the St. Lawrence River. The main external
feature of the pavilion, a large "dram" in the centre of
the building, will house a theatre specially built to dhow
a spectacular film of Canada and its people. The Walt
Disney Circle Vision 360° technique will be used for the
first time in Canada. The huge screen completely sur-
rounds the viewer vibe will feel part of the unfolding
panorama. Children will not be forgotten and special
attractions are being planned for them in the Enchanted
Forest. Visitors will also have a chance to see com-
munications services of the future. I hope you are
planning now to visit our Telephone Association of Canada
Pavilion vthen you're at Expo 67 . . I am.
Before you start on your summer vacation, whether
it's for two weeks or two months, please be sure to
phone cancelling all deliveries to your home. Milk bottles
and newspapers on the doorstep tell burglars that there's
no one at borne.
It sounds incredible now, but back in the early
days of the telephone, people had to shout to be heard
at the other end of the line. And telephone lines didn't
cover many miles in those days either! Today, you can
plhone all the way around the world, talk in a natural
voice, and be heard clearly and easily. This kind of im-
provement doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of
constant research and development in the communications
field. In fact, improvement in telephone communications
is a continuing process. Talking directly into the mouth-
piece helps give your voice greater clarity and just the
right voice volume. You can talk in a natural voice and
make the most of the wonderful convenience and depend-
ability of your telephone,

WHY
THERE COULD
BE A SHORTAGE
OF DAIRY FOODS
IN CANADA
In Canada, one of the world's great agri-
cultural countries, it is ironic that there
could be a shortage of milk.
One of the main reasons for this is that
each year an average of 10,000 dairy farmers
are leaving the business.
Despite increased efficiency, high costs of
operation, equipment and feed are forcing
dairy farmers out of business. Nearly all
farm expenses have increased while the
price of dairy foods has remained fairly
constant.
There is a serious shortage of farm labour.
More and more farm workers are attracted
to other industries where they can work
fewer hours for more pay.
If dairy farmers continue to leave the busi-
ness at the current rate, there could be a
serious shortage of vital dairy foods in
Canada. The dairy industry is important to
Canada's economic and nutritional health.
And dairy foods are still one of your best
food values.

county. He cited Huron as first
in improved farm land, com-
mercial farms, total cattle,
total poultry and dry beans;
second in all field crops, mixed
grain, flax and barley, and
third in total swine and corn
for fodder,
Mr. Stewart reminded those
present of the many farming
changes in recent years and
noted the importance of farm
people keeping abreast of the
times, Before the actual cere-
mony he recalled that he had
learned to plow with a walking
plow many years ago.
To officially break the sod
the highways minister drove a
tractor, while the agricultural
minister guided an ancient
walking plow.
F. A, Lashley, secretary-
manager of the Ontario Plow-
men's Association, advised of
an innovation at this year's In-
ternational Match. Young
plowmen will receive travel-
ing assistance from all parts of
Ontario. The international and
local plowing associations will
co-operate in providing funds
for this purpose.
The program also included
brief remarks by James M.
Scott, mayor o f the Tented
City; Warden Ken Stewart;
Mayor J. H. Flannery of the
town of Seaforth and Norman
B rber, president of the OPA.
Match hats were presented to
the two cabinet ministers by
A. J. Wright, president of the
Seaforth Lions Club.
Chairman for the afternoon
was W. D. Stephenson, who
heads the publicity committee.
The walking plows used in
the ceremonies were about
100 years old and typical of
those used in Huron County
during the past century.
The International Match,
largest outdoor agricultural ev-
ent of its kind in Canada, if
not in the world, each year
attracts daily attendances of
up to 50,00r1 people.
Located in McKillop Town-
ship, on the northern limits of
Seaforth, activities will be
centred on the 400-acre Scott
Farms and adjoining farms, a
total area of nearly 1,000

The labor conference will

ham spoke on farm safety.

CONFERENCE REPORT
Mr. Thomas reported on the
Zone 2 conference in Listowel
when A. H. Daynard of Staffa
was chairman.
Bill Urquhart from MODA
gave an address on regional de-
velopment and the part the
Federation of Agriculture can
play.
John Phillips, farm business
editor of the Rural Co-operator,
criticized the organization. He
said Canada's population is
growing so fast that if many
more farmers leave their land
there will be a food shortage.
Farmers throughout the wes-
tern world face the same prob-
lems, he said. Ontario has two
provincial farm organizations,
the Farmers Union and the 0,
F.A., both with the same ob-
jectives but different techniques
in expressing themselves. in

COURSE AT GUELPH
Dr. IC, M, MacLennan,lo-

five-day meat inspection re-
fresher course at the Ontario
Veterinary College, Guelph,
June 6 to 10th,
The course is part of a train-
ing program of the Veterinary

partment of Agriculture and
Food under the province's Meat
Inspection Act.
Veterinary practitioners who
have completed the refresher
course will act as consultants
for the full time provincial
meat inspectors working in their
area.
the five years are now up but
things remain the same.
He spoke of the Farmers Un-
ion in Britain, similar to the
Federation. In Britain the Un-
ion appears in one court case a
day on behalf of members, to
settle disputes. He concluded
that people in the area could
do better if the two organiza-
tions became one forceful
group.
A panel discussion was held
on the county Federation with
Mr. Daynard as moderator and
panelists Jim Jacklin, Ed Dear-
ing, John Black, and Charles
Thomas. One of the most im-
portant subjects was, "Can we
provide more services?" Points
suggested were: either a lawyer
or accountant in the office for
legal affairs; computer system;
income tax consultants who
could fill out returns; research
people; and more knowledge-
able and trained people in the
office who understand property
problems.
INSPECTOR SPEAKS
"The Place of Agricultural
Classes in Secondary Schools"
was the topic of Murray Young,
inspector of agricultural classes.
He said they are trying to estab-
lish a type of agriculture to
meet the changing 60s, to train
people to use the resources
around them in the economics
of business.
Four basic requirements are
needed by people, clothing,
food, shelter and water. These
are all from nature. The aims
of secondary school agricultural
courses are to encourage stud-
ents to stay in school, and to
show what is involved and the
jobs that are open in agricul-
ture.
The question left with the
group was "Can we be content
with the type of agricultural
education in this space age of
today?"
New Base Price

The price for 1966 crop On-
tario winter wheat has been set

Board chairman; Peter Mac-
Kinnon of Bath, said the board's
Negotiating. Committee, in con.
sicleratien of world wheat con-
ditions and all factors surround-
ing the board's obligation to

lished beginning fot the new
