New Ontario
Securities Act
now law
Government action places new
responsibilities. This advertisement
tells you what they are.
Important changes in the Securities
Act, 1966, and in the Corporations
Act became law on May 1st 1967.
The new legislation will have far-
reaching effects. It sets standards
which everyone in the investment
business must follow. It says exactly
how certain vital procedures should
be carried out. It demands a full range
of information from companies offer-
ing shares to the public, and makes
that information fully available to
every interested citizen.
Here are five ways in which the
Securities Act will help the
people of Ontario.,
Financial Disclosure The new Act
requires companies to make a full
report of their financial situation to
the Ontario Securities Commission
every year.These reports will be made
available to the public.
Irtside'r Trading Insiders of com-
panies (senior officials and major
shareholders) must now keep the
Commission informed of their hold-
ings in their companies, and must
report changes as they take place.
This information will be made avail-
able for public use.
Take-over bids New regulations
govern the procedure to be followed
when one company tries to obtain
control of another by share purchase.
They include a minimum period for
which the offer is to remain open,
and a 7-day period during which the
shareholder approached may change
his mind. Any investor involved in a
take-over bid will now be kept fully
informed.
Proxies Under the new Act, detailed
information must be given whenever
a company asks for a proxy vote, to
be used on the shareholder's behalf.
The shareholder must be told exactly
who is to use his vote, and what his
interest is. The company is limited in
the way the vote can be used. The
result will be to give the absent share-
holder a more effective voice at com-
pany meetings.
The prospectus The way in which
a company can describe new invest-
ments is controlled by the Act. One
important change is that the prospec-
tus must always be written in simple,
clear, non-technical language.
Another requires the prospectus to
be published in two stages, with a
pause of at least ten days between
the two. The preliminary prospectus
is for information only; trading can-
not begin until the final prospectus
is published. The effect will be to
give dealers and investors time to
think.
Further information This adver-
tisement gives only a brief outline of
some of the more important changes
in the Securities Act 1966, and the
Corporations Act. Nothing in the Act
relieves the investor of the respon-
sibility of making sound decisions
based on good advice. Your lawyer,
broker, or other qualified investment
adviser will be able to give you fuller
information:. or copies of the Act can
be obtained from the Ontario Secu-
ritio,s Commission, 123 Edward
Street, Toronto 2, and from the
Queen's Printer, 26 Breadalbane
Street, Toronto 5.
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS

Hen. H. L. Rowritree,
Minister of Financial and Commercial Affairs
wingharn Advance,Times, Thursday, May 4, /067 Page
Thank organizations for
financial help for tour
and manager. I was inmy farm
duds, and a bit rattled by this
red-carpet attention I was get-
ting. So I came clean. "Look
here," I said, "there's been a
misunderstanding. I'm only
getting half a dozen chickens to
keep the family in eggs, that's
When I started as a green-
horn farmer, I tried to give all
our animals and pets as much
freedom of action as possible;
but today, I must confess, I
have our chickens lodged in
cages, from which the eggs roll
down on slanted plastic with
impersonal precision, factory
style. It's not the happiest life
in the world for those chickens,
I suppose, but it is highly con-
venient for me and for my fam-
ily.
Periodically I try to tell my-
self that it is best for the chick-
ens, too. Keeps them out of
trouble, Always there is food
and water for them, and they
are protected from predators.
They lay whiter, cleaner eggs
and they don't have to scratch
for a living.
I can't get away with this
rationalizing for very long,
though. Those chickens would
be better off out in the sun,
chasing insects and scratching
for grain, The caging process
is for my own convenience and
welfare, not theirs. It is the
old story. Dictators and dic-
tatorial politicians have tried,
always, to justify regimenta-
tion on the grounds that they do
it for th9 good of the people.
I'll go down to the barn and try
that line on the chickens. I
suspect there'll be some bitter-
ness in their cackling.
Years of living as a city
slicker spoiled us. We like
eggs with delicate yolks and
cannot eat a dark, strong egg.
Also, we are used to walking
on clean pavement, and chick-
ens refuse to co-operate. So,
with a Sketch from a farm mag-
azine. I set out for the wire
factory in Mission City.
An employee met me at the
door of this huge factory and
asked me what I wanted. "I'm
going into chiekens," I said,
"and I've drawn up a sketch of
the type of cage I want".
"Custom built?" he asked,
"I want everything com-
pletely automatic," I said,
"I'd better get the boss.
Please wait here."
He jumped into an automo,
`bile and took off, Presently he
returned with the factory owner
The spring meeting of the
Saugeen District Boy Scouts of
Canada was held On Wednesday
night at the Cargill Vnited
Church with over "Kl in attend,.
anco from Wingham. Walker-
ton, Teeswater. Lucknow,
cardine, Hanover, Chesley,
Cargill, Durham, Kinloss, Tiv-
erton and. Ripley.
The business meeting was
preceded by a banquet catered
by the U.C.W, of the church.
Harold Garlick of Hanover intro-,
duced the head table. Richard
Porter, Scoutmaster of the Car-
gill Boy Scout Troop welcomed
the gathering to Cargill and Mel
Hart of Walkerton thanked the
ladies for the excellent dinner.
Mr. Carl Fry, pastor of the Car-
gill United Church, and Rev.
Father Bianchi of Chepstowe
spoke briefly.
The meeting was called to
order by the president of Sau-
geen Council, Roy Hamer of
Hanover. The minutes, treas-
urer's report and correspondence
were given by the secretary-
treasurer, William Ross of Dur-
ham, followed by the District
Commissioner's report by Arch-
ie Gowanlock of Walkerton.
Mr, Ross gave a report on the
Centennial Family Day to be
held at Inverhuron Park in June.
George Johnston reported on the
Provincial Conference held re-
cently in Barrie, attended by
himself and the president,
In the president's report, Roy
Harrier touched on a variety of
subjects, stressing attendance at
the church parade in Durham on
May 28th, where the Grey and
Sinicoe Foresters Band will be
in attendance in uniforms of
all.
You could almost hear the
employee's jaw, it fell so far so
fast. But Mr. Butler himself,
let out a hearty roar of laugh-
ter and grabbed me by the hand.
He gave me a ten-dollar tour
of his fabulous factory, made a
new pattern from my sketch,
and his own son made me up an
exceptionally fine set of cages,
with automatic watering and a
trough for the feed. He used a
special plastic wire, so the
eggs are clean and undamaged.
Later I met his wife, and we
were soon comparing notes on
greenhorn farming in the val-
ley.
Later that day, I visited a
farm where they'd really gone
into the chicken business, and
I could understand the red-car-
pet treatment. Here, a $50, -
000 investment is considered a
pretty small ranch. The set-up
I looked at must have taken at
least $100, 000 to establish. But
by gosh, the cages weren't as
good as those right here on
Greenhorn Farm.

Malfunction
of stoker
starts fire
According to Fire Chief
Dave Crothers, a malfunction-
ing furnace stoker was the
cause of a blaze that resulted
in considerable smoke and wa-
ter damage to a Wroxeter place
of business last Friday evening.
Prompt action by the Wing-
ham. rural fire brigade in ins-
wer to an alarm at the Wiliam
Edgar store on Wroxeter's main
street saved the building from
destruction. The blaze was dit.
covered by Wayne Johnston,
18, who saw smoke coming
from the basement of the store
building. Overheated wires to
the stoker started wooden beams
on fire,
Nearby buildings did not suf-
fer damage.
