He was born in Culross' Township and is a brother of Owen King, who now resides in Walkerton but lived for many years in the Wingham area. The article follows: Frank J. King, executive vice-president and director of Ralston Purina of Canada Ltd.. has retired after 28 years of out- standing service to his firm. The story of his career reads like a "dime -to -riches" novel. It was in 1933 that Frank - graduated from the Ontario Ag- ricultural College. where jobs for graduates were scarce dur- ing the height of the depression For some time he worked for Silverwoods Dairies Ltd. , and then joined the staff of t h e Livestock Branch, Canada De- partment of Agriculture, in which position he worked as an R, O. P. inspector. His early , contacts with many Canadian dairy cattle breeders served him in good stead when his next move to Purina tookplace as a poultry and livestock spe- ialist. His ability to organize interesting farm meetings with- in the various segments of the livestock industry for Purina customers and prospective cus- tomers soon led to his appoint- ment as a district sales mana- ger, then regional sales mana- ger and finally to the position of executive vice-president and director of his company. Though now retired, he still remains a director as well as a consultant on special projects. Perhaps poultrymen will re- member Frank best,' and his Electors of BERRY TOWNSHIP i 'HAVE BEEN ,NOMINATED AS A CANDIDATE •FOR TOWNSHIP COUNCIL. In 'these changing times I feel it is important • that younger, councillors should be elected. I would ask .for your support at the polls on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6th. DONALD 5. EADIE 4p partner William Garfat, as the founders of the commercial broiler industry in Canada. It wasback in 1944, yes, twenty- five years ago, that these two' men started a processing plant' in Aurora., devoted basically to the killing a n d merchandising of chicken broilers, Choicer - Cut -Up Chicken by name. (The plant is now known as Checker- beard Farms). They had thieit problems, for in those days su- permarkets saw no future in oven-ready broilers, so these young partners,opened seven''of their own exclusive cut- cut-up chicken stores as pilot projects. Their success led to eventually. convincing the supermarkets that they had a winner --and the rest is history! - Frank and Mrs. King have one son who is doing' post gradu- ate work at Wayne State Uni- versity. The Kings have two new homes on or near golf courses, one inflorida, and the other in Toronto.

Warden James. Hayter comp- limented him .on his progressive thinking and, told G a r o n and Lobb those were the very ideas • held by some members of coun- ty council who are working to- ward certain change. _ Exeter's deputy'reeve, Mery Cudmore, asked Mr Garon what these development associ- ates knewthat was different. He was told they are profession- als from Ottawa who have easy access to every government de- partment. Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuck ersmith, said his municipality was in harmony with all efforts made by Clinton to reactivate the base just as soon as it has been closed. Slight reduction in county ossible next year rate is BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER There may be a bit of a re- duction in the county mill rate ' , for . 1970, according to the fore- cast of John G. Berry, clerk - treasurer for the county of Hur- on speaking at Friday morning's. session of county council. He said because. therbuilding program at the new.administra- tive centre is complete, and the final debenture on •the 1961 ad- dition at. Huronview has been paid, coupled with the fact that the county is no longer responsi- ble far the assessment depart - ment, it seems feasible that the county may be in a position to consider reducing the levy for general purposes. ,Mr. Berry urged council not to reduce the mill rate .to such a position that in 1971 there would have to be.a substantial increase. He stressed a "mid die of the road approach", He 'also recommended that the, working capital reserve fund be increased to avoid such large borrowing costs. Interest cost to the end of October amounted to $9,401.07 for the general ac- count and $37,948.32 for the highway account.

ION Council discussed the possi-+ bility of two installments fOr paymentof, taxes. It was point- ed .out that in municipalities where taxes are collected on an instalment basis, county taxes • should be forwarded in instal- , ments as . well. . Everett Mcllwain, Godericli Township, said that the same people are paying the interest charges whether the local mu- nicipalities borrows the money or the county borrows the. funds. Elmer Hayter, Stanley,. said it would be a real hardship for . farmers to pay their taxes in in- stalments because they have to. wait for their crops to grow be- fore they have the money to pay their taxes. Charlie Thomas, Grey, pointed out that a municipality could borrow money cheaper than the individual farmer. Jack Alexander, !gingham, suggested that the penalty for failure to pay taxes on time should be raised to the highest possible level in order to get /tax money in promptly.

"They could lose this fun c t ion as well, " the warden. warned. Clerk Berry also asked that ' the executive committee con- sider the possibility of estab- lishing a reserve fund for sick leave credits."in view of the tight financial guidelines as proposed by various provincial 'departments, a large payment in any one year could result in overspending, " advised the clerk. "The reserve fund would be a protection factor.

Pensions for the majority of Ontario's retired teachers and their widows will about double at the end of January. I.duca- tion Minister William Mavis an- nnounced in .the Legislature that the minimum long term and disability pensions currently drawn by about 2290 teachers will rise from $1200 a year to $2100 a year. The minimum pensions paid to the dependents of deceased teachers will in - crease from $600 to $1050 a year, Mr. Davis said the new inin- iinunis will be integrated with the amounts pensioners receive from the Canada Pension Plan. The Government, will guarantee that the total pension payments will not he below the new mini- mums. The teachers' pensions to he increased are in the A. B. C, and CII categories.
