Howick and Carrick,- east of Mc-

The original log building was
rented from -John Renwick,
grandfather of Clarke Renwick of
Howick Township. This building
was used for two years. By then a

building erected on the northwest
corner of lot 14, con. 18, Howick
Township, owned by Joseph Muir
and now owned by August Wilkie.
Gibson and Black of Wroxeter

tory, with Mrs. David Eadie,
curator.
The roll call for this citizenship

Sewage .,study
to cost $90,000
Environment Canada is
launching a . study to determine
whether municipal sewage can
be transported under high pres-
sure, the way oil and ,,,gas are
forced .through pipelines.
Announcing the study, the
Honourable Jack Davis, Minister
of ' the Department of the En-
vironment said the study was one
of the things his department was
doing to achieve its overall objec-
tive of "promoting and encourag-
ing practices leading to better en-
vironmental quality in Canada."
"We want to find out if technol-
ogy already well developed and
long in use in the oil and gas in-
dustry can be applied to muni-
cipal sewers," Mr. Davis said.
"Current methods of, moving
sewage are based on gravity flow
and go back to the days of the Ro-
man aqueducts. I hope we can
improve on that."
The environmental protection
service of the department has re-
tained the consulting engineering ,
firm of Archer, Seade`r and Asso-
ciates to carry out the study. It is
expected to be completed within
18 months at a cost of approxi-
mately $90,000.

Pullen, agricultural representa-

"Cereal grains look quite good,
but there has been some lodg-
ing," he said, although some
wheat which is starting to ripen is
doing so unevenly, indicating
more damage may have been
done than originally thought.
The hay situation is "probably
the worst in a good many years"
Mr. Pullen reported, with many
farmers still struggling to get in
third rate crops spoiled by rainy
weather in addition to the ori-
ginal setback "from late frost.
Corn fields in the Wingham
area are looking very good con-

Frost damage was worse east of

White beans look good:, 90 per

Turnip growers also got off

immediate area are ripening

Retail food prices will likely
rise much less rapidly during the
remainder of 1972 than during the
past several months. Prices will
be fairly stable for livestock and
livestock products. Prices for
fresh produce will depend largely
on growing conditions this year.
Food prices in retail stores rose
quite rapidly in the last half of
1971, and prices continued to ad-
vance in the first four months of
1972. Higher prices for all meats,
dairy products, fresh vegetables
and for sugar at the farm and
wholesale tlevels accounts for a
4arge part of the rise of retail
prices of recent months. Pork
prices recovered from the de-
pressed levels of earlier months.
Rising costs pressure through-
out the food processing and mer-
chandising industries also con-
tributed to 'the advance of food
prices, and these pressures show
no signs of slackening in 1972.
Prices of livestock and live-
stock products are expected to
remain relatively stable because
of adequate supplies in relation to
market requirements.
- Supplies of processed fruit and
vegetables are also adequate, but
future supplies and prices of
fresh produce will depend largely
on 1972 growing conditions
throughout North America.
Prices of tropical imports such
as sugar, coffee, tea and bananas
are not expected to change much
in coming months.
The adverse effects of rising
food prices have been completely
offset by a more rapid rise in the
level of disposable incomes of
most families in Canada. In 1972,
Canadian food expenditures wt11
continue to expand by about six to
seven per cent. They will account
for a slightly smaller percentage
of consumer spending than in
1971 when consumers spent about
17 per cent of their disposable in-
comes on food for use at home
and away from home. -
While retail food prices in Can-
ada rose by about 35 per cent be-
tween 1961 and 1972, ,,prices re-
ceived by Canadian farmers in
1972 were up by an average of
only 21 per cent over the past dec-
ade. Higher farm product prices
have been, confined largelyto
livestock, milk andfresh pro-
duce. Because of these circum-
stances, many farm families
have been hard pressed to main-
tain or improve their living
standards.
Fanners have been attempting
to keep up. to the rising income
levels of urban families, They
have been expanding farm pro-
duction at a fairly fast pacer --in
1971, the index of farm production
was 45 per cent higher than in
1961, although population ad-
vanced by only 19 per cent.
This higher production occur-
red on 366,000 farms in 1971 corn-
pared with 481,000 in 1961,, a re-
duction of 24 per cent.
