Mr. Robinson, who is secretary of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, said about half of all apples pack- ed in Ontario last year went to retailers in polythene bags, or bags of similar type. There is a realignment in pro- gress now in the importance of the several apple growing areas in Canada.

Objective of the recently -formed Huron County Industrial Promotion Board -was decided at a. meeting of the group held WLdnesday atter-• noon of last week in , Clinton. The'.board decided its aims would be: To foster, co-ordinate and - direct the promotion of new and existing industries in Huron Coun- ty. ' Robert Potts,. of Toronto, a re- presentative of the Ontario Depart- ment of Planning and Develop-' ment, told the meeting that the Huron ,board and "similar boards set up recently in Bruce and Grey.' counties, are relatively new. "The Whole of Huron county has some 45,000 people, a number of resources, and in the case of Gode- rich, a lot of industries that a new Industry could' utilize," said Mr. Potts. "Huron, Bruce and Grey counties are not well known, and as far as a manufacturer's point of view is 'concerned, they have been rather a forgotten land, and their many advantages have been overlooked." A brochure' will be compiled with ' k story on all the -advantages enjoy- ed, ' including recreational, educa- tional, religious, and industrial, and notes of the present various in- dustries. John Crich stated that he, felt that agriculture, which is Huron county's biggest industry should be, tied in with the whole set-up. Cecil Hoffman, president of the Goderich Junior Chamber of Com- merce assured the meeting that industry in his town experienced no dissension when • the Sheaffer plantlocated in Goderich, • adding that it improved the labor market. Similar opinions were voiced by vice-president 'Crich and Dr. E. A. McMaster, mayor of Seaforth, who spoke of the Comstock firm when it was brought into Seaforth, and Richard' D. Jermyn, Exeter; who spoke of opinions in Exeter, which were only rumors. 'The next meeting is slated to be held in Exeter, 'Tuesday, April 13, at 8 p,m,, with R. D. - Jermyn ar i anging the program. - To date the board has received grants of $100 each' from Seaforth, Wingham, Exeter, Clinton and Godericlf, $30 each from the vil- lages of Blyth and Hensall, and $25 each from the townships -- of 11sborne and Colborne.- • BACK SHORTER PERIOD DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME .
