Tourist and industrial promotion
came in for some- discussion at
Friday night's Town Council meet-
ing. Council turned down a re-
uest_frem_Godexich JaYeees far_
aid in financing a Goderich section
in a-- souvertir-bocrklet -distributed
to persons who will attend the
next Stratford Shakespearean Fes-
tival.
Mayor Ernie C. Fisher and other
members of Council stressed that
they would be favorably disposed
towards making a grant to , the
Jaycees for sbme other tourist pro-
motion project, but they did not
think the project suggested was
the best investment that eould be
made.
Pie_Sideat aPc1
arry -Chairman -Ortfie'
Jayeees' tourist committee, said
that $400 would buy two pages
for ,Goderich in the booklet, which
mild have _a_tutess_run__.oL20,001
copies. Two thousand copies would
be sent to Goderich for distribu-
tion through the local tourist in-
formation booth, etc. •
"We feel this would be of bene-
fit to the community," said Mr.
Aitken in asking Council to con-
sider giving some help. The Jay-
cee representatives felt that a
,Goderich section in the. booklet
would pay off in bringing tourists
here. The type of people who
attend the festival should be ex-
cellent prospects, it was stated.
Councillor C. M. Robertson said
later, in committee of the whole,
that he -felt there might be better
ways for,Council to spend money.
For one thing, he thought it would
be wise to improve the beach here
before steps are taken to promote
it.
Councillor- Joe Allaire felt that
the booklet was basically a Strat-
ford promotion and that Goderich
would be, in effect, subsidizing
Stratford by buying space in the
booklet.
Councillor Bruce Sully saw the
booklet as "a good investment"
but added that he would like it
better if Goderich was played up
on the cover, instead of Stratford.
Hire Commissioner?
Observing that Council gives
$1,000 to the 'Goderich Industrial
Commission, $350 to Mid -Western
Ontario Development Association
and was considering a grant to
tourist promotion, Councillor Al-
laire wondered if it wouldn't be
wiser to take all this money and
put it towards the hiring of an
industrial commissioner for the
town. •
Councillor Peter MaCE*an felt
that the cost, of engaging an-10-
dustrial commissioner might be
prohibitive: Also, he pointed out
that—at practically no cost—mem-
bers of Council and other interest-
ed citizens are already doing Mal
of the work that an industrial
commissioner normally does,
Councillor MacEwan
president of Mid -Western Ontario
Development Association. He in-
dicated that he had received 12 to
15 complaints from business peo-
ple here because Council last year
turned doWn a chance to buy space
in the Stratford • Festival booklet.
Other members of Council said
they had not received any such
complaints.
It was noted by Councillor Al-
laire that Grand Bend bought space
in the booklet last year bilt ap-
parently is not -going to do so this
time. Councillor Tipple said that,
if money was being given for tour-
ist promotion, he wanted to make
absolutely siire it was being spent
for ,Goderich.
' A motion to grant the Jaycees
$75 failed to win support.
Mr. Aitken told Council earlier
that the Jaycees might carry on
alone en the project if Council did
not make a grant. He added,
"This isn't our whole program by
any means,"

old Weather Damage
To Hogs-ls-Probiem
(By J. C. Hemingway)
HuronCounty Hog Producers
held their annual meeting ih, the
--Legiorr-Hall,--Clintorr, -on Satu d
last. There was a very good at-
tendance, considering the weather.
This •organization has received
so much publicity in regards to
their selling and directional pro-
gram that some of the other things
are being „overlooked.
We have had bad weather which
has made the collecting of hogs
much slower for the truckers.
Along with this, it has been quite
cold. These two factors have
caused considerable frost damage
to one load of hogs transported
by one trucker. •
The packing plant, After the hogs
had been slaughtered,, docked this
shipmen considerably. This
would have been a direct loss to
the producer. The Marketing
Agency refused this settlement on
the grounds that this loss was
through no fault .of the producer
and payment would have to be
received either from the plant. or
from the trucker. In this case,
the plant took the °loss but a very
definite warning went out to the
trucker that he would have to
improve his handling of hogs if.
he wished to continue • transport-
ing hogs. Thus, the Marketing
Board protects the farmers' in--
terests.
The cost of transportation was
questioned at the meeting. I pur-
chased a few cattle at Kitchener
last 'Thursday and hired a trucker
from Huron County to bring them
home. He had taken a load of
hogs to the yards at Kitchener.
This trucker charged me 50c a
head more this year than what I
had paid last year. When I asked
him' he said that the hog pro-
ducers had reduced the amount of
money to be made from transport -

ling hogs, •therefore truckers had
to have more money for return
s, I think, answers the
question -ansportation-costs- for
hogs.
Further, farmers need to realize
that hogs are sold F.O.B. from the
Clinton yards. The farmer is only
responsible for payment of trans-
portation to the nearest marketing
yard. Some truckers are picking
up togs when the Clinton. yard
is not operating .and taking the
hogs to Stratford or Kitchener. In
this case, the farmer is responsible
for the transportation costs to
these points rather than to Clinton.
While we sympathize with the
truckers who may be suffering loss
of income, will the hog producer
be producing hogs for his own
financial gain or -to provide the
transporter with profitable busi-
ness?

County.Hog Producers
Reject Direction Plan
By a 2 to 1 vete, Huron County '
Hog -Producers' annual meeting
turned down a resolution by the
president of the Ontario Farmers'
Union requesting the Ontario Hog
Producers' Marketing Board to set
up a system 9f directing hogs from
the farmers' barn straight, to the
packer, on a trial basis.
A resolution, introduced by the
resolutions__ committe, headed by
Ed HendriCk, Stephen Township
director -of the association, ap-
proving the present system,. of as-
sembly yards, was 'passed by the
large gathering.
Gordon Hill, Varna, president of
the OFU, suggested that the plan
he offered be set up in an area
where the producers concerned
were interested and were in favor
of such a method of directing hegs.
Assembly yards were set up in
Clinton recently.
- Mr.
Hill charged that there has
been a great deal of dissension
as to whether assembly yards are
working to the best advantage.
"The directing of hogs from , the
,farmer's stable would allow the
farmer to retain his bargaining
power to the fullest extent," he
maintained.
Several prominent hog producers
said, "One plan is enough at a
time let us give -• the assembly
yards a fair trial."
Re_elected as the ssociation's
executive were: President, W. R.
Lobb. Clinton; first vice-president,
Ross Love, R.R. 2. Hensall; second
vice-president, Albert Bacon, Bel -
grave, and secretary-treasiirer, Al-
fred Warner, Bayfield.
Delegates named to attend- the
provincial meeting in Toronto next
month were: Mr. Lobb, Elgin Por-
ter. Goderich Township; Alvin Pau,
Zurich, and Simon Hallahan, Bel -
grave; with Orval Taylor, Belgrave,
alternate.
Mr. Lobb in his chairman's re-
marks pressed for a clamping down
on the number of hogs that "are
being marketed through the back
door in Huron County." He claim-
ed that the county's hog population
this year Was as great as last but
that credit was not being gained
for it berause of the existing eon-
diticrns in the north of the county.
Eldred Aikeh; Allenford, chair-
man of the Ontario Hog Producers
Marketing Board, paid tribute to
Huron county as one of the niost
progressive ones in assisting with
the present program of marketing
hogs. "Ontario does an $85,000-
000 -a -year business in hogs, of
which Huron's share is no small
part at $6,500,000," he stated. As-
sembly yards have cost 9.6 cents
per hog, he said, adding that the
cost will rise as more' yards -are
set up.
