Gaunt Opposes
Marge Coloring
Murray Gaunt, Liberal MPP
for Huron -Bruce, has pledged
his support to the Huron County
Cream Producers to stop any
legislation that will allow mar-
garine producers to color their
product to imitate butter.
In a letter to the producers,
read at the Huron Federation
of Agriculture meeting, last
week at Clinton, by president
Horace Delbridge, Usborne,
Gaunt said he felt very strong-
ly about the issue. '
"You can rest assured that I
will do everything in my power
to block,. this particular legisla-
tion," he •stated.
He charged; that the margar-
ine producers did not have
enough confidence in their pro-
duct, or they would want ,it a
distinctive color so that the
consumer would, know that it
was not butter.
"They don't have enough con-
fidence in their product -so they
want to crimben the bandwagon
with -butter to reap the benefits
of the good name that butter
has built up over the years,""
he stated.
No Jbstification -
He added ,that he could see
no justification• legally, morally
lir ot.hierw,ise for coloring mar-
garine yellow.
Delbridge stated he had. also
received support in 'a letter
from Hon. C. S. MacNaughton,
