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, FOR DEAD OR -DISABLE D ANIMALS CALL COLLECT DARLING AND COMPANY OF .CANADA LTD.
