Mr. Renwick said this week that he is pleased with the opportunity being offered by the provincial govern- ment • to strengthen the Ontario sheep indust_ _. "I'm very much in favor of what Timbrell offered us," he said. "If we're smart enough, we will be able to make some improvements." He added this is a unique opportunity to make things happen in the sheep industry by going one step further in the movement of the product to market, "the same as the hog people". The commission has the backing of the Ontario Sheep Association, which voted overwhelmingly at its an- nual meeting last November to ask for a marketing plan.

Imports, mainly from the U.S. or New Zealand, supply the bulk. As a consequence, there is tremendous . room for ex- pansion of the domestic industry, he said, adding he is confident the industry can be made quite viable with increased production dis- placing imports.

Those ap- pointed are Walter Renwick off Belmore, Garf Noecker of Tralee and Jack James of the Ottawa area. The Belmore Library was a busy spot last Thursday and Friday when chemical dealers in Huron and Bruce dressing is the wild fluc- tuation in lamb prices. Mr. Renwick said that even in one day prices can vary by as much as 50 cents a pound, and a fluctuation of 15 or 20 cents is not unusual, even on comparable animals.
