R. (Bert) Lobb, Holmesville, president of the Huron County Hog Producers Association, at the annual meeting of that group, said he was not supportmg `that gentleman down in Perth"' (Theo- dore Parker) but expressed the opinion that as a result of Parker's campaign, organizations such as hog producers anda Federation of e Agriculture had gained strength because opposition had drawn members together. The organization went on record as supporting the present, hog mar- keting system with established central agency, and also supported a resolution that the Federation of Agriculture should be recognized as the official voice of the rural people, e The hog marketing system in' general was discussed briefly after Elred Aiken, Owen Sound, "chair- man of the Marketing Board, ex- elained the work of the board. Mr, Aiken said, in answer to one question, that the manager of U.L.S. had been -recently replaced as a result of conferehees between the company and the marketing board representatives. Aiken is one of the men summonsed by writ to appear in an action brought by Theodore Parker of Ellice Town= ship. The action protests the legality of the marketing board's right to permit a private company to handle hog marketing. Aiken said Thursday he had just received his copy of the writ). One of the results of the U.L.S, Marketing Board conferences, ac- cording to, Mr, Aiken, was estab-. lishment .of a hog assembly centre at Kitchener, He slid the . marketing board had authority, to order truckers holding PCV licences -.to "go where we want them to go," but that Salesmanship And n Needed a Nee ed T o Produce Industry Reeve Crich reported ,to town council Monday evening that mem-a bers of the new industrial com- mittee had attended a meeting in Goderich last week, when they heard J.

Any campaign needs a minimum of three years effort, and it needs money to put .anything across,'' Coun. George Beattie stated that the 'brochure' and the type- writer appeared to be of no use in the matter of industrial promotion., The whole thing, he said, boils down, 'to good salesmanship, Clerk Holland read a report of the meeting in Goderich which m eluded the fact that to be'effective in its industrial promotion cam- paign, the town sleeted make all citizens aware of the need for it, and understand how they can help in the job. a Salvation Army Gets 25.

Following officers were elected: President, Bert Lobb, Clinton; first vice-president, Harry Sturdy, Au- burn; Second vice-president, Alvin Rau, Zurich; secretary -treasurer, Alfred Warner, Bayfield. ed as president of the Unit for 1955, the meeting reviewed the year's progress. Since a little over a year ago, when there were but four active members in the unit, the organization has grown to in- clude a branch in most of the towns in the two -counties, with active executives. 'Last year the total of $15,189 was collected inthe annual cern- paign. • Chairman of the publicity cam- paign for the Unit, Dave. Green _- (who is district editor of the Strat- ford tratford Beacon -Herald) attended the meeting . and outlined methods"by which the branches might expect to get publicity for the work. One novel idea and one growing in pop- ulartity, is that of sending a don- ation to. the Cancer Society in- stead of spending, money on flow- ers at the time of a death. The Society, upon receipt of the don- ation, sends out a suitably printed "in memoriam"card to the family ofthe deceased,” with the announ- cement that the donation has beery made _ in memory of the person who died. During 1954, reported president Stratton, the Unit cared for 41 patients, . contacted 54 more, and knew of 11 more patients who died during the year. This is a total of 106 cancer patients in the two counties of: which the Unit was aware. Also, more than 3,000 dressings were made and supplied to ed-outrint London to be nearh Clinic; transportation to the Clinic was paid in some cases; more than 60 groups had speakers and films on the cancer subject. The work rooms of this Unit are upstairs at 21 Downie Street, and visits to these rooms are in- vited by individuals or by groups. Dr. R. M. Aldis was in charge of the election of officers, which resulted as follows: Huron vice- president, Robert Sperling, God- erich; Perth vice-president, Mrs. William Sebben; secretary, Ben- son Sutter, Clinton;' treasurer, 1, W. Hornell, manager of the Bank of ` Commerce, Milverton. • Mr. Sperling was appointed the Unit representative on the board of directors of the Ontario Society, Lunch provided by the Clinton Branch was served in the lodge rooms of the Clinton XOOF follow, ing the meeting, o= Spring Show Men Attend.

Ladies Choose Draperies To Hang In Bedrooms Of Nurses' Residence It was learned at the regular monthly meeting of Clinton Hospi- tal Auidliary Monday -afternoon at the nurses's residence, that the auxiliary is co-operating with the Clinton Public Hospital Board with the purchases of furnishings for the new 19 -bed nurses' residence, which is slated to be opened here on National Hospital Day, May 12. Mrs. Harry Bali, president, said that staunch support is being glee, en the board as far as it is pos- sible, both in a financial, and ad- visory dvisory capacity.

The date of the annual Hospital Board meeting is Wednesday, February 16 and members were especially reminded by the presi- dent to attend this important func- tion, if at all possible, The meeting adopted the refiort of the finance committee as pre- sented by Mrs. •William Moriok. A tag• day will .be held in the early spring, convened once . again by Mrs. George F. Elliott. Because of the overwhelming success and popularity of the penny sale- last fall, the committee suggested an. other similar event, with a draw for prizes, on October 1, The Ball and Mutch furniture store has of- fered space for the draw.
