GREIG, Secretary -Treasurer and Fieldman) Poultry Producers Meet Huron County Federation of Agriculture held a Poultry Pro- ducers' meeting in the Agricult- ural Board Room, 'Clinton, on Monday, March 13, to discuss the formation of a Poultry Producers' organdzation on a County and Provincial scale. The Federation has had a three- luan Poultry Committee for sev- eral years and to this committee two more members were added. The committee now consists of Jim Scott, Seaforth, chairman; Elgin McKinley, Zurich; Harold Johns, Woodham; Harold Camp- bell, Belgrave; and Russel Knight, Brussels. Three delegates from Huron County attended a Poultry Pro ducers' meeting held in Toronto on Wednesday, March 15, called to discuss the formation of . a Provincial Poultry. Producers' Organization within, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. There wererepresentatives from nearly every county in Southern Ontario and much discussion took place regarding the Poultry In- dustries Committee and the con- nection with the proposed new organization. Mr. Luckam, the ' chairman of P.I.C. cleared the air considerably when he stated there should be no reason for conflict between the P.T.C. and the Poultry Producers' organization under the Federation. A Provisional Constitution was drafted and presented to the meeting and a Provisional Board of Directors was elected. In the Provisional Constitution seven zones were established for south- . ern Ontario end Northern On- tario to be the eighth zone. Huron, Bruce and Grey Counties are zone number six. The Provisional Board of Directors then named a Provisional Executive consist - 'The executive are now faced with a very difficult task of set- ting up a permanent organization with an ultimate aim of estab- lishing a Poultry Producers' Mar- keting Board. Now that the price of eggs are on the upward trend we do not feel the need for such a Market- ing•Board but if we had had just such an organization last edem- ber we feel confident eggs would never have gone as low as twenty five cents a dozen. if a satisfactory Marketing Plan can be drafted and •a vote es taken to endorse it, it is the duty of everyone keeping a flock of hens to get out and supppoxt or reject the plan but by all means vote, so your organization will know whether the plan meets with the approval of the Pro- ducer. a * e Protest Telegrams Sent Telegrams of pretest were sent by the Huron County Cream Producers' Committee regarding the proposed drop in the support price of butter, to Prime Minister St. Laurent, Agriculture Minister GarcLiner end local members of the Federal Government. The Ontario Cream Producers' organization presented a brief to. the Ontario Government regard- ing the manufacture and sale of margarine. This brief pointed out many irregularities in the regula- tons that gave margarine an un- fair advantage over the manufac- turer of butter. We have in our province around 70,000 Cream Producers' who lost $'7,500,000.00 in 1949 due to the introduction of margarine. This has cut the rural purchas- ing power by approximately $107 per farm on the average. Who else took a cut in wages of $107 last year? a * a Field Day Chairmen The Federation Field Day committee met on Monday, March fng of one representative from 13, and picked the chairmen for each zone. • 'a' the committees.

Despite the fact that the intensive and maintained campaign for safety by the Department received generous support and co-operation of the press, the radio, the schools, the police, many service clubs, safety organizations, the operators and drivers of commercial vehicles and many thousands of citizens, the toll of tragedy reached an all-time high. HERE IS THE 1949 RECORD eeetir Motor vehicles registered in Ontario 969,368 Tourist vehicles recorded 4,500,000. Persons killed 830 Persons injured 17,469 Property damage $9,331,659 ., THE PICTURE IN 1950 0 In 1950 there will be in operation on Ontario highways one million motor vehicles e more tourist vehicles it, the theed Province than Ontario sever tbThere will bbefore. Traffic will be much heavier, and more chances of accidents will exist. Estimated motor vehicles in 1950, 7,050,000 Estimated drivers licenses in 1950, 1,350,000 Estimated tourist,, vehicles in 1950, 5,000,000 Unless the Ontario public takes this problem of highway safety seriously to heart and everyone sets out to cut down this mounting scale of accidents, it is possible that in 1950 the death toll may reach a new shocking figure, with the number of persons injured keeping pace. With these facts in view, it behooves every manand woman, young and old, to make it a personal objective to establish and maintain safety, and to preach hat all times to schools, families, drivers and acquaintances. The Department of Iii hways is devoting all its energies to a continuous planned qattackuon accidents. The earnest teamwork of all citizens and organizations is re: ested, • It is a common cause that, all of us can aid for the general good. GEO; H; DOU..CETT Minister of Highway*
