In fact. Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Ontario's veteran Minister of Agriculture, Who sleeted know whereof be 'speaks, claims that this Province should have a record crop year. . . And there doesn't seem to be much chance that priceswill drop off by the time the crop is har- vested. . . . C C* NORTH HURON'S NIP, ELSTON Cardiff, has been a farmer in the dairy business and should know something about it . . For this reason, the Federal Government might pay some attention to his views when he advocates, as he did in the House of Commons Friday last, that milk should be pooled and the products sold at the same price according to grade . . . If it was handled in that way: it could then be put into the production of whatever commodity was inert needed, he contended . • . * * CONTINUING, AS REPORTED" by Hansard, he said; "There us no reason why a farmer produc- ing milk on one side of the road should receive a different price from that received by the farmer on the other side of the road, simply because he sells to a • creamery, a cheese factory, a concentrated milk plant, or what have you . * * THE DOUGHTY MP ALSO ASK - ed the Minister "to tell us why the price of hogs went clown about four or five cents a pound a few weeks ago and yet the retail price of pork did mat drop at all . . . Then the price rose again after a short period . . . The only one who suffered was the farmer . . • WORKING IN THE GARDEN— in close proximity to the main street—the tether day, we hap- pened to look up from some Beck - breaking spading when we notic- ed what appeared at that distance, to be a beautiful, large black and white cat . . . We paid little attention at the moment. how- ever, and went right on with our digging * CHANCING TO GLANCE IIP again, we realized that the "cat" we had seen was none othereban a lerge skunk which was ap- proaching in our general direc- tion . , . We sensed that Mr. (or Mrs.) Skunk had not seen us, garbed as we were In our garden clothes, so, afraid of the con- sequences of a rash betrayal of our position, we stood perfectly still until the dodger (?) passed . . It did, said skunk toddling off peacefully out of harm's way . . Judging by the number seen in recent years in the downtown section, there must be quite a colony of skunks — four -legged variety — if you please — in Clinton! . . • * * REMEMBER DON FAIRBAIRN'S fine broadcast from Clinton dur- ing the Old Boys' Reunion in Clinton last August when he made many friends hereA • Well, Don broadcast from Thorn- bury last Sunday morning on the occasion of the Apple Blossom Festival . . .

Abele Medical Officer of Health, reported that Mrs. L. C. Smith, executive consultant of the Canadian Association of Oc- cupational therapists, Toronto, visited the Unit in reply to a request made for advice regard- ing the services of an occupation- al therapist in the county. The Unit was concerned with such services for handicapped lemons of all types, such as ex- san. patients, crippled children in- cluding cerebral palsy victims, arthritics and ex -mental hospital patients. Mrs. Smith agreed that such, a service was actually the concern of a public health department as it often prevented .a serious re - tense of the patient, es well as rehabilitating the person in so- ciety. She mentioned that in centres such as Ottawa there were therapists employed by voluntary organizations such as the Canadian Rheumatism and Arthritis Association. One of these workers. however, in visiting an arthritic, might 'pass right by the door of a child with cerebral noisy who inight equally benefit from her services.

POOLING MILK AS STABILIZING MARKET' FACTOR Pooling of milk production' in order that the output of melt pro- ducts might be stabilized, was urged in the House of Commons at Ottawa Friday last, by L. E. Cardiff, Progressive Conservative member for Huron North. In discussing Department of Agriculture estimates, Mr. Cardiff Said the dairy industry of Canada was in "about the worst conch - tion" tion" that it ever hod bee . One reason was the entry of cheap oils used in the manufacture'of margarine. The dairy industry could not compete against the competition given by these cheap oils. The Huron MP suggested that the products from the pooled milk should be sold at the same price, according to grade. If milk supplies were handled in this way, then the milk could be put into production of whatever commod- ity was most needed. That was the only way in which butter More than 250 were present at production could be increased to the regular meeting of ffuronic supply the demand, he submitted.
