ATI4F1Y - - - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1947. THE CHAMBER IN OPERATION 4ihiltol1 ,and Ditstrict Chamber of Commerce seems to +have got off to a fairly igood start. A period folf -organization off snatch a 'lady necessarily is most important, and haste should be made slowly, so that the found'a'tion for a valualbl+e and lasting contribu- tion to the life of the community may be well and truly builded. The local Chamber of Commerce has had tihe first ea'1 test of its ability to do the job dor which it in designed, as indicated by the successful general meeting of members held Tuesday elvening, and reported else- where do this issue. The various questions which cams: up for discussion were given a full airing, every member having an opportunity to • express his • opinion, and tihe general feeling was that, .takihig it by and large, con- siderable, was accomplished. Indicating the growth of the Chamber, there now are 72 ,paid up members, 'and the attendance was 55 Tues- day evening, one or two of (these not yet having joined. Reports of five standing and one special committee were presented, including Membership, Public Relations, Industrial, Retail Merchants; Tourist and Publicity, and British Flood Relief.. Only two standing committees did not report, Housing and Agriculture, but these are ex- pected to get down to business and submit reports at the next meeting. The members of the committees and those chosen to report tar them, are to 'be congratulated on comihug to grips with real problems presenting themselves hi the community. The report of the Public Relations Committee, par- tdcul'ar1y, was an excellent one, and the interest shown augurs well for future good relations between the towns- people and tihe personnel of :tihe RCAF Station. The need existing for suoh an organization as a Chamber of Com- merce was indicated in adequate fashion in the subjects discussed by the group representing the Chamber and that representing the Station. • O 0 0 GATHERING FARM STATISTICS Aresolution passed at the 'annual tmeeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture decided that thisa>tio n nit lady work with Government agencies to make the !tabulation of farm statistics more efficient, and urged that Provincial and 'local farm organizations encourage farmers to supply the necessary information. One of the first requirements of the Food and Agriculture Organisation in accomplishing its task will be complete and accurate information regarding the world's supply of foodstuffs, now and in the future. As one of the major food -producing countries, Canada must provide the facts 'about Canadian agricultural production. In order to 'secure these facts, .the Agricultural Division of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics is now distributing the 'an- nuall June survey cards, by ,which it obtains information • on ,agricultural producing units tihrotighonzt Canada. The Huron County Federation of Agriculture strongly urges all farmers to cooperate with the Bureau in completing and returning the cards as requested. This seems a sen- sible and helpful suggestion. It IS felt that some tanners may hesitate to give information to the Bureau of Statistics on the operation of 'their own farms, because they might fear that the 'information so ,provided will be used •against them for taxation purposes. There is absolutely no reason for such fear, the Federation maintains, as the information given by farmers to the. Bureau has no connection whatever 'blit& taxation. The fanner is protected by 'law !against misuse of Ms return, and his individual return is seen early by workers in the Dominion and Provincial agricultural statistical offices, These offices give out to the public and other Government 'offices, only estimates, and heavy penalties are provided by law 'agiainst the release of in- dividualreturns of fanners. Therefore, the Huron County Federation wholeheartedly invites the utmost cooperation of the farmers in this respect. O 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today It's a long lane that knows no turnings. O 0 0 At long last, Spring seems to be on the way! Maury farmers in this distmiot have been making splendid headway with their seeding, but others, situated on low- lying lands; are still behind. O 0 0 Goderich Music Club IS to be congratulated on the outstanding success of its. sixth ;annual Huron County Festival of Music. It is gradually becoming a real County function, with 'the preliminaries baking 'place in other towns as well as Gtvderioh. O 0 0 , Officers and members of 'Clinton Collegiate bnstistute Cadet Corps covered themselves with glory at !their annual innspection on the Collegiate Campus (last evening. The inspecting officer expressed himself as well pleased with their performance. Their training period has been just one delay .after another. O 0 0 It is still not too late to make your contribution to the local British Flood Relief Campaign for clothing, food and cash. Although the townwide pick-up took place yesterday, parcels may still be left at the main depot in the Town Council Chamber,,Clinton, until Friday evening, May 16. Wartime Prices Board ,Answers Questions Concerning Regulations Q: -What is the ceiling price of dairy and creamery butter and what i$ the difference between them? A:—The ceiling price on dairy but- ter is 460 per ;pound prints and the creamery butter ceiling is 56c per pound prints. These can easily be dietingoished by the labels as the mune of the class of butter fie printed on the label. Most dairybutter is sold on the local markets by the farmers who snake this butter. * * * Q: --T have received a notice that my landlord is going to raise my rent from $05 to $50, How can he do that when the legal iincreaee is supposed to be not more than 10 per cent.

A:—Yes, all bueinesses requiring a. sugar quota must have a Board license, These and dealers in coal or coke must have licenses because, even though these commodities have been removed from prices 'controls, the Board is still interested in and con- cerned with their proper supply and distribution. • * • Q: Could you tell me the ceiling price, if any, of shortening? A: ---Shortening carnes under ceil- ings regulations but the price varies according to the price which your re- tail dealers pays, ' A Nation's Health Is A Nation's Wealth B OF M LOW-COST LOANS FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"—so runs the pro- verb.
