ATKE'N - - - - - Eklitor and Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1947 CONTINUED '''sSUBSIDY SHUULD BE Ilion County fanners, ; naturally, are up in 'arms regarding the announcement that the Federal Government plans to vvitJhdralw the subsidy on coarse !grains being brought into Ontario from Western b- 3� b Canada. ' If the subsidy is withdrawn, it will mean that the farmers of this Comity will be forced to pay 25 cents more per bushel for (barley and :,wheat and ten cents more per bushel for feed oats. It mush be realized that all this feed, imported from the West, would be used in the production of vital food supplies such. as beef, pork, eggs and dairy produce. An increase in its price would seriously curtail the production of livestock and poultry products in. Huron County, a county which stands right at the top in the production of 'both. Already, the tlhreatened shortage of feed has caused many farmers to send their 'brood sows to the abattoirs, at a timne when all tlorodd saws are needed in the worst way. Britain must be fed, but how can she be fed if the drawback of increased feed ipr&Ices is put in the way? The contracts with 'Great Britain :should 'not. be jeopardized in any way. Huron County Federation of Agriculture has for- warded a number of letters to 'Ottawa, atuithoriities protest- ing the removal of the subsidy on coarse grains, These letters are being banked to the limit by Huron County's two Members of Parlilannenit—L. E. Cardiff, North Huron, and W. H. Golding, Huron-Perth–eamd, it is hoped, all • Other members representing Onbaro rural ridings. © © © 1 ONTARIO'S "VISITOR INDUSTRY" Wxat do United States visitors like about Ontario? Are they satisfied wiith our service, our courtesy? Answers to these and many other questions are being found by the Canadian. Opinion Research Division of Public Relations Services Limited, which, for the second yeas in successon, is contluoting an extensive survey of visiting Americans. Result`; of last year's survey, of some 5,000 visitors from all over the United States, indicated that '39 per cent would re'c'ommend Ontario as a vaicatnbn area; 90 per cent felt that :they got good value for their holiday dollar here; and 50 per cent rated Ontario people better than the folks in their own home state for courtesy end friendliness. On the other !land, the survey revealed a shortage of places to stay, places to eat, things to see and do in the Province, and a shortage of many types of information which visitors need in 'ad'vance on particular localities or districts. Sixty per cent felt that Ontario's highway diirectilon signs laind nnaakingts were !good, but there was considerable criticism of municipal 'street unairkinga. In the current survey, particular emphasis is given to traffic safety, a matter of great concern to the Ontario Department of Highways. Visiting Americans are being asked, among other things, 'what they think' of the are, courtesy !and commonsense of Ontario motorists and pedestrian's; the efificieney of our' highway police !patrols; and to name any locality where they have found cause for comnfplalinit about .direction signs, road :conditions, traffic congestion and parking facilities. The survey is to be continued all sum�er and well auto the fall hunting season. Hotel and resort operators, Beards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, oil companies, information bureaux, press and radio, etc., are all co- operating to reach las wide and varied group of United States visitors as possible. The amnuai influx of American money from Ou itaro's immense "visitor industry" adds over $100,000,000 to the Provinee's income every year, or about $25 per capital If any readers have fends here from the States who might have some opinions or suggestions on Ontario es a vacation land, questionnaire forms may be obtained 'from CLINTON NEWS RECORD or from Canadian Opinion Research, Inner Court, 33 Scott Street, Toronto. © © 0 RETURN TO OLD-FASHIONED "BEE" !solution of the increasing shortage of farm labor is a return to the "bee" system of haying and harvesting, according to a suggestion made by Bart G. Sullivan, Ontario Regional Superintendent of the National Employment Service. Much as we appreciate Mr. Sullivan's idea, all we can say is that, in Huron County at least, this' system was in vogue in some sections while the war was still in progress, and still is in effect at many points throughout the County. There is something about the "bee" --whether ap- plied to barn -raising, wo'od-eawhng, haying or harvesting— that strikes to responsive ohorrd in the 'hearts of the well- wishers of a healthy society. For what could be finer than the spirit shown by one farmer to 'ano'th'er in helping him out when he needs help most? It is a true exemplification of Christitan ohrarity, and we know that Huron County , fanners" are doing their best to assist each other in this eritlioal year.
