Perth -Huron Butchers Seek
Subsidy on Hogs
The' Independent Retailer Butchers''
Association of Perth and. Huron held
a meeting in the town hall at Sea-
f'orth Tuesday. It was unanimously
agreed thatthe retail butcher could
not continue slaughtering hogs un-
less the Dominion and provincial
governments reimbursed the butcher
to the extent of $3. per hog, to offset
the bonuses' paid by the govern.ments.I
The following resolution, passed
at the Waterloo Butchers' Associa-
tion meeting, was also adopted by
the butchers of Perth and Huron,
and copies will be sent to federal
members of parliament, L. E. Car-
diff, Brussels, W. H. Golding, Sea -
forth, and F. G. Sanderson, St.
Marys, and to W. A. Dickson, At •
-
wood, Dr. R. Hobbs Taylor, Dash- I
wood and John Hanna, Wingham,
members of the provincial parlia-I
ment:
"Inasmuch as the hasty action of
the Dominion government as to the
method of giving the bonus on hogs
will at present operate to put small
slaughterers out of business, we
resolve that the small slaughterer
should be reimbursed by the federal
and provincial governments to the
extent of at least $3 per hog to be
enabled to remain in business."
The meeting was well attended by
members from Goderich, Clinton,

Dear Sir:
Could you advise me on the fol-
lowing?
When a boy is 16 years old he has
to register. Does this mean he will
go to work in summer vacation time,
in another town? Can they take a
lad from. Huron County and send
him, a student to work away from
home in another county?
Appreciating your reply I am,
Yours truly,
Taxpayer.
As I am unable to give this in-
formation I would advise you to write
your nearest. Selective Service Board.
Editor.
