In view of the interest of many of my constituents I have had the fol- lowing resume of the Milk Industry Act prepared •by a senior official of the Department of Agriculture. It is hoped that it will be of value to those most intimately concerned with the legislation and clarify some points regarding which doubt may exist.. The new proposed Ontario legisla- tion, the Milk Industry Act, is re- ceiving everyone's interest at the present moment and constitutes a step forward for the dairy industry in the Province of Ontario, To date, the dairy industry within this pro- vince has been handicapped through having four separate producer or- ganizations, but as well by having different groups of producers func- tioning under separate pieces of pro- vincial legislation. Vett some time now, there has been evidence of the need of increased research with reference.to milk pro- duction, milk manufacturing, and in the merchandising of dairy products. As noted above the dairy industry has been operating under several different Acts; the Milk Control Act, the Farm Products Marketing Act, the Dairy Products Act, the Farm Products Grades and Sales .Act and the Milk and Cream Act. The new Milk Industry bill co-or- dinates into one piece of legislation all of the above Acts. It is a co- ordination of legislation already in existence to allow for more orderly administration within the govern- ment, and to allow for orderly and united thinking on the part of dairy farmers, creamery operators and milk processors. Certain sections have been revised fpr purposes of clarification, and to conform with regulations and practices already in force and accepted by the industry. Principles have not been changed. The basic administration of the Act will be administered by two Boards. The first one, the Milk Con- trol Board, which is already in ex- istence, will carry on as before with- out any curtailment of powers ex- cept that it will ,only have jurisdic- tion over the fluid milk side of the industry. The Milk Products Board, which is a new board, will adminis- ter everything other than fluid milk, which will include, cream, milk for concentration, and milk for cheese. The Milk Products Board and its staff will also be responsible for the supervision of dairy plants, the quality of milk and the general im- provement of quality of milk prod- ucts. These are not new powers, they are the same ones as have been in the past, and are currently ad- ministered by the Dairy Branch. The Bill has made provisions for the formation of a Milk Industry Commission. -It is the first time in 'Canada, where such a move has been taken by the •government to meet the needs of the dairy industry, The Commission will have equal re- presentation of dairy farmers and processors. The basic purpose of the Commission will be to give study and scrutiny to all phases of the industry and to make recommendations to the government and to any dairy organ- ization rganization within the Province of Ont- ario. It is hoped this will go a long way in providing a smoother path for the dairy farmer and the dairy industry in the future. Another most important function of the commis Sion is to promote and co-ordinate research with respect to the produc Eon and marketing of milk and milk products. Again, recognition has been given to the needs of the dairy industry as far as research is con cerned, and as well, the Commission will study the whole matter of milk quality and the health of cows. The four producer groups within the,Province of Ontario have heel streying for some time to give co ordinated action to the problems of the dairy farmers. Three and a half years ago, they formed what was known as the Ontario Dairy Produc ere Co-ordinating Board. This Board was made up of representatives iron the four dairy producer groups, The new Dairy Act has recognized this Board as one that was worth. while, and one that was needed by the in dustry, and as a result it has been set up as a legal body. The functions that they have been performing fo the past few years have been spelled out in legislation, that is, they may co-ordinate, stimulate, increase and improve the production and market ing of milk and milk products, and something that is most important they may provide facilities for the marketing of milk. This was a spe eific request by the dairy farmers so they could take some action by themselves in an attempt to take care of surplus milk, However, it must be pointed out that any action taken by the Produc- ers. Co-ordinating Board will not be arbitrary. The Board to function will require certain funds. They may recommend to the producer organiz- ations, that is, the Cream Producers Marketing Board, the Cheese Produ- cers Marketing Board, the Concen- trated Milk Producers Association and the Whole Milk Producers that for certain specific purposes, they require a certain amount of money. They have the right -to receive it but they do not have the right to take it by compulsion. At the present moment, they are receiving funds under exactly the same circumstan- ces. However, the important point is that whether or not the Co-ordin- ating Board, which possibly will be made up of the executives of the four producer groups, receives the support of the 'Cream Producers, or the Fluid Milk Producers, or the (Continued on page 5) TO IMPROVE STABLING AT FAIR GROUNDS ;Seaforth Agricultural Society plan to hold a dance, draw and presenta- tion at the Community Centre, April 20.

Society, met with representatives of the Seaforth Driving Club to discuss the possibil- ity of obtaining racing -horse stab- ling at the fair grounds. As •an out- eome of the meeting the club will tear down the present barns and re- locate them 100 feet south of the present location, on a higher level and closer to call daring racing events. The club plans to do consid- erable work on the fair grounds in the way of drainage, track up -keep and fencing. DIES IN TORONTO Charles C.

Material ivill be given out. ANNUAL MEETING OF SEAFORTH CO-OPERATIVE A President and Officers will be elected at a directors' meeting of Seaforth Farmers Co-operative on Thursday evening. Members of the .Seaforth Farmers', Co -Operative, at their annual meet- ing in Egmondviile United Church schoolroom, Thursday evening, con- sidered a recommendation of an ap- praisal committee to provide for the improvement and rearrangement of co-operative facilities, The appraisal committee, compos- ed of Alf. Walberg, manager, U.C.O. feed department; George McIver, millwright, U:C.O. feed department; N. M. Marshall, manager, Norwich eo-Operative; George Durnford, man- ager anager Harriston Co -Operative; Walter Alexander, assistant manager, locals division, 15,0,0., and Ed Schenck, 15:0.0, area supervisor, are all well known in farm co-operative circles in Ontario, The recommendation called for an expenditure of about $40,000 to pro- vide for new plant capacity and the renovation of existing structures, De- tails of the proposal went forward to members some time ago for their consideration prior to the annual meeting. The meeting voted in favor of all recommendations except the erection of a new egg -grading station at the present time. This will bring the ex- pansion xpansion program to $35,000. The appraisal committee's report, in three parts, was as follows: Part one—improvement would e physi- cal It operations: (a) un- wise to attempt to renovate the pre- sent mill facilities, as the cost, which might exceed $15,000, would be out of line with the small advant- age obtained, (b) Purchase of the old adjacent flour mill building at present price, plus extensive altera- tions to meet government standards, would not be economical or provide efficient facilities. ,(c) A new, com- pact mill should be erected directly west of the present rolling building, with a frontage of 30 feet by the full depth of 40 feet; and a new one - storey building, '70 feet by 40 feet, should be built directly adjacent to and west of the new mill, to accom- modate office, display area and the produce department. (This last item is the one not adopted by the mem- bers.) (d) Grain -storage bins in the present roller building to be lined and the main floors are to be used for storage of mill feeds and feed in- gredients. .(e) Present chopping building to be used for the storage of machinery, fencing, fertilizer, and live poultry bolding. (f) Both the pres'nt rolling and chopping build- ings to be repaired and sided with metal to match the new structures. Part two—Financing new project (a) The total cost of the project to be financed entirely by member loans to the estimated amount of $40,000. (b) There was some doubt in the minds of some of the directors whether this amount could be raised in cash, and the U.C.O. representa- tives suggest that the Co -Operators' Insurance Association might be will- ing to loan 50 per cent of the amount required, to a maximum of $20,000, on a 10 -year mortgage, subject to management agreement with U.C.O. for the duration of the mortgage. Following the presentation of their report, the advisory board procured tentative estimates, based on prelim- inary sketch plans, to the amount. of $43,000. The board also has been assured that the Co -Operators' Insur- ance Association is willing to take a mortgage to 50 per cent of the cost, or a maximum of 320 000, with the other 50 per cent of the cost having to be raised by member loans, if the recommendations of the board are approved. Members also passed the board's recommendation that dividends be paid on a revolving basis, covering the years 1943-44-45, The board declared that a two -and - one -half -per -cent deferred patron- age dividend be paid on 1953 mill business and one-half cent a dozen NORTHSIDE WMS The Easter Thankoffering meeting of the Senior Auxiliary of the Wo- men's Missionary Society of North- side Church was held on Tuesday night with Mrs, Moffat presiding. A short business meeting was held at 7.30 o'clock, when final arrange- ments were made for the Huron Presbyterial of the WMS which meets in Northside Church on April 14th, At 8 o'clock, a group of 'CGIT with Mrs. Allyson as leader, took part in a service of affiliation with the, WMS., Mrs, Moffat and Mrs. Lawson representing,: the Auxiliary.

She also had an interesting exhibit of snapshots taken at various tidies and places since their mar- riage. Her talk was much enjoyed as was also a very fine duet, suited to the Easter season, by Mrs. D. Kohl and Mrs. N. Bell of the Mae Lane Auxiliary, whose members wore guests at the meeting. Miss Lawr- ence reported that a 470 lb bale had been packed and shipped• for Korea, from the two Auxiliaries, also that the parcel for supply work was' ready to send to the Presbyterial Supply Sec.

The president's report, given by Ross McGregor, shows that the dir- ectors have been struggling with the problem of the very inefficient phys- ical layout of the mill operation. It has been obvious, he states, that there has been between five and 10 per cent lest motion deficiency in labor costs, and the capacity for in- creased volume is quite limited. The general age of the buildings hardly ,justifies the large repair expendi- tures that will soon be required. "All of us are aware," he declared, "that new owners have bought the b Tur'g- e o e i eon mill and will soon prat ng a feed outlet that could present se- vere eoinpetitien, owing to their more economical •operation." "The question of our present rental expenses of three properties in an amount exceeding $1,000 a year," the report Continues, "has given the directors much concern, slid it is felt that more voltirne could he developed, and itenro"•ed control and cosot'dinntinn by manneentent ronrd los efferted, if all nee onera- tiene were in one location."
