J,eIt., l,l raW tvdon ilrur, , P011ehere I-1 G PR P ANT Y BE IN THIS AHEA? Announcement of the decision of the Ontario Hog Producers' As- sociation to launch a producer meat -packing co-operative is of particular interest to Huron and Perth Counties, which are the two largest hog producing counties in Ontario, • Ross Love, president of Huron County Hog Producers, told the Seaforth Nows this week that there is a strong possibility that a plant will he established some- where in this area. A meeting of the executive is being held this wook to decide about setting forth the advantages of having a packing plant in this part of Western Ontario. It is understood that about ten killing plants eventually will be established throughout Ontario and possibly one processing plant, Such a plant would provide em- ployment for quite a number of persons. Seaforth, being a central point in the two counties might be con- sidered as a location, an observer said. Debentures to the extent of $53,000, bearing 6 per cent inter - ,est, have been allotted to Huron farmers. Huron County has been placed in a new zone, along with Perth, Waterloo and Wellington, This zone is the biggest hog producing zone in Ontario. Huron has boon zoned with Grey and Bruce up till now. Ontario's hog producers are go- ing into the packing business, The Ontario Hog Producers' Association Wednesday voted to integrate vertically into pig -pen - to -frying -pan operation by estab- lishing a chain of packing plants across the province in competi- tion with private firms. A meeting of the Association's county executives agreed to seek support of a debenture issue of at least $1,000,000 - preferably $6,000,000 -to set up a chain of plants that would also handle beef, lamb and veal, Delegates agreed there will be stiff competition from the large private meat -packing companies but extended support, without formal guarantees of protection, to the smaller firms. Under present plans the deben- ture money would provide operat- ing capital to support the central organization while funds to build the co-operative plants would be raised in the local areas where they are established. Association President Charles McInnis said the initial sum raise ed would pro -vide necessary funds for the period when the large private firms, expected to offer stiff competition, might put on the squeeze. The drive for funds began as soon as the vote was taken and Mr. McInnis said it will continue until the chain of abbatoirs and packing plants is set up and the FAME (Farmers' Allied Meat Enterprises) appears on meat packages on grocery shelves. J. A. Courteau, general manager of the Quebec co-operative feder- ation, suggested that slaughtering houses be put around Ontario with the main paokinghouse in the Toronto area. He said the Quebec enterprise had shown a profit of more then $1,000,000 last year and backed up his confidence in the Ontario project with a $5,000 cheque for FAME debentures. Brewers' Retail to Open at Goderich On Wednesday, November 2nd, Brewers' Warehousing will open a brewers' retail store in Goder- ich.

The Cub gives in to the Old Wolf, 2, The Cub dOos not give in to himself: To Call for Sewer ' 'e niers Immediately At a special meeting on Tues- day evening Seaforth town coun- cil considered and approved a proposal by the Ontario Water Resources Commission to declare the extension of the town sewers a winter work incentive project. All members of council were pro - sent and Mayor E. Daly presided. Councillor John Turnbull, sew- er committee chairman, read two letters from the OWRC outlining the commission's proposals. The town engineers, MacLaren and Co„ had completed their survey and tenders could be °ailed at once. The contract could be con- sidered and let early in Novem- ber. However, first it would be nec- essary for council to pass a reso- lution declaring that if the work were not approved as a winter work project it would not be done until next spring. Council passed the necessary resolution. The commission in their letter said if contract was approved and let promptly the project could get under way by the first week in December. Councillors estimated it would take about six weeks to make the extensions. The sewers will all be in the northwest section of Seaforth, along Goderich, James and Cen- tro streets, and cross streets. A sewage pump will be install- ed on 'West William street, Coun- cillors said they considered this a separate contract. The prospect of grants under a winter work project was review- ed by council. Senior govern - meats would pay 75 per cont of the wage bill, estimated to am- ount roughly at $10,000. The grant would be paid to the OWRC, who would finance the sewer exten- sion project, and they would use the money to reduce the town's obligation. The engineer's estimate of the cost of the extension project was $105,000. Councillors said the men em- ployed on the work would not necessarily need to come from the municipality. They estimated few from here would be suitable for this type of work. About ten men were estimated needed for the project; most of the work would be done by machine. Councillors were of the opinion that no street need be closed to traffic more than a week while the work is in progress. Highway traffic could be diverted to John and James streets while necess- ary from Goderich street.
