Speaking at the Seaforth Agri- cultural Society annual meeting banquet at Egmondville United Church on Thursday evening, Charles S. MacNaughton, for Huron, said a continuous sup- ply of quality products, attractive- ly merchandised ''is needed to help Canada xegain, her popsition in the United Kingdom rind Euro- pean food markets, Mr, MacNaughton spent sev eral weeks overseas last fall as a member of the Ontario trade mission investigating the possli bilities of increasing Canadian exports.'•:' It is a highly competitive mark- et, he said, and Canada will have. to do a real job of salesmanship. He stressed that the United Kingdom traditionally regards Canada as a trade supplier and we can do business over there. However we must do it by hard selling. We can't wait for them to come to us. We have to go to them with order •book in hand. Canadian prices are out of line, competitively, with world mark- ets because of our high living standards. On the other hand, Mr. MacNaughton said, it is evi- dent that the United ° Ijingdom, market will pay a premium for quality products in certain cir- cumstances. Until 'this spring they have been buying little in the dollar areas, but with easing of 'mone tary restrictions .trade will in- crease. The 1960 food' imports to the United 'Kingdom are estimated at the huge total of five billion dollars, Unable to 'produce en- ough food, they must import to eat.

Board Approval Asked about a letter sent by the Town of Seaforth to the On- tario Water Resources Commis- sion -inquiring about a new fed- eral government financing offer to municipalities for sewer work, Charles S. MacNaughton, M.P.P. for Huron who is a member of OWRC told The Seaforth News that the letter had been placed before the OWRC at a meeting last week. He said the OWRC will be glad to go into the matter further with the -town. Enlarging the project should not cause too much unnecessary delay, as lie understood that most of the engineering work was al- ready done for the complete sew- er system for Seaforth, Mr. Mac - Naughton said, The federal financing is made available through Central Mort- gage and Housing Corporation, To be eligible, an application to CMHC must first receive approv- al of the OWRC as to details of the proposed project, Approval of the Ontario Muni- cipal Board is also required, In the light of the financial support of CMHC, the Municipal Board might be more favorable to a larger sewer project in Seaforth than at the time of the previous application. The Federal Government pro- posal .provides loans through Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation to municipalities for sewer work up to two-thirds of the approved cost at a rate of 51% interest with repayment over a period of up to 50 years. If each work is completed be- fore March 31st, 1963, the govern - meat provides that 25% Of the loan Will be forgiven, Local officials state that if ap- proval can be obtained, the sewer project might be enlarged to take in the northeast portion of Seaforth, in addition to the pro- ject planned for the northwest area.
