Talk on Gun Safety
A meeting or district hunting
safety instructors was held last
Wednesday night in the town
hall, Seaforth, Pi'eslding offieer
was D. K. Meadows, Supervisor
Fish and Wild Life, Dept. of
Lauds and Forests of the Havel
er district office, Instructore and
gun licensing issuers were pre•
sent from Clinton, Exeter; Mit.
shell, Stratford and Atwood as
well as Seaforth,
Various phases of the instruc-
tion course -were reviewed and
discussed. Emphasis was put on
impressing on youths taking the
courses that a gun is at all times
dangerous—it' is often the "un-
loaded" gun that kills,
The latest accident statistics
show that there is little or no de•
crease in the number of shooting
accidents, after the intensive
safety campaign of recent years,
A demonstration was given
how to teach safely getting over
a fence with a weapon and all
agreed that ammunition first
should be removed from the gun,
The causes of various types of
recent fatal accidents' were ex-
plained and also points of law
regarding transporting guns.
Maintaining good ,public rela-
tion was another feature discus-
sed. When hunters are thought-
less and cause annoyance and
senseless damage, the result will
be the closing of many farm
lands to hunters. This is already
happening in some counties.
Hunters should be urged to
ask permission of the farmer
wherever possible before going
on his land.
In this connection Mr. Mead-
ows related about three young
men driving out to the country
for an afternoon hunt. One of
them went in and asked the far-
mer's permission.
"Sure, go ahead," the farmer
told him. "While you are about
it I would be much obliged if you
would shoot my old horse out in
the field,"
The youth said he would,
To have a bit of a joke on his
companions, he told them the
farmer had refused to let them
hunt on his farm,
"I'll get even with him", he
said, and shot the old horse.
His two friends were so scar-
ed they jumped in the car and
drovehome as fast as they
could, leaving the jokester
stranded.
Constable Andy Calder showed
a weapon that had been made in
Seaforth a couple of years ago
by a 12 -year-old boy. It consisted
of a one -inch iron pipe about
two 'feet long, closed at one end,
mounted on a stock made out of
a 2x4. The workmanship was
beautiful. The fuse of a giant

FEDERATION NEWS
At least one person has taken
exocption to my remarks regard,.
leg Federal Inspection of ineats
sold for human consumption. I
certainly have no objection to the
nest rigid inspection of meat
Products but I do object to it bee
Mg applied in discriminatory
manner, That it is unfair to the
smaller processor is shown in the
following quotation of a state.
ment by Bruce Packers of Pala
ley, made to their local weekly,
It is our fondest hope that
the present investigation on in.
edible ineats will lead to rigid
and compulsory inspection of all
meat enterprises in Canada, The
Bruce, Packers Ltd. has, since 110
inception, ptton, tried every known pro•
oedure and argument to forms in-
apection either by the province
or the dominion, but so far there
have been no interested parties.
If all taxpayers in Canada help
pay for Federal Inspection in the
big plants and our government
turns a deaf ear to giving it to
the smaller ,plants who earnestly
desire the same class of inspeo•
tion, then it is quite obvious that
large packers have a monopoly
on the meat business of Canada,
This firm has spent large sums
of monk, to keep the establish -
'flout up to date on the require-
ments set forth by the Bruce
County Health Unit. It is prepar-
ed to spend more to get into a
government class of inspection,
which till now has appeared
hopeless".
To me this points up again the
difficulties faced by the large
number of small operators in
many different fields. Efficiency
of operation doesn't seem too
competitive. Rather it is other
factors of advantage that are
forcing the little people out.
We are alarmed at the dieap.
pearance of the family farm and
we are lead to believe that farms
have to be huge. I can agree that
the family farm of the present
and future needs to be larger
than a few years ago but this is
simply because the family on the
farm today can handle a larger
acreage. Farms have been in-
creasing in size on this basi's for
years. The real problem of these
family farmers is to obtain- an
equal opportunity to purchase
supplies and to sell his product,
Since large corporations can
move into the farming business
and operate at cost or even at a
loss that can then be made up in
processing the product or in sup•
plying feed it cuts out the one
opportunity of a living income to
the one who is engaged in pro-
duction alone.
Wee have an exampleof this in
the cattle feeding operation of a
with connections through process.
Mg and retailing need no mug -
of profit in produotion. With
others entering the field of pro,
(notion, it would seem that the
only alternative for the fanner is
to take over processing and diet
tribution through Co -Operative
action;

Instructors Hear
Talk on Gun Safety
A meeting or district hunting
safety instructors was held last
Wednesday night in the town
hall, Seaforth, Pi'eslding offieer
was D. K. Meadows, Supervisor
Fish and Wild Life, Dept. of
Lauds and Forests of the Havel
er district office, Instructore and
gun licensing issuers were pre•
sent from Clinton, Exeter; Mit.
shell, Stratford and Atwood as
well as Seaforth,
Various phases of the instruc-
tion course -were reviewed and
discussed. Emphasis was put on
impressing on youths taking the
courses that a gun is at all times
dangerous—it' is often the "un-
loaded" gun that kills,
The latest accident statistics
show that there is little or no de•
crease in the number of shooting
accidents, after the intensive
safety campaign of recent years,
A demonstration was given
how to teach safely getting over
a fence with a weapon and all
agreed that ammunition first
should be removed from the gun,
The causes of various types of
recent fatal accidents' were ex-
plained and also points of law
regarding transporting guns.
Maintaining good ,public rela-
tion was another feature discus-
sed. When hunters are thought-
less and cause annoyance and
senseless damage, the result will
be the closing of many farm
lands to hunters. This is already
happening in some counties.
Hunters should be urged to
ask permission of the farmer
wherever possible before going
on his land.
In this connection Mr. Mead-
ows related about three young
men driving out to the country
for an afternoon hunt. One of
them went in and asked the far-
mer's permission.
"Sure, go ahead," the farmer
told him. "While you are about
it I would be much obliged if you
would shoot my old horse out in
the field,"
The youth said he would,
To have a bit of a joke on his
companions, he told them the
farmer had refused to let them
hunt on his farm,
"I'll get even with him", he
said, and shot the old horse.
His two friends were so scar-
ed they jumped in the car and
drovehome as fast as they
could, leaving the jokester
stranded.
Constable Andy Calder showed
a weapon that had been made in
Seaforth a couple of years ago
by a 12 -year-old boy. It consisted
of a one -inch iron pipe about
two 'feet long, closed at one end,
mounted on a stock made out of
a 2x4. The workmanship was
beautiful. The fuse of a giant
firecracker dropped into the bar-

certainly have no objection to the

Products but I do object to it bee
Mg applied in discriminatory
manner, That it is unfair to the

following quotation of a state.
ment by Bruce Packers of Pala

It is our fondest hope that
the present investigation on in.
edible ineats will lead to rigid
and compulsory inspection of all
meat enterprises in Canada, The
Bruce, Packers Ltd. has, since 110
inception, ptton, tried every known pro•
oedure and argument to forms in-
apection either by the province
or the dominion, but so far there
have been no interested parties.
If all taxpayers in Canada help
pay for Federal Inspection in the
big plants and our government
turns a deaf ear to giving it to
the smaller ,plants who earnestly
desire the same class of inspeo•
tion, then it is quite obvious that
large packers have a monopoly
on the meat business of Canada,
This firm has spent large sums
of monk, to keep the establish -
'flout up to date on the require-
ments set forth by the Bruce
County Health Unit. It is prepar-
ed to spend more to get into a
government class of inspection,
which till now has appeared
hopeless".
To me this points up again the
difficulties faced by the large
number of small operators in
many different fields. Efficiency
of operation doesn't seem too
competitive. Rather it is other
factors of advantage that are
forcing the little people out.
We are alarmed at the dieap.
pearance of the family farm and
we are lead to believe that farms
have to be huge. I can agree that
the family farm of the present
and future needs to be larger
than a few years ago but this is
simply because the family on the
farm today can handle a larger
acreage. Farms have been in-
creasing in size on this basi's for
years. The real problem of these
family farmers is to obtain- an
equal opportunity to purchase
supplies and to sell his product,
Since large corporations can
move into the farming business
and operate at cost or even at a
loss that can then be made up in
processing the product or in sup•
plying feed it cuts out the one
opportunity of a living income to
the one who is engaged in pro-
duction alone.
Wee have an exampleof this in
the cattle feeding operation of a

others entering the field of pro,

only alternative for the fanner is
to take over processing and diet
