The subject of "Inflation and how it affects the Farmer" was dis- cussed, and the conclusions were as follows: Question 1—Do you feel that your position as a farmer has been affected by inflation? .Answer—Yes inflation has def- inately affected the farmers posit- ion, because farm produce prices have remained the same and in some cases have declined during the last ten years, but owing to in- flation the farmer's expenses such as interest rates, taxes, repairs, and farm machinery have increased sub- stantially. Quehtion 2—(a) Should Canada's government policy be designed to create maximum growth and full employment of -- (b) restrain in- flation (even when some employ- ment may be the result)? Answer—It was agreed that the government should restrain infla- tion to a certain extent even though it might cause some unem- ployment, because if inflation is not restrained Canada is sure to price herself out of the world mar- kets and if this should happen there would be more unemployment than ever. Question 3—How should it carry out your decision? Answer—Interest rates might be reduced to a certain extent and the government should use all possible influence to prevent strikes for higher wages, because every wage increase is sure to affect the farm- er in higher price for fertilizer, farm machinery, etc. Me. ,pmealaNINIIMISIBOOP When in Zurich GET YOUR HAIR CUT AT EARL OESCH BARBER SHOP Open Thursday and Saturday Nights TOP PRICES PAID FOR — ® CREAM • EGGS ,.

Certainly you don't want drover or packer control," he added.. Huron County will elect 19 mem- bers to the district committee on March 6. "The so-called confusion in the hog industry," said Mr. Boynton, "is merely an escape device for ig- norance. Producers are only trying to safe -guard their business." Speaking of the passing of bill 86, Mr. Boynton said that as a re- sult, " a very thorough analysis of our operations was made by the Pryce-Lotterhouse Company a well known firm of business analysis. It looked as though bill 85 was aimed directly at us. A study in some re- spects was rather embarrasing, but at the sametime, when the re- port was published, it indicated to all intent, either government or far mer—that there had been no mis- management of funds. In other words we got a clean bill of heal- th." "However. one point in the re- port," said the speaker, "immedia- tely acted upon, was the recommen- dation that the service be reduced to 30 cents (from 40 cents). This was done without any consultation with the OHPMB. The result was that—along with lowered markets —a loss of $9,000 per week was ex- perienced. However, after several joint meetings of the producer board, and the govenment board last summer, it was agreed that a service charge would be retsored to its oroginal amount" The service charge is levied ag- ainst the producer to cover handl- ing costs in the assembly yards. The new electoral districts across the province will cover 42 countries as of March 6. Huron County for- merly in a district with Bruce and Grey Counties, will now form a district with Middlesex County. President Love, in his report, stated that in 1960 Huron County marketed 153,000 hogs as compared to 189,808 the previous year. The assembly yards in Clinton, handled 41,000 hogs in 1960, at a cost of 11.6 cents per hog. Canada market- ed 4,626,204 hogs in 1960, of which 30.1 percent were grade As. Ontar- io last year marketed 1,702,759 of which 34.3 percent received an A grading. Speaking briefly at the well at- tended meeting, were Emerson Crocker, RR 1, Mossley, who is a Middlesex zone director, and Bert Lobb of Clinton, past president of the Duron group. One resolution presented by the resolution committee received the endorsement of the meeting, and it requested 'that the local board of the OHPA and the OHPC adopt the same 11 districts for the election of the association and co-operative zone directors, as advised and laid down by the OSPMB for the elec- tion of Zone directors for the OH- PMB with the addition of four dir- ectors at large."
