Caul Those of you who have been •getting rid of your old hens re- xeentiy vviill realize the need for a strong Poultry Producer's organi- zation. I was talking to a poultry dealer yesterday who quoted a price of 16 cents, for over five pounds. He also informed me that prospects were for 15 cents. The buyers claim they can impart hens. from the U.S. at a comparative price and this sets our market. Consumers may wonder haw the U.S. producer can continue at this EVENTIDE A 'N D ROCK of AGES MEMORIALS INQUIRIES ARE INVITED T.

I would again U,+ike to remind the consumer that an: 11 cent spread between Grade A large and Grade A medium eggs is; not realistic. Re- member, the quality as the same. The difference is only hi the act- ual weight per dozen. The slpread• should be about three cents. If the spread gets to be more than this the consumer should buy med- ium eggs. They are dheeper per food unit. The big spread is also bad for the producer since it pushes the retail price of the A large so high that sales drop off. if the Ontario Poultry Produc- ers could finance a small' full time staff representation could be made quickly to the government to apply import controlis to. pre- vent such a drastic drop in the price Of fowl. This same staff could also keep a steady flow of infornnation before the consumer as to the value of the different grade of eggs. Those two things would keep the customer happy and would well repay the producer for the small fee deducted from the sale of hens and eggs.

Motor Vehicles Registrar Gives Points In Proposed Driver Demerit System. A further step to protect safe drivers from chronic violaters of the Highway Traffic Act and the Grin -Anal Code will be taken when the Ontario Department af Trans- port introduces a driver demerit point system nater this year, A. G. MaoNalb Registrar of Motor Willie - les told delegates to the "Road Safety Warkslhops 1J958" in To- mato today. The safety' conference is being sponsored by the High- way Safety Branch of the Ontario Department of Transport. "To gain maximum benefit from the experience of 21 other juris- dictions in operating demerit point systems, representatives of both the Ontario Department of Trans- port and the Department of the Attorney -General have, for the past few months, made close stud- ies of these systems," Mr. MacNab said. From these studies we have a tentative point value proposal which is being studied further.

"Convictions for criminal neg- ligence involving the use of a motor vehicle, motor mansilaught- er, driving while intoidcated or vvihile ability is impaired, obtain- ing a dr'over's license by fraud, and driving while under suspension, carry the maximum point totall of 12 and mandatory suspension. Leaving the scene of an accident will carry nine demerits. Convic- tions for careless driving and ex- ceeding the speed limit by 30 m.p.h, or more carry five demerit points. Three points are assessed for exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 m.p.h., failure to yield the right of wary, improper passing, failure to obey a stop sign or signal, failure to report an accident in which someone is injured or killed or where property damage amounts to $100 or more.

"The accumulation of demerit points will take place over a con- tinuing but total period of two years, in that, two years from the date of a conviction carrying demerit points, those points are to be deducted from that driver's record," he said. .A. two-year research project has been completed by the University of North Carolina on the subject of demerit point systems and while a preliminary report has been presented to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Ad- ministrators, the final report is scheduled for presentation at a conference in San Francisco later this month.
