Hensall W.I. Hears
Rev. Bren. De Vries
The Rev. Bren De Vries, Exeter,
was guest speaker at the meeting
of Hensall Women's Institute when
he told of some of his hair-raising
experiences in The Netherlands
after the Germans took over. Rev,
De Vries said he joined the under-
ground when still very young and
their suffering was great as fuel
and food were next to impossible
to obtain. When the war ended he
and his wife decided Canada was
the country of their choice. In
conclusion the speaker said, if we
are to be worthy of the opportun-
ities and tremendous wealth that
we are entrusted with, we must
be aware of the necessity of these
three requirements — The develop-
ment of sturdy character, making
of a true home, and to make
church worship more important
than it is now—if we are to make
Canada as it should be.
In a discussion on money raising
projects it was decided that each
Institute member contribute an
extra dollar to be in by the March
meeting.
Mrs. George Hess and Mrs. A.
R. Orr were appointed to arrange
a social evening when husbands
and friends will be guests.
Members decided that the br-
anch provide a program number
and lunch for the April meeting
of the South Huron Hospital As-
sociation, Mrs. Basil Edwards,
Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. Harry
Horton were appointed to the
coinunittee.
Mrs. B. Edwards presided for
New Licensing
System. For
Ontario Motorists
A new system of licensing On-
tario motorists for three-year per-
iods will be introduced in 1960,
Transport Minister John Yar-
emko announces..
Mr. Yaremko said that the new
system will tie in with the point
demerit system which is becoming
effective on February 1 next.
The new three-year licences will
bear the date of the motorist's
birthday, and this date will al-
ways be the date of renewal. This
will eliminate the rush caused by
all motorists applying for licence
renewal at the same time of year.
The licence number issued to
one driver will be his for life,
or as long as he holds an Ontario
licence. These numbers will be re-
corded on a master code, which
will greatly simplify the Trans-
port Department's record keeping.
Mr. Yaremko also announced
that Ontario car owners will have
until March 18 to buy 1959 plates
which are now on sale, and that
there will be no extension beyond
this deadline. Motorists must again
present liability insurance certifi-
cates with their application, other-
wise they will have to pay an ad-
ditional $5 which will go into the
Province's Unsatisfied Judgment
Fund.
the program which included a
motto by Miss M. Ellis, "Laugh
More—Worry Less." Mrs. George
Hess, attired in Chinese costume,
sang two numbers accompanied by
Miss Greta Laramie.

Canada's Milk Preducion Hit All-Time-
High
ll-TimeIli. h In 1958; May Be Higher In 1959
WEDNESDAY, JA'NUARY 28, 1958
Milk production in Canada hits
an all-time high of 18 billion lbs.
in 1958 and is headed for another
banner year, according to Dr. H.
A. Derby, chief of Dairy Products
Division, Canada Department of
Agriculture..
He told the Dairy Fanners of
Canada convention at Calgary,
Alta., that under present condi-
tions unless the weather is very
adverse,this year's. volume of milk
may even exceed that of 1958.
Prices Too High
Dr. Derby warned.that the dairy
industry has priced itself out of
foreign markets and even limited
trading is done by subsidizing the
product. And, he noted, selling
below cost has repercussions
among trading nations, particular-
ly those whose costs are much be-
low those in Canada.
Spurred by good pastures and
feed, good herd management, and
favorable returns, the dairy farm-
er last year produced three-quart-
ers of a billion pounds more than
in 1957 ... and with fewer cows.
The increase went mainly into
butter production and the year's
total is expected to reach a record-
breaking 338 million pounds. While
the relatively high price of butter
stimulated production, it also dis-
couraged consumption, which, over
an 11 -month period, decreased by
ten million pounds.

"Economy of the Canadian dairy
industry is flourishing today," he
said, "but immediate prospects are
affected by the unsettled internat-
ional situation. Canada is depend-
ent on international trade to re-
move small surpluses which, if not
removed will depress domestic
prices."
Dr. Derby said that means must
be derived within the industry to
bring the producer and consumer
of dairy products to a position
whereby a price will be arrived at
for products that will be fair to
both seller and ultimate buyer, the
consumer.
There must be progress on two
sides, on the farm and in the
dairy. The trend of dairying is up-
wards, with industry geared for
greater output, Its success de—
pends on markets. In this tiel&
there must be enterprise and a
search for improvement all along .:
the line, he said.

Margarine
Margarine production, on the
other hand, is expected to reach
140 million pounds in 1958 — an
increase of 35 million pounds in six
years.
Said Dr. Derby: "With the wide
difference in the price of these two
products, an increase in margarine
consumption is likely to continue
unless steps are taken to bring the
price relationship of the two pro-
ducts more into line."
Cheddar cheese production for
the first 11 months last year total-
led 84 millionpounds, a decrease
of 8,000,000 pounds over the same
period of 1957. Consumption was
on the increase and domestic dis-
appearance by the end of the year
was expected to hit 78 million
pounds, or 90 per cent of total
production.
Where Milk Goes
Summing up use of milk for the
year, Dr. Derby noted: (1) The
fluid milk outlet varied little; (2)
More milk was used in the manu-
facture of butter and ice cream;
and (3) Less milk was used in
cheese and in the concentrated
whole milk industry.
