in the morning, business meeting

An executive meeting of the On,
tarso Wheat Prodpcers was held in
Toronto on Thursday, Oct. 12.
Due
to the fact that other commodity
groupss were having difficulty
en -
Porcine their marketing schemes,
it was decided not toP ress for a.
wheat scheme at the present time.
This will be done after the pre-
sent marketing legislation has been
reviewed and we hope altered, to
give more controls of •the selling
of produce.
Farmers throughout the Province
have done a remarkable job of
storing their wheat this fall. With
the exception of a few areas, there
was not a rush of wheat onto the
market sit threshing time. At that
time /eke price offered was $1.50
per bushel. The price has now
climbed to $1.65 per bushel, and
should continue to rise as the win-
ter consumption of wheat increas-
es the demand.
We are still not receiving value
for our wheat. Today screanings
are selling for, $3.10 per cwt., or
$62 per ton. Wheat is selling for
$1.65 per bushel, $2.75 per cwt., or
$55 per ton. This is for cleaned
wheat and you can take home for
the hens or grind for the pigs
what is cleaned out of your wheat.
It would be interesting to have
a ton of screanings run through the
cleaner to see what we are get-
ting for $62 per ton.

On Sunday, Oct. 8, Mr. and Mrs.

MISS M. HARTRtY
ADDRESSES W. I.
The members of the Seaforth
Women's Institute held their Octo-
ber meeting on Tuesday of last
week at the home of Mrs. John
Davidson, Huron Road West. This
was the Citizenship Education
meeting, with Mrs. Gordon McKen-
zie and Mrs. John Davidson in
charge. The guest speaker, Miss
Maud Hartry, gave a very inter-
esting talk on "Citizenship."
The meeting opened by singing
the Institute Ode, the Mary Stew-
art Collect `and the Lord's Prayer
in unison. The minutes of the
September meeting were read and
approved. The roll call was an-
swered by "What's your beef in
the new public school curriculum."
Communications were read. includ-
ing the resolution to be presented
at the W.I.
in London.
Conference
It was decided not to apply for the
legislative grant and d also to en-
quire the cost of maintaining a
child in Europe. Also a shower
will be held for unfortunate chil-
dren. The training school for
group leaders, held in Clinton Oct.
16 and 17, was discussed. It was
decided not to cater to the McKil-
lop Federation banquet, also that
we purchase a wreath for Memor-
ial Day, Nov. 11.
The opening euchre and dance
of the season will be held in Card -
no's Hall on Friday, Oct. 27. A
reading by Mrs. John Davidson and
a piano solo by Mrs. Collins were
enjoyed. A vote of thanks was
moved to Miss Hartry, the hos-
tess, Mrs. Davidson, and all who
took part in the program.
The meeting closed with "God
Save the King," and lunch was
served.
To the Editor
Editor, The Duron Expositor:
Dear Sir: In the issue of your
paper of October 13, I notice a pic-
ture of two young men holding up,
by its outspread wings, a turkey
buzzard which they had shot on the
2nd concession of Tuckersmith.
It was luclty for those marks-
men that they weren't in Spanish.
Honduras, Central America, when
they shot that bird. On the shores
of the Caribbean Sea, the turkey
buzzard is strictly protected by
law, as it is the national scaven-
ger, keeping the beaches and jun-
gle free of decaying corpses of fish,
alligators and sundry dead carrion.
Buzzards are similarly protected
for the same reason in some of the
States on the Southern Atlantic
coast. In Honduras the penalty for
killing a turkey buzzard was 50
pesos (about $30 in our money at
that time—over 60 years ago). One
Honduran member of their legisla-
tive body once suggested that in-
stead of a fine, the offender be re-
quired to eat the dead buzzard --
raw. Soon after my arrival in the
country I shot a turkey buzzard—
the first I had ever seen—thinking
it was a wild turkey. I was
promptly haled before the Spanish
Commandante (military magis-
trate) and faced the fine or a so-
journ in the cavildat,(,jajil). Thanks
to my slight knowledge of Spanish,
I was able to convince the official
that as a newcomer from the
North, I didn't know a turkey buz-
zard was protected; that I mistook
it for a wild turkey. So he remit-
ted the fine, and I parted from him
with a fervent "much gracias,
Senor," and thanked my stars that
I hadn't been sentenced to eat the
carcass of the foul bird—raw.
If any more are seen in Tucker -
smith, don't shoot them. They
clean up the dead horses and cows
that have been dragged back to
the bush and left there to save the
trouble of burial.
Thanking you, Mr. Editor.

1. The nourishing glass of mills
from Grandma is the happy ending
to this story. It started when
Nature put aluminum in the earth
itself. That is why this important
mineral is right in the milk we drink.
2. And Nature gave aluminum
qualities that make it ideal in
contact with food. Many milk pails
.. many parte of modern mincing
machines are made of aluminum.
3. From farm to dairy ... from
country to city ... rich., wholesome
Canadian milk is being increasingly
carried in alumidum containers
to reach yon fresh and pure.
4. And to cap it all, many bottles
of milk are protection -sealed with
shining aluminum foil tops.
Ahuninum assures cleanliness for
this moat sensitive of all foods.
•
No other material is more "food -friendly”
than aluminum. Whenever you see
aluminum on the outside of a food or a
drink, there's an "inside story" of perfectly
protected flavour, quality and purity&
