PRODUCERS TO GET
NEW INFORMATION
OF HOGS SOLD
New Regulations Are. Ex-
plained To Huron
Hog Producers.
'Members of Huron Hog Produc-
er& Association learned details of 1
new hog grading regulations which
come into effect at the end of the,
year; when W. E. Tummon, secre-
tary -treasurer of the Ontario Hog
Producers' Executive, and of the
'Ontario Hog Producers' Marketing
Board. spoke to a meeting at Clin-
ton .Tuesday night.
ME Tummon explained that the,
new regulations will have greater
weight and more validity than
these now in effect, because they
are to have behind them the•auth-
ority of the Ontario Government,
presert regulations for hog grad-
ing, 'Mr. Tummon explained, are
backed only by the authority of
tae commodity group.
Tattooing of hogs, when they are
taken by the shipper from the pro-
ducer. will have to be done under
the uew regulations, said Mr. Tum -
mon.
There were some shippers," he
observed, "who complied with the
rule, but there were others who
openly and publicly declared that
they would not comply. There was
some difficulty in enforcing bhe
regulation, because there were not
a sufficient number of tattoo irons
available. The tattoo irons being
used at that time had four letters,
and there was -a limit to the num-
ber that could be put out, so that
each: shipper and each producer
could be identified by the mark
placed on the hogs. Eventually
they succeeded in. developing a
five -letter tattoo iron, and there .is
at present scarcely any limit in
the number of irons that are avail-
able; and hence no reason from
that fact why shippers should not
comply with the regulations."
The new regulations provide that
more information must be supplied
to the hog producer about the
weight, grade and price of his
hogs. They will require, he ex-
plained, that unless a shipper, on
arrival at the packing plant, can
produce a b411 of sale for the hogs
inhis shipment, that the packer
must consider that the shipper is
acting as an agent for the produc-
er.
When the shipper acts as agent
for the producer, according to the
new regulations, the shipper must
report to the producer, at the time
of final settlement, not only the
weights, grades and prices of the
frogs, but the shipper's commission,
transportation charges and insur-
ance charges.

tember are reviewed in a state-
ment issued by the association.
The past year proved very suc-
cessful to the Women's Hospital
Aid to Scott Memorial Hospital by
putting forth untiring efforts and
meeting all the objectives strived
for. The average attendance at the
meetings was 16. The first social
event of the year was a tea and
reception for Miss Drope, held in
the nurses' residence. This was
followed by a successful tag day
at the fair. During the latter part
of October the members canvassed
the town for the annual member-
ship drive. A delegate was sent
to the hospital convention in Tor-
onto and brought ba;k a moat in-
teresting report of the meetings
she attended. Since the Aid was
so active it was decided to join
the Ontario Hospital Aid Associa-
tion.
At Ohristmas the nurses were
presented with a full-length mirror
for the residence. Their Christmas
table was brightly decorated with
favors and a centrepiece. The
patients received gifts and treats.
A silver mug, suitably engraved,
was presented to the first baby
born in the New Year. The Aid
decided to take full responsibility

"Great Future for Canada", , HA'L
Minister TellsHuron Liberals ( F R O L I C
Hon. Robert H. Winters R. . 0 ARE COWL
Addresses Annual Meet-
ing of Huron -Perth Lib-
eral Association.
There is a great future for Can-
ada and Canadians, Ron. Robert H.
Winters, M.P., Minister ' of Re-
sources and Development, told the
annual meeting of the Huron -Perth
Liberal Association Friday even-
ing. The largely attended meeting,
held in Hensall Town Hall, re-
elected W. L. Whyte, R.R. 2, Sea -
forth, as president.
Making his first visit to the rid-
ing, Mr. Winters pointed out that
the eyes of the world are on Can-
ada. "They are proud of the role
we are playing in world affairs and
particularly proud of our way of
life."
"Canada," he said, ""was growing
year by year, and with its vast na-
tural resources, particularly the
base metals found in the Great
Slave Lake area, would continue to
grow. Because of these rich de-
posits it was .not beyond a likeli-
hood that these far northern areas
would increase in population as
the country expanded."
The minister, a Nova Scotian,
said he had also visited the Yukon
and the great gold mining city of
Dawson. In that area, he said, they
are still taking gold out of the
country in as great a quantity as
in bhe days of the,tnow celebrated
gold rush of 1898.1
Canada's average income level is
high and this is one of the reasons
why the country today is the envy
of all the world. Mr. Winters be-
lieved that policies shaped by the
Liberal Government had much to
do with the growing stature of the
Dominion among the world's na-
tions.
It was not by coit:Cidence that
Canada's voice is eagerly listened
to in the councils of the United
Nations, he told the Liberals. Men
of Liberal thinking, members of
the party, had contributed to Can-
ada's progress and he believed the
Liberal party is stronger today
than when it went to the country
in 1949_
There has been crises, he noted,
but the Government had met them
fairly and squarely. He cited the
recent railway strike as one of
these, saying the Government had
.met the test and come 'through
this trouble with flying colors.
Results, too. of the Welland by-
election where a Liberal was elect-
ed indicated, he thought, that the
people had great confidence in a
Liberal administration at Ottawa.
Defence preparations by the Do-
minion would require a high level
of taxation, perhaps for years, Mr.
Winters stated. The party was for-
tunate in obtaining a leader of bhe
calibre of Hon. Louis St. Laurent,
who succeeded the late Rt. Hon.
W. L. Mackenzie King. The minis-
ter paid tribute to the many years
of valuable leadership given by Mr.
King.
"Canada is the greatest country
in the world today and I think we
are on the threshold of a still
greater Canada if we continue to
cling to Liberalism and our party."
said Mr. Winters.
Senator W. H. Golding, who for
seventeen years represented the
riding. paid tribute to the high
calibre of men in the Liberal par-
ty. He expressed the appreciation
of the association in having Mr.
Winters as speaker at the annual
meeting.
Andrew Y. McLean, M.P. Huron -
Pert'; introduced the speaker, and
during his address Mr. Winters re-
ferred to the representation Mr.
McLean was giving the riding at
Ottawa.
Other speakers at the meeting
included James Corry, M.P., At-
wood; Donald Blue, M.P., Ripley;
Russell Daly, Guelph, President of
the Western Ontario Liberal As-
sociation; Dr. Roy Campbell. of
Guelph, Past President of the Hur-
on -Perth Liberal Association; Sen-
ator W. H. Golding, Seaforth, and
A. Jeffrey, M.P., London.
Preceding the meeting a dinner
was held at Menards' in Exeter, at-
tended by members of the execu-
tive representing each of the mun-
icipalities making up the associa-
tion. Those at the dinner met Mr.
Winters at a reception at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Benson Tuckey,
Exeter.
In extending an official welcome
during the dinner, Reeve A. J.
Sweitzer, of 'Exeter, said: "I know
what we have in Exeter and I'm
proud of it. We are proud that
you have come here and I am hap-
py to welcome you."
Mr. Winters, whose home is in
Nova Scotia, replied to Reeve
Sweitzer's address of welcome. "It
is a pleasure to be here and at the
same time mention Nova Scotia.
We are the part of Canada that is
forgotten, but we do admire the
many advances that the Province
of Ontario is making. Its growth is
great and I shall be happy to go
back to Nova Scotia and tell them
just what you are doing."
Mr. Daly spoke briefly and told
of how the Western Ontario Lib-
eral Association covers 27 ridings
from Windsor to Wiarton. "We
hope to show our strength and
force at the convention in Toronto
thin year," he said. He also told
of how interested he is in organiza-
tion and said, "we should not wait
until election time before we get
interested in our Liberal activities.
