Legion Names J. T. Scott
For V.L A. Liason Work
The Seaforth Branch of the
Canadian 'Legion has . appointed
Comrade James T. Scott as its re-
presentative to assist veterans in-
terested
nterested in taking advantage of the
new Part II of the Veterans' Land
Act. He will not only act as the
contact officer with the, Provin.olal
Housing Committee of the Legion.
but will work in co-operation with
the Veterans' Land Act .staff in
counselling and assisting any dis-
trict war veterans who are eligible
for housing loans under the new
provisions.
The new Padt Il or the Act ex-
tends the provisions of the V.L.A.
to include the making of loans for
homes built on city or town sized
lots. Previously the minimum size
lot under the Act was two acres.
The change makes it possible for
veterans living within the boun-
daries of Seaforth to come under
the At:t and secure loans for build-

ling their homes, under more gen-
erous terms than previously were
available.
One of the eond{itions of V.L.A.
loans for homes in, urban centres,
according to Legion officials, is
that the veteran wont be qualified
to build his own home, and must
participate in its construction to
the maximum amount possible
with his own labor. Guidance and
supervision, however, are available
from the V.L.A. construction staff.
The veteran may sub -let contracts
to the various trades allied with
the construction industry. In this
way, the cost of the home to be
built can be reduced very consid-
erably. The maxi „ um loan avail-
able under this revision is $8,000,
with a minin i do'wn payment of
$800, which may be in the form of
land value or cash.
As the representative of the .Sea -
forth Branch of the Canadian Leg-
ion
egion in connection with this new
housing legislation for veterans,
Comrade Scott of the branch will
have at his disposal all informa-
tion regarding it, and will be an
adviser, with the assistance of the
V.L.A. staff, to all who with to
take advantage of it. Should a suf-
ficient number of veterans in Sea -
forth and the immediate vicinity
wish to participate in the benefits
of the V.L.A., for the purpose of
building homes, .night training
classes can be arranged with the
V.L.A. staff for this district.

To The Editor
Toronto, Oct. 25, 1954.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
That editorial on "London's
Milk" gave me quite a 'bang' •and
particularly the assertion that
"the capital is dependent on far-
mers all over the country for its
supplies: and milk comes from as
far north as .Camberlanda more
than 300 miles away, and from
Devonshire and Saath Wales tlq
the West . The agency which
organizes the buying and the col-
lection of the milk Londoners con-
sume every week is the Milk Mar-
keting Board. and the amount con-
sumed is about. 19 million pints a
week.,,
1 was reminded of the above pic-
ture when I noticed four distinct
and separate milk wagons on our
street—one being Dobin-powered—
delivering this vital stuff. T concur
in the conclusion that. "the prob-
lems ,here are as nothing compared
to those that exist in London, Eng-
land": but would he mighty svr-
prised if the above absurd distri-
butive duplication would he toler-
aced 'Over There'!
Everything seems to be measur-
ed by contrasts, alike for the in-
dividual, his Industry or his Coun-
try. As one of the farm leaders
pointed out the other day: "Poor
crops and low prices generally kept
the farm population in poverty
during the 1930's. And again, this
condition was reflected anon:;
those Oanadians dependent. for
their livelihood on industry. Com-
pared with the problems then Ne-
ed, the current difficulty of dispos-
ing of our surplus wheat pales in-
to insignificance."
Almost synchronising with the
above contrast, as between the so-
called 'hungry thirties' and what
1954 writers termed 'the plague of
plenty' here in North America, the
weatherman was going to work up-
on the great fields north and south
of the IT.S -'Canadia.n lane, and
within four weeks had slashed
500,000,000 bushels from the North
American 1954 wheat. crop! What
happens to our 'bread and milli' is
still mighty important to the
sophisticated folk in towns and
citiess, myriads of whom tend to
take this precious stuff for granted.
