Dalrymple, who was returned for
a second year as president, was in
charge of the 'meeting.
W. A. Gregory, Ridgetown, re-
presenting the auditors, presented
and fully explained the financial
statement. summing it up in these
words: "Every indication is for a
better year in 1956. . . Price of
cheese may be better next year.
The statement shows that there
has been an increase in sales—
butter manufactured was up con-
siderably Steady volume and
high quality . of milk are neces-

"It is most important," Mr.
Schenk stated, - "that the high
quality of milk be retained. Loss in
quality ehst the Canadian pro-
ducers $50,000 last year."
"We are • becoming more a

Ontario is comparable to other
provinces."
"The whole outlook for 1956 is
favorable to the dairy business."
George Watt, a former director
and president, and now a director
of the Ontario Cheese Producers'
Association, stated: "Cheese con-
sumption in Canada has greatly
increased, but the cheese pro-
ducers are asking that the tariff
on imported cheese be increased.
The dairy industry," Mr. Watt
claimed, 'is not doing enough ad-
vertising of its own product."
"Farmers' in this district owe
the Co-op more than they will ad-
mit," he declared.
W. H, Barlow, Woodstock, com-
plimented the Co-op on the fine

"The outl ok for cheese, is bright,"
he said, "and we hope the price

that the price is levelling off. We
are now free to trade with indi-

The
Legisiafure
(By JAMES SCOTT)
The week opened with a lively
passage over an amendment to
the Mining Act which had been in-
troduced by the Minister of Mines,
Hon. Philip Kelly. The amendment
seeks to transfer the jurisdiction
of the Mining Court to a Mining
Commissioner, appointed by the
Provincial Government. The rea-
son advanced by the, Minister for
this change was that many matters
now under review by the Mining
Court do not receive prompt ac-
tion and it was felt that the ap-
pointment of a commissioner would
accelerate the proceedings.
Mr. John Wintermeyer, Liberal,
Waterloo North, challenged the
amendment on the grounds that he
did not think the Legislature had
the power to take a function away
from the Judiciary and place it in
the hands of a government -ap-
pointed commissioner. He saw in
the amendment another move on
the part r' the Government to get•
more pow,r into its own:hands
and suggested that the Appeal
Court of Ontario be asked to rule
on whether ' r not this amendment
was const'+"tional before going any
further with the Bill.
problem of alcoholism when the
Attention was focussed on the
report of the Alcoholism Research
Foundation was tabled in the
House. In the report it was stated
that the problem has become so
serious that it may soon be nec-
essary to establish a special in-
stitution where patients who de-
cline voluntary treatment could be
committed.
EASTER AT THE Z00
COLORING CONTEST
During discussion of the Bill to
establish the Lakehead College of
Arts, Science and Technology, the
leader of the C.C.F., Mr. MacDon-
ald, doubted that enough students
would be enrolled to make it feas-
ible. The leader of the Opposition,
Mr. Oliver, said that in, his opin-
ion the opposite situation existed
and the Premier, Mr. Frost, said
that far from being too few stu-
dents it was e'xpected that college
enrolment- would be doubled with-
in the next few years and that the,
Province was contemplating the
rpening of twelve new colleges -Jo
provide at least the first two years
of .college courses.
In the debate over the Trans-
Canada pipeline, the C.C.F, Leader,
Mr. MacDonald, charged that the
existing pact gave U.S. interests
control of Alberta gas being sold
to Canadians.
This view was vigorously oppos-
ed by a number of members of.
the Government and of the Liberal
Opposition. Attention was drawn
to the fact that American capital
has helped to a very great extent
in building the fabric of this coun-
try.
A very important Bill was intro-
duced in the House on Thursday by
the Prime Minister which propos-
es setting up a Water Commission
for the Province of Ontario, fash-
ioned, in
ashioned,in many respects, upon the
Hydro set-up, There is a great deal
of interest in. this question and a
thhl need -for •leadership_in assess:_
ing the problem and determining
remedies to be applied.
Notice has been °given of the
Government's intention to intro-
duce legislation in respect to hos-
pital insurance. It is expected
that this legislation will provide
for a setting -up of a Commission
to direct hospital insurance when
it is brought into being.
The Speech from the Throne
continued with speakers from
both the Government and the Op-
position taking part in the debate.
One of the best speeches of the
session this far was made by the
Liberal member from North Wa-
terloo, Mr. John Wintermeyer. One
of the main parts • of his speech,
which was listened to intently by
Government members, was that
dealing with the Labour Relations
Act, particularly conciliation pro-
ceedings.
It is expected that the Speech
from the Throne debate will be
concluded early next week and
that the Budget will be brought
down Thursday or Friday.
Officials• of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Lands anX Forests trav-
elling in Lake Superior country,,
re joining in a search which may
change the history books of North
America. They're trying to find
stone pillars or cairns and rock -
walled pits similar to those found
by Colin MacMillan, of Marathon,
along the . northeast shores of
Lake Superior which are the sub-
tect of wide anthropological in-
terest.
Department of Lands and For-
"sts is issuing instructions to pil-
ots of the Division of Air Service
Ind to Fish and Wildlife Division
'fficiais and others who may trav-
el through this area to look for
pillars or pits and report their
findings to Prof. J. F. Mcllwraith,
noted anthropologist. Prof. Mc-
Ilwraith already has carried out
preliminary surveys of the strange
;'ructures and plans to go back to
,xcavate the pits this summer.
MacMillan's finds are divided in -
"o two parts, pits and pillars.
;ruising the shoreline aad cutting
'rails for the paper company by
which he is employed, MacMil-
' n came upon the first of the pits,
ouilt at what he terms the "third
water level" of 1iakee Superior
about 24 feet above the present
water level.
The pits are roughly 11 feet long
and nine feet wide, the excavation
being about two feet deep with a
surrounding stone wall about a
foot or more higher around them.
In a stretch of 40 to 50 miles of
one of the most isolated parts •of
;)ntario he found about fifty.
Subsequently, on an off -Shore is-
land, he found four stone pillars
about six feet high, of excellent
dry -wall construction, and another

meeting opened with the Ode, fol-
ewed by the Lord's Prayer. The

-'tine verse. There were four-
teen members present and three
visitors.
The social committee decided to
hold a card party in the hall above
the Agricultural •office in Clinton,
on March 16. The programe con-
sisted of a humorous reading by
Mrs. Brown, followed by a con-
test by Mrs. Warren Whitmore.
The meeting closed with the Home-
makers' Prayer. Lunch was then
served by Group One.
The March meeting is to be held
at the home of Mrs. Alice Lawson
on March 7. Tile roll call is to
be answered by the name of an
rish song.

Discuss Repairs
To Church Kitchen
The WA. and W.M.S. meeting of
Duff's Church, McKillop, was held
at the home of Mrs. Robert Mc-
Kercher with a good attendance of
members apd visitors. The roll
call was answered by suggestions
for the repair of the church base-
ment. It was decided to start work
on the basement as soon as the
weather permits. The W.A. are
buying new hymn books for the
church.
Mrs. Ross Gordon, WA. presi-
dent, gave a report on the execu-
tive meeting held in Clinton, The
WA. Presbytery is to be held on
May 2. Mrs. James Kerr took the
worship period. Mrs. Eldon Kerr
and Mrs. R. M. Scott read the
scripture lessons. Mrs. Gordan
Papple gave the study book.
The next meeting is to be held
at the home of Mrs. David Muir
the third Wednesday in March.
Mr. Holden closed the meeting
with- prayer. Lunch was served
by the hostess and her helpers.
on the shore opposite.
Through the years since he found
therm, he has taken several min-
eralogists and geologists to the
scene. Finally, Prof. Mcllwraith
heard about them and went in for
a preliminary survey. The pillars
are on solid rock and according
to the anthropologist there isn't
much point in excavating around
them since any artifacts left be-
hind would have been blown away
by the high winds years ago.
The pits, however, are something
else again. Under the rocky boul-
ders in and around them, chances
are that someone, sometime drop-
ped tools, bones or odds and ends
which could be identified.
V So far as is known, no one ever
has photographed the pits from the
air. Are they in any sort of regu-
lar pattern? That's what pilots
of the Ontario Division of Air Ser-
vice will try to determine in their
regular patrol flights over the
area.
These are problems, however.
Can they be seen from the air
igainst the background of similar
boulders? At frequent intervals,
pilots follow the shoreline from
Sault Ste. Marie to the head of
;.he lakes, flying almost directly
ver the small harbors and
Creams near which the pits have
been found. Yet'none has reported
eeing them from the air. Now,
however, they know what to look
ror and the Department of Lands
and Forests is anxious to find out
more about the spits and cairns.
Commercial fishermen on Lake
Superior are also being asked to
help in the search, although gen-
erally the fishermen are kept busy
at their own work and haven't
much time for onshore prospect-
ing.
While the exact location of the
pits and pillars has not been di-
vulged to the public 'for fear the
-ites might be disturbed unwitting -
'.y, marked maps have been dis-
tributed to Department officials.
The shores of Lake Superior are
'enerally rough with high granite
ills and dangerous shoals abound-
ing. Few white men have ever
thoroughly "prospected" the shore-
line. There are hundreds of tiny
harbors and beaches at intervals
and, while the only practical
means of reaching them is by
boat, even boats have a hard time
getting in to shore. But one of
the best means of surveying the
general area, the Department be-
lieves, is from the air. With
planes passing over almost daily
and pilots and observers alerted
on what to look for, it is believed
more of the pits or pillars may be
spotted and marked for future sur-
vey from the ground.
Who built the cairns or pillars
frankly puzzles Prof. Mcllwraith,
he admits. He photographed them
and measured them and sent the
results to experts in Copenhagen,
since Norse relics were found at
Beardmore which isn't too far a-
way. They reported that there
was nothing in Norse history to
indicate that the Vikings had built
anything like them. There is noth-
ing in Canadian Indian culture to
show that the early Indians built
such pits. Nor is it likely that the
Eskimo ever got that far south.
They are not bonfire pits built
by wandering tourists. They are
much too large and few tourists
ever have been along that rocky
coast. Prof. Mcllwraith thinks, but
isn't sure, that they might have
been built as long as 10,000 years
ago, soon after the recission of the
enormous ice cap which once cov-
ered this area.
Prof. Mcllwraith is sure they
are not "defence" pits because of
their location on the one-time
beaches. Any native defenders
would have been foolish, he thinks,
to build such defences where they
could have been attacked from
the hills behind. Nor does he
think it likely that they were built
as duck or game hides or as
smelting pits for the copper
workers who, many years ago,
worked native deposits of copper
into tools and weapons.
Meanwhile, Department e m -

otherwisesd not to
interfere
With thepitys, or, pillars but simply'
to report their 'location. MacMil-
lan says there may be many oth-
ers
th ers along the shoreline and, far-
ther back, perhaps still ethers in
better repair. Those so far dis-
covered have been mostly on ex-
posed beachesd free of vegetation
Are there more back in the vast
areas of busbland which have been
so covered with growth that they
haven't yet been seen.?
The Department of Lands and'
Forests feels it can help a great
deal in carrying out further sur-
veys along the isolated Lake Su-
perior coast. The Department's
best "bush detectives" are now on
the trail.
