An- swer: We think that our new mar- keting system is a step in the right direetion. but we must keep our .grading of hogs up. We agree to.do as Denmark farmers do: get One good bacon breed of hog. In Canada there are too Many differ- ent; breeds of hogs. After the discussion progressive euchre was, played.

The discussion question • was: What features, if any. of hoe marketing in the Netherland. Great Bri- tain or Denmarkdo you think might usefully be considered by Canadian farmers? A controlled marketing board for the whole of Canada; a gradual movement to- ward farmer - owned processing plants. and better quality ,bacon; pay subsidies on top quality; breed- ing sows after inspection. and an extra $2.00, at least, for grade A bacon. In Denmark they have a better system of controlled pro- duction and a government allow- ance on breeding stock. We need a controlled breeding stock system —might be a better way of in- creasing top quality bacon than bonus to grade A bacon. as in this country. The Government will have to .go after the men that keeps the sows to raise the qual- ity of pigs. In this country there are too many in and outer auction marketing, and this kills the qual- ity.

Eckert* is secretary -treasurer. Walter Scott was named chair- man of the meeting and ThOnta*, Govenlock acted as secretary. Following the treasurer's :rea:4 report, commissioner A. Campbell addressed the meeting, and in his remarks pointed out that there was much work to be done;"but that there was not enough money, left to do the work. If a, switch to dial came, all new phones would :..,.; have to be bought. Interest now ,;• is 53,4 per cent; and his view was that the system would never see ., its way out from under the load. If dial did 10 not come. for years, he contended, we might be able to -••• pull out. Commissioner George Campbell. told the meeting if another storm came "we 'are licked." Mr, .Camp- bell was referring to the extent Of damage caused by last year's storm. Walter Scott, chairman of " the boar& told the meeting that the • prospect is a change to dial could possibly take place in five years or or sooner, although nothing haaac- tually been heard: in this regard,: in any 'event, all new phones would have to be bought, and f,inaffefal ly we can not do it, be said. in View ,if the financial situation; Mr Scott said we should see if Bell will take over. They have the equipment and could change to dial at any time. J. 31 Eckert, secretary -treasurer, told the meeting savings were made in the past, but during the last two years the company has est. despite the $4.00 raise in rates some time ago. Prices have gone up. and will continue to do so, he said. Starting now in Clin- j ton. switching charges are up five cents a month, he told the Meet- , ing, "We pay Bell 8900 every month. We can't run the system at the same amount, therefore lreaatests„must go up another $500 at I Francis Gemmell, fieldman in. southern and western Ontario for the Ontario Telephone Authority, told the meeting the problem be- fore them was much the same as that faced by other small com- panies Smaller systems are not taking in enough revenue. The 1.. Municipal Board was reluctant to raise rates at the start of such small companies, and they did not insist that plants be modernized, nor was there any set-up for pro- per depreciation. As to the pres- ent problem, you will have to set- tle the question of selling or rais- ing rates among yourselves, he said If you do decide to sell, you. will have to submit such approval to the Ontario Telephone Author- ity for consideration. After much discussion which covered the collecting of bilis, it was pointed out that if a subscrib- er did not have his money ready • when the collector called. he should be penalized. One thought discon- nection should follow. and then a charge made to have service con- nected up again, A Clinton sub- scriber stated he had just as Much trouble with the dial system as he had with the old one, and found service no better. George Wheat- ley told the meeting we have no r•••,:,. choice but to raise the rates. It rate was raised there would be a gain of $2,150. The meeting approved a raise,. from $50 to $75 as salary for each-. commissioner, and also a boned of $40 to each commissioner for the extra work involved in 1955 and 1956 due to the storm ..dana- age of those years.
