Past Office Department, Ottawa. Horticultural Society Deeply Concerned Over Mistreatment Of Flower Beds Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Ladd opened their home last Wednesday afternoon for a supper meeting of the Local Hor- ticultural Society, held to plan the coming seasons work, The futility of planting. the flower beds at the street intersections, be- cause of cars, bicycles and pedestrians carelessly crossing them, was fully discussed and it was deckled to try once more to beautify the corners, in the hope that the general public will respect the efforts of the society. A work bee will be organized at plant- ing time. Mrs. L. Scrimgeour gave a short summary of the highlights of the Pro- vincial Horticultural Society meeting she attended as a delegate, in Ilamil- ton, It was announced the local branch of the Women's institute will plant a flowering purple leaf plume in the Hor- ticultural Park to mark their 50th an- niversary ;which will he celebrated May 5th, in Memorial Hall, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Scrimgeour will also plant an ornamental tree in the park to commemorate their Goth wed- ding year. • A sale of home-made baking in aid of the Horticultural Society was ar- ranged for the end of April. Following the meeting Mrs. Ladd, who is viceapresident of the society, served a full course dinner. She was assisted in serving by Mrs. E .Wright and Mrs. C. Johnston. Forma Pastor Goes To India Rev. Glenn Beach, former Church of God pastor here, has been appointed by the Missionary .Board of the Church of God, as missionary to South India. Since leaving Blyth almost five years ago, Rev. Beach has been pastoring in Welland, Ontario, and during that time has also served on the Executive Coun- cil of the Church of God. Rev. Beach with his wife and two of their four children, Lavonne and Ruth, left for India the first part of March, where they. will replace another Cana- dian missionary, Gordon Schieck, who will be leaving: on furlough in April. Later, the Beach's will serve, as need- ed, in other Indian areas. The fine Christian influence of both Rev and Mrs. Beach is still being felt in this community, many having been led to the Lord during their ministry here, and countless others receiving strength and encouragement in the Christian life, through their godly ex- ample in word and deed. Among these, two couples have entered the ministry, Rev. and Mrs. Donald Snell, who were saved during Rev. Beach's first revival services here in the spring of 1951, and who are pastoring in Cal- gary, Alberta, and Mr. and Mrs. Don- ald Talbot, who have been going to Bible School in Camrose, and who have accepted a pastorate at Tee, Alberta. The prayers of these, and many oth- ers, will follow the Beach's, as the are once more reminded of Jesus words, "he that loseth his life, for my sake, shall find it."

No great increase in rates can be foreseen, but the prices of material and equipment have tripled over the past few years."

MORE SiGNS OF SPRING • With the coating of the warner, spring-like weather that has made its way into our district this week, also comes the usual sighting of migratory birds and animals back to our area. Mr, Ilarry Gibbons reported seeing a groundhog and a killdeer on his way home from work at the Clinton RCAF Station on Monday night, On Wednes- day morning Mr. and Mrs. Harvey 1:eatherland glimpsed a robin hopping around their premises, Started Too Early— Channel Beat Him So toms.' people nowadays save the boat or air fare between England and France by crossing under their own power that Channel swimming is no longer regarded as an outstanding feat of endurance. I suppose the reason is that the modern swimmer is better trained and therefore more ef- ficient than the old-timers. Channel swimming is not exact• ly easy, but it has become quite a commonplace affair during the August and September "season." Moreover, average times for the crossing have been brought down to roughly normal working hours. The swimmer who stays in the water for twenty-two hours or more is regarded as a slowcoach rather than the posses- sor of terrific stamina and will- power. So, for a change, I suggest we salute one of the gallant failures of the Channel swim, T. W. Bur- gess. Strictly speaking, Burgess was anything but a Channel failure, for he did succeed in making the crossing, in Septem- ber, 1911. It was his sixteenth at- tempt. This story, however, is of one of his failures, or rather a week of failures. For this extraordin- ary powerful swimmer covered roughly 110 miles in two attempt- ed crossings in the space of three days in August, 1908, when he was already forty-two years old. Each time wheather conditions were against him, yet each time he got close to the shore. All told he was in the water nearly forty-three hours. What is even more amazing for one who was so determined to swim the Channel, he scorn- ed the France to England route, which was already recognized as being the easier way, and deter- mined that if he was going to make the crossing, he would do It from the English side. He had already made ten at- tempts before our story opens. Yet he was in such a hurry to get to grips with his "old enemy" that he declared afterwards he had started off half an hour too soon. He left the Kent coast at 9,30 a.m. and climbed out of the water on to his accompanying tug at 5.30 the next morning, when only half a mile from the French shore, For the twenty hours that he was in the water he was contending with a strong north-westerly wind. He swam or drifted over fifty miles. Also, he had been carried six miles off his course by a strong cross -current. He explained that had he started thirty minutes later he would have missed that cross -current and instead would have been carried along by a fol- lowing tide. "Had that happened I would have hit the French coast at Cap Gris Nez about midnight," he declared. That half-hour miscalculation was vital, for by the time Bur- gess had realized his mistake he was already in the grip of the current. Strong swimmer though he was he could not force his way through it, writes Jef- frey Wyndham in "Tit -Bits." At this distance of time, it seems that the sensible thing would have been to turn and swim back towards England as soon as he found he was being ARS GRATIA ARTIS — This messy Iassy is Leslie Crane, a model who mingled with live pias, dead fish, a motorcycle, 200 pounds of popcorn and gallons of chocolate syrup in New York. Surrealist Salvador Dali mixed the mess up in a bin and pressed a canvas over it during a Videotaping, The results he called "Chaos and Creatiol," carried ort his course until he got clear of the current. Then he should have waited fur the fol- lowing tide. 13u1 Burgess's dogged spirit was not the type to consider turning back, even as a tactical manoeuvre. He pressed on, using up his energy but making little 01' 110 progress, He reckoned that at the time he gave up he had strength left to continue the fight for an- other two hours. But his ad- visers told him that it would be six hours before the adverse current abated sufficiently for him to be able to close the gap between himself and land. Even Tom Burgess's Yorkshire stub- bornness saw no point in con - tinning a struggle that he now realized he could not win. But he was not one to accept defeat lying down. Six hours later when, had he possessed 1 superhuman powers, he would have been treading ashore on the French coast, he had return- ed to England and was out in Dover Bay teaching a young lad to swim! Then, to prove that he was not really tired, he walked up the steep hill to Dover Castled Three days later Burgess's mother and sister, who were staying nearby, took a boat out in the Channel. The sea was any- thing but calm, and they had not been out long when waves began breaking over the bows of their craft. Wisely, they re- turned to harbour, and were amazed to hear newsboys call- ing out: "Burgess off on new Channel swim." It was true. Defying the wea- ther Burgess's indomitable spirit had driven hint into the water again, He was heading for France. Once more, as we now know, he was doomed to failure — but what a gallant failure it was. This time he had made more careful calculations as to the hour at which to start, and for a long time it seemed that he had overcome the troubles that had beset him on his previous at- tempts. He had also decided on a new plan for this attack on the Channel. As soon as he saw Calais lightship he was to swim straight for it, and then go in towards the shore. He saw the lightship all right, and made for it, according to the plan It was at this precise moment that the weather turned against hint. The wind changed, the sea became even more choppy, and once again he was forced off his course. Twenty hours had passed since he last touched solid ground, Still he struggled grimly on, Again, we now know that his stubbornness was a major cause of his failure this time, He had set a course, and he was deter- mined to stick it out, but at what cost of strength and achievement we cannot know. He had been going for nearly twenty-three hours when there came another dramatic develop- ment. So strong was the wind and tide that not even his ac- companying tug could keep to its course. Though it had been sheltering hint from the worst of the gale, the skipper now ran the terrible risk of being blown into him and running him down. Even Burgess agreed that it would be madness to continue in these circumstances. Land was still two miles off, and there was no telling how much longer the gale would last, Reluctantly, he agreed to concede victory to the Channel once more. Despite his long ordeal, he was able to strike a defiant gesture by climb- ing aboard the tug unaided. He reckoned he had covered sixty miles, and a total of 110 in the three days. In that time, he had made roughly seventy thousand arm and leg move- ments, and his only physical re- action was slight stiffness In the muscles of his left calf. Eventually he did achieve his ambition. He swam from Dover to Gris Net in September, 1911, when forty-five years of age. The successful crossing took him over twenty-two hours. World's Most Precious Button The struggling Pacific mother- of-pearl industry received valu- able aid recently—from a Paris fashion house, In one of his collections, fa- mous designer Pierre Balmain introduced the South Seas shell into several of his creations, of which the critics wrote: "The colours, line, fabrics and acces- sories were inspired by the perle oceane." One of his suits was reported to have been decorated by the "most precious button In all the world." It was of gold -lip shell, set with one of Australia's first cultured pearls. "This was just the boost that we needed," said the spokesman !or a leading Australian shell exporter. "Fashion houses all over the world are likely to fol- low M. Balmain's lead—and that will bring prosperity hack to our slivers." SHE CARES — Care of pets is part of the Camp Fire Girls' pro- • gram. This year's slogan is; "She Cares — Do You?"

Out for a stroll, Goldie came across this canine statue erected to solicit funds for animals on a London, England, sidewalk, Pay Television In Toronto Sugarplums danced through the heads of pay-TV advocates last week—danced to the cheer- ful clink -clink of silver. The coins were pouring into slots in more than 1,000 homes in a mid- dle-class suburb of Toronto call- ed Etobicoke (pronounced ee- 'rOH-bib-leo). The coins summoned up such recently released movies as "The Mating Game" (Debbie Reyn- olds, Glenn Ford) and "The Al Capone Story" (Rod Steiger), There wasn't a commercial in sight. It was just like going to a local movie house, without having to park the car or un- earth a baby-sitter. What was more, each filen cost just $1, and, of course, the whole family could watch. This was Telemeter, the fourth venture into fee -TV and the first that looked as though it might succeed. "The degree of reac- tion so far is beyond anything Human Alarm Clock Finally Retires When a still active North of England eighty -four-year-old an- nounced his retirement recently it was revealed that for sixty, yea's—believed to be a record— he had earned fees as a "human alarm clock." He was a knocker - up. Carrying a long stick, to the top of which thin wires were at- tached, this man tapped in the early morning on the bedroom windows of people who had ask- ed him to wake them so that they could get to their factory jobs punctually, The knocker -up himself was always punctual. With the aid of an alarm clock, he was usu- ally up at 3,30 a.m. He began tapping at his "clients" win- dows at about 4.30 an. And it's ' his proud boast that he never broke a window, however heavy a sleeper proved to be. Nor did he ever disturb neighbours, who didn't want to rise early, What will this knocker -up do during his retirement? "Lie in bed every morning until 6 a.m, at least," he says with a grin. "On Sundays I may get up as late as seven!" Pea -Shooter Brigade Knocking -up is a dying occu- pation in Britain nowadays, but there are still several hundred men and women who follow it. A Lancashire woman of eighty acted as knocker -up for work - people of the district for twenty- two years. Even on Sundays she woke as usual at 4 a.nn, and, not having to go her rounds, went for a walk instead! Besides her knocking -up, she did all her own work, keeping her little house spotless. She recalled many hard winters when rain and snow fell so heavily that she sometimes had to return home two or three times to change her clothes and get a hot drink. Yet she was always cheerful. Years ago, a Limehouse, Lon- don, family went through the streets in the early morning with pea -shooters, firing peas which rattled on the window -panes to wake dock workers, ISSUE 14 — 1960 we anticipated," reported 'Tele- meter president Lou Novins. Unpackaged only two and t half weeks ago in 1,000 guinea- pig homes, the system now hair some 2,000 panting subscriber' on its waiting list. Originally the plan was to limit the trial to 13,000 subscribers, but now there is talk of expanding int* 40,000 living rooms, The demand was so great that employes or- iginally trained as coin box col- lectors were being drafted to in- stall new units instead. Bow did it all %voile? First, the operators of Telemeter in Etobicoke-Famous Players Cana- dian Corp., a movie chain with 370 houses—arranged to tap lines into some 03 miles of cable laid by Canadian Bell. The tap lines are now being strung into the homes of subscribers (who pay a $5 installation charge and then 25 cents to $1 for each show they watch) and hooked into TV sets, A box about the size of a table radio, affixed atop the TV set, contains a coin slot (the box gives future credits it viewers overpay) and a dialing gadget. The dialer splits the local Channel 5—hitherto un- used in the area—into three channels. On two of these'chan- nels—A and B—subscribers van bring in movies which begin at 7 p.m. The third channel, C, is a kind of combination huckster - entertainer: During the day, at no cost, it announces the attrac- tions for the evening, and inter- laces this with music. Channel C also is being used for public- service programming—such things as Canadian Red Cross reports to the community and religious shows. To vary the movie fare, channels A and B also are beam- ing out weekend children's shows for 25 cents. Telemeter is already hatching plans to expand its programing with full-length operas, full- length ballets, and perhaps a current Broadway show. One in- triguing possibility: Pre -Broad- way plays which might be fi- nanced by viewers' coins during their tryouts. Sports projects also are a - cooking, Right now, Telemeter is showing some away -from - hone games of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. Base- ball, football, and basketball games may follow in season. One secret—until now: There is a chance the Ingemar Johans- son -Floyd Patterson heavyweight title fight in June will he shown on Etobicoke TV. Why Etobicoke? It was pick- ed, say the Telemeter people, because it is in an area where the competition of commercial TV is strong. Viewers in the suburb can receive five chan- nels—three from Buffalo, N.Y,, and one each from Toronto and nearby Hamilton, Ont. If pay- TV works in Etobicoke, the theory is, it can work anywhere, It is too early to tell yet just how much has been racked up toward paying the bills for the $1,3 million installation. But, even as with commercial TV, the Etobicoke operation has al- ready faced occasional. com- plaints. One came from a sub- scriber who squawked: "I'm get- ting my pay-TV picture for no- thing." It seems he had sub- scribed in order to control the viewing of his kids. But with the movies coming on free, he couldn't keep them away from the set. The magic box atop hie set was promptly fixed. —From NEWSWEEK PAY -AS -YOU -SEE — All eyes are on Toronto these db,N, .o sea how a recently begun experiment in pay television works out. Sponsored by a movie firm, "Telemeter" provides three chan- nels for its 2,000 subscribers. 'Two carry public service movies and news at no cost. The third shows movies currently playing at theatres — with no commercials or interruptio,ts. Cost varies from 50 cents to $2, depending upon the event. The home viewer just deposits the money in the coin box attached to his set, The box then unscrambles the picture. About Horse Sense And Non -Sense The cultural winning of the West seems to consist of half- hour segments during which no- body ever fed a horse, This Is unlike any horses that ever came to my attention back here in the jaded East, In fact, the winning of the West as so thoroughly de- picted on the air has turned out to be a rather effete prop - titian, not at all as 1 had thought. The nutritional desuetude of the horse, alone, astounds me. Indeed, the whole role of the horse in the opening of the West is an amazing thing, You see, 1 know horses. 1 was brought up with some of the best, And when a man in the picture says, "Awl raht, flank, ah reckon you better saddle mah hoss!" Hank comes back promptly with a horse all saddled, It wasn't like that. Wha-n anybody decided he'd like to go to the village, the hitching -in of a horse was a job of some dur- ,ption, and 1 always got out of it if 1 could, There were times somebody suggested I hitch in old Gertie, and I'd disappear and be gone for days. Genie was a fairly 'well -man- - nered horse who, while you were buckling the surcingle, knr.v how to levitate and kick with all four feet at once. Gerrie was a good horse, but she had no de- sire to. go to the village. While western horses never get fed, our old beasts were al- ways eating. The team would get fed before daybreak of a winter's morn, so they could chomp everything down and be ready to hitch in when we fin- ished breakfast at the house. There was a peculiar noise about a horse going from his stall to the tub for a drink which nag never been put on any sound track I've heard — the hollow ringing of his steel shoes on the hemlock planks o; the barn floor, everything accentuated by the frost in the air, and then the sucking noise a horse makes when he drinks. The western horse evidently spent all his time in the shatters, for anytime a buggy or buck- board appears, the horse is al- ready hitched in.

You began by feed• ing the horse, giving him a drink, scouring him at least somewhat with a curry or brush, and swap- ping his halter for a bridle. When you got the bridle up around the eyes, ready for the bits, tho horse would lay back his ears, close his teeth like the doors of a bank vault, and lift his head about 17, feet, barking up as he did. Thus the whole enterprise moved rearward, and if the worst happened your head -free horse bolted and would he gone until Tuesday. If you were fortu- nate, you got him bridled, and he would either stand for the rest, or you could snap him to tho harnessing rings in the barn floor. Most any horse with what is hilariously called horse sense knew enough to inflate himself against the harness. He'd stand there with his eyes bugged out, holding his breath so you couldn't tighten the straps. Fitting a harnessed horse into the fills, shatters, would make the best part of a show. You backed•the horse in, steering hitn by the bridle, and had to reach down with the other hand and bring up the fills, so they'd slide into the loops. Probably nobody, in the entire history of horse- dom, ever did this completely and right the first time, because every horse had two sides, and you had to go around. Next came the fastening of the tugs to the whiffletree. On a buggy harness you had an eye sewn into the leather tug; there was no hook or snap. The eye went over a knobbed ferrule on the end of the tree. So, you'd get one on, and by the time you'd gone around to get the other your horse would step ahead. This left you with about two feet be- tween the whiffletree and the end of the tug, and no known method of making it up. You couldn't make the horse hear you; you couldn't pull him back. The leverage on the whiffletree fought you, Water in the West is part of the story. One night we watched some unlucky wranglers suffer three days in a waterless desert, but their horses made out very well. It has also surprised me to see them kindle a rousing fire in wasteland, and come with a pail of water. Here in the lush Maine wilderness, where wood is always at hand, we don't make camp that easily. You hunt a little for the right wood, and wait for the flames to settle to embers. Everything, thus, seems to indi- cate, to me, that settling the West was a simple little picnic hardly worth mentioning. It was a great deal more work staying at home here on our eastern farms where we had work to do. One night 1 saw a prospector with two horses and three mutes bring a pail of water as he made camp. The first thing he did was wash his face in the pail. An old uncle of ours who prospected out there repeatedly told me the scarcity of water spared them toting soap. So I wonder. Anyway, the evening require- ments of five animals who have been climbing all day will ex- ceed one pail of water. 1 know, fbr h have stood at the pump handle many and many an even- ing and pumped water for just such critters until my clavicles fretted each other and made a noise like a cricket. Nobody told me these eastern animals were a fake, and that all through the Great West they had thousands of horses that never ate, drank, required grooming, or acted mean.

HEADS UP — Looking like trophies, these rabbits are having their temperatures taken at Squibb laboratories. If readings are normal, the rabbits are injected with the product to be tested, such as antibiotics, In 1959, 5,000 rabbits got about 20,000 injections. THEFARM FRONT J The future of commercial apple growing lies with the dwarf tree, II. F. Carlson, hor- ticulturist, at Michigan State University, told Western horti- culturists. He expects dwarfs rapidly to replace standard -size trees. The former make better use of the ground, and they grow so much more rapidly that they be- gin to produce harvests and pay for themmselves in the fifth year from planting. In contrast, an or- chard of standard -size trees only begins to pay its way by the ll tit year. • • • Mr. Carlson said that some types of dwarf are producing 700 to 800 bushels an acre by their eighth year, and by the 15th year one variety at Michigan State was produrting 1,300 bush- els per acre, • • * "Fifty years ago Dad set out an apple orchard for his grand- - children, Thirty years ago or- chards were planted for the chil- dren. But today's dwarf varieties permit Dad to'plant one for his own pleasure and profit," he added. He said there are other ad- vantages to dwarfs also — labor is easier to get because the trees are easier and less dangerous to pick from, and they are more adapted to machines, such as sprayers. „ • • Operating a turkey farm is not a career many women under- take. However, it is one in which Mrs. Jean Ingersoll of Michigan Valley has been very successful. She started operating Ingersoll Turkey Farm after her husband, Phillip, passed on in 1952. This year her flock of around 15,000 birds shows promise of be- ing the most profitable of any during her six years of operation of the 250 -acre turkey -produc- tion plant. During the six years, Mrs. In- gersoll has paid off heavy in- debtedness, built new ranges, and added much equipment. Two years ago she bought a half in- terest in a hatchery and produce company in a nearby town. • • * All this was in addition to im- proving the comfortable modern home and providing cultural ad- vantages for her three children, Kay, Sue, and Kerry. "I've decided tate key factor to a successful operation in this kind of venture is quality," says Mrs. Ingersoll "First -quality birds shote a higher feed -conver- sion rate, mature earlier, and finish off heavier than common strains." Quality also helps solve the marketing problem, she says. She finds her first-class birds have greater consumer appeal and keep retail customer orders coming in year after year. • • • Mrs, Ingersoll's trophy case, holding an even dozen awards on birds from the ferny, is evidence that she produces turkeys of this top quality. "Phil always carried on an Im- provement program with the .In- gersoll strain he developed," Mrs. Ingersoll recalls, "but with my dual role of homemaker and producer, and with increased production, I didn't have time to continue with it. "I looked around for two years for a strain to meet my require- ments. In securing the exclusive Kansas franchise for the Rose -A• Linda strain of broad breasted bronze from Rio LInda, Calif., 1 joined what I consider one of the best breding programs avail- able." Along with producing quality stock, it is necessary to use mod- ern management and feeding practices, maintain strict sanita• tion, and work every "angle," ac- cording to Mrs. Ingersoll, Newest practice on the farm is artificial insemination, using her own toms, Used in combination with natural mtings, fertility and profits are increased. This is the coming thing in the turkey business, she says, "Eventually, it will be uneces- sary to keep toms at all, which will be a big saving in feed — they are big eaters." Commercial feed is bought in bulk in Kansas City. It is hauled , to the farm by a livestock truck- er on return trips from the Kan- sas City stockyards. Grain is raised on the farm on available land as time permits, but it is a small portion of the amount needed, writes Lois M. Smith in The Christian Science Monitor, • • Because of labor and equip- ment costs, Mrs. Ingersoll finds it better to buy reserve supplies of corn, milo, and oats at harvest - time and store the grain In metal bins on the farm, Feeding is done daily on bal- ance formulas changed every two weeks according to age and weight. Mrs, Ingersoll estimates that feed conversion is running just above 41:1 pounds of feed for each pound of turkey pro- duced. She says that feed con- version offers a big challenge to growers interested in doing a better job. "It's a struggle for producers who do everything from pro- ducing fertile eggs to marketing live and dressed birds," says the young businesswoman, "You really have to watch the cor- ners." One profit booster for the farm is production of its own poults. Each November Mrs. In- gersoll, a licensed state selec- tion agent, personally selects about 1,500 hens and 250 toms as breeders. These produce her own flock plus some 30,000 poults a year which are sold to other producers. • • • Poults are produced in three age groups, the largest number in the earliest group. This makes the most economical use of brooder space. On June 16, 17,- 7,300 poults weir taken from the brooders and put on range. • . Having a large number of birds mature early permits more leeway in marketing. Sales are now spread out from September to December, Poults receive con- stant care, day and night, until they are grown and marketed, Last year, because of .a tight commercial market, most of the big birds went alive to Kansas City wholesalers, Several hun- dred, however, were dressed, in her modern processing plant and sold direct to the retail trade in Topeka, the state capital, a • few miles distant, • . Mrs. Ingersoll handles super- vision and financial management alone and, during hatching sea- son, commutes daily to the hat- chery in Burlington, 44 miles away, She gives much credit for her success to her two assistant man- agers. During processing and selection periods, a crew of 10 or 12 local workers is employed. An Early Robin With the spring the robin, who is ordinarily a somewhat soli- tary fellow or to be seen in pairs, suddenly becomes gregarious. When I emerge suddenly from the house they burst out of the rhododendrons in clouds. The other day_ in the shank of the winter I counted fifteen who had chosen a temporary headquar- ters in a tall maple. It was in the late afternoon and the fall- ing light threw them into sharp relief against the bare branches. With a good pair of field glasses I could make out their claws clasped around the twigs, and the effulgent colour of their breasts sharpened by the refrac- tion of the glass. At such a time when the daylight is slowly fad- ing, binoculars are truly rose- coloured glasses. But wait! Caught in a perfect focus one of them leaps into flight. Without spreading his wings he launches his body and that graceful downcurve is for all the world like that of a diver in a swan dive. The glasses fol- low him down. With a burst of his wings he slips into the depths of a tall holly, For a moment he is lost, and in seeking him out, the glasses range over the holly — a depth of deep green leaves with the rich red of the berries gleaming in clear out- line against them. Of a sudden he stands in focus again, stalwart and upright, Isis chest aglow against the deep im- penetrable greenery of the holly. With his beak agape he clasps a single red berry. Then with a sudden toss of the head it dis- appears down his throat. He ducks, plucks another, and then stands there with the berry a spot of gleaning red in his bill. Here in the framed field of my binoculars is an Audubon print come suddenly alive. — From "Thousand Acre Marsh," by Dudley Cantmett Lunt, Obey the traffic signs — they are placed there for YOUR SAFETY INDftY SCllOO1 LESSON By Rev, R. 11. 1'arren, K.A., MO. Jesus, the Master Te cher Matthew 5:1-2, 17.20; 9:14-17 Memory Selection: Jesus went about all Gaillle, leaching In their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. Mal- tese 4:23, For this quarter we study the teachings of Jesus, The official subject is, "Sermon on the Mount and Parables." The course pre- sents a detailed study of the Sermon on the Mount with a re- lated consideration of various parables as they throw light on the teachings in the sermon. The Sermon presents standards for citizens of the kingdom of God. What would Jesus, this new Teacher, say about the law given by Cod through Moses? This was of great interest to the Jews, particularly the Scribes and Pharisees, Jetts said, "Think not that I ani come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." In His death, the ceremonial law concerning sacrifices for sin, was fulfilled. No more lambs need be slain for our atonement. In Mark 7:15 He declared, "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him." Thus He set aside the en- tire set of ceremonial regulations concerning clean and unclean foods, as Mark declares in his comment, "This he said, making all meats clean." (7:19. ASV), 11 these regulations could be set aside, there is no logical reason why others of a ceremonial na- ture might not. There were still other laws in the Pentateuch which pertain to civil matters and criminal modes 01 proced- ure which were of temporary validity. See for example Deut. 21:18-21, The moral law as set forth in The Ten Commandments still stands. The Commandments ap- pear singly or in groups, various- ly expressed in many places in , the Scriptures. Jesus repeated five of them in his conversation with the rich young ruler. For the second time In my ministry. I am bringing a series o>' mel - sages on these commandments and finding a gratifying res- ponse. Men may scoff at man's law but we had better heed God's law. The parables in the lesson il- lustrate the point that the spirit- ual freedom of the Gospel could not be combined with the old Mosaic ceremonies, The new dis- pensatinn brought in by Jesus Chirst calls for more spiritual worsts' p.

Jacques -Yves Cousteau, the world's greatest undersea ex- plorer, was high and dry one Morning recently In a room on the sixth floor of a New York hotel. A glass on the breakfast table held the nearest water, but as always the restlessly imagina- tive Gallic mind was swimming among a dozen aquatic ideas. His newest, grandest dream: Building an underwater animal farm. Ile got the idea from un- dersea work as a French naval officer, and the Monaco Oceano- graphic Museum, which Cous- teau serves as director, is back- ing it. "A ship alight sink in the most deserted part of the ocean," Cousteau explained, "but one year later, the wreck is teeming with sea life." Cousteau's con- clusion: There is a tremendous amount of life in the sea that could be systematically farmed if only shelter were provided so that the sea animals could con- gregate and proliferate in eco- nomic numbers, Working on this theory, Cous- teau and his colleagues are building a "baitron" — a con- crete slab "apartment house" whose different levels could lure varying forms of sea life. On one level, for example, there are convoluted pipes for eels; on an - Blouse Bonanza PRINTED PATTiRN et sTIC S Sew -Easy blouse wardrobe — emart with skirts or slacks!

Thanks to Prince Rainier, a S- mile sweep of sea front directly below the Monaco ntuseuni has been set aside exclusively for Cousteau's biatrons. His High- ness is a Cousteau friend as well as a Cousteau supporter — one of the hundreds who• help keep the multifarious Cousteau activi- ties afloat. For the last three weeks, for example, Cousteau has been speaking before U.S. underwater sportsmen clubs in his capacity as president of the World Under- water Confederation — a fitting honor for the man who gave millions freedom in the seas through the co -invention of the Aqua -lung, the wet -suit, and the underwater scooter. In New York, he planned to confer with American engineers on his "X. boat," a radically new (and still secret) ship being built at the Cousteau-founded French Un- derseas Research Center in Mar- seines, Then, he would report on the latest cruise of his re- search ship, the Calypso, to the annual meeting of the Woods Hole (Mass.) Oceanographic In- stitution, before flying to Paris to look in on Associated Sharks, his film company, From Paris. he would fly to his "land" home in Monaco, Had the underwater explorer turned l:nd-locked entrepre- neur? Not at all. When the Calypso lowered Cousteau's saucerlike submarine, affection- ately dubbed Denise (in honor of Mrs. Cousteau), into the Mediter- ranean off Corsica for its first 1,000 -foot dive last month, the captain was one of the two-man crew aboard. At the age of 50, he dives with the best and brashest of the younger men. But to be a great explorer these days requires more than cool grace under high pressure: The ex- plorer must also be an adept publicist, skilled at raising money to support his schemes. In Cousteau's case, support has come from a variety of sources. The National Geographic Society and the French Ministry of Na- tional Education have sponsored Calypso cruises, Sales of his best-selling "The Silent World" and revenues from the film of the same name have helped. So have the admission fees of 700,- 000 annual visitors to the Monaco museum, a massive granite pile en a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean. Bu' these reve- nues are not adequate for the bold new biatron village which may cost as much as $250,000. _ "Our purpose is strictly ex- perimental," Cousteau explained. "We want to see what materials and what conditions produce what results. Later, some of our houses will be made of plastic, others of metal. Some will be sunk at 100 feet, others up to 400 feet. Some 'avenues' between the houses will be illuminated; others will have pipes for dis- tributing chemicals. "If there is a short cut in the tedious chain of life in the sea we want to find it. On land, the pig and the cow are most effi- cient pleat makers. Corn plus water equals as porker, Grass plus water equals a beefsteak "We're looking for the nie of the sea." — From NE1WS1WET TC.

Clett,1,e Well, at least I ani in good company. Or and I — that's a de- batable point? Anyway Mr. Khrushchev and I have one thing in common ... we are both re- covering from 'flu", And if com- plications for you, Mr. Khrush- chev, were the same as they were for ale you would not be doing too much talking for a change, How was your tongue, Mr, K.? After the fever had left me my tongue was so reel, swol- len, dry and cracked 1 was in absolute misery. You may re- member, Mr, K., that if you touch frozen metal with wet fin- gers they stick together. In just that way after falling asleep I would wake up to find my tongue slicking to the roof of my mouth. So, like you, Mr. K., I had to cancel several engagements. There was a pot -luck luncheon at one Institute meeting and a grandmother's meeting at an- other, both of which I had prom- ised to attend, But how could I address a sleeting with a swol- len tongue? Or do justice to a pot -luck luncheon when every morsel of food I took, instead of being chewed, would have to be rolled around in my month anci then swallowed. Such a con- dition, to say the least, would make it impossible for remarks to fall with their usual fluency from the tip of one's tongue, However, cane would have more time to think and perhaps be a little more cautious in saying what one alight clhcowise have said without tco much consider- ation. And that, I think, applies to you, Mr. Khrushchev, more than it doe, to tae. Well, so much fur ;hat. And now, barring unforeseen cou1p)is`, cations, Mr. K., it looks as fki..dr you and I might both be around for a little while yet to use our influence, good or bad, on a long-suffering public. But 1 have a problem — and it alight well be that Mr. K. and I again have something in com- mon. My doctor says — "Take off some weight — you must be eating too much!" Well, now before you get the idea I have the proportions of a porpoise let me say that I am 5 ft. 7 and weigh 150 lbs. I don't like cakes oi• pastries, hardly ever eat dessert at dinner, don't go in for snacks between meals or at bedtime. Always drink skim milk and have lots of cot- tage cheese; have very little fried food, so where can I cut down? "Ate you sure, Nurael Ian It bill or mine!" At home, and away from house, people laugh because I cat so little. "What do you live -on?" they ask. And yet I must admit the bulge amidships is definitely there. I am not allowed strenu- ous exercise so I can't help my- self that way. Incidentally I don't drink — other than tea and coffee. So where do I be- gin? Anybody any suggestions? Can someone tell me hc,w to take off ten pounds? I am not really very interested in foots so it should be easy — and yet it isn't. Oh well .. . What comes next, I wonder?

Incidentally slid anyone see the eclipse of the moon last Saturday? 1 was wandering around the house in the 5011111 hours and knew it must be taking place by the queer light but the moon was riding too high in the sky for ale to see it from any of our windows, mainly because of the metal awnings, At zero I' certainly wasn't going outside to do any moon -gazing. I thought the 1110011 could go into eclipse and out of it without any assist- ance from me — which it did. But Taffy didn't like it at nil. Several tinges he started barking and 1 noticed rabbits stuttering across the snow as if wondering what it was all about. And now the weather! Of course everyone is talking about the weather . such a long, cold winter and no let-up in sight, Apparently the last month has established some kind of a record — never once rising above 32 degrees. I have just looked up last year's columns, written in March and at that time we were battling floods, following a sudden thaw, That is something that may be in store for us again before too long - and then we may wish for the snow back again. Once we get a change in the weather there will sure be plenty of water around here, maybe some flood- ed basements, But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, This time last year we had Ross staying here while his baby brother was getting himself born. Now Ross is .three years old and Cedric has just celebrat- ed his first birthday. So many milestones come along each year in a growing family. Dee is fed up with the winter — says all she does is put on and take off snowsuits and overshoes. Oh well, the winter can't last for ever. More birds around every day; sun warm and bright. Some. time a wind will blow from the south and father will be running ditches instead of shovelling snow. If you feel downhearted think what's happening in other parts of the world. We are lucky — if we'd only stop to realize it. Strange Voyages Scrubbed and polished until every brass rail shone, the U.S. h e a v.y cruiser Northampton steamed through the Baltic one afternoon recently, its prow cleaving a passage through she thickening ice. Aboard were 1,200 officers and men togged out in their best blue winter uniforms in preparation for the civic re- ception that awaited Them at Stockholm. Alas, 25 miles from the Swed- ish capital, the Northampton got stuck in the ice. And instead of the Americans going ashore to meet their hosts, the Swedes — by the hundreds — donned ice skates and skis and sped across the ice to greet the embarrassed cruiser. "HII, WELCOME TO SWEDEN," the Swedes sprawl- ed on the ice. Capt, Harold G. Bowen Jr., the Northampton's skipper, promptly offered them coffee and cakes. Across the Bal- tic, another ship, the German freighter August Peters, was get- ting a very di Verent reception. The North German city of Kiel had forced it to move to the most remote anchorage available, and as it finally steamed away, flying the red flag of danger, Germans sighed with relief. The reason: The August Peters car-. ried a load of 28,000 shells of the deadly gas called "tabun," devel- oped by the Nazis and capable of wiping out whole cities in a mat- ter of minutes. A stockpile of ta- bun shells fell into the hands of the British at the end of World War I1, and was dumped into the Baltic. Recently, it occurred to Kiel authorities that the rust- ing of shell cases might release some of the gas, and even set off a chain -reaction explosion of [lie whole lot. Hastily, they hauled up the shells, then encased them in heavy cement -coated contain- ers, and loaded them onto the August Peters. Their next des- tination: The bottom, of the • South Atlantic.

Not long afterwards the West Middlesex Coroner, on the out- skirts of London, conducted an inquest into the deaths of a young woman and her mother. They had both been severely battered in a home they ran for old people in Ealing, The coroner's jury had no dif- ficulty in saying that the young woman's husband had murdered his wife and his mother-in-law, The murderer and the corpes in Cologne were the same. If a Scots jury had not been so sympathetic, or perhaps stupid, In 1927, at the trial in Edin- burgh of John Donald Merrett for wounding his mother, sever - a1 lives would have been spared during the next twenty-seven years. Merrett, alias Chesney, alias Milner was a crook, gun -runner and smuggler — a vicious bully, a braggart, a liar and a rat who lived off women. He was also a murderer, but Lord Alness, the Scots Judge, could hardly be expected to fore- see the future when he presided at the trial in Edinburgh. Ohesney's lies led him on two occasions to the steps of the scaf- fold. On the first occasion he was lucky, on the second he avoided the final ignominy by his own hand. In my time I have prosecuted hundreds of criminals. I have spoken to thousands, both inside and out of prison and to -day many well-meaning people say that crime is a disease and that criminals should be treated as sick persons. In many cases that is a per- lhatly correct statement, but what so many people forget le that there are a great number Criminals who indulge in a Me of crime from choice. They are not in crime because at •poverty, heredity or envlron- :pbent, but because they are idelouus and idle. John Chesney was such a per- son. He was bad from the be- ginning and was quite incapable of telling the truth to anyone, or making any attempt to earn an honest living. For such peo- ple there can ultimately be only one end, In Chesney's case the end was postponed for a few years by the intervention of the war. In 1927 Mrs. Bertha Merrett was living in Edinburgh with her only son, Jack Donald, who was then nineteen. The daughter of a wealthy merchant, who had been separated from her husband for a number of years, she lived comfortably and lavished both alVection and money upon her only child, who had decided to study art at the university. He was supposed to be attend- ing his classes, but quite un- known to his mother he was leading a very different life. Idle and dissolute and unmindful of his mother's obvious concern, he had been for some time a habitue of dance halls, public houses, low -class cafes and clubs. Obviously he was a young ras- cal and early in 1927 had embark- ed on a life of crime which he was to follow for the next twen- ty-seven years. For some time he had been robbing his mother by getting possession of her cheque book and forging her signature. Even- tually he was found out when his mother received a letter from her bank manager, disclosing the appalling slate of her bank ac- count. She showed it to her son and he then promptly shot her. She did not die immediately and during the whole time she was in hospital before her death, she never made any suggestion against him, In his address to the jury 1Vlerrett's counsel asked then! ".. , to send out this lad with a clean bill and he will never dis- honour your verdict". Unfortunately the jury were misguided enough to accept this estinlition of the prisoner and their verdict on the murder charge was "Not Proven." On a lesser charge of forgery Merrett was sentenced to twelve months in prison. The trial was remarkable for tVu h.Is t rrrCtVHVCt1tl: • so t••d",.. mn.n• 1,.. "d-'P14Tl'I is where it ends!" OFF TO ITALY — Actress Tina Louise readies her camera to take photographer's picture as she leaves for Rome. She will spend the next three months there filming a new movie, "Sapho." the number of experts who gave evidence, including the great Sir Bernard Spilsbury, who in the whole of his career gave evi- dence only twice for the defence, of which the Merrett case was one, The prisoner added to his lies by giving evidence that his mother had shot herself. It was a vastly improbable account, but apparently the jury believed him. He swiftly took advantage of this chance, Shortly after his re- lease he married and before long be was back in prison again, at - ter a string of bad cheques had caught up with him, When he came out from thio sentence he inherited a 'fortune which had been left in trust for him by hls grandfather, The Public Trustee, who was handling the affair, persuaded the young man to cttie nearly £9,000 on his wife. Under the settlement she was to receive the interest during her life, but if she died before her husband the capital would go back to him, Nobody could, of course, realize that years later that settlement was to be the girl's death war- rant. After his second release from prison Chesney persuaded his wife to join him in what he call- ed a series of adventures. For some years, right up to the 1930 outbreak of war, they were in- volved in smuggling incidents on the Continent and running con- traband and guns in the Medi- terranean. His wife left him on several occasions and throughout those years he was in prison again at least twice, In 1938 Mrs. Chesney retired to a London suburb with her mother to fun a home for old people. On the outbreak of war, Ches- ney, with complete confidence, tricked the Navy into giving him a commission. Throughout his service he was regarded by, the junior officers as a swashbuck- ling sea -dog, who had tales of fine adventure to tell and stories of fascinating people he had met, But he omitted to mention that the adventures were criminal and the "fascinating people" were in • prison, During the whole of this time he was seldom without some woman at his elbow and after the war he indulged in a riotous spree of illegal business and smuggling in Germany. But the time was running short for Ronald John Chesney and so was his money, He made desper- ate attempts to persuade his wife to divorce him or to break the trust in his favour. But Mrs, Chesney refused both his requests and that for her was the end, In 1954, by mi ingenious plan Chesney came to London from Holland by ail', murdered his wife and her mother in the old people's home and got back to flatland before he was dis- covered, However, the call went out that Ronald John Chesney was wanted for murder and so he walked into a wood near Cologne with a pistol to commit the one and only decent act in his life. Only one person followed his coffin into the cemetery, Need- less to say, it was a woman, A teacher gave her class this problem, "If there are seven flies on your desk and you kill one, how many will remain?" "One," answered her most down-to-earth pupil, "the dead one." - CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING -.

BRIEF (By Special Correspondent) The Board of the Ontario Farmers 1',tinn tact in Toronto and presented ?h( it annual brief to the cabinet, all tin itical parties, and the agricultural committee, March 15 and 16. The dele- ion led by President, G. L. Hill, w, s larger than usual, indicative of in- crea•ed Farm Union activity across the province. Highlights of the Brief 1 Daylight Saving Time was asked to he banned or universal dates set for it.; use. (^_) :1 special license classification for farm trucks, used little as compar- ed to commercial trucks, was asked fur. '1 he Government suggested a sea- sr,rial license may be introduced. This t,i l not meet Farm Union approval. ,3) Misuses of the Expropriation Act were cited. The Government promised :wine changes would be made in this Act soon. 4 1 C'ompulsary car insurance and changes in the Unsatisfied Judgement Fund were asked for. Premier Frost s;;id there would be some changes here, hut said the Fund would still exist for hit and run, and tourist accident cases. 15) It was asked that consigners names be revealed at community sal- es. The Government said they would ccntact sales managers to talk this over. WO Action on a Crop Insurance Plan was asked for. The O.F.U. was told further study was being taken and sug- gested a commission would he set up to study a plan in existence (Mani- toba )- )8) The Farm Union Plan for defi- ciency payments, based on a unit sys- tem and cost of production was review- ed, and the Provincial Government, was asked to support this plan when- ever possible. It was explained that farmers basic problem was one of "pricing" not a lack of efficiency. Among other things asked for were adequate marketing legislation, urn fu:•m text books across the province, ahd changes in the Hospitalization Plan, ♦'•44• 4 4 • i 0 A ♦ • At the Board Meeting the Hog Pro -1 ducers Marketing Board was discus- sed. Many suggestions for an improved board were brought forward. (1) An elected official shall hold of- fice not more than four years. (2) Existence of the three hoards, which are not responsible to one an- other and include the same men on each hoard registered disapproval. The average farmer is confused by this, but it was pointed out under the pres- ent plan the three boards are neces- sary. (3) A more democratic system of elections is necessary. A township di- rector should be elected by township hog producers, not county producers. All voting should be by ballot In open convention. 14) In. the event of a vote, an enum- eration is deemed necessary. The en- umerator• should he a neutral person not associated with farm organizations and nominated by a municipal council. It was suggested anyone selling hogs since 1958 be eligible to vote. (6) Interesting question - Should the. Hog Producers Marketing Board have any more authority to use the produ- cers money to further their campaign than an political party has to use the tax payers money for election cam- paign funds? (7) Disapproval of assembly yards was voiced, and the criticism directed al all truckers from H.P.M.B. was thought unjustified. Many reported truckers in their area doing an excel- lent job. (8) It is felt information coming from Hog Producers Marketing Board does not always present a true picture. In a recent Rural Co -Operator, Mr. McGinnis pointed out they would be willing to try out a new system of sale, because they had just been informed they could revert to their present plan, should the new one not work out. The door has always been open for them to do this. It is not news. (9) The advisability of an "ad••'.sory committee" to H,P.M.B, was discus- sed. It could include as well as produ- cers, someone from (1) Consumers, (2) Domestic Meat Packers (the small Stewart's Red & White Food Mark et "WHERE THE PRICES ARE RIGHT" SHOP RED and WHITE and SAVE Blyth Phone 9 We Deliver "The''Best For Less" -- "Values Unsurpassed" WESTON'S FEATURE— Bread Stuffing Reg. 29c ,. , ONLY 25c Redpath Sugar 5 lb. bag 41c Purity Flour Tea Towel Bag 25lb. 1.89 Libby's Tomato Juice, 48 oz. tins , 4 tins 1,00 Nihlets Corn, Save llc 6 tins 1.00 Sun Spun Ice Cream, half gal. 89c ;, brick 25c Golden Ripe Bananas Texas New Carrots Large Head Lettuce 2 lbs. 29c 3 bags 29c 2 heads 39c Grade A Chickens per lb. 39c Fresh Picnic Shoulders per lb. 39c Lean Hamburg per Ib. 39c Tilade and Rib Roast, Beef . per lb. 49c Peameal Cottage Rolls per lb. 43c Swift's Eversweet Sliced Bacon, 1 lb. cello pkg. 2 pkgs. 59c t packers), (3) The Transporters. It was thought a committee of this na- ture could do a lot to promote public relations, which are obviously lacking to -day, 35th ANNUAL MEETING OF HURON PRESBYTERIAL The large and enthusiastic group of women attending the 35th annual mut- ing of Iiuron Presbyterial, witnessed afresh to the deep concern of its mem- bers for the work and mission of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Un- ited Church in Canada. Morning and afternoon sessions met in Northside United Church, Seaforth, on Thursday and were chaired by the president, Mrs. William McVittie, of Blyth. The theme, "Mission to the Uttermost," set the atmosphere for all the worship services and addresses of the day. The treasurer, Mrs. J. A. Sutter, dis- closed that the 66 auxiliaries in Huron with a membership of 2,195 had con- tributed $778 more than in 1939, a total of $24,688—but still less than the allo- cation. In an all-out effort to reach the allocation for 1960, Mrs. S. A. Moote explained that for the first time, the entire amount has hcen allocated. Each auxiliary faces a higher allocation and each woman faces the challenge, "flow much more can I give to my Master?" To mark the 35th milestone the re- ports of the departmental secretaries. were presented In an unique manner, The work done .by the WMS In Huron was coinpared to a boat launched upon the sea of life. Under the direction of Mrs. II. Doig, the secretaries pre- sented the reports of their work and each was likened to some vital part of the ship. Before the eyzs of the delighted audience grew he good ship SS IIuronia, complete even to cargo, the givings, and to compass, the Bible. The hely, inst.' anion and fellowship of the morning session was fittingly climaxed -by a communion service con- ducted by T;ev. J. C. Britton. In an impressive memorial service Mrs. W, J. Greer led the Presbyterial in e•cpressing a loving tribute to 66 members who had passed to higher service during the year, Candles glowed in remembrance of Mrs. Herbert Kirkby, a past president, and of Mrs. William Johns and Mrs. Charles Ro- bertson, former executive members. On behalf of the Canadian Committee for World Refugee Year, Mrs. F. Fing- land explained the purpose for Refu- gee Year and asked for the most gen-, erous support of all MMS workers for this cause. Resolutions were present- ed by Mrs. Milan Moore, Whitechurch. Those on temperance stressed the ed- ucation of young people through com- pulsory scientific courses on the na- ure of alchohol in high schools. Others commended the federal government for its action re Refugee Year and CKNX Wingham and the Churchmen for their fine religious programs. During the day the literature table was a very popular place. The highlight of the day was the ad- . /dress by a missionary, Miss Ruth Churchill, who is serving in the city of Montreal. From her wide experi- . ence there and in several other Can-• • adian cities she spoke on the subject . "In the Shadow of the Cross." I•Iigh on Mount Royal, overlooking the city of Montreal, stands a huge cross, beautifully illuminated at night, In its shadow the church seeks to meet the needs of the people of a cosmopolitan city—the Frenchman who would be a Protestant, the frightened immigrant; alone and friendless in a strange city, the outcasts of the slums desperately needing food, clothing, friendship and guidance, Because our workers give spiritual food as well as bread, vigor- ous, self-supporting congregations have been formed by those helped. Miss Churchill has been studying In Nash- ville, Tenn., for the past few months. She told of some shocking incidents of race discrimination she had witness- ed there. But, she warned, "We make discrimination in Huron too, especially in our minds." On behalf of the Presbyterial, Mrs. E. McKinney paid fitting tribute to the work and devotion of the retiring president, Mrs. McVittie. Rev. Brit- • ton closed the meeting with prayer and the benediction.

The Farm Union has long felt the need of a supervisory group over all marketing boards. It is their opinion that this group should be a general farm organization, but since there is not one at present, the Farm Products Marketing Board should act In this capacity. Farm Union directors felt it was not the intention of the Government to get into the produce marketing business, but that this bill was designed to pro- tect producers. Directors felt the un- justified actions of the Hog Producers were responsible for the introduction of this bill, and it was urged that in- dividual farmers and farm organiza- tions get Bill 86, study it for your- selves, form their own opinions and not be influenced by other stormy lit- erature prevelant in the province at present. While it was felt there was much merit in Bill 86, Farm Uniou directors felt, in its present form, there was too much government control. The following amendments were pas- sed: - 1. The Farm Products Marketing Board shall intervene and take control of a marketing board only after the board has failed to get the necessary majority of votes in a piebesite, 2, When the Marketing) Board is again re -organized, and a new plan available, control must revert back to it. 'There should he a maximum time (2 years) the F.P.M.B, could have control, These amendments were presented to the three political parties, the Agri- cultural Committee and representa- tives of the Farm Products Marketing Board.
