He made a strong appeal to elect a ma- jority Liberal government to carry on the nation's business. The cabinet minister said there was always uncertainty in a minority government, al- ways an atmosphere of being defeated. He dwelt on •many things the Pearson government had done, namely, municipal government loan legislation assistance to industry in designated ' areas, the $500 cash paid to home builders in the off-season, the $10 increase in old age pen- sions to meet rising cost of liv- ing. The minister praised Prime Minister Pearson for ,lis •.,work with the provinces i m setting up the Canada Pension "Our medicare plan. will pro- tect many persons against fin- ancial setbacks," the minister said. He remarked on the number of school teachers he had Met that evening, then said his ,gov ernment • had helped 42;000 students who are using the interest-free university loan plan "It is now necessary to be highly trained to meet industry demands; we need advanced training for industry," he said Then he added, "We intend to train young people to compete."

Huron Cream Producers Review Problems A small attendance of the estimated 1200 cream produc- ers lin Huron Cotinty Thursday night was at the annual:. meet - in of thesHuron County Cream Pr lacers, held in the• W Hall, Clinton. The `orb 00 ers re-elected Ray HOtt on,+ RR 2, Brussels, as president... The chairman for the nomina- tions, Gerald Carey, RR 1, Cron-; arty, director for Zone it (Perth-Huron), had a dii cu` time of it in receiving nominal. tions, as Mr. Houston, after one year in office, had announced that he wished to resign. Others named to the 1965-66 slate were Roy Williamson, RR 1, Walton, vice-president; Mrs. Florence Elliott, Clinton, the appointed secretary - treasurer; Wilfred Penfound, Londesboro; William Leeming, RR. 2, Wal- ton; Douglas Poser, RR 2, Blyth; ,. Robert Johns, R13, 1, Woodham, and Cathpbell Wey, RR 2, Walton, voting delegates, and Lorne Elford, -RR 3, Egeter, and Harold Bolger, RR 2, Blyth, as alternates. Following the meeting and .referring to receipt of dairy si{lieidy ' cheques from Ottawa, Mr. Houston said that although early returns to cream and milk prodhcer"s had .been in the mail fb some time, locally returns ?gx scattered. He said two pro- ducers he heard about had re- ceived about $218 and $209, re- spectively, for production of about 12-14 cows. One milkman has received $335 for produc- tion from 25 cows. The extra payment comes at a time when farm income is lagging behind and anyone I have talked to is , quite pleas- ed, he said, but added that the ice of creamnto t bris the abo t 72e, which is still out of line in comparison st to the increasing cost of ma- chinery and services necessary on a farm. Thg meeting approved three resolutions which will be pre- sented first to a zone meeting, and then, if approved will be s'tibf4iftted to the annual meet- ing on Nov. 16th in Toronto of the Ontario Cream Producers Marketing Board. The first petitioned the On- tario Cream Producers Market- ing Board to take adequate steps in petitioning the govern - Ment in order that legislation be passed so that all producers receive full payment for their product from factories. At "pres- ent there is no guarantee of payment to the producer for cream shipped to factories, and the -producers 'feel that there are no controls stipulating that manufacturers must. pay for the cream received. Mr. Carey, in speaking to this resolution, said that the recent Blackwood . Creamery bank- ruptcy cost patrons payments of one month, but that the total loss could have amounted to thousands of dollars to the pa- trons. He continued to say that bonding of creameries is very impractical, as the current rate would be most expensive. The group also requested in a resolution that in the set- ting up of a milk marketing board, that the Cream Produc- ers be allowed to continue to maintain their own organiza- tion, and that they be allowed to have adequate representa- tion of members on the new milk marketing board. The meeting felt that their organiza- tion is the result of" a vote of the people, and that they them- selves are best informed and. most concerned about their own business. In an effort to encourage cream producers to "stay with their product", rather than "switching" over to milk, the meeting endorsed a resolution petitioning the parent body to press for a dairy policy for 1966 to assure a return to cream producers, the equivalent of a return of $4.00 a hundred now being granted to milk pro- ducers. They also asked for a further subsidy of 10 cents per pound butterfat. Such a policy would keep, if put into effect, many millions of pounds of skim milk powder off the mar- ket. Bob Morrison, Toronto, secre- tary -manager of the Ontario Cream Producers' Marketing Board, was guest speaker.
