Open Ag. Rep.Office
To Serve Huron
Despite blizzard conditions,
that prevented two participants
in the opening ceremonies from
reaching Clinton, the new ex-
tension branch offices of the
Ontario Department ,If Agri-
culture were opened as sche-
duled at Clinton Monday after-
noon.
Agriculture Minister Stewart
officiated at the event and cut
the ribbon during a' formal
opening ceremony. He was to
have been assisted by Steve
Stothers, of Lucknow, Huron
County's first agricultural rep-
resentative (1918 26).
Mr. Stothers and Murray 1
Gaunt (L—Huron-Bruce) were
unable to be present due to
weather conditions which left
them snowbound at t heir
homes. The same conditions
prevented many other persons
from attending.
"We should be aware that we
(farmers) are a part of a tre-
mendous business," Mr. Stew-
art said, adding that 40 per
cent of Canada's economy
deals with agriculture.
"So often farmers are in-
clined to have an inferiority
complex and are apologetic,"
he said. "Farmers contribute
greatly to the welfare of our
country."
Mr. Stewart said the picture,,
in agriculture "is an entirely
different one from the day
when most of the processing
was done on the farm."
The construction of the two-
storey brick. building, opposite
Clinton's past office, began Aug.
20 and was completed Dec. 14.
It was built by the Lavis Con-
tracting Co. Ltd., at a cost of
WOMEN'S
HOSPITAL
AUXILIARY
Mrs. M. W. Stapleton, presi-
dent of the Hospital Auxiliary,
entertained 12 ladies at her
farth home on Wednesday af-
ternoon, when a new project,
"Vanishing Lunches," w a s
launched.
Bridges, luncheon s and
euchres will be held et differ-
ent homes and with the co-op-
eration of `ladies of Seaforth
and community the auxiliary
hopes to realize the sum of
$1,000. If 'anyone would like
information on this project,
phone the bridge convener,
Mrs. Harold Whyte, phone
596-J, or euchre convener, Miss
Dorothy Parke, phone 319. .
A Hospital Auxiliary bulletin
letter is being mailed to about
325 associate members. The let-
ter states that the projects,
such as the rummage sale,
and Christmas turkey draw,
have been so successful and 'it
is with the co-operation of the
associate membersand the peo-
ple of Seaforth and district that
the auxiliary is able to have
success. Those who have work-
ed on the tuck cart ,have
brought comfort and joy to the
patients, and the auxiliary wish-
es to thank everyone Who has
helped in any way. .
$25,000 for the building alone.
The building houses offices
for the agricultural represent-
ative, D. H. Miles, his assistant
Ian McAllister, the home eco-
nomist, Miss Isabelle Gilchrist,
county dairy supervisor Ross
Bradford, as well as other of-
fices.
Mr. Stewart attributed tre-
mendous progress in agricul-
ture to the fact most practical
farmers have a "thirst and hun-
ger" to improve their lot.
"•I . believe that all that is
done in our office must be ac-
ceptable to the practical farm-
er or else it is not worthwhile,"
he said.
A pair of gold scissors was
presented by .Hon. Charles S.
MacNaughton, of Exeter, On-
tario minister of highways and
Huron MPP, to cut the ribbon
at the ceremony.
The scissors will be inscribed
with the names of Mr. Stothers
and Mr. Miles.
Mr. Miles, as master of cere
monies, introduced R. Gordon
Bennett, assistant deputy min-
ister of agriculture for Ontario,
who served as agricultural rep-
resentative in Huron County
from 1948-51; Walter J. Forbes,
warden of Huron County; May-
or W. J. Miller, of Clinton: John
Lavis, contractor, and K. E.
Lantz, of Toronto, director of
extension, department of agri-i
culture.- -

Furrow and Fallow
By FAIRBAIRN
Dairy Farmers of Canada
held their annual meeting in
London last week and in many
respects it was the one of the
three most significant conven-
tions in the organization's 21 -
year history. Their first signi-
ficant gathering was the one
which decided to break away
from the producer -processor na-
tional body and form the purely
producer group. The second
came less than ten years later
when dairy farmers decided to
embark on a national advertis-
ing and promotional program
with funds provided by produc-
ers themselves. However, since
the first June Set -Aside in 1950
to gather these funds, progress
toward achieving collection of
100 per cent of the potential
has been shrinking rather than
growing—from 59% in 1950 to
just over 50% last year. In
other words, only half the milk
producers of Canada are con-
tributing to this national cam-
paign and the other half ride
on their coat-tails.
So the third most significant
meeting was this year's which
decided to increase the funds
available. There was fairly gen-
eral approval of the proposal
to change the make-up of the
promotional organization and
its administration and to ask
dairy farmers across the coun-
try to contribute one-quarter of
one per cent of their gross to
support it. This percentage of
income would • increase one-
quarter of one per cent an-
nually until it reaches one per
cent which is considered the
amount required to do an ef-
fective public relations, adver-
tising, publicity and promotion
program. If the new deal in-
creases the percentage of the
potential collected it could
mean the Dairy Foods Service
Bureau would have nearly five
million dollars a year rather
than less than $400,000 on
which it has been operating.
Even if only half is collected,
as at present, it still means an
annual budget of 21/2 million
dollars. And finally, to bring
it down to the proposed one-
quarter of one per cent for the
next year starting in- • June,
1963,. the potential would be
about 1% million dollars.
As the Dairy Farmers of Can-
ada says in its final policy state-
ment—which incidentally was
adopted unanimously -.-the or-
ganization accepts the responsi-
bility for an immediate step-up
'n producer -sponsored advertis-
ng and plans,, for further ex-
pansion in this field. This all
sounds bright and lovely but it
's one thing for .the national
organization to accept this re-
sponsibility and another thing
to achieve the objective through
the co-operation of its mem-
bers' bodies and most particu-
arly, the milk producers them-
selves.
While wishing them every
success, we cannot help point-
ing to certain other statements
til the policy statement which
also sound lovely but scarcely
stand scrutiny. For example,
"Dairy Farmers of Canada sup-
ports measures designed to
deal with other current prob-
lems but recognizes the need
for a comprehensive and auth-
oiitative plan for the future."
Anybody could vote for such
urbane banalities—which is the
reason for them and the rea-
son for the, unanimity. Or take
this one: "A growing aware-
ness that solutions must be
found on a national rather than
a regional basis and on a dairy
industry rather than a -commod-
ity basis is apparent in the re-
sponse of delegates from across
the country". If 'a growing
awareness' means that half a
dozen instead of three delegates
a year recognize this and act
accordingly, the statement is
correct.
However, we saw and heard
little to indicate that the ma-
jority at this meeting were will-
ing to forego any of their own
interests for the good of the
whole industry. The- resolution
calling for a gradual lowering
of the support price on butter-
fat, did not pass and in the dy-
ing moments of this national
meeting a resolution from the
floor from members of the On-
tario Whole Milk League ask-
ing for support for its conten-
tion that concentrated products
similar to Multimilk be -classi-
fied as fluid products was ap-
proved. This happened despite
stubborn opposition from .On-
tario concentrate producers
which could scarcely be taken
as indicating an awareness of
the need to find solutions to
problems on an industry basis.
In regard to this latter reso-
lution, there- was considerable
feeling that it should not have
been introduced at a national
convention since • it is purely a
provincial concern at the mom-
ent. A. similar issue is also
before the courts at present.

Huron History
Is Advanced
A long-awaited history of
Huron County may be a little
nearer publication than at last
report, county council was told
at its closing session on Fri-
day. Some of the manuscript
prepared 'by James R. Scott, of
Seaforth, is being transcribed
at Goderich Clerk - Treasurer
John Berry said.
Reeve Frank Walkom, of
Goderich, made inquiry. "We
seem as far away from getting
the book as we were," he said.
"I have been asked about that,
and also what amount of mon-
ey the author received up to
date."
"The arrangement made in
1952 or thereabouts," said Mr.
Berry, "was that Professor Scott
was to receive $1,00Q a year for
five years. At the time I took
.over he received his last pay-
ment, and has received $5,000.
That was finished in 1958. Since
that time he has prepared, I
understand, 300 pages of manu-
script. Then it seems to have
lapsed into a lull for some time,
and he claimed he could not
get anyone to type his manu-
script, so I said if he would
send the material here I would
get it transcribed for him. Since
last session of council we have
transcribed, I believe, 50 or' 60
pages—not in this building. In
the last three weeks we have
received pages from him. There
is a little bit more action at
the present time."
