SWIFT'S HATCHERY
week is limited. This is one ef
he reasons for the introduction
of this- type of training pro-
gram. ,g
The topic chosen for ,this
course is parliamentary proce-
dure ,or the conduct of meet-
ings, In addition to this, there
will be limited instruction on
meeting planning.
The need for this instruction
has been demonstrated time and
again hi various meetings across
the county. The most noticeable
display of this lack of knowl-
edge of parliamentary proce-
dure techniques was, to me,
that which took place at the
annual meeting of Perth Hog
Producers' Association on Feb.
8th. N, W. T. Ashton, the ag-
ricultural representative, was
chairing a portion of the meet-
ing which dealt with the elec-
tion, of officers. There was a
motion from the floor, and duly
Seconded, that the elections pro-
ceed in a manner spelled out
by the motion. A member of
the audience then attempted to
introduce an amendment that
the meeting proceed with the
elections in an entirely differ-
ent manner than that which was
proposed in the motion. Mr.
Ashton refused, and rightly so,
to accept this as an amend-
ment, stating that it was a con-
tradiction of the motion and,
as such, could not be classed
as an amendment. He explain-
ed that those proposing the
amendment could vote against
the motion, which would have
the same effect,
Mr. Ashton was absolutely
correct. The ruling on - this is
that an amendment . may: 1.
Insert or add a word, phrase
or sentence to • the motion. 2.
Strike out or delete a word,
phrase or' sentence of the mo-
tion. 3. Strike out and in-
sert another (substitute) word,
phrase or sentence. The fact
that several people, as well as
the mover of the amendment,
rose and suggested to the chair
that he would have to accept
the amendment as proposed,
shows, rather dramatically, I
think, just how little many of
us 'know about parliamentary
procedure.
We have mailed to all of the
rural groups we can think of
a notice of this forum and an
invitation to send delegates. If
we have been in error and miss-
ed your • group, please contact
this office and we will send you
an application form. The forum
will start at 10:00 a.m. with
registration. Miss Eleanor Sara -
disc, of ' Community Pro-
grammes, will introduce the
subject for the day. There will
be opportunity for questions
and discussions in small groups,
as well as in the larger gath-
ering. An •opportunity will be

Another year of expansion in
telephone facilities in Seaforth
reflected a similar situation
throughout the territory of The
Bell Telephone Company of
Canada during 1962, it was re-
vealed in the company's 83rd
annual report issued this week.
Expansion of facilities and
improvement of basic service
required expenditures of $219,-
400,000 in its operating terri-
tory of Quebec, Ontario and
Labrador. It is the largest
amount ever spent on construc-
tion during any year in the
company's history.
Telephones in service at the
end of 1962 totalled 3,890,630,
an increase of 195,523 during
the year.
W. W. Haysom, Bell manager
for this region; said telephones
in service in Seaforth totalled
1,508 at the end of 1962-900
of these being Bell Telephone
Company subscribers, the re-
mainder, subscribers of the in-
dependent companies of McKil-
lop and Tuckersmith.
Net income in 1962 totalled
$65,285,000, equivalent to $2.66
per share or a return of 6.3
per cent on invested capital.
Dividends to the company's
192,854 shareholders amounted
to $53,968,000, leaving $11,317,-
000 as retained earnings. At
the end of 1962, 97.3 per cent
of the shareholders, owning 93
per cent of the total stock, re-
sided in Canada.
As of December 31, Bell em-
ployed 35,086 men and women.
The company's payroll for the
year was $170,470,796.
BECAME LAWYER, STATES-
MAN AND SOLDIER
Arthur James Matheson was
born in Perth, Ontario, in 1842
and died in 1913. He grew up
to become a lawyer in his home-
town and was elected its may-
or. Later he rose to the pro-
vincial treasureship, acquired
his K.C., and ended his politi-
cal career as vice-president of
the International Commission.
Encyclopedia Americana also
tells us that he served in the
militia, fought the Fenians and
attained the rank of brigadier
general.
provided for delegates to get
some actual practice in meeting
procedures. A noon luncheon
will be provided.
The sponsors of this event
are the Perth . County Junior
Farmers; the Perth Federation
of Agriculture; the Agricultur-
al Office, Department of Agri-
culture, and the Community
Programmes Branch, Depart-
ment of Education.
I recommend this course to
you. It will be of benefit, not
only to the .officers, who will
be conducting the meetings of
your organization, but to ,eve.ry-
ohe who sits as a member in a
meeting. It is important that
all members know the primary
'rules of meeting procedure, so
that they may assist the chair-
man to carry out smoothly and
efficiently the business before
the meeting.
I would advise you to get
your applications in as quickly
as possible, since accommoda-
tion is limited and late appli-
cants may, of necessity, be turn-
ed away.

takes only 2 pounds of Startena to
nourish a light breed chick through
those important first five weeks. Costs
only pennies per chick.
You get high chick livability when
you bring 'em along the low-cost
Purina way. Chick Startena contains
26 Purina -Researched ingredients in-
cluding trace minerals, vitamins, and
antibiotics that combat disease.
And what's even more linportant,
Purina's exclusive Micro -Mixing

HURON FEDERATION NEWS
By ORS JOHN We
{Flo puce) ELk.IQTT
S.crotery Huron Federa-
tion of Agriculture,
(Newsitem taken front Can-
ada Poultryman: Forecast for
1963, from Guelph, Ont):
Bright — Eggs and Chicken
Broilers; Gloomy — Turkeys
(that surplus): •
What does 1963 hold for the
Canadian poultry industry? The
answer is that during the next
eight or nine months, egg pro-
ducers should enjoy the best
returns since 1958. Chicken
broiler production is likely to
continue in good relation to
market demand, at least until
after Labor Day. On the other
hand, the turkey picture is
gloomy -- figures from Ottawa
show a year-end carryover of
26 million pounds, or 73/2 mil-
lion pounds more than a cor-
responding figure a year ago.
The forecast for '63 and re-
view of '62 were made by Prof.
J. R. Cavers, head of the De-
partment ; of Poultry Science,
OAC, Guelph: He was address-
ing the Ontario Poultry Coun-
cil during . the Poultry' Indus-
trial School held at Guelph Jan-
uary 22 and 23.
Prof. Cavers blamed the
above -normal production of re-
placement chicks for causing
depressed prices and over pro-
duction of eggs in the second
and third quarters of 1962.
Cutback Achieved: Fortunate-
ly, the egg industry adjusted to
the situation long before the
low price period and achieved
a cutback of 10.3 per cent in
the first six months and for the
year. By October the egg mar-
ket was free of the burden im-
Paged by the runaway hatch of
1961 On additional 33/22 million
eggtype, chicks).
Prices Higher: He said egg
prices" are generally one to two
cents per dozen above last year
to this date^ a relationship which
should hold throughout the first
quarter of 1963. It is in the
second and third quarters that
the main price advantage will
come. Egg quality may be con-
siderably more of a problem
due to the longer holding of
flocks in lay. Settings to date
show no trend to overselling
replacement chicks this year.
Exports and imports do not
loom large in Canada's egg
trade totalling only 0.9 and 1.7
million dozens respectively in
1962. -
Broilers:. - Canada's chicken
broiler industry with a history
of major increases in produc-
tion each,year of its young life
reversed the trend in 1962. The
broiler hatch, said Prof. Cavers,
was down 4.8 per cent from the
record volume of 103.6 million
chicks in 1961. Placements were
down 3.5 per- cent, but this
was sufficient to bring about a
marked improvement in broil-
er prices throughout Canada
during the past 10 months.
Poultry Industry Loses Good
Friend: C. F. Luckham, 68, of
St. Williams, who served for 40
years with OPC, familiarly
known as "Luck", died enroute
