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 USBORNE . A N D HIBBERT MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO.

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.

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. MILTON J.

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.
