Some 24 agents and conm.tit-
tee men and their wives at-
tended a chicken barbecue at
Inwood on Sept. 13, in honor of
the most successful agents of
Co-op. Insurance in the London
Division.
This Co-operative, originated
by the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture and later co-spon-
sored b Qeteri_o Federation. of
�► Agriculture, the Ontario Credit
Union League, the United Co-
operatives, Cop, Union .and the
L'Union des CultivateursFran-
Ontariens has in a matter of
12 years risen to second posi-
tion in the casualty insurance
field in Ontario.
It was originally organized to
provide farmers with auto in-
surance with satisfactory cov-
erage at a price they could pay.
These policies have now be-
come so popular with urban
people that these now outnum-
ber the rural policyholders.
We owe a debt of gratitude to
the devoted efforts ' of those
who have made this self-help
program a success. We, of Hur-
on County, were proud to see
our representatives at the top
of the list in sales achievement
and safe -driving promotion on
• which the awards were based.
We would particularly congrat-
ulate Russell Knight, of Brus-
sels, who received the highest
award in the whole southwest-
ern division.
I would like to quote a few
sentences from an item in the
.a. Zurich Citizen's News: "It re-
quired an inve§tment of $13,-
377.60 in 1960 to provide one
employee with a job in the
manufacturing industry. Few
manufacturing employees re-
alize anything like this amount
is needed to provide them with
a job."
J would also like to suggest
that fewmanufacturing em-
ployees few,
that it requires
over twice that capital invest-
ment to provide one farmer
with a job.
In spite of this investment,
farmers in Canada have been
• providing their .city cousins
with the cheapest food in the
world.
I feel quite sure that, if in
turn out city cousins could say
that they were providing us
with the cheapest manufactur-
ed products in the world, the
• problems of agriculture would
quickly disappear. This in turn
could very well clear ftp most
of the problems of urban indus-
try.
I wonder will the day ever
come when we will work to-
gether rather than compete
• against each other? Will we
ever realize that the greatest
good comes when we work- for
each other rather than when
we strive against each other?
With the competition current-
ly going on, I wonder if there
will be time for this revolution
to take place.

FIVE YEARS in spare time was spent by D. C. Snell, Waterloo, to build this quarter
model Robert Bell 1920 steam engine. The original was a product of The Robert Bell En-
gine & Thresher Co. Ltd., of Seaforth. An engineer by trade, Mr. Snell is keenly interest-
ed in his hobbyeand showed the model at the antique steam display at the farm home of
Les Lowe, near Acton. The miniature model burns wood in the firebox and maintains any-
where from 80 to 125 pound pressure. It was one of many miniature operating models
at an exhibition of oldtime steam engines held near Acton recently.
FURROW AND
FALLOW
(By FAIRBAIRN)
Ontario Hog Producers last
week held the quietest annual
meeting (that of the sales ag-
ency, OHPC) they have had in
years. We won't say we detect-
ed a note of wistfulness in
President Lance Dickieson's re-
mark that, "With the new meth-
od of sale operating and our
differences with the Farm Pro-
ducts Marketing Board no long-
er receiving press coverage,
there could be concern that the
board has become less active."
We will say three things,
though: first, we know the
board has been doing a good
job for farmers - hog prices
prove that; second, there hasn't
been much coverage of differ-
ences because there aren't very
many, and third, the teletype
method of sale seems to satis-
fy everybody - especially pro-
ducers.
Remember all the talk a year
ago about salesmanship going
out the window under a tele-
type auction system? General
manager Jake Kohler, in his
report said: "Our sales staff is
of greater value than ever un-
der this method of sale." Not
only that, the new system has
spread deliveries of hogs to
assembly yards ever,niore days
of the week and increased' the
bargaining position of the sales
agency. Even though the OHPC
operated at a small loss be-
cause of decreased numbers of
hogs sold - their funds come
from the 40 cent levy per hog,
so fewer hogs, less revenue -
the average price per hog was
higher although much of the
increase is naturally attribut-
able to decreased offerings.
Nevertheless, as Clare Curtl'n
pointed out in his directors' re-
port, "Lowest Ontario prices
experienced are substantially
above markets in Chicago and
Buffalo, to say nothing of price
prevailing at country points in
the United States or in other
provinces."
A resolution, which would
have caused more than a flurry
of excitement six months ago
asking that the Hog Producers
MarketingBoard take over the
powers of the sales agency, the
co-operative, passed with very
little opposition. This was one
of the recommendations of the
Price, Waterhouse report last
year that caused such a furore.
As far as the business opera-
tions are concerned, Clare Cur-
tin pointed out it would mean
only the changing of labels.

meeting the directors of both
the marketing board and the
co-operative had asked assur-
ance from the Farm Products
Marketing • Board that some
changes in the eleetion;;of board
members would be made before
they agreed to recommend this
merging of functions. They re-
ceived such assurance so we
can expect the addition of some
directors -at -large to the mar-
keting hoard. They will be el-
ected by and from county com-
mitteemen. Also district direc-
tors will be elected by county
committeemen at the annual
meeting, nominations for coun-
ty committeemen will take place
before the day of election and
more polling booths will be pro-
vided.

The annual graduation serv-
ieea tor St. Patrick's High
Schools Dublin, were held on
Sunda evening with a large
congregation in attendance.
The graduates were preceded
to the front of the church by
tt regular High School stu-
dents, and a guard of honor
was formed while the graduates
marched in their regulation uni-
forms and mortar -boards.
The guest speaker was Mon-
signor Grespan, London, who
chose as his text, "Jesus ad-
vanced in knowledge, wisdom
and grace with God and Man."
lie emphasized that modern ed-
ucation lacks grace which is
necessary to make preparation
for our eternal salvation. The
main purpose and achievement
of education should be true va-
lues of life and religion.
Diplomas were presented by
Rev. Father Durand and Father
Coughlin, St. Columban, to the
graduates: Rita Kennedy, Anne
Dalton, Jack Costello, Jim Mel-
ady, Harry Ryan, Stephen Cron-
in, Mr. E. C. Harley, Mitchell,
was organist, and the choir
sang, "Praise Ye the Lord," by
Guonod, and three hymns to
Our Lady. The services were
concluded by Benediction with
Father -Coughlin as celebrant.
CWL Meets

Council of St. Patrick's Church,
Dublin, opened the fall season

ed.

hymn and the regulation pray-
er, and Mrs. Gerald Holland,

ing several thank -you notes.
