Farmers' Union To Hold Public Meeting Speaker: A. V. Cormack, Ontario Leader is in the process of being formed in Goderich Township, and there are others north of Clinton. Last Wednesday a group if far- mers in Walton heard an address by Joe Phelps, Wilkie, Sash,, who is a past president of the Saalcat- chewan Farmers' Union. Mr. Phelphs said that farmers of West and East Canada have a great deal in common because they are customers of each other. He said "I think the time has come when farmers should work closer with organized labour." He said that it is silly for the farmers to Say they won't have anything to do with organized labour, because organized labour is the farmer's best customer-"and a lot in the ranks of organized labour are farmer's sons and daughters, for a lot of farmers have either been shoved off the farms or become discouraged and quit." "It is time," said Mr. Phelps to do some stock-taking to see if we have more money invested in machinery and equipment than we have in the farm." Phelps said he had no' criticism PUC Members At Convention During Hydro's Jubilee All members of the Clinton Pub- lic Utilities Commission attended parts of the convention held in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, this week, and returned with glow, ing reports of enthusiasm for Hydro's golden jubilee.

Mont- gomery, agricultural representat- ive, the first day during which growers were offered an opportun- ity to express their wishes.

F. Perkin was commenting on, marketing schem- es. We have many fine market- ing agencies operating all over Canada and many deserve credit for the way they operate. How- ever, when we get a hog market- ing co-op that is allowed to oper- ate in such a compulsory way, then something is wrong. As a farmer, I have legal rights to sell my own livestock at a stockyard on my own account. No- body has any right to tell me where and how I have to market my products. In another press article I Not- ice where Mr. Fox, an . official from the hog co-op at Stratford, said that there was nothing to prevent hog producers from taking their hogs direct to packing plants and making their own bargains with packers. Truckers carrying producers' hogs have been "reques- ted" to report to the assembly points' but until the farm market- ing regulations tangle is straigh- tened out by a Supreme Court hearing, the truckers are not com- pelled to report to the centres. IL' this is the case, then this hog co-op has no authority to remove fanners' hogs from packers yards without the. consent of the man who owns the hogs. This would mean that the packer has no auth- ority to move farmers' hogs from where they are sold without the owners consent, and the packer has no authority to be treating farmers' settlements, as they are by turning them into the hands of the hog co-op without owners ap- proval. In the recent Rural Co-operator Mr. McInnes advocates' the deliv- ery of all hogs to open assembly points. What he needs is an ed- ucation on shrink losses. He thinks that he saved farmers thousands, but he cannot know what normal shrink losses are or he would not talk so foolish. Hogs shrinking around stockyards nev- er- made money for the farmers. When an extra 3,000 hogs went unto the Toronto market, it sent the market down to $23.50. When 4,000 hogs were banked on the market, it went to $23.00. What would happen if 10,000 hogs went on the open market? I guess that would crack the floor. After the recent show in hog selling, there is nothing but 4 loSses to be added up. People are begin- ning now to realize that if shrink losses are out of normal an extra halt a dollar a cwt. on the price has no meaning. As an advice to farmers, be sure to weigh your hogs from now on, because you never know what silly thing can happen next. /f yott dant do this, market your hogs' with reliable truckers and shippers; who know something' when hog shrinks are out of line, 'Y'ours truly, Chicago Director W. P. WATSON', Ontario livestock commission- er, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Chic- ago International Dairy Show, This is the first time that a Canadian has served on the board.

He spoke of parity prices and said. "The Farm Union is making progress.. Our job is to make this, '014 world better place to live in and the in- dustry of agriculture a. better in, clustry."

The family of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Walters, Tuckersmith, held a surprise dinner party on Feb- ruary 18, to mark their 40th wed- ding anniversary. The dinner was held at the home of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Alan Campbell, Winthrop. The dining room and table was decorated in pink and white.

The family presented them with a lovely platform rocker. Keen disappointment was felt on Saturday evening last when the weatherman played h i s worst prank of the season and forced the cancellation of the long-anticipat- ed Friendship Night. The bus bringing the Degree Team from. Waterloo got as far as Stratford when weather conditions' made it impossible to continue. .One car- load did get through from, Thames- ford, and another from Hensall.
