The CNR, which pioneered development of the dietel-electric locomotive, will become completely diesellaed, climaxing a ten-year program cost- ing • the company $397,000,000, The first steam engine appeared on the Canadian scene in 1836 with the advent of the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway — long since incorporated into the CNR system, It was almost 90 years before the first diesel appeared—a rail car sent by CNR across the continent in 1925 from Montreal to Vancouver in' 67 hours. It was followed in 1929 by a two-unit diesel road locomotive in the Toronto-Montreal service. Further development was disrupted by de- pression and the war, but theprogram to dieselize the entire system moved ahead in 1950, The diesel-electnic locomotive has proven to be cheaper and faster than its roniantic predecessor which has fallen victim to the advance of railroad technology, With 'the program completed, CNR will have 2,144 diesel locomotives and 28 Railiners.

CARL I had a painful experience last week, when I saw good men, strong and true and in high pub- lic office, appear as nodding pup- pets in the hands• of Sir Oracle as he dripped honeyed words on the poor serfs below. The occasion was the interview granted by Prime Minister Leslie Frost to the Bruce-Grey-Huron Hog Producers' delegation. The very wordy discourse that greeted us was an insult to the intellig- ence of the farmers that met with him, Yet the members ,present, who represented rural ridings, ap- parently agreed, without question, with the Prime Minister., The Honourable Prime Minister of Ontario, in supporting the argu- ment for strict government con- trol of marketing of farm pro- ducts, particularly hogs, referred to England as an example. Does the Prime Minister fail to realize that the people of Eng- land had their dependence on agri- culture indelibly stamped on their minds by the short rations of two world wars? Does'he fail to realize that these people are therefore willing- to support a government that, through subsidy, provides 70 per- Cent of the English 'farmer's in- come? (statement of George Mc- Cague, chairman of the Farm Products Marketing Board). Does he fail to realize that by this means, the farmers of Eng- land, representing five percent of the population, receive five, per- cent of the national income? This would almost double the farm 'in- come of Canadian farmers. (state- ment of Prof, Campbell, head of Agriculture Economics Depart- ment, OAC), Does Mr. Frost, in his benev- Paidul To See Strong Men Bow To Will of Stronger Political Leader BAMINGWAY) olent greatness, propose to give farmers this increase in income by the passing of Bill 86? a In a second lengthy speech the Prime Minister proceeded to tell us the foolishness of farmers and bog producers in particular, in thinking they could successfully operate a processing plant. He told us that it was a risky busi- ness, with very small margins of profit. Implying that it was be- yond the ability of farmers. Does the Prime Minister fail to realize that, within a few Ontario egg producers should "walk on eggs" or tread lightly right now while they develop a marketing system for their pro- duct which will bring reasonable prices and stability to their indus- try. At least this was the thought underlying the speeches at the 10th annual meeting 'of 'the Poul- try Producers Association held in Toronto on March 29. President Tom Robson, Leam- ington, in a review of the associa- tion activities to develop a mark- eting-scheme in the past, caution- ed the delegates to move deliber- ately and carefully on a Market- ing plan. "The promotion type of plan will not work because of leg- al technicalities and the unfavor- able results of airliner programs in Britain bear this out," he said. "Negotiating types of plans will not work because there is no way negotiations can be held. Conse- quently, it appears that a semi- agency or complete agency type of marketing system may be the answer." He cited price cutting due to fierce competition in present egg marketing as deplorable. "Egg graders are doing a big job for the poultry producers, but they must sell under conditions which leave no security of price to them and to the producer," Mr. Robson stated. He expressed confidence that a marketing plan could be, and would be, developed in the coming year. Everett M. Biggs, Assistant Deputy Minister of Agriculture, marketing, promised full support of his department to egg produc- ers in the province, in his speech to delegates. He said that those marketing organizations which met with great difficulties and in some cases failure, were a direct result of starting out with the idea of what the solution was rather than accumulating end as- sessing all the known information and experiences and building a sound marketing machine on. this knowledge. He cautioned the egg producers to make themselves a- ware of all the known facts and their ramifications before the fin- al die is cast for the establish- ment of a marketing program. Mr. Briggs announced that a special Egg Marketing Commit- tee, chaired by Mr. Robson, had been set up by the Poultry Pro- ducera Aasoeiatiort and his depart- years; United Co-Operatires of Ontario have become the largest suppliers of feed in Ontario; that Co-Operators Insurance Associa- tion in about ten years has be- come the fourth largest auto in- surance company in Ontario; that Co-Op Medical Services, first or- ganized by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, did, what the gov- ernment declared couldn't be done for rural people? Finally he failed to realize that in Denmark farmers completely control the marketing of their product, even to exporting to re- tail level and to a large extent to consumer level. (Prof, Camp- bell, OAC). These facts were well known by the farmers of the delegation and as a result their faith in govern- ment was largely destroyed. ment, The department will under write the cost of this committee in its study of egg marketing con- ditions and in its efforts to de-velop a sound egg marketing plan, Other members of the committee are Albert Pond, Jarvis, • rep- resenting the Poultry Industry Council;, Mr. T. E. Brady, General Manager of United Dairy and Poultry Co-operative; Mr. L. H. Gray, Ridgetown, an egg grading station operator, and Earl Has- lett, farm economics branch of the. Ontario Department of Agri- culture, acting as secretary. Mr. Biggs outlined the aims of the committee and suggested areas of research which it will undertake to study, in gathering information to develop a sound marketing plan. Delegates tabled a resolution calling for provision in any mark- eting plan to be developed, of a clause which would allow an equalization, fund to be establish- ed for producer subsidy of export eggs. Two resolutions dealing with support prices far the egg industry were lost; one resolution asked for all supports to be with- drawn from eggs, and the other asked that a support price be set on a percentage of costs• of pro- duction basis to protect producers in case of emergency only. Delegates asked the poultry or- ganization' to examine tariffs which form a part of the cost of producing poultry/ products. Pro- ducers want these tariffs to be in line with the tariffs 'imposed on poultry products now entering the country,. A resolution requesting that all containers of Ontario eggs be marked as Ontario-pro- duced was carried. Other resolu- tions aimed at promoting the poultry organization and its act- ivities in the counties were passed also. • Tom Robson was re-elected president of the poultry organiza- tion for the coming year. Vice- presidents Albert Pond, Jarvis and Allan Wedow, Hanover, were also re-elected. Other directors returned to the board were Mrs. E. Macartney, Ramsayville ,and Gordon Hunsberger, West Mont- rose. Stewart Stainton, Lindsay, was elected, replacing Ron Brooks on board and Craig Bunter, Stroud, was elected to fill the vacancy left by Bill West, NO,- market, Lodge Centeunta A large crowd filled 'the 0range ]Frail last Thursday evening to help the local lodge celebrate their 1.00th birthday, A good pro- grata of music and addresses was presented, The Main address •was given by the Grand Master of On- torio West, William Tattfamt A number of Grand .bodge officers„ anal county officers and Rev.
