The Bible Toddy A story, which came from the Bible Depot, Chile, states "A young Arab girl came into the Depot recently asking for Bible, Naming obtained what she sought, she went along, and one of our helpers told how the girl had in some way secured a Bible against the wishes of her parents who were Muslims, had read it, and had accepted Christ as her Saviour. Although not permitted to attend a Christian Church, she comes from time to time to buy a Bible for someone she has been able to interest lit the reading of the Book, Owing to the economic and financial difficulties in Chile. 'the Society's application to import SeriPtures was turned clown six times before the authorities finally granted a permit a six- ty days' duration upon payment of a .tex of two percent of the total value of the imports and a deposit with the Central Bank Of Chili of a sum equivalent to 100 percent of the imports. This means that out of 21 dif- ferent bindings and sizes of the SPanish Valera verSiOn of the Bible,. the Depot is only able to stock 11 which are eat the best sellers, But in spite of all difficulties the work goes on.

While the preblerns, of Hog Marketing has been to the fore- front for the past several years'. ii now ,appears that the prob- lem of mills en arketieg will now supply the basis for controv- ersy. One of the recommencla, :Was of the milk marketing committee which caught my eye was the "freezing" of pres- ent milk quotas for fluid milk, /3y so &trig the committee pointed out that as fluid sales increased beyond the total sup- ply of quota milk, Grade A milk from the manufacturing trade would be diverted to the fluid market at fluid price, The gain on this • price would then be returned equally to the pro- ducers of manufacturing milk. This no doubt in a pealed of years could result in a con- siderable increase in returns to these producers- but it will not come quickly, It is also ap- parent that the "freezing" of fluid milk quotas will not re- duce transportation costs. I am not too well versed on the problems of milk marketing and perhaps my comments are not correct, however, if they stimulate the producers to seek full information they will have served their purpose. 0 Just a Moment while I refer back to a suggestion made at ebe Wheat Producers annual meeting to the effect that no eastern farm organization had made any objection to govern-e Meat about the removal of tile requirement for western feed mills to Perrhase all, grains through the Canadian Grain, Beard. I would like to state that the Ontario Federation of Ag, rieulture repotted to the mem- bers meeting of JW-le, 3, 1960 that official protest against this action was presented to the federal government from the OFA. While it was unsuccess- ful in preventing government from introducing this action it no doubt had some part in hav- ing it restricted to a one year trial period. Whether this move will in- crew the production of live- stock in the West to any great extent remains to be seen. Ap- parently there was a ,certain amount of grain finding its way to feed lots through mach- artery dealers ,and I would sup- pose most farmers who were wanting to feed livestock were ,alreact, doing so. What will definitely develop will be strong competition be- tween farmers to sell grain, Whichever farmer will sell his grain cheapest will be the one who will sell. This means that total income for the year may Attention Farmers I "CONSTRUCT UPRIGHT CONCRETE SILOS UP TO 50 FEET contact; ARNOLD HUGILL Box 70 92 Cambria Rd., Goderich Phone JA 4-9437 collect 9-10p At a Farmers' Union meeting held in Clinton, February 22, a committee comprised of Mrs. Robert Taylor, Mrs. T. Gwen- lock, Mrs. Frank Potter and Mrs. Gordon Hill was appointed to arrange for the annual var- iety night to be held in the Easter holidays.. Robert Taylor introduced the guest speaker RudY Usick, president of the Manitoba Far- mers' Union who has been sp- eaking at a series of meetings in Ontario. Mr. Usick, a farmer from Erickson, in his opening remarks told briefly of his re- cent activities in his home pro- vince. He had attended over 80 meetings in Manitoba during November and December with am average attendance of 90, There are 350 active locals in Manitoba. "Westerners tend to think of Ontario as being a strictly in- dustrial province, as well as being headquarters for many large corporations," he said, Easterners view West- erners as all grain farmers." "Manitoba has lees than 1% straight grain farmers," Mr. Usick said, "with income from livestock exceeding that of grain." He predicted that it will be increasingly difficult for East- ern farmers to stay in the beef business, saying that the west has large acreage for grazing and abundance of feed, and a supply of feeders readily avail- able. "Western farmers are being forted into a more mixed type of farming," Mr. Usick conthie ued, "because they are unable to sell their grain. This will increase production and no doubt , Ontario farmers will be affected and will have to pay increased prices for feeders," Mr. Usick strongly condern- mecl the government for its action in exempting western feed mills from the regulations of the Wheat Board. The sp- eaker continued, "This can only weaken the Wheat Board. It will assist the commercial op- erator but will be detrimental to the average farmer. Grain farmers, hard pressed for mon- ey, are accepting lower prices for their grain from feed mills, who in turn have the opportun- ity of going into livestock or poultry business with a decided advantage." Mr. Usick said that it was his belief that wheat bought in this manner is being channelled into flour mills, and the situation was being ex- ploited. Mn Usick explained that this condition had been brought a- bout by •these western feed mill operators bringing pressure on the government and he urged Hydro Makes Satisfactory Offer For Farm Lands Ontario Hydro's purchase of- fers for farmproperties in East Hawkeebury have been endors- ed by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Jack Ferguson, chairman of the OF`A Land Ac- quisition Committee announced the endorsement following Hy- dro's decision to make a 10% increase across the board in the purchase prices offered for farms. The increase in the offers is designed to compensate tattriers for the probleine •involved in moving to new locations. Although Ontario Hydro con- sidered their original offers to be fair, they agreed to this further Allowance for the in- tangible factors on which it is difficult to place a dollar value.. The farms involved ate being Acquired by the Ontario Hydro to make way for the flooding from the Carillon Fewer Devel- opment being built by Hydro- Quebec on the Ottawa River. Ontario farmers to contact their M.P.'s to assist the west in its drive to have this rem- edied. He said he could forsee a closer liason between east and west in farm policy as there is an increase in prob- lems affecting both. The speaker took issue with the idea made prevalent by the press, TV, and radio, and some farm leaders that the solution to the farmers' problem was to become larger and more ef- ficient. He said farm specialists shy away from discussing "pr- ice," when in reality this is the basic problem. Mr. Usick told of a study made by his province which revealed' that 97 percent of agricultural sp- ending for research by the Fed- eral and all provincial govern- ments was directed towards greater efficiency methods and 3 percent to marketing and pricing. "Governments talk farm cr- edit, crop insurance, conserva- tion, and marginal land use. When are they going to talk price?" he asked. "Any overall agricultural pro- gram without pricing . is use- less". In closing, Mr. Usick remind- ed' the individual members of their responsibility in building a strong Fenn Union. He urged them to send in their member- ships or help collect their nei- ghbours. "The officials of your organization have many other duties and you must make this contribution," he said. Mr,• Usick answered many timely and pertinent questions from an interested audience. Mrs. George Clifton thanked the speaker. Lunch was served. (By J. E. Longstaff) Occupational & Hobby Glasses While the use of occupation- al lenses is not new, it is for many people a new idea. Occupational lenses are len- ses in which the near point focus is set for a particular occupation and the size of the segment (if a multifocal) de- termined by the field of view required by that occupation or hobby. This, is the opposite of lenses for general wear in which the near point focus is set for normal reading distance of 14 to 16 pinches and the bifocal segment kept Small to avoid too much interference in walk- ing about. Many occupations require keen vision at distances nearer Or farther away than 16 inches oir at a number of set diet- ,ances from the eye, or because of a large working area, de- mand a larger than standard bifocal segment. If these re- quirements are met to give ef- ficient vision for the occupa- tion the lenses are quite often not satisfactory for street wear. On the other hand general wear glasses can often be worn as occupational glasses if there is no demand other than ef- ficient vision at far and 16 inch near working distances. Some individuals will tot mind changing glasses for" cer- tain jobs, while others will pre. for to sacrifice some good see- ing and comfort for the "Con, venience" of one pair of glasses. These attitudes and opinions must be taken into account when deciding on occupational lenses. The patient usually has a choice of several methods of correcting his particular vision needs and by knowing what is available can make the wit- est choice. News for Your Eyes
