Story
Three Loves
★ All Star Cast
In Techhicoiour, this feature
offers a trio of contrasting uh-
related romantic tales.
H- H. Hannam, president of the
400,000 - member Canadian Fed
eration of Agriculture, predicted
Tuesday that hog prices will drop
in mid-1954 aud that cattle
prices will remain low’ for the
next several years.
He anticipated also that in
view of expanding production, egg
prices may drop and that al
though there is “no need for low
er fluid milk prices”, increasing
output “could bring new problems”.
The shift toward declining
world farm prices which followed
the Korean war is likely to con
tinue in 1954, Mr, Hannam said
in his presidential address pre
pared for delivery at the opening
of the federation’s eighteenth an-1
nual convention meeting in London.
I Placed In “Squeeze”
■ The drop in selling prices while
I production costs remained high
| had placed Canada’s 600,000 farm
families in a “price-Uost squeeze
. . . which in all likelihood will
be continued in 1954”,
Root of the farmer’s problem
i was that free competition placed
i him at a disadvantage in relation
I to other producers.
What Canada and the world
| needs, said Mr, Hannam, is great
er measuring of orderly market
ing-control over the movement of
surplus supplies.
Must Co-operate
“Military alliances may hold
war at bay, but ’if Western coun
tries are to give the world the
kind of leadership which will
assure freedom and peace they
must co-operate to convince mil
lions who are in revolt against
their conditions of life, that de
mocracy offers them more than
any other ideology.”
Mr. Hannam, for years an ad
vocate of an international clear
ing house for disposing of food
surpluses, suggested “a good
place to start would be with food
programs”.
Disagrees With McCubbin
Two agricultural experts look
ed into the future Tuesday but
could not agree on what 1954
would bring for Canadian farm
ers.
H. H. Hannam said “The pre
sent level of farm prices is not
likely to rise significantly while
farm costs are likely to remain
around their all-time peak.”
Robert McCubbin, parliament
ary assistant to Agriculture Mini
ster Gardiner, saw the future as
“still bright.”

Add 15 Farm Lots
To SHDHS Area
Huron County council passed a
by-law last week transferring 15
farm lots in Tuckersmith from
the Clinton District High School
area to the South Huron District
High School area.
Although this change will add
about $100,000 to the assess
ment of the local district, it will
not effect enrolment since pupils
in that section are already at
tending S.H.D.H.S.
The 15 lots are those on the
east side of No. 4 highway from
the Usborne boundary north to

Finds Treasure
In Junk Pile
A fortune is where you
it. Many a precious treasure lias
been unearthed from unseemly
places.
Discarded as junk, an ancient
horseless carriage was spotted by
a Stratford resident who saw in
it possibilities of rejuvenation
and now has a very valuable
antique. It is a LeRoy runabout
built in 1899 and owned by Mr.
Lionel George Rider.
The runabout is what was
known as a “mother - in - law’s
car”. It has two seats in front
and a third seat in the rear back
ing the front seat. It has a one-
cylinder four horsepower engine.
Mr. Rider, who is a mechanic,
put the machine in running
order. It was necessary to secure
specially made tires.
Mr. Rider visited Exeter a few
days ago where he secured from
the local license issuer, Mr. R.
G. Seldon, license plate E1899 to
correspond with the year tho
machine wus built. Mr. Rider has
refused a very attractive offer
for the vehicle.
