CLINTON 402-3841 ' 1 I 1 Clinton IODE learns of reasons for being CLINTON NEWS-RECORD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21,, 1974,-43.40E 9 Nearly 16,000,000 bushels of 1.974 crop Ontario winter wheat have been sold by producers to date. It is the largest volume sold by producers during an en- tire crop year for more than 16 years. The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board is responsible for the purchase and sale of all wheat sold by producers under a new agency or pooling system established in 1973. Officials of the board were concerned over the high volume of wheat which came to market Century farm signs available ping strike which crippled movement on the Great Lakes. However, since the strike has been settled, normal movement has once again been established and the board has moved stocks of wheat forward to ex- port terminals to meet sales commitments. Board officials said this week that carryover stocks of 1973 wheat which were sold for ex- port delivery in late September and which totalled ap- proximately three million during late July, August and bushels, have all been loaded September because of the ship: out. In addition, some stocks of 1974 new crop wheat are also being loaded out for export. Of t'lie total of appro`eimatety 16,000,000 bushels of new crop purchased' by the board, about 5.4 million have been sold for domestic flour milling pur- poses, and about 1,7 million bushels have been sold and moved into export markets to date. Smaller volumes have been sold for seed and feed, representing 166,600 bushels and 11,560 bushels respec- tively. Additional export sales have been made totalling about 7,000,000 bushels in all, with deliveries to be completed later in the year. Present board owned inven- tory totals approximately 9,000,000 bushels located in various deep water terminal elevators. With old crop carryover sales complete, the marketing board will now be in position to close out the books on the 1973 crop and therefore arrange for a final payment to producers. To date, producers have received, ipitial,payrnent on their 1973 crop of $1.51 per bushel,, plus a first interim payment of 50c per bushel, and a second; interim payment of $1.00 per bushel, for a total of $3.01 less lc board licence fee. The final payment which has been estimated at ap- proximately 36c per bushel will be made by the board, along An "Ontario Cow-Calf Con- ference" will be held at the Skyline Hotel, Rexdale, on December 17 and 18, This is an opportunity for beef cow-calf farmers to hear top speakers from Ontario and Alberta. Producers par- ticipating will be Doug Maus, Les Atkins, George Leslie, Fred Cohoe, Ross Proctor and others. They will discuss their own production systems. Dr, D,N, Mowat, Dr, J. Winch, Dr. J.W. Wilton of the University of Guelph, and Dr. Roy Berg of the University of Alberta will cover topics such as "Pastures", "Bull Selec- tion", "Cross Breeding and Cow Size". Dr, Jack Cote and Dr, R,A, Curtis of the Ontario Do you know that IODE, or Independent Order Daughters of the! Empire, is a 74 year old Canadian women's voluntary organization with ap- proximately 22,000 members, women and girls "with a love of country and a concern for others"? This was the question asked by Eva Dawson of the provincial IODE executive when she honoured the Clinton chapter with a visit for their November meeting. Mrs. Dawson, in reviewing what IODE is, put the work of the local group into perspective by relating it to the work at the provincial and federal levels, Her address elaborated on the three programs covered by OIDE . i,e, citizenship, education, and services. With regard to citizenship the broad aims are to. con- tribute to the growth of Canadian unity and to hold firm belief in the monarchical system, Her Majesty the Queen is patron of the order. Area chapters hold receptions for new Canadian citizens and also promote white - Indian - Eskimo co-operation. Mrs. Dawson described at same length the continuing provin- cial . IODE project at At- tawapiskat on James Bay where the residents of the com- munity have been encouraged and helped to build a com- munity hall, arrange classes in home economics, and meat recently build a green house to help lengthen the growing season. Mrs. Dawson went on to say that approximately $335,000 is devoted annually by the IODE to Canadian schools and students.(At the federal level, 10 War Memorial scholarships of $5000 each are awarded to Canadian students. The provin- cial level has its Lucy Morrison memorial fund which presents bursaries for need and awards for study in many areas e.g. music, ballet, early childhood education, social work, etc. The current emphasis is on en- couraging improved spelling in elecentary schools, said Mrs. Dawson. "Service" funds of ap- proximately $500,000 are raised ii"nd'''gxpended annually at the federal level for such items as milk for children in Korea, incubators and layettes for infants in the Arctic (con- tributed to by the local chap- ter), a broad program in the past of supplying X-ray materials in Korea, and generally helping in times of emergency with equipment, voluntary assistance, and sup- plies to those in need both in Canada and elsewhere, The local chapter was remin- ded by Mrs. Dawson of the hope to sell 75,000 of the IODE 75th Anniversary rose during 1975, Money from these rose bushes goes to a special project "Concern for Children" which is earmarked for genetic studies. Mrs. Dawson, who is regent of her own chapter in Stratford, as well as chairman of the education committee of the provincial IODE, was thanked for her interesting and stimulating address by local regent Darlene Flowers. Among items during the business session of the meeting were the following: a striking committee of Bess Fingland, Mabel Middleton, Freda Schoenhals was formed; a let- ter of thanks was read from the Over-50 Club at Wesley-Willis Church for the recent autumn automobile tour, The resignation of a very capable ways and means chairman, Marjorie Porter, was read and a committee formed to replace her on the Christmas tree project, Kelly Ball, Freda SchoenhalS, Colleen Phillips and Helen Bartliff. Another highlight of this meeting was a display set up by services chairman, Florence Carrie, of the beautiful sewing and knitting completed for a bale to be sent to the Northwest Territories in the near future. Artifical lights Ood Your green thumb may not be at fault if your houseplants look sick, Even properly fer- tilized plants, kept at the correct temperature and given the right amount of water, may do poorly if they do not have enough light, "African violets, Gloxinias, foliage plants, tulips, hyacinths and azaleas all grow well under artificial lights," says D.M. Sangster, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food hor- ticulturist. He recommends even the standard white fluorescent tube, but many gar- den centers sell complete units for an artificially lighted in- door garden. To provide the high light in- tensity necessary for good growth, the lamp should be close to the plants 12 to 16 hours a day. Veterinary College and others will include information on management, health and diseases. The Royal Banks' George Arnold will suggest how to finance the cow operation. The December 17th highlight is the Honourable E. Whelan, Minister of Agriculture Canada, as banquet speaker. If you want questions an- swered on feeding, economies, breeding, health and management, register early for the December 17-18 Cow-Calf Conference. Registration forms are available from the 0.M.A.F. of- fices in your area and the Livestock Branch,. 0.M.A.F., Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Wheat crop was biggest in 16 years with the federal government two price wheat payment. The federal government payment, as announced by Mr. Harry W. Leggett, director, Grains and Special Crops Division, Production and Marketing Branch, Agriculture Canada, to the annual meeting of the Ontario wheat 'producers held in Guelph on September 30th, 1974, is to be turned over to the marketing board no later than November 15th. The amount represents the difference between the $3.25 pegged domestic price of wheat used for human consumption and the higher export prices received by the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board. The total will be ap- proximately $10.8 million which is to include interest from September 1973 to November 1974. Divided into total 1973 crop wheat sales of slightly over 12.1 million bushels by Ontario producers, it will mean approximately 84c per bushel will be paid on all wheat sold by producers. That amount, in addition to the final payment yet to be paid to producers. by...the, board., 7,1 shy, FI. 401],g)4:11e f,?Mia§unflWl..tet t received by.producers for then= 1973 crop to about $4.20 per bushel. The final payment will be made to producers some time after November 15th, The present initial price paid to producers for 1974 crop wheat is $2.04 for the month of October. Proclamation of Town of Clinton In the past two years it has become known to council that the existing Town Hall building is in a very poor state of repair. It will therefore be necessary to spend considerable sums of money to correct this situation if the building is to be maintained for the indefinite future. Council engaged the services of James F. MacLaren Associates to do an evaluation of the condition of the Town Hail as regards 'to the safety of the building. Their report conveyed to us that although the building is not in any im- minent danger of collapse, extensive repair work should be undertaken im- mediately to prevent irreparable deterioration from taking place. The firm of Tillman & Lamb. was sub- sequently engaged to pursue the possibility of alternatives. After several meetings at which council and Mr. Lamb discussed a number of these alternatives, Mr. Lamb was asked to prepare a more comprehensive study and supply drawings and estimates etc. The results of this study were presented by Mr. Lamb at a public meeting held at the Town Hall on Nov. 13. The present council are unanimously in favour of a renewal program being under- taken whereby several avenues will be explored to determine what grants or cost sharing may be available so as to determine what net cost to the taxpayer may be involved. The following ballot will therefore be included in the election of December 2, 1974 to determine some con- sensus of opinion from ratepayers on this issue: On the question of the future Of the present town Hall, (ARE YOU IN FAVOUR OF PRE E/IVING THE EXISTING TOWN HALL.)
