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

This is an opportunity for
beef cow-calf farmers to hear

Alberta. Producers par-
ticipating will be Doug Maus,

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.

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

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.)

and Council of the
