Air Controversy.
Over Marketing
Vital Appeal
Just in case you didn't read that
yellow and black pamphlet you received
in the mail last week, we're going•to re-
print its message Wert because it is an
important appeal.
The pamphlet depictS .a group of
Oople—of all ages—with happy smiles on
their faces. The cover says "There's .a
Heart -Warming Story behind t h .e
Smiles . . ."
Read the rest of this, won't you?
"It's .tlXe story of how thousands of
Canadians, with your help, have triumph-
ed over the handicap of blindness.
"To most of us who lead normal, haP-
py lives, smiles come easily enough. To
the handicapped., a smile is often a badge
of courage, an effort of will. And few are
more sorely handicapped than the man,
woman or child who is blind.
"That's why we who are privileged. to
lencla helping hand can find special pleas-
ure and warmth in the smiles of our blind
neighbours. Those smiles symbolize the
"new deal" —the emancipation of the
sightless made possible by your support
of The Canadian National Institute for
the Blind.
"They speak of happiness rep• lacing
despair—of usefulness replacing futility—
of independence replacing helplessness.
They reflect the sunlight breaking through
the shadows.
"Because you have helped them,
through The Institute, most Blind Canad-
ians today walk erect and confident—free
of the mannerisms and peculiarities• that
once marked them as a group .apart.
"The CNIB has done its job well. But
much remains to be done. In the words of
Institute President Lewis M. Wood, "We
must avoid, a tendency to rest upon the
.plough, complacentewith the field. we have
fiirrowed. We must be mindful of those
not. yet acquainted with The CNIB, aim-
lessly groping, bewildered by the calamity
of blindness. We have won a. place in the
world, but we must maintain. it. Wd must
not fall back: 'The harvest still lies
ahead."
The C.N.I.B. in. London is .going a
magnificent job. Many people in Huron
have seen and. admired at first hand. the
services provided. in the new centre.
Groups from this county make periodic.
visits to entertain the blind there or con-
tribute toward. the work.
Give generously to .the current cam-
paign. You know you're money is being
well spent.
Too Timid?
Canadians may not like being called
timid *Alen it conies to risking their, hard
earned cash. But a special report on
Canadian investment, investment, says the Financial
Post, certainly points that way.
While American investors have been
pouring more money into oil, gas, mineral
and other expanding Canadian industries
what have Canadians been doing? Canny
Camicks have been buying back Canadian
bonds and debentures held in the United
States. In other words while Uncle Sam
has been taking a chance and expanding
his holdings, we have been using our
extra, cash for paying off the mortgage.
For a long time to come, unless we
wish to stagnate and force our young
people td emigrate in search of jobs, we
are going to need foreign capital to help
in Canadian development. There are
simply not enough of us, especially with
capital, to do the job ourselves. But some
reasonable balance must be retained or
we are liable to lose control over our own
Wel development. No self-respecting
country can afford to let that happen.
,Since we're. not a hog producer, we
don't know enough about the current dis-
p,ute between the eo-operative and Theo-
dore Parker's protestants to make a fair
appraisal of the controversy but we have
a suggestion to make to producers who
are trying to keep informed on the situa-
tion.
Producers will find in this week's
paper two items of interest. The one, on
this page, is a letter from Parker explain-
ing his stand, The other is the announce-
ment of a meeting sponsored by the Huron
County Hog Producers Association which
will be held in the South Huron District
High, School on Wednesday, September
28.
From the discussions we have heard
and participated in, we know that many
farmers are confused about the marketing
scheme. Some of them have misconcep-
tiont of what it entails and some don't
understand how the new direction pro-
gram will be operated. The open meeting
at the high school will give producers a
chance to get the answers to their quest-
ions.
Those farmers, particularly, who are
opposed to the scheme should at least -be
fair enough to hear the co-operative's side
by attending the meeting. Those who sup-
port the marketing scheme should read
Parker's case, too.
Many rumours and counter -rumours -
have been circulating around about this
hog marketing controversy and it's time
some of them are cleaned up. Perhaps the
meeting and. the letter will help to do
that.
At any rate, producers are too vitally
affected by the schemeto ignore what's
going on. All should read Parker's letter
and attend the high school meeting,
Lump Of 'Soli
(By Georges Maheux)
No treasure on earth is as valuable
as a simple lump of soil. It is the very
core of life from which all organisms
emerge, and it is the bails for the pro's-
perity of all nations.
A mass of sand or clay, mineral frag-
ments, scraps of plant and animal matter
all bound together, a lump of soil absorbs
water and solar energy and harbors a
swarm of living things. In' this minute
laboratory, the very leaven of life is
evolved. A tiny seed finds in it the heat
and. moisture necessary for germination.
Here, too, is a storehouse of food; as-
similable elements from which rootlets -de-
rive nourishment that is passed along to
stems, leaves and fruits. All. this from a
simple lump of soil!
However, the soil can only give forth
what it possesses. If rich in. nutritive
elements, it can produce an abundance of
food for man and beast; lacking such re-
serves, it can only grow weak plants, and
poor crops.
Here is where Science interVenes. It
devises improved methods of tillage. With
chemical fertilizers it adds to the soil re-
quired quantities of the food it lacks, It
has even developed "custoni made" seeds,
brim full of strength and vitality, which
enclose all the desirable characteristics of
species, variety, productivity, early matur-
ity, rapidity of growth and resistance to
disease. Science expands the wonders of
the soil, thereby increasing harvests .and
improving the quality of agricultural
products.
Picking 'up a bit of soil, the farmer
runs it through his fingers to feel its
texture, its body, its resileney. He sniffs
at it and all but tastes it. This handful ok
earth symbolizes the myriads of others
that make up his fields, his vegetable
garden and his orchard. -le can well lift
his eyes heavenward in thanksgiving. Let
him be thankful also for the discoveries
of Science which multiply a hundredfold
the results of his labor.

New you are going to ask who
1$ to blame for this and why did
Alvin not have all the certificates
at the Wednesday game. Well
this can be blamed on two men --
firstly, the secretaayanana,ger of
the W.0,A.A. Alfred Locheridge,
of Wingham, and secondly, the
recreational director for Exeter,
Doug ,Smith. think that Doug
Smith should have seen that all
the certificates were in order and
that they were forwarded to the
proper .officials, which he did not
de, In fact, he had little or no
Interest in the team during the
whole season. that I could. see.
As far Alvin WIllert, the manager
of the team, he has had no ex-
perience in .administrative mat-
ters concerning baseball. I think
he should be congratulated on the
job he did rather than blamed.
Prom what I can gather, we
also got a rough deal .from the
O.R.A. sub -committee. They seem-
ed to be for West Lorne" even
before our group got there. Ap-
parently the C.lairman of the
meeting hardly gave Alvin b.'
chance to speak and kept saying
"It's too bad it had to be you,"
even before the case had been
decided upon by the committee.
Comrade 'Cochrane, 'spokesman
for the Exeter group, tried to
submit that while 'we were
viously guilty of infraction of
the rules they were matters over
which we had no control a7nd we
should not be 'penalized. 'But the
0.43.A. officials said they .naust
abide by the rules even though
there were 'rules they wouldn't
consider.

Hog Dilemma
'R.R. 1,

September 16, 1955.
The Editor, '
Exeter Times-Advecate
Exeter, 9ntario,
Dear Sir:
have seen 41 great deal In the
press these days ,about the hog
marketing dilemma and where
Mr. McInnis of the hog board is
misleading people 'by accusing
packers of paying 2 million dol-
lars to 1,000 truckers for truck-
ing hogs, and that ,soane of these
amounts are 43.00 per pig. I
want to paint out just .how far
wrong he is.
, It Shouldn't matter to the larnt-
Or whether the packers pay 2 mil-
lion a year or 22 million a year
to get hogs as they want the%
and when they want them, because
that is a coSt.to •a packer and has
nothing to do with the farmers'
• price of hogs as' it Is administered
fsi Outario today, The price ,of
hog is one thing to the farmer,
but the cost Of that beg to the
packer is another thing entirely.
Added transportation charges from
one place to another Is a rest to
a packer just like am added kil-
ling cost that he may be labour.
ed wltli, rust what about all thIS
money that Mr. Menials has et-
tracted from the Ontario farmer
for no service performed. The
truckers at least perform a ser -
