EDITOR’S WIFE IS
NEW LITERARY FIGURE
Readers of Maclean’s Magazine will
no doubt have enjoyed a story which
appears in the current issue titled
“When the Women Went on Strike”,
by Elda' Cadogan, The story is par
ticularly well done, with a humorous
twist which makes it ,worthy of a*
pleasant chuckle many hours after
the reading is completed.
It is of special interest to readers
in this part of Ontario, for Elda Ca
dogan is the wife of George Cadogan,
editor and publisher of The Durham
Chronicle.
In addition to her story in Mac
lean’s (and it is understood there are
more to come) she has written several one-act plays. Three of the plays
are being presented in Victoria next
month, and the sponsoring group have
asked Mrs, Cadogan to be- present
person for the opening night.

‘POPS’ CORN
The Henry GoerGe family, of R R 6,
Galt, nearly had popcorn for break
fast last week. A stove fire caused
$150 damage when it burned the kit
chen ceiling of their home and spread
to an upstairs bedroom where a'pile
of corn ears lay heaped on the floor.
Mrs, Goeree said the room doubled as
a corn dryer when the barn was too
wet.

sented to the Premier and Cabinet of ‘ ion in enacting the Milk Industry
“ ' ’ ' " ~ ' ■ — ' -' Act, but requested early implementa-

i quested,
i The matter
sidered from
Federation recommended that the full
capital cost of all schools be borne
by the provincial and |or federal gov
ernments. On the matter of Depart
ment of Agriculture appropriations,
it was pointed out over half of these
went for educational purposes such
as the Ontario Agricultural College
and other agricultural schools, and
extension education. Educational
needs of other sections of the econ
omy are covered by statutory grants
to schools and colleges for technical
training. The Federation asked that
the appropriations be increased to
cover these educational responsibili
ties and still enable the department
to employ the staff needed to meet
the increasing demands in the fields
I of research and marketing.
On the matter of expropriation of
I farm lands for hydro, highways, sea
way, housing and pipelines, Mr. Fer- | guson said the Federation recom
mended that the property owner
should be at least as well off after
all the desirable features of the old !
further urged that payments for ex
propriated lands should be made
I promptly. It was also suggested that
I price negotiations should be on a.
'.joint basis with all the farmers con-
I cerned rather than a whole series of
j individual negotiations.
Other recommendations included,
(further attention to conservation;.
' the establishment of a provincial
museum or pioneer village at the site
near Doon, in Waterloo County; the
use of as much Ontario products as
possible, including butter, in all in
stitutions financed by provincial
funds; rear-end crash guards on
trucks, removing 'racoons from the
protected list; and further attention to
previous recommendations on rural
1 assessment.
Ontario by the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture on November 25th. Not:
only were changes in the Farm Pro
ducts Marketing Act recommended,
but it was suggested that a new Cabi
net portfolio of Marketing and Co-
Operation be established. Other re
commendations concerned expropria
tion proceedings, education, rural as
sessment and several other items.
The presentation was made by Jack
Ferguson, president of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture,
In making the suggestion that a
new portfolio be established, Mr. Fer
guson pointed to the ever-growing
demands in the field of marketing.
These, coupled with the other many
and growing demands on the Minister
of Agriculture, made it virtually im
possible to confine the responsibili
ties of the Department to one port
folio.
• The rapid advance in commodity
marketing in Ontario, was noted,
with 25 products now being sold under
marketing plans. ’Mr, Ferguson told
the cabinet his organization endorses
the new system of agency marketing'
which has been employed in market
ing hogs, peaches, beans, cheese and
other products. In view of this de
velopment, it was urged that a new or
amended act be provided combining
Farm "products"Marketing" Act'"with 1 both financially and otherwise. It was
those features of the acts of other
provinces which are required to give
strength to the marketing program
in Ontario. This, it was stated, would
give Ontario producers confidence
and help them to carry through their
marketing plans with a minimum of
government assistance.
