The Gorrje United Church was at
tractively decorated with late autumn
flowers for the anniversary services
on Sunday. Large congregations gath
ered in spite of the rainy weather.
The Rev. A. W, Watson, of Blyth,
was the preacher and at the morning
service chose as his theme, “Feed the
church of God and make it strong.”
“This task is strenuous to maintain
and our belief must be strong to bear
up in this world, and needs a solid
foundation,” the speaker said, “Our
church is a protection in the world
and needs the support of its people
by attendance and talents, If every
one lifts it will lighten the load,” Mr.
Watson continued.
The choir, under the direction of
Mrs, Harry Rhame, organist, sang the
anthem, "I Will Extol Thee” and
Miss Marlene Feigel sang, “Consider
and Hear Me.”
At the evening service Mr. Watson
took as his text Exodus 1:12, “But
the more they afflicted them the more
they carried on and grew,” bringing a
message for Christians of the present
■ day to carry on despite discourage- I ments and seeming defeat. Christ
went on in spite of the cross and
brought light to men.
The choir sang the anthem, “Open
My Eyes that I May See” and Miss
Marlene Feigel sang, “Spirit of God,”

helped, they wouldn’t likely have been
able to go at all!
One morning this week I had oc
casion to go into Wingham, Of
course the stores don’t open till 9
o'clock, so I went to the field and
ploughed for a while. When I did
go in about 945 some of them were
still replenishing their stock, arrang
ing their display, etc., hardly ready
to wait on customers,

Elmer Zinn,
Wroxeter R.R. 1
Editor’s Note—If Mr, Zinn thinks
our report of the Hog Producers'
meeting is biased, that is certainly
his privilege. However, since it is
impossible to print every word that
is spoken at such a gathering, Mr.
Parker and his supporters could make
the same claim against this newspa
per, with equal lack of truth.
This paper was interested only in
reporting as fairly as could be, what
took place at the meeting and it is
possible that if there is any bias it
lies with the reader who was able
to interpret our report as he did.
After thirteen years of personal ac
quaintanceship with the editor, Mr.
Zinn knows better than to suggest
BOX 473
Editor,
Wingham Advance-Times,
Dear Sir:
After reading the account in your
paper of the hog producers’ meeting
held in Wingham HjS. recently, many
of us were much disappointed at the
somewhat-biased way in which it was reported.
You said Mr. Parker waved his
cheque and challenged Mr. McInnis,
president of the Ontario Hog Produc
ers’ Co-operative, • to invoke the law
against the packing plant to prove
whether or not the hog marketing
legislation is legal, but you didn’t
give Mr. McInnis’ reply. Mr. Mc
Innis said this legislation was drafted
by the Attorney-General’s department
in Toronto and passed by the govern
ment. The only point brought up is
whether the Provincial Government
has power to pass legislation of this
type or if such powers rest with the
Federal Government. It may have to
be taken to the Supreme Court to de
cide. If the Ontario Government can’t
do it the Federal Government cer
tainly will, Mr. McInnis said, for Mr.
Gardiner favors legislation of this
type.
In the meantime it is a law of On
tario, and surely your paper does not
believe in giving your support to the
packing plants and others, in flouting
our Government and the laws of our
province.
As to Mr. Stemler’s remarks, he
showed so little understanding of the
hog industry one wonders if he is en
gaged in work of this kind at all.
With regard to your quip about the
late hour at which the farmers gath
ered, why did you not print the time
it was to be held in your paper. No
one seemed sure of the time it was
called for.
Anyway, we don’t have a 40-hour
week on the farm as so many do in
town. If we did, you would be paying
a lot more for your farm products
than you are doing today. I expect
most of those men who attended
worked in the field till dark, then had
to get their supper and do the milk
ing, feed the hogs and other farm
chores. If the wife and family hadn’t
that we are in any way unsympathetic
to farmers and their problems.
In regard to the 40-hpur week, we
are indeed in a position to sympathize
With Mr, Zinn, since our week is no
more confined to 40 hours than is his.
In fact, the person wjio covered the
Hog Producers’ meeting spent four
hours of overtime to do so—following
a full day’s work, which we might
add, started well before nine in the
morning.
