No. 2, Turnberry, are busy preparing their Annual LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor Wingham Advance-Times Dear Sir; Mr, Duncan Kennedy now running for Mayor and in a great hurry to overtake his destination seems to have received from some. source or other a colossal amount of misinformation con- cerning conditions in the rectory loc- ated on Alfred Street and now owned and operated by Brown Bros. Before proceeding to diseminate this inform- ation, this bad news, he should have taken steps, as any decently careful man would have done to verify the ac- curancy of the statements given him, and to convince himself that they rea- lly were of the nature of "True Bills". His statements I have no hesitation in branding as utterly untrue, and just why Mr. Kennedy should itterate them now, on the eve of an election, when he has maintained a close sil- ence on them during his tenure of ,off- ice in the Council is utterly beyond my comprehension, unless he is now disclosing them in an attempt to hood- wink the ratepayers, to secure their votes and lay hold of that other iny- terious thing 'commonly known, (though certainly unknowable) "in- fluence." To probe conditions in the Brown Factory today and to ascertain properly and understandably how they are as they are it is absolutely necess- ary to make research further back than to the time of Brown's purchase of the property, and to bring into bold relief, certain facts then existant which made Browns "Take over and carry on" a very formidable task indeed. As Sec- retary of the Old Gunn-Son-Ola firm,. until three months Of its going, into liquidation I have a knowledge of these facts which no one else has possession of.. I know how they have militated against the revival of near to normal conditions. I know too that Browns have done everything they could pos- sibly do to enlarge their staff. This enlargement however was made utter- ly impossible as extra help was not Obtainable owing to the fact that no housing accomodation was available for those offering their service and a sufficient amount of the raw materials required in the construction of their products could not be purchased. Mr. Kennedy's statement that there are only eleven men working in the Fac- tory is not. true, There are twenty- five men on the payroll now and as things move towards normality and precisely as they so move, more men will be given employment. I ask Mr. Kennedy to pause and think just what night have' happened to the Factory if Browns had not taken it over. My own opinion is that it would have been wrecked as was the old Furniture Fac- tory on our Main Street. But Browns bought it and saved it from extinction. They have operated. it for the last few years at a distinct loss, Instead of being threatened with an increased 'as- sessment vote as Mr. Kennedy propos- es they should be given due credit for what they have done. Jas. G. Webster, • CHITTER-CHATTER FARM FORUM The Chitter-Chatter Farm Forum of the first line of Morr:s met at thelorne of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Breckenridge, with 63 in attendance..

Only exception to the order is cases already pending, which, Mr. King said, would be dealt with "expeditiously." The announcement came in a prepar- ed statement issued by the prime min- ister while he was n Quebec to attend a testimonial dinner for Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, minister of justice and ex- ternal affairs. The wage and salary regulations, which dated back to 1941, were an in- tegral part of the anti-inflation pro- gram and required approval of Gov'- eminent bodies before wages or salar- ies were increased. The various boards controlling wag- es and salaries will remain in existence until cases pending have been dealt with. After that they will be disband- ed. In general; the wages order, admin- istered by the Labor Department, ap- plied to workers paid on an hourly basis and lower-paid white-collar wor- kers. The salaries order, under the Finance Department, applied to higher- paid employees and executives. Mr. King said that while it was felt that the time had been reached when there was no longer need for wage and salary control, lifting of the orders did not mean a change of policy with re- gard to, control of prices and rents.
