TREASURE HUNTING — This past weeks mild weather gave many individuals tile oppor- tunity to practice some hobbies which normally would wait until spring, While Billy Bieber and Bill Bieber look on, Jody Mosurinjohn tries out his metal detector on the lawn of Exeter Public School Saturday, T-A photo Holstein club meets Speakers defend quotas keep quota in the province Utilized in the 93 to 84 per cent range so other provinces won't demand it. He said the bulk of the quota has been leased by five to 15,000 bird egg producers and the policy has worked "very, very well." Gord Hill of Varna told the board chairmen he had read in a report that when quota values go too high in an in- dustry, then the boards would introduce more quota, He asked the speakers when this was going to happen. Mr. McKinnon said the OMPMB doesn't plan to introduce more quota at this time, since there is enough quota for the market now. Mr. McKinnon said he thought the comment on new quota was cautioned with the comment that it would only work in some commodities.. Mr, Johnstone said the egg board will be monitoring the prices to which quota goes but told Mr. Hill the organization must work within national quota bounds. He said 'his board hopes "quota values won't get out of sight." He said the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency (CEMA) is now looking at the export development markets and hope to be able to sell Canadian eggs to the Middle East. • Following the question period, audience members debated a draft policy on marketing quotas which will be submitted to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture board of directors. Among the suggested' objectives of having quota market value were: quota value should be minimized; quota should be used as an important tool to restrict vertical integration and the tendency to dominance of production by a few producers; in the current (1979) climate of opinion, marketing boards should continue to exclude quota market value from any calculations of cost of production used for purposes of price negotiation; quota administration should help transfer of quota lrena Mayeska.

At a meeting in Clinton, Thursday, club directors and members made plans for a canvass of members by local directors who will go over any problems new members may be having with their cattle operation Special kits of information are being made up to give to the new members, In other business com- mittees were named for the upcoming events in 1980. They are: Bus trip; Dennis Martin, Ken Ramsey, and Murray Donaldson; Twilight meeting; Bob Vodden, Bill Gibbins, Hank Binnendyk and Dennis Martin; creates an atmosphere that harshly pinpoints the spiritual and mental decay of modern man. Equus will open on January 16 at 8:00 p.m. on the Grand Stage and will continue until February 2, with Previews for Students and Senior Citizens on January 14 & 15.

The annual meeting committee is Joe Van Oesch Keith Johnston, Hank Binnendyke, and Elwood Seili, Bob McNeil was re-elected to a two year term as councillor to the Ontario Holstein Association. Dave Marshall has one year left of his two year term. Each county has two elected members on the council. Dave Dalzell from the Clinton Kinsmen and the After several years the Tiger Times team has grown from nine to 36. In order to give everyone a fair chance four teams have been selected. Each candidate contributed to a resume of a month of 1979, This review of .the fall activities has been used as a basis for our first report this season. In September we em- barked on a new 196 day adventure. The whole school was aware of the exodus to Camp Sylvan where the Grade Eight students par- ticipated in about equal measure of work, study, pleasure and learning ex- periences. Cheerleaders were visited by represen- tatives of the S.H.D.H.S. cheerleading squad and participated in the Exeter Fall Fair parade. Two exciting days highlighted October. For International Day of the Child all pupils chose to participate in a study of about one of fifteen coun- tries. Each group worked in the morning to learn from slides, movies and speakers what was special about the country of their choice. Some prepared foods, plays, songs, or games to share in the Clinton Fair board met with the club to iron out a few requests concerning the fair for 1980, The club requested that a better sound system be available for the judging and Mr. Dalzell said that due to the lack of time last year the system was not working properly but assured members it would be in working order in plenty of time this year. He also informed mem- bers that there may be a possibility of more barn space if an older building were cleaned up. He could foresee no possibility of the fair board building a larger barn or even a lean-to. The Holstein club proposed that they advertise more for the black and white show at the fair to help promote the Fair. Two representatives Bill Gibbings and Murray Howatt were appointed to help the fair board in setting up the barns etc. assembly following lunch. The day was an exciting experience. The Student Council sponsored two Hallowe'en events - a costume party for K to 5 and a sock hop for Grade 6 to 8. The children also participated in U.N.I.C.E.F. 1979 collections with a better understanding because of our International Year of the Child activities, The first week in November was special because the Globe and Mail series on King Tut was made available to all class rooms. Slides and films introduced the students to the kinds of articles being shown in the display and gave them a look into ancient history. A Remembrance Day Service was held on November 9th. With each class laying a symbolic wreath made by the pupils. The Primary and Junior classes put on a very attractive Arts and Crafts Fair on November 26 with many well- deserved prizes being awarded. The Christmas Spirit made its appearance at Stephen with the senior students painting Christmas sketches on windows and preparing murals to brighten the halls. We celebrated Christmas by presenting "The Christmas Story" on December 20, All three choirs participated and a number of soloists con- tributed to the pantomime success, December 12 a group of Mr. Lowndes Theatre Arts students from SHDHS presented a play for the primary pupils. It was very well received although the dragon nearly stole the show. December 14 was a Student Council event featuring Dicky Dean and Marg with their magic act. A special collection at this event was matched by the Student Council so that a contribution of $212 could be sent, along with gifts of food to the Walden family of Huron Park. Everyone was now looking forward to vacation, even the teachers. Their treat for us was a movie called "Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy." 1979 ended on a happy note and 1980 looks promising. We are looking forward to making regular contributions to the Times Advocate in the year ahead. By ALICE GIBB Quotas, quota values and the supply management system were defended by Ken McKinnon, chairman of the Ontario Milk Producers' Marketing Board (OMPMB) and Jim Johnstone, chair- man of the Ontario Egg Producers' Marketing Board at the January meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Clinton on Thursday. Mr. McKinnon told an audience of over 100 people that he believes quotas in the milk industry should be "as open and freely transferable as possible." He said quota values should be determined by the marketplace.. The marketing board chairman said one concern raised about milk quotas has been that current prices make it difficult for young people wanting to enter the 'dairy industry. He told the audience the marketing board, in legislation regarding quota transfers, is "required to use people the same way." He added, "If anybody is going to get into the milk industry today, you're talking several thousand dollars per cow." (this figure include cost of the quota). Mr. McKinnon said the value of a quota system is that it brings stability and guarantees each producer a share of the market. In defending quota prices, Mr. McKinnon said his board will be looking at the formula for pricing quotas in the future. He pointed out studies have shown that "high prices aren't necessarily bad"and added, "they don't cost the con- sumer a cent." The marketing board chairman told the audience he doesn't see how it would be possible to do without quota values and said this issue leads to the question of how best to use capital within the dairy industry. He told producers today "far- ming is just as tough as any business down in the city" and that farmers must act like it is. He warned producers must be prepared to operate more on borrowed capital in the future. New Quota Exchange In response to a question from the audience, Mr. McKinnon said his marketing board is going to be introducing a new quota exchange system in the future which will allow a new producer in the dairy in- dustry the same chance to share in available quota. Under this system, the quota will be sold for the highest dollar. Mr. McKinnon said the board hopes this new ex- change system will prevent third party involvement in quota transfers. In response to another question, the chairman said it's wrong to speculate the quota will all be bought up by wealthy farmers. He said if large corporations had wanted to takeover the milk industry, they've already had ample opportunity to do that. The speaker said quota didn't get into the hands of large operators in the past and that today there are only 26 herds milking over 150 cows in the province and only two herds milking over 200 cows-and one of these is at the Agriculture Canada Research Station. Mr. McKinnon said the new quota exchange system will be introduced to producers at a series of information meetings which will be held across the province. He said the system will go into effect with as few controls as possible and will be reviewed at the end of six months. The OMPMB proposes to start the new quota transfer system in March. In response to another question on the possibility of quota values drastically increasing, Mr. McKinnon said he Speculates the market share quota value will actually go down after a few months of the new system. Jim Johnstone, chairman of the Ontario Egg Producers Marketing Board, told the audience the more farmers discuss quotas, the "more problems we seem to run into." He said until this year, the egg marketing board always sold quota with a farm and didn't have any face-to-face quota buying system in ef- fect. Mr. Johnstone said in the past, people have been able to get into the egg industry by buying farms. He said now it would cost a producer $13-$14 per bird to get into egg production and he praised the quota system saying it's "insurance you can recover your investment over a period of time." Face-to-Face Sales The marketing board chairman said new the board has decided to open the system up,, "very slowly and very quietly." Producers will be allowed to buy 10 per cent, of their current quota, "so everyone eventually gets their barns filled," the speaker said. A member of the audience asked Mr. Johnstone if there wasn't a danger that some day "we'll be down to one producer in Ontario." Mr, Johnstone replied if' con- sumer pressure gets to the point where they say we must have large corporate farms, then government policy may dictate this. However, the marketing board chairman added, "I don't think producers will let this happen." He told the audience right now the average size of flocks in the egg business in the province is 9,000 birds and he said the tradition of small family farm , operations in Canada seems to be continuing, unlike the U.S., where corporate farms are becoming more com- mon. Mr. Johnstone also discussed the board's quota leasing program with the audience. He said under the leasing' program one producer may want another producer's quota for two crops. Mr. Johnstone said this plan was implemented by the board so provincial producers would be using all their nationally allotted quota. He said under this policy, producers with a chunk of quota they can't use can rent it to a producer who has space in his barns and can make use of the quota. At the end of a one year lease, the original egg producer can take back his quota or can sell it to the board.

Mr. McKinnon said calculating the cost of quota in the price of goods wouldn't be a defensible position in terms of the public. He said interest rates, however, could be considered depending on how the for- mula is calculated. The draft policy on quotas will be discussed at the OFA board level and forwarded to the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.
