PG. 32 THE RURAL VOICE, JUNE 1983
United Kingdom. Small said Gadd is
looking forward to coming to Canada for
the Pork Congress and has asked to see
some swine operations here in Ontario
for further stories to relate to his English
readers.
The popularity and success of this
Congress is quietly evident to organizers.
Small said that all the inside exhibitor
space has been booked months in
advance.
For outsiders, it would be sensible to
assume that as the big days of June 21,
22, 23 approach that committee members
would be pulling out their hair in order to
check every little detail. Not so, said
President Small.
"I don't want to sound like I'm blowing
a horn or acting overly humble but
everything is so well organized and dele-
gated so well that as the day draws near
it is not as hectic as one might imagine,"
said Small.
It is the kind of enthusiasm that Small
radiates that must infect so many others.
A one time pork producer, she and her
husband operated a farrow -to -finish op-
eration near Wroxeter.
Now Small works part time in a store in
Stratford while her husband is a swine
consultant for a feed company.
Small claims that it is the good
communication between former chair-
men and the new chairmen that allows
for easy planning. But organizers are
always on the look -out for new blood and
new ideas for their committees. There is
no definition of membership and it is
open to anyone of any age or involve-
ment.
The popularity of the Congress is
evident not only in attendance from
Ontarians and Americans but visitors
from England, Sweden, Philippines,
Cuba, Thailand, Japan, Venezuela, Mex-
ico, and many other countries.
But the biggest unwritten benefit of
the Congress has to be the sociability
and friendship that results from being a
part of the Congress.
Both industry people who show off
their new ideas and glean new ones from
talking to the producers, and producers
who talk to members of their industry
and those from the industrial end of
things, come out winners. L
