This announcement was made at the annual meeting of the Ontario Poultry Producers Association which was held in the Royal York Hotel in Toron- to last week. Tom Robson of Leamington, president of the Poultry Producers, told dele- gates their efforts to bring a marketing plan for eggs into effect appeared to be closer to realization with general ac- ceptance of the plan by the Ontario Farm Products Market- ing Board and the approval of a vote in early November. The president assured the delegates that complete details of the plan would be drafted and available for study well before the actual plebiscite would be held. George Mc- Cague, Chairman of the On- tario Farm Products Marketing Board, told the egg producers that the introduction of a plan is not something that they can do by merely pushing a button. He suggested that once approval had been given by producers the logical move would be to obtain the services of a compe- tent and experienced manager who would then work with the trade, learning of their require- ments, seeking their co-opera- tion, and in general making recommendations that would be incorporated into the final plan. Mr, McCague stated that Producer Marketing Boards have done a good job for On- tario farmers and he expressed the hope that the producers of eggs would likewise benefit should they decide to imple- ment a plan. R. W. Carbert of the On- tario Federation of Agriculture was named as secretary -trea- surer, and Mr. Robson as the organization's member to the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture. A notice outside a Cape Town gymnasium caught the. eye of men beginning to feel their years. It read: "We make young colts out of old .45s."

MERCHANTS ASKED TO CHECK WITH NEWS- PAPER OFFICE Continued from Page One they will spend their advertis- ing dollars. However, the form of ad- vertising material mentioned above does require publication in the local paper if any value is to be realized from it and we have several times run across cartoon material which is unacceptable for use in our columns. Some material has been found to be faulty in its preparation, so that we were unable to utilize it. Also, since the method of reproduc- tion of this newspaper has been converted, we have new and different requirements for ad- vertising copy. A few years ago one of these salesmen managed to lose a good friend for us. He sold the man in question a year's supply of advertising mats, at a stiff price, and failed to make it clear that the merchant was paying only for the mats and not for the space in the paper. Despite the fact that the newspaper had not been notified or consulted the merchant was pretty peev- ed when we rendered our bill for the space his mats occupied. In the same vein we would also suggest that when outside advertising salesmen come in with propositions for telephone cards or school book covers, it would be a good idea to consult us before buying. In most instances of this kind The Advance -Times can offer you precisely the same product at prices about one-third as high as the outsider suggests. We are not attempting to "hog" ail the advertising dol lars in town, but after 12 years of doing business on Witigharn's main street, we feel that no one would be taking a very serious gamble by seeking our advice about advertising, Federal Election Leaves Minority PC's Victorious In This Area Progressive Conservative candidates were returned in al - Most all ridings of the north Western Ontario sector. In Wellington -Huron Marvin Rowe went back for his fifth term with a majority of 2614 over his nearest rival, Bill Til- den, Liberal. Elston Cardiff took the Huron riding without trouble, stacking up an impressive majority over Liberal Gordon Mcfavin. Mr. Cardiff has served 23 years in the House of Commons, this being his 8th victory at the polls. Eric Winkler, the PC incum- bent was returned in Grey - Bruce where he has served since 1957. He defeated Duncan McCallum, Liberal, Social' Credit and NDP candidates as well. Percy Noble, PC, was re- tumed in Grey North, defeating Arthur Harrison, Liberal and two other candidates. In Perth, Health Minister J. Waldo Monteith defeated the Liberal candidate, R. N, Bisson- nette. In the riding of Bruce the PC candidate, John Loney, was elected for the first time to succeed Andy Robinson, retired Conservative member. He de- feated John MacKenzie, Liberal and Alex Scarrow, Independent. After weeks of election pree, sure and several million dollars in expenses, Canadians still don't know where they stand when it comes to federal government. Monday's voting served only to put the shoes on the other feet. The Liberals under Les- ter B. Pearson now have the largest representation in the House of Commons with 128 seats; the Progressive Conserva- tives emerged in second place with 96 seats; Social Credit came out with 24 and the NDP with 17. Party standings are roughly the same as following the June election except that Liberals and PC's have changed places. A few seats are still in doubt and will remain so until the week -end when the soldier vote is counted. The most significant and disappointing factor in the en- tire election is that Canada will not have a majority government, since no one party has more representatives than all others combined. In fact Mr. Diefenbaker on Tues- day had not agreed that his party would step out of office— a situation which can occur when the people do not elect a clear majority. It is likely, however, that the Liberals will assume office—to face the same sort of tight -rope operation which has been the lot of the Conservatives for the past 10 months. SPLINTERS STATIC The election did settle a And a LiffIe Child .. . By Ann Bowman It was a lovely spring day, and the two women sat facing each other, sipping tea in the pleasant covered verandah be- longing to the first and older woman, recently the mother- in-law of the girl who sat with her. She was perturbed, want- ing to speak to her daughter- in-law, not knowing how she could broach the subject with- out seeming to interfere. Finally, she leaned forward, smiled gently and said; "Mary, do you think that money is the all-important question in mar- riage, even during the first years? Don't you think, per- haps, there are other things to be considered? I'd like, quite sincerely, to know what you feel." "I know what you mean," Mary replied, "But the point is, Mother, Jake has no money. He could earn a lot within the next few years if he set up in practice in the small town he's heard about. They've only one other M.D. there, and the town's growing like mad." "I agree," answered the older woman. "But how does Jake feel about it? Now that he knows he has a chance of getting that National Cancer Institute Fellowship, does he not prefer to do research — small as the Fellowship may be compared to what he might earn in practice?" "Yes, I know. But couldn't he do research in a few years, when we've had an opportunity to buy a house, get the things we want, and with the baby coming and all don't you see?" "I do, dear, yes," answered the older woman, "and if you really feel this way, perhaps I should not try to persuade you otherwise." The afternoon came to an amiable close, and within a month, Mary and Jake were settled in a little Ontario town, serving the hundreds of inhabit- ants who had sorely missed having an extra general practi- tioner around. Then their child was born, a lovely boy, and their excite- inent and happiness knew no bounds. Secretly, Mary con- gratulated herself on the fact that she had been able to per- suade Jake to go into practice rather than research -- they were comfortably off now, with few financial worries, and many friends. e A year and a half later the •child became i11. Jake had his own desperate fear as to the cause. He consulted a special- ist. The diagnosis was confirm- ed. Their son had cancer in the form of a brain tumour. He became one of the 199 small patients to be treated for vari- ous forms of cancer at the Princess Margaret Hospital dux- ing 1962. Sitting beside her son's bed in the hospital, Mary had long hours in which to think, to search herself for those values which had caused her to per- suade her husband to enter private practice rather than cancer research. In the end, even before their small son was finally ta- ken home, she had told Jake: "I know now what was eating you when we talked about it before. If what you felt about this disease, and the need to work towards a cure — at all cost — is what I feel now, then let's do what you want. Take your Fellowship this year, if you can -- and get to work. Nothing — nothing in the world — is as important as see- ing that our children are finally relieved from this scourge. I'm with you all the way." The 50, 000 volunteers at work in the Canadian Cancer Society in Ontario, feel the same as this young mother. Eighty-five percent of the funds they collect go to the National Cancer Institute to support can- cer research. FLOWER WREATHS KEPT GREEK HEADS COOL After a banquet in ancient Greece, the guests and hosts were crowned with flower wreaths by the slave attendants These were renewed from time to time, during the drinking bout that customarily followed, as they served to keep the head cool. THE FISHER THAT WON'T The fisher, a Canadian ani- mal of the marten family, does not eat fish. It is a bold and voracious hunter of small animals, frogs and birds. The fisher, or pekan, runs to a body length of 24 inches with a 13 -inch tail, Its fur is of great value. It lives usually in the Most remote woodlands. Wingharn Advance -Times, Thursday, April I.J., 1963 .- Page S MAX ACT ON VANDALISM Forest Tract Caretakers Trained in Fire Control Trees on the five forest tracts in the Wingham area have reached a point in their growth where they present an extremely serious fire hazard. The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests is so concern- ed with the danger in these maturing woodlots that it has begun a program aimed at tightening its fire protection few questions which were ie the voters' minds. It had been widely rumored that the Social Credit Party would make big gains in Quebec, and such did not prove to be the case. Similarly, the election of former Saskatchewan premier Tommy Douglas to leadership of the New Democratic Party last summer was heralded as the major threat to the two older parties, but Monday's vote did not indicate that Canadians are seriously inter- ested in Socialism. The Canadian West went fairly solidly for the PC party, while Tory Toronto did a full- scale switch and came all out for the Liberals. Western On- tario, and particularly the ridings in our own section fol- lowed a consistent pattern of voting the way they did in June. A majority of the seats were retained by the Conservatives. The vote, right across the country was heavy. Many ridings marked up records for percentage of voters casting their ballots. Final decision about the composition of our next govern- ment may be withheld until Parliament can be called next month. If the Paper Doesn't Come My dad says that our paper it just ain't put up right, He finds a lot of fault there, perusin' all night. He says, " There ain't a single line you would hardly want to read." He tosses it aside and says, "Oh my ho hum." —But you ought to hear him holler if the paper doesn't come. He reads about the weddings and sports like all get out, He reads about the socials with a most derisive shout, He says " They make the papers just for women -folks alone". He reads about a party and starts to fret and groan. He says, "For information you can hardly read a crumb." BUT you ought to hear him holler if the paper doesn't come. Still he's always first to grab it and reads it plumb clean through, He doesn't miss an item of"For Sale" advt.—that's true. He says, "They don't know what we want—them d'rn newspaper guys. I'm going to take a day some- time and put them fellows wise; Why sometimes you would think they are deaf, blind and dumb." —But BOY does Papa holler if that paper doesn't come! system for the tracts, W, E, Moore, zone foreman at Stratford with the Depart- ment, says that capable care- takers, each living near the forest tracts, have been chosen for the five areas which .are in the immediate vicinity of W inghatn . The caretakers have been trained in fire control and are equipped with the necessary tools to suppress a fire until further aid arrives. It is the hope of the department, Mr. Moore says, that the citizens of this area will get to know who the caretakers are for nearby tracts, so that in the event of fire, no time would be lost in spreading the alarm. The Department's program for the forest tracts in this vicinity also calls for protection from vandalism and theft. Care- takers have been authorized to act upon any misdemeanor within their boundaries and re- port violations to department personnel, Hunting, fishing and hiking are permissible in any County or Authority Forest. Signs are posted at all entrances request- ing citizens to use infinite care not to cause fires. The forest managed by the Department present a magnifi- cent picture for the outdoors - man. There are great stands of softwood plantations and in some cases, mixed woodlots ranging in age from the recent plantings of 1962 to 60 -year- old specimens. But with this beauty, Mr. Moore says, goes the fire threat brought about by their age. Caretakers for the five tracts in this area are: Adams tract, Robert Earl; Rodgers tract, Ger- ritt Beimers; Pollard and Ament, Beverly Riley; Stevenson, Clif- ford Marks.
