Ottawa meeting called on dairy support policy Farm representatives from across the country have been called to Ottawa for an emer- gency meeting on the dairy sup- port policy announced Wednes- day by the federal government. Telegrams announcing the meet- ing went out Thursday afternoon from the national office of the Canadian Federation of Agricul- ture to farm and dairy organiza- tions across the country. The O.F.A. said the'ineet- ing is necessary "to consider the implications of Wednesday's announcement on dairy prices and to decide what action should be taken." Asked what kind of action he has in mind, 0.F. A. president Charles Munro of Embro said the Federation has no specific plans at the moment of what action will be necessary. "That's what we're holding this meeting for," he said, "to plan what we should be doing." Mr. Munro described as "com- pletely unsatisfactory" the sup- port price of $4.75 a hundred- weight announced Wednesday for manufacturing milk. The Federation has gone on record that $5.00 is the mini- mum price at which farmers can profitably produce indust- rial milk, he said. "Our only conclusion is that Mr. Greene doesn't think the farmersmeant what they said when they call- ed for $5.00 milk." He said a big blow to many producers is the exclusion of fluid milk shippers from the programme. Getting the in- dustrial milk support price for their surplus fluid was an "es- sential part" of their operations. Mr. Munro said he doesn't think the $120 million allocat- ed to the program for the com- ing dairy year will be enough. He said there are indications production will be up over last year, even with the quotas an- nounced recently by the dairy commission. The commission is gamb- ling, according to Mr. Munro, that there will be enough mon- ey to keep the subsidies up to the levels announced Wednes- day. "If they have guessed wrong," he said, "it will be the farmers that lose." PANTRY PATRIOTS LAKELET—Mrs. H. Wallace opened her home for the sixth meeting. For roll call each girl gave "One thing I already know about Scandinavia or Fin- land". Cosmopolitan cabbage, the topic for the club's demonstra , tion at Achievement Day, was discussed.

Addressing the board's annual! meeting in Toronto, Peter Mac- Kinnon of Bath described as "atrocious" the existence of both. the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Farmer's Union. "It's a luxury we can't af- ford," he said, "and I don't mean in dollars and cents -- I mean we cannot afford the dis- unity. It is a mistake for which we will have to pay dearly in the future." Mr. MacKinnon said he does not care "whether the OFA joins the OFU or vice versa, nor what they call it, as long as we have one strong farm organization." Earlier in his address, Mr. MacKinnon pointed to the in- creased strength of labour and business in Canadian society. He said this is the time "when agriculture is in the greatest need of a strong voice," Mr. MacKinnon also called for merger of some of the pro- vince's marketing boards. He said many of the approximate- ly 20 marketing boards "have similar operations and the same farm members. Some of these boards are large enough and well enough financed that they can offer a complete marketing service." He said, "Ours is not one of these." Mr. MacKinnon suggested that all grain, including white beans and soybeans could be marketed under one board. (At present there are three boards involved in grain marketing in Ontario: The Wheat Producers, the Bean Producers, and the Soy- bean Growers). He said all the grain would not have to be marketed the same way if it was all handled by one board. Each grain could still be sold under the system best suited to it. Advantages of having one marketing board in grain, as outlined by Mr. MacKinnon in- cluded: - Better market infor- mation to base decisions; - suf- ficient volume to employ a full- time agent; - more economical use of office space and staff; - sufficient size to hire the most competent people available.

Higher Ontario Welfare Al- lowances and broader coverage based on need will replace the system of flat rate payments April 1. The new allowances are established under the Fam- ily Benefits Act introduced into legislature by Welfare Minister John Yaremko. The Act provides that an al- lowance based on needs will be paid to anyone who by reason of disability, age, loss of the principal family provider, or permanent unemployability, is unable to provide adequately for himself or dependants. The Act which replaces all provincial welfare programs ex- cept the municipally adminis- Sales are up but net profits lower BELGRAVE—The Belgrave Co-op annual meeting was a lively affair this year when members challenged the fact that although sales had risen nearly $40, 000 net savings were down $6, 000. The president's address was the subject of a dispute and members wondered if the management agreement should be done away with. Ro- bert McKercher, 1st vice- president of U.C.O. explained the meaning of a merger with U.C.O. but Belgrave members like their independence and did not like this idea. Guest speaker was Curtis Smutz who used as his theme, "The Old Order Changes Yield- ing Place to New". He stated, "We are living in a world of changing facts, a world of changing times. We are mov- ing ahead so fast that we can- not keep up to what we are do- ing and we are also applying yesterday's answers to today's problems." He closed by re- marking "We can't stand still but we can keep on pioneering co-operatively." Election of officers saw three men returned for a three-year term: Jack Wickstead, Arnold Bruce and Ronald Coultes. Other directors are Wilfred Haines, George Johnston, George Powell, Robert Coultes, Sam Pletch and Albert Bieman. Mr. Coultes did not let his name stand for re-election. Music for the evening was supplied by Mrs. George John- ston with songs by Clark John- ston. trated General Welfare Assist- ance Act, takes advantage of the Canada assistance Plan, by which the Federal Government will reimburse 5052 of a provin- ces welfare expenditures. Under the new term a dis- abled person is defined as any- one with a major physical or mental impairment that is like- ly to continue for a prolonged period. The Act takes the prin- ciple that where a recipient is a member of a family, the needs of the household as a whole will be considered. Pres- ent welfare recipients will not have to re-apply for aid under the new setup. Three new categories will be eligible for assistance: (1) The wife of an old age pensioner if she is in need and 60 or more. (2) The wife of a recipient or former recipient of provincial welfare allowances if she is 60 or has dependant children. (3) A disabled person living in a home for the retarded. For a single person, the act provides a monthly allowance of up to $105 and a minimum if he has no outside income of $85, A single person could earn up to $24 and still receive the maxi- mum allowance. A blind or disabled person will receive an additional $10 Fair board will sponsor parade FORDWICH—A meeting of the Howick Fall Fair Board was held Monday night.
