(News -Record photo) Huron third largest -pork producer At the annual meeting of the Huron County Pork Producers Association last week president Eric Moore of Goderich told the gathering that Huron county producers shipped more than a quarter of a million hogs to market in 1974. The total number of producers was 1,998, making Huron the third largest pork producer in Ontario. Keith Weeden, the chairman of the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board, told the farmers s that the cutoffpoint o int of 180 pounds, where a severe price penalty is imposed, will be extended to graduate down to 200 pounds. This has been a sore point with many hog producers and has been raised at numerous pork "meetings. When asked when this would come into effect, , Mr. Weeden n said that negotiations with packers and governments are not completed, so a definite date is not knoll n yet. ..P Cif : reat concerto the ,,pork •s.•' • restrictio s a b .e. .S. The protection the government gave to the beefmen in restricting beef imports to a five year average, have backfired to the porkmen, as the Americans restricted Canadian pork exports to almost 50 percent. Decisions made now on the number of sows to keep, will determine the amount of pork coming to market in 1976, he said. The market in Quebec has dried up with an increased production there of 19 percent and a target of another 10 percent. ' In referring g to labour disputes, Mr. Weeden con- tended that strikes affected producers' cost and in the end the cost to consumers. It should not be allowed, he said, that innocent people get hurt. The disruption in the market place is fantastic, and producers and consumers should get togetherether Maybe it to find a solution. Ma y should be compulsory ar- bitration after a certain time. On supply management, he said that heA was not against 1 na =idtial program in or oilier to - work. The export possibilities to Japan are limited right now, as the Japanese government has a tariff policy to protect their farmers. Mr. Weeden spoke with 14 trading companies on his recent trade mission to Japan and many of them doubted these restrictions would last, as grain is too expensive to import and foreign exchange is limited. There is some com- petition from Taiwan, but the quality of that pork is low, so Canadian pork is preferred. The potential is enormous, he said,if one only realizes that in alone . live as many Tokyo , people as half the total Canadian population. In other business before the meeting, Ron Dougal of Exeter was elected to represent Usborne Township, to replace Alvin Cudmore, who passed away latt dear in a tragic and Tom id ant automobile accident, , Pappin of Seaforth was elected to replace Ken Kernigan of Tuckersmith Township, who went out of pork production. «1/2,4404.AritgrAuc,Wrar A Clinton loses secretarial prograni Conestoga College announced last week that the post secondary secretarial program year one and two, currently offered at the Clinton Centre, will be transferred to the Stratford Centre of Conestoga College, effective September 1975. . The decision followed a careful study of the learning facilities at the Clinton Centre, and of the suggestions of faculty, secretarial students, Legion news and members of the com- munity. The study indicates that the transfer is necessary if the quality of the learning experience offered in this program is to be maintained at the optimum level of ef- fectiveness.. The Stratford Centre, located in an urban setting with a high population density, offers more viable research\and career (as well as potential enrollment) opportunities. The presence of a post secondary business administration program and a nursing division in Stratford will provide desirable peer, faculty and activity association. The Stratford Centre is generally better established and more favourably located for the positive growth and develop- ment of a dynamic and in- novative post secondary secretarial arts program.

Initiation was the next order of business and the four '25' year men joined Ivan to accept Frank Fulcher as an "or- dinary" member and Bob Phillips and John McPherson as "associate" members. "Associate" members are sons and daughters of Legion and it was very members proper that John McPherson was initiated by proxy, his father Harold serving in this capacity.

The members thank Nancy Castle for sup- plying as candidate for Queen of the Carnival and are pleased that she did so well. Jack Reid as parade Marshall and John Lawson, his able assistant, deserve credit for the parade.

Thanks to all our members and friends we have ap- proximately been able to donate P- proximately $1200. so far this year to such things as Minor Hockey, Children's Aid, Mental Rrded,�,A►bilil Fund, Centennial • Band an others, and felt you the public might be interested. The Branch is also donating the hall to the soccer club in order to assist it with its finances. All proceeds go to the soccer club so when it has its night, we hope it will be well attended. Sorry 1 haven't all the names of team members but .the evening passed in such fun there wasn't tin, for many notes. After a delicious pot luck dinner and beverages, Barry Davis announced the winners and presented prizes of wine, cheese and glasses to team members. Jenny Russo won the Curling Club draw for a bottle of spirits. Another highlight of the evening was the Februat'y Share -the -Wealth draw. Mrs. Nellie Gonie, president of the Vanastra Community Association announced the winner, Mrs. „Given Moller of Goderich. Club members and guest enjoyed a fun filled evening.
