XSAY f974-404GE Blyth man is elected chairman of Ontario Pork Producers B • Five of the seven directors who recently resigned -from the Ontario Pork- ,Producers Marketing Board Were retur- ned to '.offic-e at the Antual meeting held recently in Toronto. Adrian Vos of Blyth was named as director replacing ,.James McGregor of Kippen, •McGregor was one of the direc- tors who quit after an attempt to fire executive secretary James Boynton failed. The Kippen area farmer had made his intentions of quitting khown 4efore the mass resignations took place. The other vacancy created by the resignation of ‘, Vice- chairman Carr Clayton of Napa -nee was filled by Douglas Farrell" of MadOc. • • Mr. Farrell defeated Don Kptchapaw, Eastern Ontario dairy beef and hog producer, in, a secret 'ballot., Mt. 'McGregor seat on the board was won by: Adrian Vos of Blyth. All other incumbents were re-elected. ,Clayton told commit - teemen td remove, his name from the nominations and to support Mr. Farrell., He said circumstances made it im- possible for him to return to the *board. Speaking to delegates at the opening day of the two-day ,Federal Agricultural Minister. 'Eugene Whelan made a plea for eo-operation leadine eo a national fnarketing agency for the pork industry. He told the Ontario POrk• Producers Marketing Board annual meeting they face two challenges for survival. One is the emerging off -shore export market and the .other the—need .to co-operate provin- cially., Mr. Whelan pointed to the difficulties which could develop if some provinces try to go it along in stablizinh their own pork industries. ..1 think programs area good thing. But they can produce some very bad results if they are purely local or regional." "For ei.carriple if Manitoba and Saskatchewan start to pour many More millions of, dollars into their price stabilization, programs, pork producers in. those provinces would gain an artificial cOmpetitiVe edge over .(fCanada'p)orkprc)dyi o producers ther areas Mr. Whelan said if those two provinces developed huge short • term markets 'and then lost them a few years later it would il,unirnt tprvro.d, producers 'right across the (( Hsaid he favors a national agency and is willing to provide federalfunds for a natibnal price or in.corne stabilization program, "One of the ideas that has been put forward by -pork producers, in some parts of Canada is the creation of a national income :Stabilization „program. qbe basis* ideawould betoset aside In days of yore and sailing lore young men Went to the sea in ships at the early age of 15. Most of them, according to tradition, served as the master's servant or as "cabin -boy". To -day the boy -hood dream' of being a sailor is rare, ,but * there are still young men, enchanted by the -sea Who spend their entire lives in vessels of all sizes and shapes. One such young man is Walter Davis of Goderich. When he•was 15 and still in school Walter secured a job with the MacDonald Marine Co, plying' the blue water in the com-; 'Pany's lugs, After graduation from high ,school Walter at- • tended cadet school in Toronto at the Provibcial Institute of Trades, now George Brown College. • • „His first ocean, going assignment'was as second mate on a British vessel on which he served for nearly two years. Then it.was back toschool in pursuit of his dream, his own ship. After 'another year of education in navigation and engineering he returned to sea this time as a first mate on, another British ship. To obtain,a master's license' one must hive at least three year's experience as a first mate. After this one goes back to school, this time in Halifax, for another year before being granted a master's ticket,. • In Walter's case the ticket issued to him by the Ministry of Transport is a "Master Foreign Going". This entitles him to sail any vessel anywhere in the world as captain. A ctilinination ,seven years ,at sea and four ,at school •paid off for Walter Davis, now "Captain" WalteiDavis, Foreign Going. a certain percentage of income during the good years and draw from that fund during years when total income falls below a certain iioint.". He said both federal and provincial governments could contribute with producers paying' into the fund during years when, profii;•Were. up. "Nomminamans* “An income stabilization fund is a bit diffprent from a price stabilization .psogratn,” the federal minister said. He said the income fund "Would be- more likely to pay out money' to farmers when . they need it not just when prices fall below a certain point."
