meeting held recently in
Toronto.

named as director replacing
,.James McGregor of Kippen,

tors who quit after an attempt

The Kippen area farmer had
made his intentions of quitting
khown 4efore the mass

The other vacancy created by
the resignation of ‘, Vice-
chairman Carr Clayton of
Napa -nee was filled by Douglas

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

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."
