Zurich Citizens News, 1965-01-07, Page 7PAGE SEVEN THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1965 FAME Suffers Severe Blow -- -Forfeit Plant Farmers' Allied Meat Enter - prizes Co-operative Limit e d, better known as FAME, took some bitter medicine this week when they were unable to meet the second payment 'of $1,150,- 000 on ih F. W. Farman Co. plant at Burlington, The large meat processing plant was purchased by FAME in September at a disclosed price of $3,500,000. Original i payment plans called for an initial payment of $2,500;000 with a remaining $1,000,000 mortgage. When the group paid only $1,500,000, British owner E, R. Gunner deferred payment of the additional million dollars, plus interest, until January 4, 1965. A last-ditch effort to raise the money was unsuccess- ful It is unlikely that the money already paid on the plant will be refunded. Plans Were Big FAME plans called for a means whereby farmers would be not only meat producers but as well, meat packers. The co-operative hoped to build a chain of seven process- ing plants throughout Ontario with the Burlington plant the initial step. Four slaughter and feeder sites at Ayr, Mari- posa, Mitchell and Neustadt were in the development stages. Trouble Brewing, FAME officials realized there was serious trouble ahead when financial aid in the forin of loans from the Bank of Nova Scotia and other farm groups was withdrawn or denied. Shareholders_ and other farm- ers together in the latter weeks of 1964 were able to raise only about $200,000 of the $1,500,000 needed to save the Burlington operation. 0 Wedding MacKinnon -Shaw Miss Mary Elizabeth Shaw, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Juliette, star of one of the longest -running variety shows on CBC television, performs for Canadians from coast to coast each Saturday night after the NHL hockey game.

As an example: This boy was standing near a candy machine, I was so horridly nervous my band was shaking, I nearly threw the coin down the wrong slot. Once I was drinking a bottle of pop, and I started to cough and choke until I thought I'd choke to death! People say nervousness comes from not being sure of oneself. What I can't understand is why I'm not sure of myself. Should I get a prescription for tran- quilizers, or what? NERVOUS WRECK DEAR NOT TOO — Is your motto "Be prepared!"? 1. This is optional. Usually the left side. 2. No. You can just grab him and run! —Unless, after more sober thought, you want your wedding day to stand out in memory, and in pictures you'll prize. DEAR DORIS—Shortly after marriage my husband was un- employed for a time so we moved in with an old bachelor (about 60) to help him run his farm. He was always kind to us and ,the kids. Now we have our own home. He visits us sometimes, brings toys for the kids. Drops in any old time. Sometimes drives me to a church meeting during the day. But what floors me is, some of the churchwomen are mak- ing sly remarks about me and him. The funniest part is, I don't run around. I love my husband dearly.
