Dairy producers ac oss Canada
set aside a record sign of over
$372,000 in 1956 for use in their
1957 advertising program, accord-
ing to information tabled recently
at a meeting of the management
committee of Dairy Farmers of
Canada. Based on a deduction of
a cent -a -pound on butterfat mar-
keted in June each Year, the best
previous set-aside was $365,000 in
1954.
While officials of Dairy Farmers
of Canada view the 1956 set-aside
with satisfaction, they are quick
to point out that a 100 per cent
set-aside in 1956 ° would have
amounted to $651,000. Main diffi-
culty in reaching the potential has
been experienced in Quebec and
Ontario, the largest producers of
milk and cream= The set-aside po-
tential of these two provinces col-
lectively in 1956, was S469,0004 Al-

ment. (7) The presence of tem-

INTEREST LOW AS FEW SUBSCRIBERS
ATTEND BLYTH TELEPHONE MEETING
Lack of interest in the affairs of
the system was indicated by the
simall attendance at the annual
meeting of the Blyth Municipal
Telephone System in Blyth Satur-
day afternoon according to com-
missioners of the system. Diffi-
culties face the system it was point-
ed out, '
"Blyth municipal system has the
lowest rates of any company, but
this cannot be maintained indefin-
itely. Before long the switch board
will have to be replaced," com-
missioner James Phelan told the
meeting.
"It is a tough time," be said, "to
be a commissioner; there are big
decisions to make and a small
company cannot afford to make
mistakes."
Mr. Phelan appealed to the sub -
miters to "report their difficul-
ties to lineman Donald Voting—
who
otingwho hasproved himself to be
prompt andefficient."
In analysing the financial state-
ment, Mr. Phelan stated: "It looks
good on paper, but in actuality the,
figures are much less rosy ,than
they appear to be."
He explained the futility df op,
posing -the telephone tax to which
the commissioners objected in Tor-
otto, and' said he was disappointed

Chairman George McNall refer-
red to the commissioner's trip to
Toronto to• try to defend the system
against taxation; he said they got
little support, from the Canadian
Telephone Association. Mr, McNall
stated further: "The cost of oper-
ating the system has doubled over
the past 10 years." Cable and wire
have doubled in' price and some
of it trebled, The lineman is giving
good satisfaction. You cannot go
eut'and secure a lineman in a few
minutes; it took the commissioners
many days and a lot of driving
to secure Mr. Young, A new truck
had to be purchased, also a safe
for the protection of the records.
Mr. McNall expressed discour-
agement at the apathy of the sub-
scribers in not attending the an-
nual meeting,
Commissioner Archie Young, in
bis brief remarks, stated: "A lot's
of money bas been spent on the
lines this year, and they are in a
lot better shape than they have
been for some time."
The same commissioners were
again elected: George McNeil,
James Phelgn. Archie Young. The
chairman will be named at the
first meeting of the commission.
'In his closing remarks, Mr.
Phelan stated: "There are 700

We - have approximately 1,000
trainees in residence at the pres-
ent time enrolled in about 15 dif-
ferent courses. These 'include:
basic electronics, communications
technicians air and ground. radar •
technicians air and ground. tele,
graph technicians, telephone tech-
nicians,
echnicians, fighter control operators,
teletype operators, radio operators, - -
cryptographers—these are all for-

courses are establishedonnew it-

also operate a telecommunica-

electronic phase of the Armament
Officers courses, in addition to •
guided missile indoctrination cours-

University Reserve Cadet Training

the summer months.

the Station for approximately one
year. He does this training, I

schools. Most of these lads have
