The Huron Expositor, 1962-05-10, Page 9HURON FEDERATION NEWS Ontario egg producers have taken exception to a statement • that appeared in a Toronto daily paper last week, dealing with the current investigation of certain food products by the Federal Food and Drug Direc- torate. The story carried the opinionswof representatives of several leading cake mix manu- al facturers after the Food and Drug Directorate had announc- ed plans to implement regula- tions requiring these compan- ies to use only pastuerized egg products .in their mixes and frozen desserts. The director of quality control for one of these * companies is quoted by this daily as saying: "The problem goes right back to the egg pro- ducers. If they made sure all egg's sold were pasteurized there would be no salmonella". "This man is either misquoted or badly misinformed," said Tom Robson, of Leamington, president of the Ontario Egg Producers Association today. "Ontario egg producers market • . • • 4 • • s • • Arnold STINNISSEN Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Telephone: 852 R 12 R.R. 5 SEAFORTH 'blue coal' Champion Stove and Furnace Oil WILLIS DUNDAS Phone 573 or 71 W their eggs in shell form; and we know of no way that Shell. eggs can be pasteurized. The pasteurization process takes place after the eggs have been broken by the processor who turns this product into powder- ed or frozen -form. Thus the gentleman is obviously refer- ring to these firms who manu- facture such products for the baking and confectionery trades." This flurry of publicity has magnified the problem far be- yond its true significance, and it could have adverse effects upon the sale of eggs, said Mr. Robson. Down through the years considerable research and blood testing of breeding flocks in Canada has .led to almost complete extinction of the Sal- monella Pullorm, virtually the only way this bacteria could ,be transmitted from the produc- er's flock. "Just yesterday," Mr. Robson said, "Dr. C. A. Mor- rell, head of the Food and Drug Directorate iii Ottawa, is quoted as saying: "Salmonella almost never occurs in fresh eggs. The Food and Drug people have in- dicated that they intend to bring in regulations requiring all processors of eggs to pas- teurize the product." He went on: "We, as egg producers, ap- prove wholeheartedly with this proposal in the interests of pro- tecting the general public, but we resent being cast as the vil- lain of the piece when it is quite clear that any danger to consumers through the use of fresh eggs is not only quite re- mote, but almost non-existent." "In the course of defending their own position, it appears that some people have, perhaps, inadvertently, cast aspersions on the fine quality of Ontario eggs," said Mr. Robson. FURROW ,AND FALLOW By FAIRIBAIRN It looks as though the rocky road of love has.. „ditched the courtship caravan carrying the Ontario Farmers' Union execu- tive and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture top brass. While resolutions calling for an over- all farm organization in Ontario and Canada—have been pass- ed by many groups in both the union and the federation over many years, nothing much.ltap- pened. In the past year the Ol'U and the OFA have been sitting down together and talking, arid so1114: people were hopeful that steps toward amalgamation could be taken. 1957 MORRIS MINOR 1957 PONTIAC COACH 1956 PLYMOUTH SEDAN MILLER MOTORS PHONE 149 — SEAFORTH Combine your home-grown grains with NATIONAL CHICK DEVELOPING CONCENTRATE the fresh mix with the meat meal base!

When one side (the OFU) says: "The OFU has no time for any further fraternizing until the federation indicates a definite desire to change the structure of their organization", while the federation claims, "The OFU has misrepresented the facts re- garding the structure of the OFA", it sounds like more than a lovers' spat. Of course, the, cynics might say it sounds more like a couple of youngsters in the old, "You are so—I am pot" routine. Whichever way you look at it, both sides sound mad and this does not hold out hope for building one farm organization. The union claims that the ma- jority rule in the federation comes from commercial type organizations, although it is not clear to us who is getting the finger — co-operatives, market- ing boards, commodity groups or all of them. At another point the union deplores "empire building commodity groups" and at this point they won't find too much difference of opin- ion in many sections of the fed- eration. President Bill Tilden warned egg producers at their annual meeting recently against the dangers in individual groups building their structure at the expense of a united farm or- ganization. The OFU statement segs very blunt—we're not interest- ed in playing ball with the OFA until they change their ways. The OFA, on the other hand, leaves the door open by saying it "regrets that the OFU, ac- cording • to• press releases, is not interested in joining with the OFA in one general farm organization in Ontario" and later maintaining Sit has been quite sincere in attempting to work toward one organization. This has something of the aroma of international negotia- tions—as they are called. One side clamming the door with a bang—which doesn't seem to mean they won't ,open it again, by the way — and the other couching its feelings in more diplomatic terms that leave the door ajar. What both sides real- ly mean is—we'll agree, with you anytime on our terms. The OFU is basically a union =a dues -paying organization— and shows no desire to change. In fact, it has always maintain- ed only a national, direct mem- bership organization can truly represent Canadian farmers. However, the union has only been able to persuade about 3,000 Ontario farmers. to join and pay dues. Farmers in this province seem reluctant to ac- cept the union idea. The OFA claims a membership of over 100,000 'farmers through its county and township federa- tions, commodity groups (26),. co-operatives (5) and education- al organizations. While the federation organ- ization is not perfect=as most members realize—it does seem to have more support than the union. After a fairly heated discussion last week, OFA mem- bers resolved to continue to try to develop one over-all farm organization in Ontario. �t'han..

The quickest way,• for both individuals and business is to stop planning for the future — or not to have the ability to plan fot any. future. In essence, the principle of fire, automobile and casualty in- surance is that it is a plan for the future. It ensures progress by banding people together to share the expected losses of the few among the many. Because it allows people to "average out" their chances of a completely crushing loss into a relatively small fixed expense, insurance enables them to move ahead on a planned basis. The fact that Canada's fire, automobile and casualty insurance companies are paying out more than a million and a half dollars every day this year in claims indicates that prudent Canadians make safe plans for their future.
