FEBRUARY 4th, 1948 Take a tip frem the \u201ctakk- ten\u201d.Get on à \u201csound track.\u201d EIGHT PAGES Much Discussion on Fair at Annual Meeting Thursday Members Offer Suggestions For Improvement of Huntingdon Fair The annual meeting of the Hunt- ingdon Agricultural Society was held at the County Building, on Thursday afternoon, with only a fair attendance of members.The day was quite stormy and exceedingly cold and this may have accounted for the small attendance.The directors\u2019 meeting was held first and the minutes of previous meeting and the financial statement were read and passed.Mr.S.J.Currie appeared before the directors and asked for a definite arrangement regarding payment for the wiring done in the buildings and on the grounds last year.He explained that in past years the wir- Ing had been installed at a certain figure and later taken down again for a further certain sum.In 1947 he had suggested a plan whereby the wiring could be left in the building and finally become the property of the Fair Board.Since that time arrangements had been made with the Huntingdon Athletic Association, which rather jeopardized the previous arrangement.Therefore Mr.Currie wanted an assurance that the original arrangement would be adhered to or the wiring would have to be removed as in former years.The directors considered the matter and decided that a three- year payment would be adopted and that the wiring should be left for future use.An arrangement will be made with the Huntingdon Athletic Association and the owners of concessions whereby a charge will be made for the use of the fixtures and the power.This was satisfactory to Mr.Currie.The Directors meeting then adjourned.Following this the general annual meeting was held.President J.J.Murphy was in the chair and the minutes of the last annual meeting were read and also the financial statement for the year 1947.\u2018This showed that all payments had been met and there is a cash balance of $142.12.It also showed that the outstanding loan had been reduced from $1,100 in 1946 to $900.in 1947.\u2018Those present seemed pleased that this loan is being reduced, but felt that more help should be sought from the government in the way of grants.- Several bills were read for claims for lost poultry from the poultry barn during fair time.The total value of the claims was $16.It was felt that something should be done to put the cages and the buildings in better shape so that such losses would not occur in the future.It was remarked that in previous years a man had been paid to look after the building, but last year this had not been done.It was agreed to pay the losses under the circumstances, but this was in no way a precedent and such a course would not be adopted.Also that the pens would be put into better state of repair for another fair.The president asked if anyone had anything to bring before the meeting and quite a discussion was started.One party asked if the fair was advertised in any way than through the medium of The Gleaner.He was advised that it was not.It was felt that advertising should be done in other newspapers and over the radio, prior to the fair, in order to get more interest.The question was asked what had happened to the Stock Parade that was advertised to take place.The answer was that a shower of rain had prevented this taking place, Just as the animals were being lined up for the parade.The questioner stated that the parade should have been held nevertheless, it was advertised and yet it did not take place.People came to see these things and then they did not take place.Another question was: Where was the band, why was there no music of this kind.Such music les stated that the band could not be obtained as a number of the | members were employed in the mills and if they left their work to play at the fair they wanted to be assured their ful day's pay to cover the lost time.There was also a set charge made for the band as a whole and the Fair Board felt that the expense was too great.Several of those present said that in view of the help that had been given the band in the past few years, they should play for the fair at no cost whatever.It is supposed to be a town band, yet it does not play at functions like this after the people have contributed towards its upkeep.It was further remarked that if the local band cannot be obtained then some other band should be approached so that some music was available.The discussion then drifted\u2019 off into other fairs and the fact that attractions were not provided to any great extent and in this, Have- lock was cited.The Gleaner came in for a drubbing and it was said that Havelock Fair obtained a better write-up of its show \u2018each year to that obtained by Hunting- don.The only thing that Havelock had was a fine community spirit and its annual dinner, there were no attractions and no place to put the animals, yet more people went to this fair.It was maintained that if Huntingdon wanted to improve the attendance it must provide more in the way of entertainment and it must be ready to spend a little money to obtain such entertainment.The situation in Hunt- ingdon is much different to that of Havelock, which is more an annual gathering of old friends.It was mentioned that a pipe band was an attraction one year, but those present did not think that a pipe band yas much of an attraction for a alr.Mr.Charlie Kyle sald he thought the Society should purchase more land and have a new race track built.It was also mentioned that a light horse show at night would prove an attraction.After some discussion on this, it was decided to have a committee work on the matter.Mr.Bert Rankin sald this was the first annual meeting he had attended, but he thought that something should be done to improve the falr and that it should be a whole lot better than it is.There are not enough attractions and more than livestock is needed to make a fair attractive in these days.The mention of a midway was made and it was pointed out that Ormstown had not had a satisfactory fair as regards the midway and that it had not the effect of bringing more people despite the money that had been expended in getting the attractions.In any event the midway at Huntingdon Fair will be looked after by the Huntingdon Athletic Association this year as an arrangement had been made with them for this purpose.The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted in the same board being elected with the addition of Mr.Wallace Rennie.Apparently there was some dissatisfaction in the way some of the livestock had been entered in the various classes and it was decided that the pedigree numbers or photographs should be checked before the animals are allowed to enter the judging ring.It was mentioned that the prize list always contained an entry form, but the last few years this had been omitted and it might be well if these entry forms were again included.The Fair Dates for 1948 will be September 9th and 10th.A delegation is to interview Mr.J.G.Rennie, M.L.A,, with the purpose of obtaining some additional help in the way of grants for the fair and to try and improve the fair as much tended to help the proceedings?It as possible.Quebec Holsteins in All- Canadian Contest W, A.S.Ayerst\u2019s Bu Honourable Mention in Contest Once again animals either bred at

Mrs.M.M.MeNaughton's 25th anniversary was held at the Masonio Temple in Huntingdon.Although it was a bitter night a fairly large crowd turned out to extend their best wishes.About eleven-thirty Mr.Chas.Boyce called the.gathering to order by saying, \u201cthis is a special occasion,\u201d and asked Mr.and Mrs.Mc- Naughton to come forward.He went to the rear of the hall and accompariied the bride and groom of 25 years up to the \u201cmike.\u201d With a few well chosen words presented them with a slightly bulged envelope.At this point he asked the groom to give the bride the traditional kiss.Mr.McNaughton replied that although these gatherings were customary he thought theirs would pass by unnoticed.\u201cHowever,\u201d he said, \u201cthis must have taken a great deal of work on the part of John Donnelly and Andrew Higgins.\u201d He was very grateful and hoped everyone would have an enjoyable evening.In Mr.McNaughton's speech he said he had made up his mind when very young, not to have anything to do with the fairer sex, as when he attended the old stone school for punishment of misbehav four (?) he was forced to sit on the large benth between fully grown girls, who occasionally would lean over and give him a \u201cpeck\u201d on the cheek\u2014this was too much for a shy boy but after batching it for a number of years he what a life this is! Shortly after he met a sweet young school teacher and with much persuasion she consented to marry him.They were married quietly and slipped away on their honeymoon.On their return, to their surprise, the house was full of people gathered there to welcome them.He wondered if anyone present had been there that night.His one regret was that it was too cold for more of his older friends to be present, but he was very pleased to see so many young folk out.With these words and many others Mr.McNaughton kept the crowd in laughter for some time.After Mrs.McNaughton had thanked everyone, Mr.Boyce asked them to remain standing while their friends in turn congratulated the happy couple.Mr.Boyce started by kissing the bride and Mrs.Boyce retaliated by kissing the groom.Mr.Roy McWhinnie made delicious

Mr.and Mrs.McNaughton many more years of bappy married life.IN.W.Pringle Retires From Railroad Service The following account of the retirement of N.W.Pringle was sent to the Gleaner and taken from a fraternal magazine known as \u201cContacts\u201d, and should prove of interest to a great many readers of the Gleaner.N.W.(\u201cNorman\u201d) Pringle, PTM, LV, since 1925, retires with the close of

was held on Monday evening at the County Building, with all members present.The minutes of the previous meeting were read and also the bills as passed by the Finance Committee at that meeting.Mr.Leo Leahy complained about the valuation on his property.He cxplained that two years ago it was revalued and then it was reduced, but the next year it was again at the high figure.During the period he sold half the lot and now the town is collecting taxes from him and from the new owner, thus two lots of taxes are being paid on the same lot.The council promised to look into the matter and make whatever adjustment is necessary.A Hospital card was received for Real Robidoux and after some discussion it was decided to bring in a report at the next meeting.A letter was read from the Health Dept.stating that the complain re rubbish along the river bank had been investigated.The store owners and others here have expressed their willingness to co-operate in this matter.Mr.Menard complained to the officer that the garbage collector refused to take all the rubbish and wanted to know if something could be done about it.The eouncil decided to speak to Mr.Welburn and this was left to Ald.Collum, A milk report was presented to the council which stated that the samples were too old, therefore no bacterial count could be given.A cheque was reported received from War Assets Corporation to cover water rates for a certain pe- rlod.Alderman McWhinnie told the council that the employees at the Filter Plant had asked for an increase in their salaries due to the rising price of the cost of living and in view of the fact that other town employees had been given a ralse.Some discussion ensued as to the amount requested and the Mayor thought that a lesser amount might suffice, but left it to the council to decide.It was finally decided that Financial Statement Passed At Town Council Meeting Salary Increases Granted Town Employees\u2014 Increased Costs May Mean Higher Taxes a5 and from February 1st the wages would be as follows: H.Sandys, $102 per month; R.Donnelly, $120; G.Munro, $175.00 and an increase of $20.00 for E.C.Martin.With regard to sewer and

also decided to order 300 bicycle licenses this year as there were not enough last year.\u2018The building by-law has still not been received from the town lawyers and the council was just a little impatient at the delay.It was decided to try and hurry this along for the next meeting.It was reported that a building had been moved in town and no permit issued for this.The danger of this procedure was pointed out and it was decided that no building may be moved without a permit is obtained to do so.The Police Chief is to be advised to check up on such matters.Two applications for relief were received by Alderman Saumier and in one case it was decided to allow $3.00 per week in groceries or food.In the other case it was decided to investigate further, but it was reported that the woman in the case had been taken to Montreal and would most lkely have to go to hospital there soon.The Financial Statement was read and passed and it was ordered printed in the Gleaner and individual copies printed and mailed to the ratepayers.Mayor Picard thanked Alderman Tinker for the good work he had done on the finances and sald that the council would have to study ways to make up the increased costs of the present year and it may mean higher taxes, but it could not be helped.Copy of Financial Statement will be found on another page.Officers 1948 Elected The Annual Meeting of Orms- town Branch of the Red Cross Society was held Jan.28th at 7.30 .m.in the Ormstown High School.The president, Mr.Cork- ran, was in the chair.Owing to the fact that it was a stormy night, Mr.Corkran introduced the guest speakers before commencing the business meeting to enable them to get an early start back to Montreal.The guests being Mrs.Packard, chairman of Work Committee at Headquarters at Montreal, and co-chair- man, Miss Rensing.Mrs.Packard told the meeting the quota of work for Quebec for 1947-48 was as follows: Knitted articles 8,066, layettes 16,800, other sewing 5,700 articles.The same quota would be for 1948-49.Mrs.Packard then told the meeting how work was distributed to needy countries.Dr.Reut- ley, who is in charge of Red Cross Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, sent

mostly layettes and children\u2019s clothing up to 10 years of age.Some women's clothing was also required.A sum of money was given to each province to purchase ready-made clothing, such as overcoats, dressing gowns shoes, etc.This lessens amount of difficult sewing.At the last annual meeting in Montreal, Mrs.Crofton, V.AD., from England, stated that Red Cross supplies were badly needed.Not only bombed out areas but the whole country.The people have to give coupons for Red Cross clothing but no money.The reason for this is that supplies would be used too freely.No coupons were needed In hos- itals or children\u2019s homes.Mrs.ackard stated here that standard of work done must be high.The need for quilts was stressed and that Canadian quilts were highly praised and appreclated but that many more were needed.There is a quantity of material in Canada and the Red Cross felt it is the duty of Canadians to sew for n countries where materials and facll- vies are so scarce, thus makin king t, very necessary organ Cross in communities.Best season for work is now and sew- knitting and making of quilts was .A request for scraps of wool was made.This wool is sent to Junior Red Cross who in

was reported to the Gleaner this week by Mrs.George Willlams, of Rockburn, Que.The lady reported reading in the Montreal Star a year ago, a Chinese legend to the effect that an egg would stand on it's rounded end alone, on February 3rd of each year at exactly 1045 am.So on Tuesday, which was February 3rd, Mrs.Willlams and her daughter Iris decided to test this out and see if it would happen.Sure enough, after much trying, the egg was made to stand alone at exactly 10456 am.Mrs.Williams called the Gleaner and informed us that the feat had been accomplished and was quite excited about it.Apparently and according to Mrs.Willlams, this can only be done on the date and time mentioned.What causes this we do not know and we shall have to wait until next year before we can test the feat for ourselves.NEW SERBIAN PASTOR REGINA, (CP)\u2014Father Nikanoi Palyich, who served as padre to Chetnik forces in Yugoslavia during the Second World War, has become pastor of the Serbian Eastern

schools will visit Montreal over the week-end of February 27 and 28, carrying the point of view of this district to a conference of delegates of the Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers.Mrs.Margaret Lindsay, of Ormstown, and Miss Getty, of Valleyfield, will attend this concentrated session at the Queens Hotel.A medley of educational matters will come before the conference.The Canadian Teachers\u2019 Federation and its relationship with UNESCO will be discussed by David Munroe, of Ormstown.Delegates will then turn their attention to the provincial organization, and follow this with a consideration of the local associations, their functions and programmes.iday evening dinner and Saturday luncheon at the Queens Hotel will highlight the conference.At the former, Dr.G.G.D.Kil- patrick, Principal of the United Theological College, will tell the teachers what others think of the profession.At the Saturday meal Dr.Robert MacLeod, of McGill, will discuss teaching from the point of view of a psychologist.Problems confronting local parents and teachers, and their relation to world-wide educational trends will, PAPT officials expect, receive some clarification at this mid-season get-together.Cold Spell Worst So Far This Winter Groundhog Heralds Early Spring Monday The past week the weather has heen the coldest that has been experienced so far this winter.Starting on Wednesday, high winds blew snow tHat blocked the roads and were accompanied by sub-zero temperatures.On Thursday morning the temperature was down to 17 below and on Friday morning it was 12 below.The temperature has ranged below zero since that time for the most part.The wind kept up until Saturday, when it subsided somewhat and there has been very little since.Monday was groundhog day and it was gloomy, so it is considered that winter is on the wane.Whether this weather profit legend has any influence on the weather, we do not rightly know, but we wen't feel bad if winter does come to an end sooner than expected.In these days of fuel shortages and the high cost of living, we won't mind saving a little on the coal bill.Those using ofl will welcome the opportunity to save a little for next year.As Easter is very early this year, it is just probable that spring will be early too, so perhaps there is something to this groundhog idea after all.We can only wait and hope for the best.There wag very little disruption due to the snow storm, roads were opened up quickly and while some of the schools were closed for about a day and some of the children were kept at home on account of the cold weather, nothing further happened.Several meetings and other events were sparsely attended on account of the cold weather, but none, that we know of, were postponed.Tuesday night the temperature took another drop below zero and Wednesday morning broke bright, cold and clear.DEER ATTACK COYOTE SUMMERLAND, BC, (CP)\u2014Ta- bles were turned here

BITING FORT ERIE, Ont., (OP)\u2014Anglers fishing through the ice in Lake Erle near here have reported heavy pounds of blue pivikerel apiece.BROCKVILLE, Ontario,\u2014The world's most critical problem today, the problem that is largely responsible for the failure to establish peace on earth, the problem that is at the base of much of the unrest widespread in so many countries, is the need for food, and that problem is right on the doorstep of every Canadian farm home, and likewise on the doorstep of the Federation of Agriculture.Canadian farmers want to produce abundantly as their part in solving this problem, but they must have assurance of some measure of economic stability in doing so.Output and price are the two prime considerations.This was the keynote of the annual address of H.H.Hannam, president and managing-director of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, delivered at the opening seasion of the 12th annual convention of the Federation at Brockville, Ontarlo.Mr.Hannam, in his address, dealt extensively with the domestic and international situation in its effect on Oasanadian agriculture, and with the position and prospects of the Canadian farmer in the post-war world, both with respect to their domestic and their world markets.\u201cThe most acute problem to-day is the world shortage of food,\u201d sald Mr.Hannam.\u201cFood supply is a consideration that dominates the minds of people and of governments in all lands.The unprecedented demand for food is in turn basically the cause of the most seri- cus of all current problems on this continent, namely, how to forestall the rising tide of inflation.\u201d The Marshall plan, sald Mr.Han- nam is a unique example of bold statesmanship, a realistic way of trying to cure political unrest; a plan which holds out some hope of temporarily solving the market and dollar difficulties which looked ominous enough to Canadian agriculture n few months ago.However, he sald, this plan, if not handled wisely, could intensify inflation perils.\u201cCanadian farmers,\u201d declared Mr.Hannam \u201cwant to produce abundantly.That is an instinct, a tradit- fon, If distribution is efficient and equitable, maximum output is in the best economic interests of farmers.Abundant production, they realize, is needed desperately from a humanitarian standpoint; it is also the best means of combatting disorder and building for peace, and an excellent means of fighting inflation.Merely Common Sense Farm people are not academic economists, but they know and fcel these things and call it merely common sense.This explains in part why our farmers were 50 upsct and discouraged when the government removed cellings and subaldies on coarse grain in October without compensatory action.Frustration in the face of the need for food, got them down.\u201d Mr.Hannam said the announcement of the new British food contracts was welcome news for the furmers and restored a large measure of confidence, also giving them hope for the retention of a stabilization program.Canadian for- mers at the moment were planning for full-scale production in 1948 and hoping for the best.Uncertainty Ahead \u201cBut there is uncertainty ahead,\u201d he declared, \u201cbecause of rising prices, rising costs of production, the danger of more and more inflation riding for a fall, and the prospects of a policy to control food prices without control of other prices or of wages.Consumers should ponder the fact that when the general price level is high, low food prices are possible only by discriminating unfairly against food producers, or by having government subsidies.The latter is at present contrary to declared government policy and In many respects is not a desirable policy.Discriminatory Policy \u201cThe government has already imposed ceilings on some food prices, but do they intend to place ceilings on more food products while they leave the prices of other goods and services, many of which enter into farm costs, uncontrolled?Any government which in a free democracy permits itself to be pressured Need For Food - Output, Price, Keynote C.F.A.President H.H.Hannam Dealt With Domestic And International Aspects Annual Meet group of farmers than to support and promote such a policy, especially in the face of propaganda by private grain trade interests that has been shamefully unfair and unethical.Canada Has been Good to Consumers \u201cSince the beginning of the war\u201d sald Mr.Hannam, \u201cCanada has been good to her consumers.There was enough food at moderate prices.It would be unjust and suicidal in the end from the standpoint of our Canadian economy, to strive for a low-priced food policy at the expense of Canadian agriculture, Mr.Hannam referred to the plan for a world food program, and the part the Canadian Federation of Agriculture had played in the deliberations of FAO the United Nations organization designated to work out such a program.He said the hopes of producers for more sat- iafactory and stable returns and the hopes of consumers for abundant and regular food supply, can best.be achieved by giving positive and constructive support to plans for such a world food program.Recognition of Farmer Organisation During his address, Mr.Hannam acknowledged the fine recognition given the federation, as the national voice of organized agriculture, in public affairs.The Federation has heen well represented on the national agricultural advisory committees, in the national agricultural conference, on various government advisory committees, as well as on delegations to international conferences.He pald tribute to the courtesy and co-operation extended to the Federation In its day-to-day contacts with federal and provin- clal ministers, and senior officers of government departments.He commented on the grave shortage of trained veterinarians needed in government service to carry out programs for the protection of livestock and dalry herds vital in protecting the health of the people.He commented also on the urgent need for a more aggressive national policy of soil conservation.Respecting criticism of the national federation from certain groups of farmers, Mr.Hannam sald: \u201cThe Federation is in the hands of its members.It ls bullt and financed and directed by them, with officers elected democratic~ ally and policies shaped according to their views.The Federation has no ties and no entanglements, or alliances or gentlemen's agreements with any group or party or government.It stands Independent, and ready to co-operate with all who shane its Ideals and believe In its program.It is likewise ready to do battle If need be with those who oppose its fundamentally democratic procedure, its co-operative methods, and its march toward a Detter order of service for mane nd.\" Huntingdon Badminton Club Wins Tourney At Malone The Malone Badminton Club bowed 10 matches to five to the Huntingdon representation in the second tourney of the season between the two outfits.on Friday evening, on the Malone armory courts.Huntingdon also won the first event staged early in the season at Huntingdon.\u2019 The Malone group had the edge in the women\u2019s event, they having won three matches to Huntingdon's one in the doubles.Huntingdon took two matches to Malone's one in the men's doubles, seven to Malone's one in the mixed doubles.There was play all evening with non-scheduled competition taking place after the scheduled tournament matches were finished.Refreshments

advocates of high prices and never have been.Their policy is one of farm prices in a proper balance with those of other major groups in the nation, and preferably on a moderate level.This has been the policy of the C.F.A.farmers\u2019 organization.They want prices that are fair alike to producers and consumers.\u201cTheir first consideration is to find and support the best possible method of stabilizing prices of staple food products entering into world trade, within a range which would not spell economic ruin for producers in exporting nations nor be too high for consumers in the importing nations.The method coming nearest to these essentials they felt 18 the international commodity agreement of which the a few deer ganged up on a coyote.: catches.Some anglers got 30 and 60

Huntingdon Fair Board, despite all the dissatisfaction with the number of attractions at the Fair year by year.Mutterings around are to the effect that something should be done to improve the fair, yet very few seem to take enough interest in seeing that the something is done.It is the belie of many that if the right type of attractions were obtained for this fair and if the buildings and grounds were put into better shape, that the fair would be a big success each r and even develop into a three-day fair.here is enough distance between Hun- tingdon Fair and Ormstown Exhibition that one should not affect the other.Not only that, Huntingdon has a greater chance to develop in the fall lines of farming and garden and education for a large number of the youth of town.In connection with this development, the association has decided to bring to Hunting- don an outstanding violinist, in the person of Miss Leona Flood.The idea behind this is to provide a means of musical appreciation for the youth of Huntingdon and the surrounding communities as well as to provide entertainment for everyone else.A special matinee is being held at which it is expected there will be groups of school children from the various schools in the Chateauguay Valley.The evening performance will be open to the general public and tickets for this are now on sale.There is considerable cost in bringing Miss Flood to Huntingdon, as she is an outstanding artist and usually only plays the larger centres.She Is sponsored by the Phil Rubin- off Management, and Phil is a brother of the

to be one of the hall-marks of a progressive civilization, because it is an indication of rising standard of living.Usually when we speak of the increased cost of that item in the family budget.Food, of course, is an important item, and because it is the one that immediately affects the pocket of the housewife, any rise in cost is at once noticed.The cost of other things can go up and little is said.There is no public protest, for instance, about the increased prices of clothing, furniture, household equipment, luxuries and amuse- By LEWIS MILLIGAN although the manufacturer is the most abused suspect in the crime of high prices, his profit is one element of cost which, so far from increasing, has actually declined.In 1939 the food manufacturer averaged 4.6 cents profit on the sales taller averages about 1.5 cents.Thus the profits of the manufacturer and the retailer together total only five cents on the sales dollar.Suppose these profits were removed, how much difference would that make in the price of a can of beans?The can costs 16 cents.The housewife would save four-fifths of a cent!\u201d Mr.Willis pointed out that the Government was indirectly responsible for a large part of the high garine instead of shortening.But our Federal government is still subsidizing the import of fats and oils.If such subsidies were discontinued now, the price of shortening would probably rise to 45 cents a pound.It costs more, we are told, to make margarine than to make shortening.If margarine was made today more, \u201cIndustry in Canada has asked for and has received a

still, news came that he had died at the hands of through the news and pictures of him.Yet all people felt they had known him personally.He was made fun of for his hunger strikes and he was looked upon as a man who made many protests to Great Britain as he felt that India should be allowed to rule its own destinies.This was finally won for India, but in a theatre or at a hockey match can go up a hundred per cent or more and no Jone seems to complain, but if the price of milk, butter, eggs, meat or vegetables goes up a few cents there is a general out- these questions in a recent speech, analyzed the situation as follows: \u201cFood starts on the farm, but before it reaches the housewife it passes through many hands and processes.First the manufacturer must buy from the farmers.According to Government figures he had state and local governments\u2014chief- ly the federal government\u2014which take almost 28 per cent of the total income of the people.From the time the food leaves the farm everybody who handles it\u2014farmer, accumulated taxes are included in the final price.\u201d The above facts and factors are usually overlooked in public discussions of the high cost of food.They go to explain what is called the \u201cprice-spread\u201d between what the farmer receives for his product and number of times his contention that the ban on oleomargarine denies citizens freedom of choice which they should have the right to enjoy.My answer to this is this: If I could take you out into the few conveniences they have on the average, you would probably not be carried away by Senator Euler's attractive slogan.One of the reasons why these tens of thousands of farm families have to do without many of these conveniences and comforts is because of high protection which industry enjoys, and good one in the town and which the le unfortunately it did not turn out just as |to pay $2.65 in 1947 for farm prod- what the consumer pays In the |because the

continue to support if co-operation is given.The suggestions made that something should be done to improve Huntingdon Fair, show that the way it is conducted is not entirely satisfactory to the people and the members.In view of this it seems that the Fair Board should really get together and plan something that will make Huntingdon Fair worthwhile for all.As was stated by a farmer at the meeting, the time of an agricultural show with just livestock is past, there must be other attractions.The suggestions that more land should be purchased and a new race track built, might help the situation and it is felt that if such plans were considered and the cost accounted, that the government could be persuaded to help out.At the very least, the buildings should be kept in repair and painted to give the fair grounds a good appearance.When one looks at these every year and the dilapidated appearance of them, it is not conducive to attendance.The old bandstand is an eyesore and would be just as well out of the way as leaving it where it is.The industrial building with its board walls that have never seen paint since it was built do not invite the public.The cattle sheds could do with much renovation and we feel more farmers could be encouraged to show if the conveniences were in better order.If a concerted effort were made to see that these things are done, we feel sure the people of Huntingdon and surrounding districts would rally round and support the fair in a big way.As it stands now, very few want to be bothered and in a very atiort time it will pass into the realms of the past.Perhaps the Athletic .Association wii have a stimulating effect this year, and certainly the Fair Board would be wise to see that what is advertised is carried through.{ The Huntingdon Youth Center IC has taken time to build up Huntingdon\u2019s Youth Center, but that time is now paying dividends in the interest that is gradually being accumulated, By far the largest amount strike was in protest against the strife that came about as a result of self-government being granted to India.He had succeeded by his method in obtaining a settlement by an agreement to seek peaceable means of settling the dispute which was causing the strife, and he was still in a weakened condition as a result of his fast.It was while he was walking to his daily place of prayer that he was struck down by the as- sissin\u2019s bullets.It was in full view of thousands of people who had gathered to have prayer with the little man, and immediately rioting broke out with renewed force and the assassin was rescued by the police only after much difficulty.Fortunately the assassin is a Hindu and not a Moslem, or the spark of rioting might have been set off into a conflagration, even yet it is possible that great trouble may oceur in this unsettled country.Although we in the west may not understand Gandhi's methods and we may not have agreed with his ideas at all times, we cannot hide the fact that he wielded a great Influence over the people of India and with this gone the most moderating force in India has been removed.As much as Gandhi was a nuisance and caused much unrest through his continual pleas for self-government, no one of the peoples of the western hemisphere desired the little man\u2019s death.Therefore there is as much Sorrow in the western world over Gandhi's death as there is among his own people.He was a crusader on behalf of a large section, at least, of the people of India.Today he is a martyr.He has faced death on many occasions by his own doing and as many times he has recovered to carry on what he religiously believed was his good work.He was unable to overcome the fate that three bullets fired into his recently weakened body would bring.So today, the world mourns Gandhi as though he were a king, or a ruler, and certainly as a martyr to a cause.The Fuel Oil Situation TEE large number of users 6f fuel oil Lave need for concern over the supply

Aubrey\u2019's Corners Farm Forum, Dundee, Quebec, January 26, 1948.The Editor, Huntingdon Gleaner, Huntingdon, Que.Dear Sir: In view of the many arguments in favour of lifting the ban on the manufacture of oleomargarine in Canada, we should like to present to the reading public a few of the highlights of a speech on this subject delivered by Mr.H.H.Han- nam, President of the Canadian Federation of Agricuclture.This speech was presented to a Public Forum in the Ritz-Carleton Hotel, Montreal, on November 25, 1947.Unfortunately it received little or no publicity from the Montreal newspapers.We quote a few of the arguments set forth by Mr.Han- nam, \u201cThe prohibition of oleomargarine in Canada is not as extreme a measure of protection as some would have you believe.The fats and oils used in the manufacture of oleomargarine are brought freely into Canada.They are made into and sold as cooking fats.It is simply that these fats and oils are not permitted to be made into 8 spread and sold as a substitute for butter.\u201cDairy farmers and many fair- minded people in responsible positions, genuinely fear that the introduction of margarine into our market would depress the butter industry.To what extent that would happen, no one can say positively.But when you depress the butter industry, which is the basic commodity in our dairy industry, you almost certainly depress the whole industry for the cheese producer, the milk producer who supplies city milk and the producer of milk for concentrated products \u2014 500,000 of them across Canada.\u201cIn such a situation, prices of dairy products could be ruined \u2014 depressed by 25, 33 or even 50 per item\u2014hidden away, it is true, but there\u2014Government subsidies.In 1946 these amounted, in the United States, to $1,694,000,000 of the food bill.\u201cBut,\u201d added Mr.Willis, \u201cit showed up in your tax bill instead of your grocery bill.Thus we can see that no one segment of our economy is alone responsible for the high prices.\u201d cent.That serious decrease in purchasing power by more than half the farm families in Canada would be felt in business and industry in every city.Unquestionably it leads the way to dwindling sales, stagnation in business and unemployment.Conversely, Canadians know that strong and stable farm purchasing power is the best assurance for a thriving economy.\u201cThis is the reasoning behind the judgment of thoughtful people, who believe that it may be best for Canadian people generally to have a sound and healthy dairy industry © Or SE Cob ae 5 am Fr DAE à Alea AN Car act © of choice have these people to get the things they want and need \u2014 most of them the things that you people in the city have and enjoy?\u201d We of this Farm Forum endorse these statements one hundred per cent and we hope that the consumer will realize that the dairy farmer is asking no more and much less than the labour unions and large industries.Yours

Aubrey-Riverfield Athelstan Glenelm RECIPES CUSTARD SMOOTH AS VELVET Custard in some form is included in the cook books of every land.Eggs and milk are two staple foods 80 they naturally have been used together since the earliest days of cooked foods.Custards are divided into two classes, soft, or \u201cboiled\u201d custard and baked custard.Boiled custard is badly named as it must never be allowed to boil.Curdling is caused by Sookine at too high a tempera- or for too long.This type of custard is best when cooked over hot but not boiling water and it must be stirred constantly.As soon as a smooth coating covers a silver spoon the custard is cooked and should be removed from the fire and poured into a cold bowl or the pan in which it has cooked, set into a container of cold water.If the custard does curdle it should be beaten quickly with a dover egg beater.One half tablespoon of corn starch may replace one of the eggs, thus alding in preventing curdling as well as eggs.Soft custard is often known as Custard Sauce since it is frequently used as a sauce with cold des- Firm or baked custard is much like soft custard and the tendency tu over cook it or cook too quickly must be guarded againgt.Baking at too high temperature results in a honey-combed mixture on top with considerable water in the bottom.The test for baked custard is the reverse of that for soft custard.A silver or stainless steel knife inserted in the centre of the custard should come out clean if the custard is cooked.If not cooked particles of egg mixture will cling to the e.Many so called bread and cereal puddings are actually custard puddings since the main ingredients are milk and eggs.The {following recipes for custards come from the Consumer Section, Dominion Department of Agriculture,

and the stake is the future ot India and Pakistan alike.\u201d Even as the flames mounted on the banks of the holy Jumna, repercussions of the tragic death were felt at opposite ends of the earth.At Lake Success, New York, United Nations\u2019 efforts to settle the India-Pakistan dispute over Kashmir State were suspended.An Indian spokesman said his delegation was making no move pending instructions from New Delhi.\u201cIf your whole country should go up in flames,\u201d he said, \u201cthere would be little use in arguing a case before the Security Council.\u201d In Bombay and Poona grief-mad- dened crowds, shouting \u201cburn them out,\u201d exploded in sudden scenes of violence as minute-by-minute radio descriptions of the Mahatma\u2019s funeral boomed from loudspeakers set up in the streets, The crowds attacked the Hindu Mahasabha\u2014extremist Hindu political organization advocating com- munalism\u2014to which Gandhi\u2019s alleged assassin at one time belonged.Bombay police armed with sten guns patrolled the tense streets as industrial and business life came to a complete standstill.The United Nations has been informed that no Jewish or Arab | militias can be organized in Palestine while Britain retains control This statement came in a blunt declaration of British policy on partition of the Holy Land, made late Friday by Sir Alexander Cadogan before the U.N, Palestine commission.Other points made by Sir Alexander in response to a series of questions put to him by the commission were: 1.Britain would not look with favor on a commission decision to arrive in Palestine more than two weeks before termination of the British mandate.This is now scheduled for May 15.2.Britain would not accept responsibility for safety of the commission if it arrived earlier.3.Britain could not comply with the general assembly's recommendation that the administration of Palestine be turned over to the commission piecemeal.The entire administration would be transferred on the day the mandate Is ended, Sir Alexander said.This meant the U.N.would not be allowed to organize any military force in Palestine until the day the mandate terminated, but would find itself responsible on that same day for defence of the Holy Land.Observers commented that this raised obstacles which would make it difficult, if not Impossible, for the commission to carry out the partition plan.v « Friday night in Dayton, Ohio, a man who gave wings to the world\u2014 Orville Wright, co-inventor with his brother Wilbur of the alrplane\u2014 passed away inshis sleep under an oxygen tent.At the age of 76, Wright succumbed to a lung and heart disease, 44 years after he and his brother test-flew the first flimsy plane.\u201cOld at 40,50, 607\" \u2014 Man, You're Cr vou age! Thana are pope at dal on which Foams sod pow à Women at Work! The Canadian Association of Women Voters have sponsored meetings at Y.M.C.A.Montreal on the question of Cost of Milk.On January 27th Mr.William Aird of Dominion Dairies (Elmhurst) presented the case of Montreal Milk Dealers.He stated that it required the sale of ten quarts of milk to produce a profit of one cent.That of the consumer's milk price per quart the :Producer receives 62!4%; Labor 23.- 6%; operation costs 103%; depreciation 15% with profit 6-10th of 1% per quart bottle.Maintenance of volume distribution was a necessity and as increases in price lowered volume, dealers \u2018therefore opposed price increases.\u201cWe are as worried as you are about high prices.Ours is a mass market depending on a high volume of consumption, so that the more we sell, the better it is for us and the farmer,\u201d declared Mr.Aird.A lively discussion was entered into by the women who showed familiarity with Report of the Ontario Royal Commission on Milk and fluency in debate.In fact Mr.Aird was subjected to a rigid cross- examination on many points.Mrs, Geo.Goodwin, who took part in the Radio Citizens\u2019 Forum the previous week, asked Mr.Aird why if the dealers were satisfied with their price they accepted more spread in January.\u201cWe were prepared to carry on so long as the price didn\u2019t go up because our volume would remain.When the price was raised our sales did go down\u201d, he replied.Miss Madeline Sheridan brought up the question of lack of uniform accounting methods to obtain figures on distributors\u2019 costs as revealed in the Ontario Report.Mr.Aird agreed that there was difficulty in this regard but he would be glad to sit down and help discover a better method if one can be found.The set-up of the Quebec Dairy Commission was attacked by a woman speaker.She claimed that the commission was established in 1934, at a time of surplus and low prices, to help producers.Now that the Consumer is the one being squeezed this legislation should be revised.\u201cA Government body that sets prices should be composed of successful industrialists, good citizens and leaders.\u201d Mr.Aird refused to offer criticism of the Dairy Board, but claimed the Distributors have been the \u201cbuffer between the Consumer and Producer at all times to maintain as low a price as we possibly can to the consumer.\u201d Asked if the Quebec Dairy Commission had authority to inquire into the accounting systems Mr.Aird replied: \u201cI am not going to criticize the Q.D.C.or any Provincial Board but I think they are definitely trying to do a good job.I think they need more information than they have got and are trying to get it.In the form of a question, a suggestion was made that all price setting at the consumer level be withdrawn and distributors should cease to be protected.Mr.Aird said this method would not work.as it was the one in operation before the appointment of a Control Board.A price was agreed upon between producers and distributors; some dealers would not pay it and price cutting to producers resulted.\u201cI do not believe in a fixed price at any place.I will take my chance in an open market and open selling price\u201d, declared Mr.Aird.Mr.John Dickson, President of Montreal Milk Producers\u2019 Association, presented the Producers\u2019 side of the question at a meeting of the Association of Women Voters on February 2nd.o\u2014O\u2014o FOR OLEOMARGARINE: After making a detailed study of this matter, the Canadian Association of Women Voters (Mrs.Pierre Cas- grain Pres.) have addressed a memorandum to the Federal Government in favor of the manufacture of this product.AGAINST: Montreal Provision Trades Association of the Montreal Board of Trade have issued a four page report on Oleo.giving the main features of the argument \u201cfor and against\u201d.They state: \u201cOur members believe that present situation is caused by a world wide shortage of foods and especially grains.and one or two good world harvests would bring relief.but in the present temporary emergency to make a revolutionary change in the economy of the Dairy Industry would have disastrous effects both in the Dairy Industry end the general economy of the country .There are some 500,000 Dairy Parmers in Canada engaged in an industry contributing over 400 millions of dollars to the national income and to depress the standard of living of this large portion of population, together with their families, could not fail to have a far reaching effect on their ability to purchase manufactured goods.\u201d Chairman of Lever Bros.in London estimated world shortage of oils and fats at 4 million tons annually to continue for some years.' \u201cIt would appear that the efforts to legalize the manufacture and sale of Margarine in Canada resolve into trying to have a product for which the raw materials are not available now and when the day comes that these raw materials are available other products including butter will also be in full supply at a relative price.All these matters were given close consideration by our members and they have unanimously placed themselves on record as being opposed to the removal of the ban on the manufacture and sale in Canada of margarine at this time.Montreal Milk Producers Cooperative Association Annual Meeting takes place on the 9th floor of Mount

on milk, Mr.Justice Wells urgently recommends cooperative handling by the producers.He mentions the Montreal Milk Producers Association and two others that look after their own surplus and adds that the average returns from surplus milk in these Associations \u2018have been very materially increased\u201d.He goes on to say \u201cif producers as a class do not so further extend their organization,
