_ THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE Agriculture Minister Gardiner told the House of Commons this week that the argument was being put forward that an increase in the set price of butter should begin about September or October and continue throughout the winter. He said the butter price had been about 34 or 35 cents in May and would probably continue at that level in June. "I think there is mutual agreeâ€" ment by all those who are familiar with dairy production in Canada that if we desire to increase butter production over that of last year the present price would not bring that increase," Mr. Gardiner said. He added that Canada had been in the habit of thinking that about fiveâ€"sixths of the butter required must be produced in the summer months. The result was that there was considerable _ storage _ from the months of May and June carried over into the winter months to keep up supplies. He recalled that the ceiling price of cheese had been set last year at 25 cents a pound for the winter months of 1941â€"42 and cheese proâ€" duction increased by leaps and bounds during the winter, although it was thought more difficult to proâ€" duce winter cheese than winter butter. + "It goes without saying that the cheese will probably not be quite as good as cheese produced in the summer months, off the grass," Mr. Gardiner said. "Nevertheless it is a very acceptable food product." Only Way To Aid Increase In Production Sturm Asserts Shand Dam "Not Worth 15 Cents" Deputyâ€"Reeve Herman Sturm at this week‘s meeting of town counâ€" cil urged Mayor W. D. "Pete" Brill to "find out from the Grand River Conservation Board whether this big scheme, the Shand Dam, is going to function or not". Agriculture Minister Thinks Butter Ceiling Likely 35 Cents Vol. 85, No. 23 The deputyâ€"reeve hurled bitter criticism at the project asserting: "We‘ve had two floods, two of the worst floods yet. The dam has been completed and there‘s still no control of the water". ‘"Waterloo has put thousands of dollars into this $2,000,000 project," he continued. "I think it‘s pretty near time that council find out whether it‘s going to work or not." Deputyâ€"Reeve Sturm also deâ€" plored the fact that gates of the dam had not been opened to perâ€" mit recovery of the Kâ€"W Flying Club aeroplane, which sank in Shand Lake recently. . "What‘s the use of conserving the water when they don‘t use it anyway," he exclaimed.

She is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Weber, who lived for many years in the village, both were over ninety at the time of their death.

It was a scheme of engineers and contractors, pulting it across on the public and making them pay for it," Sturm charged. â€" _ _The deputyâ€"reeve asserted that "five dams could not have stopped the recent floods". Ald. Wesley McKersie, mayor when the project was commenced, informed council that the Grand River Conservation Commission long ago abandoned the idea that the dam would provide flood conâ€" trol. He said it is a conservation project. Ald. McKersie said that seepage from the artificial lake is expected to retsore the supply of underâ€" ground water. thereby supplying wells. "The level of the Grand River won‘t be raised at all, but the consistency of the flow, it is claimed will keep the water carâ€" rying effluent from sewage dispoâ€" sal plants clearer," he said. "Perâ€" sonally, however, I have never been in favor of the scheme!" Mayor Brill said it was originâ€" ally planned to restrain water to a depth of 70 feet but that Engineer H. G. Acres had advised filling to a depth of not more than 40 feet immediately. ‘"But for the war," stated Ald. Albert Heer, "I believe the comâ€" mission intended to build four or five dams." Ald. Heer also expressed regret that the commission had not seen fit to empty the lake to permit reâ€" covery of the Twin City aeroplane. He said by now it will be damaged extensively. _ ‘"‘The Kâ€"W Flying Club has trained many young men for the RCA.F. and it would have been an act of courtesy on the part of the commission to have allowed reâ€" covery of the plane," he declared. Ald. Heer urged Mayor Brill to reâ€" quest the commission to lower the water for that purpose. "The scheme is not worth 15 cents to Waterloo in any way. shape or form you look at it it," concluded Deputyâ€"Reeve Sturm. Bears also tried to get into cabins and would often look in the winâ€" dows. | The nearest school house was John Mogk, Floradale‘s oldest citizen, is receiving congratulations and best wishes today, on his 90th birthday Born on a farm near Heidelberg, Ont., the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mogk, John is the only survivor of a family of 12.

WEST MONTROSE. â€"Miss Mary (By Gertrude Ott) WaterLoo, Ontario, Frmwar, Junz 5, 1942 The Week in Pictures _ In a drastic and, from the Proâ€" | vincial standpoint, unprecedented ; program to increase sheep producâ€" ;tion to meet wartime requirements | for wool, the Ontario Department of Agriculture, with the active asâ€" ‘sistance of the Federal Departâ€" ment, has launched a plan aimed at the development of 1,000 new |flocks and a 25 per cent increase in ‘existing flocks for 1943. Launch Program To Aid Sheep Breeding Increase The Dominion Government asâ€" sistance is being extended to all the Provinces which are embarkâ€" ing upon program to increase sheep production. _ â€" Under the program, the Ontario department will purchase ewe lambs which otherwise would be sold for the meat market and reâ€" tain them for distribution to farâ€" mers under a reâ€"sale plan. The program calls for the return, as breeding stock, of every wellâ€"bred and wellâ€"typed ewe lamb born this year. As an essential feature of the program, pureâ€"bred rams will be supplied to all farmers estabâ€" lishing flocks of a specified size, with fifteen as a minimum, by the Federal Government. Dumarts Employees Have Residence Windows Smashed While no estimateâ€"could be given as to the number of lambs and sheep which will be marketed, Provincial authorities said that, undoubtedly, by normal standards lamb for the table will be scarce this autumn and winter. Late reâ€" ports to the department indicated there were more than 387,000 head, one year or over, in Ontario. The sheep expansion program was born of a recommendation by Agriculture Minister P. M. Dewan last April before the Ontario Leâ€" gislative Agriculture Committee. He scounded the need, underlined by the effect of Japanese conquests in the South Pacific on Australian and New Zealand wool exports, last February before the Ontario Sheep Breeders‘ Association. Canada, he then said, produced 19,200,000 pounds of wool, less oneâ€"fifth of the 109,245,000 pounds used for military and civilian purâ€" poses. It was, he said, imperative that steps be taken immediately to increase sheep and wool producâ€" tion on this continent. He advoâ€" cated: "Let us urge that every good ewe lamb be kept for breedâ€" Ing purposes.‘ Less than one week after the Agriculture Committee had deâ€" clared for an expansion in sheep farming, the department had a call for a conference at Ottawa. From the conference at the capital, the Ontario Department drafted a speâ€" cial committee and, from the comâ€" mittec‘s recommendations and the coâ€"operation _ of _ the _ Federal au!_l}orities. came the program. The program was drafted under the chairmanship of Deputy Minâ€" ister W. R. Reek and the campaign is under the direction of William Watson, Live Stock Branch. Workâ€" ing on the committee were: L. E. O‘Neill, director, and Richard Graâ€" ham, Live Stock Branch; Dr. Geo. Christie, president, and Professor R. G. Knox, Animal Husbandry, O.A.C.; R. S. Duncan, director, and Arthur Martin, assistant director, agricultural representatives, and nine miles from the homestead, and too many bears and wolves prowling around the bush did not permit Mr. Mogk to go to school. However he did learn to read and write while attending confirmation school at Floradale when 16 years of age. A few years later he married Elizabeth _ Grosz, _ with _ Pastor Brandt of Floradale performing the ceremony. They resided in this community. Four children blessed their home, 2 sons surviving: John of Saskatchewan and Alfl'ed of Floradale. His wife also predeâ€" ceased him. In 1888 he married Caroline Seitz of West Montrose, who pasesd away about four years ago. Their marriage was blessed with 2 sons, William and Harty, of Kitchener Mr. Mogk, who resides with his son, Alfred and Mrs. Mogk, is enâ€" joying good health.
