Mr. Stewart claimed many big opera- tors took advantage of the capi- tal available and, because they were guaranteed of a high price, made large profits. - Under the deficiency payment plan the farmer will sell his hogs or other commodities for the 80-| ing price and will receive a pay-| ment equal to the difference in the average market price and a "reasonable" price set by the government, the speaker explain-| ed. Payments would be made oy the first 100 hogs sold. "This will hit the big guy,"| he said. "I know one fellow in my area who had contracted 5000 hogs out for feeding -- he is not in business today." However, the speaker pointed out that 85 to 90 per cent of the hogs sold were produced by AIR CADET NEWS Planners To Retain Status The Oshawa Regional Planning Association voted Thursday night to remain as an association rath- er than assume the status of a regional planning board Such a board would have wider powers than the present ORPA.

The motion to continue as an association came from Whitby Mayor Stanley Martin. It was seconded by Reeve Wilfrid Pas- coe of East Whitby township.

PASTEL SHADES Large windows on all sides and pastel colored walls should make the new building a pleas ant place to work in, Mr. Hodg- son said. There will be supervisors' of- ices on the main and second floors. The building will also have a lunchroom, stock room and basement. The service moved into the Albert street location in March, 1947. The building had formerly been occupied by Alger Press Limited. The move to Albert iireet was made due fo the fact hat the former office had out- grown the old YMCA building, which was located where the Pdst Office now stands. The first employment office, which was operated by the pro- vincial government, was located in the building at the northwest corner of King and Church Sts. Among the early managers were Charles Wilcox, Dan Douglas, Major Hamilton and Rae Halli day. Up to the present the service has operated from rented prem- ses. The new building will be floor of the new federal property. It was built by the old office, 'the Department of Public Works.
