first time in 1946 on august 23 of this year the store will be open for the last time owner fred lewis will retire from business and move to a new home near barrie any remaining stock is to be sold in a final auction sale september 1 mr lewis told the tribunethat he was forced to make the move due to airport expropriation they couldnt operate the business on the kind of shortterm high- price lease that the government was of fering he said- thesituatioh was also ah insecure one for his employees he added since first being confronted with the problem of moving mr lewis says that a lot of things have fallen into place and the loss of farming and rural customers in the area made his decision easier through the years the store has always been one to adapt to new situations however a july 1969 article in canadian farm equipment dealer magazine used the business as an example of one that had successfully changed with the community- whereit was located one activity that put the store on the map was an annual hay day featuring dancing refreshments prizes and hay equipment demonstrations the honored guest on more than one occasion was none other than bobby hull the store began as a feed mix mill dealing mainly in poultry feed by 1968 that part of the business was dropped and other kinds of goods were emphasized jnstead these included not only farm equip ment but also hardware items motor cycles and most recently mopeds chain saws paint garden- tractors tires farm boots nails hammers and dog food were all sold at altona feed and supply at one point in the stores evolution the format of the store was changed to more of a supermarket approach with customers serving themselves the store has also specialized in ser- vicing and supplying parts for both farm equipment and small engines at the time the 1969 article was written the store was turning over 500000 in business annually and fred lewis had become a seemingly permanent part of the altona community but the pickering airport plans changed that it gives us all mixed feelings mr lewis commented there are thoughts we cant digest yet but im sure well all keep close together and hope the end results are good he expressed appreciation for the customer support and employee contribution over the years and especially singled out his wife who fit herself in with my heavy and irregular schedule the lewis family will take up retirement in a new home built on two acres of hardwood land about six miles west of barrie mr lewis added that they will certainly welcome friends- and customers to call on us fe i a farm report price levels in doubt by a a wall agricultural representative there is lots of discussion these days on how long pork prices will stay up and how long beef prices will stay down housing

housework no one can tell of course because there are so many different things that can affect supply and demand the weather feed prices import changes poultry prices and world markets are all uncertain there is still some value inlookihg at a few points that are known in pork for example following the normal cycle would mean con tinuing good prices until next february at least this doesnt mean that the unusual prices in the last few weeks will hold but the average from now last while fluid sales are down two to three per cent two per cent milk sales are up about four per cent and cream sales are down five per cent more milk is going into manufacturing butter is up 11 per cent but we will still be arou nd 20 million pounds short of crease in the export levy is being considered chese production will be about the same as last year and imports will increase slightly crop yields world grain supplies and grain prices again have a big effect on livestock what we use skim milk recent exports and with powder is the only real dry weather perhaps problem production is only average yields up 27 per cent world grain prices may not go prices are down 43 per nearly as low as ex- cent and
