of it was received by people other than farmers In countries which al low edible oils to compete with dairy products the sale of dairy products have been reduced percent the brief stated It was stated that percent of labor would be af fected by any saving to the consumer by substituting dairy products The saving would be more than offset by a loss in wages it was said After the brief was presented questions were asked as to why no names had been attached to publicity put out by the edible oil institute K- fHsC Organization Meeting Will Plan Objectives An Denizations meeting of the Newmarket Rate payers association will be held on Tuesday March pm in the Firemens auditorium Brie Hardy dir ector of the as Research nstitute will be the guest speaker RED CROSS DRIVE BRINGS 367336 The Rod

who have not yet contributed may do so at the Bank of Toronto where official receipts will be given The officers of the Newmarket branch of the Red Cross express thanks to all those who in any way assisted during the campaign A Ratepayers association is a very good thing for a town from every point of view said John Chappell chairman of the citi zens committee which held the preliminary meetings prior to the organization of an associ ation in Newmarket I can tell you the aims of other ratepayers associations but as the Newmar ket one has not been established it has no constitution Rate payers associations are auxili ary units to council They act as a liaison committee between the public and their elected repre sentatives and cooperate with each in maintaining smooth re lationships In Lansing where a Ratepay ers association has been organiz ed and is functioning success fully it was largely responsible for obtaining postal delivery for that municipality That was only one of the successful pro jects of the Lansing association and which might become a local project Ratepayers are training grounds for future councillors and school board trustees Candidates for muni cipal office will make better town representatives if they have become familiar with town projects prior to seeking office A Ratepayers association is not a Reef Society but attempts to create and stimulate interest in educational and municipal mat ters In most centres where such associations have been they have been of great as sistance to the councils A Ratepayers association can act as a barometer registering public opinion It can screen many of the annoying things that take up a councillors time as it can become a listening post to which members direct their questions suggestion com plaints When an association has many members in favor of a certain thing being done then the organization would advise the appropriate department or committee of these opinions or constructive criticisms now Society See To School The Mount Albert Horticultur al Society will give two pack ages of seeds to each pupil who will plant and care for them The Fall Show is held usually during the
