S.-Another change of plans has been made by British Columbia fruit growers in con- nection with their efforts to bring about stabilization and improvement of the markets for 1923. The pro- posed Board of Control, as outlined in this correspondence in early De- cember has been abandoned, and the growers' committee of seven repre- sentative members is now seeking to evolve a working marketing scheme based upon the recommendations of many ot the local associations in tav- or of the establishment of a central selling agency. Should they succeed it will be'the creation of "One Big Union" that will probably control the distribution and sale of at least 90 per cent. of the fruit grown in Brit- ish Columbia next summer, and, per- haps, a considerable percentage of the Dr. Macklin, who has been mak- ing a tour of California and other co- operative centres for purposes of in- vestigation, happened to drop into the Okanagan alley just as the growers' committee commenced consideration of the details of the organization ot a Board ot Control. Dr. Macklin was asked to "sit in" with the committee. He did so, and after some considera- tion had, been given to the proposal was most emphatic in his declaration that a Board of Control would not achieve the object aimed at, for the simple reason that it would constitute an attempt to mix co-operation with selling of produce for the sole purpose of profit. In other words, he declared that it was quite-as impossible to make the co-operative ideals travel hand-in-hand with independent com- panies, whose reason tor existence is private gain, as it would be to make oil and water intermingle. Would Invite Failure The arguments advanced by Dr. Macklin were so convincing that the committee at once realized that to proceed with the creation of a Board of Control project would but be to invite failure at the start. Dr. Mack- lin commended the Central Selling Agency plan just as emphatically as he had condemned the Board of Con- trol, pointing out that such an organ- ization, backed by tive-year contracts with the grower, would probably suc- ceed because it would have as its basis true co-operation principles. He ex- pressed the opinion that British Co- lumbia growers having had two seas- ons of low prices should be just about in the proper frame of mind to give better support to co-operative move- ment than they have ever done up to the present time. vegetables. Abandonment of the Board of Con- trol plan was due entirely to advice given the growers' committee by one man----Dr. Macklin, professor of agri- cultural economics at the University of Wisconsinc-and a recognized auth- ority on matters pertaining to co-op- erative marketing of farm products.

Another important factor in the situa- tion is that the independent companies have made little or no money since 1920, and some ot them at least are willing to sell their packing houses at reasonable prices. It the "One Big Union" plan works out as successful- ly it is not unlikely that the growers will next season operate a majority of the packing houses in British Co- lumbia. It is planned to organize with considerable capitalization, and this, together with a five-year con- tract, should make the financing of sale of the crop a much easier matter than it is at the present. time. Pres- ent difficulties in this respect are due almost wholly to the short-term con- tracts and lack of capitalization, the borrowing bower of the co-operatives being almost Itil.

The boys got up some dough and came home a winner. When the third period started four ot Grimsby's most illustrious fans were suffering with palpatation of the pericardium and did not go out into the rink but huddled around the stove in the dressing room. The quar- tette was composed of a well known real esta'ter, a merical man, a hockey coach and a newspaper reporter. In the middle of the period the news gatherer wandered upstairs to look at the game. We witnessed the wonder- ful Urquhart-Bricker-den rush that scored the winning goal and heard the time-gong ring. "Zowie!" he yelled, "the game is tie!" and down stairs in- to the dressing room he rushed holler- ing, "The game is a tie!"

Dr. Vance R. Farrell, secretary of the Grimsby club, had all the certificates made out last year and there will be no question of cards for last year's players, who are all available again this year, and there will be several new ones added for whom certificates are obtainable. All players must be bonitide residents from Jan. 1. There is to be a meeting of the Niagara dis- trict league at St. Catharines on March 1, and it is then that cards must be presented.

' The "No Smoking" rule at our own ice palace was never appreciated until Saturday night at Oakville. The smoke hung over the ice there like a blanket, seriously interfered with the players' vision and wind supply, and made close following of the play from the boards impossible. The O.H.A. Buffalo newspapers on Friday last carried the news that Grimsby juniors were playing against a Buffalo team that night. "Dad" Mabey read the item and hastily gathered a bunch of old Grimsbyites together and rushed out to the rink only to find that it was St. Catharines that was playing. It is expected that the Peach Buds will play in Butralo this coming Saturday night, providing the O.H.A. grants the necessary permission. ?,roteombination is badly needed by both teams. This goal getting _ busi- ness is all right, but more goals can be obtained from passes than by indi- vidual rushes.

Saturday night's game at Oakville produced some funny incidents. Some of our fans missed our first tally in the third period and did a war dance when "Brick" got the winning one, figuring that it was only the tieing one and that the Peach Kings still had a chance. _ l larg‘e contingent of Burlington fans were on hand and went home tickled to death. Not only were they pléasedeto see Oakville loose the game but the way it happened made their happiness complete. Those two good pals "Slim" and "Fat" were on the job and rumor has it that they arrived in Burlington with a lot of good Oak- ville ja'ck in their pockets.
