At two separate meetings last week _grape growers of the peninsula gathâ€" ered in discussion of the 1935 crop and its disposal. A meeting at Winona town hall last Wednesday night took up the subject of marketing, while at the meeting in the morning and afterâ€" â€"moon in St. Catharines, the growers _gathered with the wine manufacturers in discussion of the new Rhodes budâ€" .get and the advantages it has given <to the hard liquor trade. Last week at the Winona town hall, with Joseph J. Smith, president of the .Niagara Grape Growers‘ association, _presiding, two delegates were appointâ€" ed to the peninsula wide convention, where a plan will be formulated, reâ€" turned to each of the district groups for approval and then forwarded to «Ottawa. A. peninsulaâ€"wide convention will be held April 6 at St. Catharines, when grape growers of the whole district â€"will gather to discuss the troubles besetting their industry. Necessity for stabilization of prices is seen, in view of the bumper crop which is ~prophesied, and it is expected that apâ€" proval will be given to some suitable scheme under the Dominion Marketâ€" ing act. "Something must be done for the grape industry. We have had bitter experience in the past. We must take up the matter with the wineries, but they are not going to consume the bulk of the grapes this year. We can‘t pick up the basketâ€"trade for grapes without fostering it, but I think through the proposed scheme we might get some stabilized price," he declared. "Next season we will have ten thousand tons of grapes anyway, in excess of 1934, on the fresh fruit merketâ€"double last year‘s quantity." At the former meeting, plans were :made for the mass gathering April 6 ‘at St. Catharines. At the other, the winemen and growers framed a petiâ€" tion which will be forwarded to Premâ€" jer Bennett. It is understood that the wine industry seeks to have its own imposts and tariffs lifted in line with ‘the favours recently accorded the disâ€" tillers. Opposition was expressed by A. L. Cole, grapeâ€"grower, who feared that the growers, by accepting the Marketâ€" ing act, would bind themselves to the Horticultural council‘s desires. He did not want to see the grapemen made "a catspaw of the nurserymen," which he feared would happen if the act was adopted. He warned that once under the act‘s provisions, it would be difficult to withdraw, and said that the men administering it had divided interests. He urged volâ€" untary coâ€"operation among the growâ€" them. John Bridgeman saw possibilities in the Marketing act, and suggested that the grapeâ€"growers would be wise to specify adopting it year by year, if J. J. Smith said he doubted whether, if the grapemen came under the act, they could get out of the red in one Wine manufacturers and grape growers in the Niagara peninsula are agitating over the reduction by the Dominion government on the excise tax on spirituous liquors and repreâ€" sentatives of the two bodies held a joint meeting last week in St. Cathâ€" STABILIZATION OF GRAPE PRICES ers, r;a.ther than by going to the govâ€" ernment, and "getting tied in knots."

With regard to unemployment, Mr. Hepburn said that if shorter hours of employment were found to be necesâ€" sary, then his government would see that they were enforced. He believed that the basic producers should be put on a basis by which they could lower the cost of production either by a lowâ€" ering of tariffs or by a lowering of the cost of administration. The Premier concluded his address by saying that if his efforts failed then the people of Ontario could vote him out of office, and he would be quite content to return to his farm. ‘"Canada is sound," he said, "and if there is any trouble, then it is in a faulty system of bookkeeping." On Saturday the newspapermen acâ€" cepted an invitation to visit the plant of the Charters Publishing Company and other industries, being guests of Messrs. Charters at Brampton. ‘"Whatever else happens in Ontario," he said. ‘"we intend to balance our budget even if we have to enforce new taxation, and put the burden on the shoulders of those best able to carry the load. We are going to have prosâ€" perity on a fully sound basis." Damage of $200 occurred as a reâ€" sult of a blaze at the barn on the property of Mr. Ed. Farewell, 16 Robinson St. North, Grimsby, on Monâ€" day evening. The fire broke out at 7.30 o‘clock but was quickly gotâ€" ten under control by the Grimsâ€" by â€"Fire Department. It had, however, made considerable headway when the alarm was given, the roof and one side of the barn being in flames. With high water pressure in the mains the firemen were enabled to save the structure. Only one line of hose was laid. Considerable elecâ€" trical equipment was stored in the barn and was damaged. The daily proceedings of the federal government were being closely watchâ€" ed by himself and his colleagues, the Premier continued, while announcing the calling of a special session of the Ontario house immediately following the dissolution of the house of comâ€" mons at Ottawa. Over one hundred publishers were present from the two provinces. A. T. Michell, of the Smithville Review, Fred Barraclough, of the Beamsville Express and Clive 8. Bean of The Inâ€" dependent, Grimsby, were among those present. "I only hope that in time they will change their view regarding me," he said. The fire attracted a large crowd. The flames iluminated the sky and could be seen for some distance. He commented on the fact that next Thursday would see a delegation of hunger marchers at Queen‘s park to demand a greater measure of relief. The Premier expressed the opinion that perhaps no other man in the last decade had received such bitter critiâ€" cisms as he was now receiving from the Tory press.

Premier Hepburn has announced that a special session of the Ontario legislature would be called immediateâ€" ly following the dissolution of the fedâ€" eral house, to effect a balanced budâ€" get for the province. Speaking at the luncheon of the Ontario and Quebec division of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers‘ association held in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, on Friday last, the Premier declared that Onâ€" tario was going to balance its budget even if it meant new taxation.

The main had an: aftermath _ however as someone squealed to Magistrate Forbes and provided him with a list of all the spectators. His worship immediately issued summonses for them, but when he called in Constable James M. Fareâ€" well to serve them, found out that even the constable had been at the fight so W. F. Lewis was sworn in as a special cop to do the work. Everyâ€" body pleaded guilty to the charge and fines from $5 and costs to $25 were imposed, but that is all they were, just imposed, for not one fine out of 50 was.ever paid or any attempt made to collect them.
