At the Tuesday meeting the fol- lowing Chairmen of committees were appointed: Farmers who are in any doubt about any of the regulations should get in touch with the local ration board, either in person or by writ- ing. They will receive prompt answers to their inquiries. Every farmer who makes his own butter and consumes it in his own home must also turn in every month to his local ration board, enough coupons to cover the butter eaten in his own household, at the rate of one coupon for every half pound of 'butter per person in the household. All coupons collected by a farm- er selling butter must be turned in to the local ration board in his dis- trict. Coupons collected for the latter part of December and for all of January need not be turned in until the end of January, but after that they must be turned in at the end of every month. Every farmer who sell butter made on his farm, either direct to consumer customers or to stores, must collect the proper number of coupons covering these sales, at the rate of half a pound per person per week. He should be collecting these coupons now because he must not sell any butter unless he gets the proper coupons in return. butter he is producing weekly. How much he and his family consume and how muoh he sells. Full in- formation can be secured from the Local Rationing Board. It is a known fact that so long as there are any miners on strike at all that the embargo will not be lifted. What coal is being mined is being sent to the Eastern and New England States and there is not a chance in the world of any of it getting this side of the boun- dary. One dealer reports that on Fri- day of last week, in the space of two hours, he refused orders for coal from three different people, because he had put in their winter supply away back last fall. All dealers are refusing to place coal in bins where the drivers find a sufficient quantity already there for the,us_er to carry on with for a reasonable period of time. Like the butter hoarding situa- tion, there have been some people in the district, since the coal prob- lem first started to become acute, would like to have done a little hoarding.

Their gross sales for the year were $2,295.82, "all out of nothing," as Miss Crane put it. Wool, 755 lbs. of it, and 5,390 yards of material were purchased at a cost of $2,408.43. Of the Campaign funds amount- ing to $6,419.58, 70% or $4,441.90 was sent to Headquarters, as was also 70% of all other collections. The sum of $1,200. feceived from the White Elephant was spent on a "utilicon" -- a gift to the Cana- dian Red Cross for use overseas. The treasurer’s report, read by Miss Crane, disclosed a balance on hand at the end of the year's busi- ness of $971.29. Though not as large as the balance at the end of the previous year, partly owing to the inability to carry on the re- freshment booth at the Council Chamber grounds this summer, this was considered satisfactory. Cash received during the year was $8,693.98 which, with a balance on hand at the beginning of the year of $1,331.14 totalled $10,025.12. Disbursements for the year were $9,053.83.

Canister, speaking in the capacity of a. city consumer, declared that he had learned from his own experience in Ottawa that city people have the money and the desire to buy fruit from this dis- trict. However, they are hesitant to buy because they have been dis- "If we persistently and honestly strive to achieve that place where the best possible merchandising methods shall become operative there is not any real reason why success should not crown our ef- fonts. It would be humiliating to be forced to admit that we have not got what it takes to put across a program for the betterment-or perchance the salvation -- of our own industry," he concluded. "Probably improvement should first be attempted cautiously and experimentally, because this plan is so important that we can not af- ford to make too many serious mis- takes. Mr. Culp urged that co-operation be sought from government ser- vices to get necessary facts. "If it is possible to have a careful study made of consumer reactions, and it is found that definite facts - not conjecture, supposition or hearsay but honest - to - goodness facts -- prove that certain practices are de- finitely detrimental to the industry in general, then I would expect that we would have the courage to correct malpractice. "It may be 'the handwriting on the wall' if we go along complac- ently believing that the methods that were good enough for dad and grandfather are good enough for us," he warned. has been freely predicted that we are to experience much freer trade between the United States and our- selves," he said, commenting on ad- vanced merchandising methods of American fruit growers. He advocated "an all-out inspec- tion service, with emphasis on or- chard and packing-house inspec- tion." Advertising would be a fourth link in the chain. "Our competitors are highly Or'- ganized," he noted displaying a large advertisement placed by Brit- ish Columbia apple growers. "It His plan included fact-finding and investigation followed by try- outs and correction. Serious con- sideration should be given, he sug- gested to the advisability of em- ploying someone to work on behalf of the growers, having to do with merchandising problems common to all growers. "I am going to advance a sug- gestion __ that as an organization we embark upon a tiire-year plan to bring about more efficient mer- chandising of our produce," pro- posed Mr. Culp. "To meet our costs we must get a fair price. Price is closely link- ed up with consumer confidence. Therefore we should pay more attention to the likes and dislikes of our consuming public, "The customer whom we contact (the fruit dealer) may De primari- ly interested in the spread between the buying and selling price and fast, easy turn-over.

"The consumer should not be the forgotten individual. President Culp, who lives at Vineland, summed the proposal up in a talk to 255 growers on the subject of better marketing. "We need to ascertain the likes and dis- likes of those who consume our fruit. Consumer satisfaction, or the lack of it, should be of definite vital concern to us as growers," he said. "As fruit growers should we adopt the slogan "The consumer is always right?" Emphasis is on the word consumer. To lighten the proceedings, a piano solo was pleasingly rendered by Miss Joan Eaton, followed by a Square Dance by a group of High School girls, and choruses by the school choir. Other artists as- sisting in the entertainment were Miss Marion Cline and Robert Gil- lespie. Farmers were warned that unless they do this, they will lose existing city markets to fruit growers from British Columbia and the United States who do pay attention to the consumer's wants. That plans for a hospital to serve Grimsby, Beamsville and Smith- ville districts were under consi- deration by the Lions' Club was the encouraging message given by A. R. Globe.

On the heels of the proposal and discussion a resolution was passed authorizing the directors to pursue the plan. The resolution: "Whereas the area in which peaches and cer- tain other fruits and grapes can be grown is limited, and whereas un- der present methods of marketing, unsatisfactory results both for con- sumer and producer prevail, and whereas if the Niagara fruit in- dustry is to progress it must have a satisfied consuming public, and whereas we believe that by proper methods we can develop a satisfied consuming market for peaches par- ticularly, overplanting of high appointed in the past by the poor quality or lack of ripeness in the fruit. . Harold Smith, Vineland Station, reported on an inspection tour of orchards in the United States where independent inspectors exa- mine fruit which is being picked right at the orchard, and again examine it at the packing house to be sure it is in proper condition for shipment so that it will arrive at the consumer's in Just the right stage. a. , as aways, Me '8a1cuici, £1127 tfdy is yoyt/iirtauettsh..aa, 4fa uné‘brm bud 972M qualify Fit/tr, V m .; .

They have gone from every institution in Canada; but from none more than from the chartered banks. There is hardly a branch office from coast to coast which is not today the poorer-and the prouder --for those who thus laid down their pens. But every branch manager, as he shook parting hands, had this consolation: he could say to every regular member of the staff of the bank, "We'11 hold your place. It will be waiting for you when you come back. That is a pledge." They are missed - missed not only in their homes but also in the business places which once they filled. IN EVERY city, town and village throughout Canada today there are gaps where once were young men.
