M. Coady of St. Francis Xavier Univergity to speak here. A max of intellectual accomplishment with a zeal for social and economic reform, Dr. Coady's message was one to strongly stimulate serious thought about the future of this country. In the audience were representatives of labor, agricul- ture, business, the professions from a wide area. Their lively questions indicated that they were deeply impressed with the views of the speaker, if not agreeing upon minor details. Dr. Coady's theme df Cooperative Democratic Living was at once basic and appealing in these uncertain days, His ad- vocacy of business cooperatives is something many persons have wished to hear more about and have wondered whether they might not be turning to socialism when they lend sup- port to cooperatives. Dr. Coady's answer was an emphatic "No"--and this from a representative of a faith generally opposed to socialistic enterprises. Though it may be trite wider cooperation in the field of human relationships is the great modern need, particularly so' in urban communities. The Pickering Township Feder- ation has been doing a useful service in this and other ways. May they so continue. were guests of Mr, and Mrs, Dave Hockaday over Easter holidays.

Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Macfie on their bid of 7 N.T. and to Mrs. Frost and Mrs. Thom- son on reaching 7 Clubs. All other partnerships played it in lower bids of Clubs or N.T. and of course, took the 13 tricks.

Better Crop Contract : Sought By Growers An emergency meeting of 'the district Vegetable Growers Assoce iation will be held tomorrow after- noon in the Township Hall at Brooklin, Alarmed over rising costs of production and dissatisfield with the award prices which a Board of Arbitration has set, growers of canning crops in this area and throughout Ontario are declining to sign the customary contracts with canneries. Recently a representative of one of the major firms sat in Whitby all day waiting for farmers to come and discuss contracts with him. None came. Local growers point out that costs of seed, fertilizer, labor, trucking have. all soared in the past year. While the award prices were higher, in each case, then growers were paid in 1950, they are not high enough by 1951 stand- ards, the farmers say. Take tomatoes: the district growers recommend that the Board of Arbitration set a price of $35 per ton for No. 1 and $25 for No, 2, These prices were carefully esti mater by the accounting depart- ment of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, The Board did not accept them and awarded prices $3 per ton lower, with une graded tomatoes being set 'at $27 per ton. Likewise prices for peas, corn and cucumbers are held to be ine adequate. The actual "take home" price for corn .is actually lower than received in 1949, it is stated. All these matters concerning contract prices will be thrashed out at the meeting Friday. After that, canners may be able to get contracts printed and try again to sign up their growers. Disagree- ment on price structure is not a local affair, but common to grow- ers throughout the province, TO PROBE SARATOGA GAMBLING Albany, N.Y., March 29 -- (AP)-- Governor Thomas E.
