'WESTON PUPILS VISIT TIMES-GAZETTE Guests of Roy H. Thomson, president of The Thomson Com- pany, Limited, and owner of The "Times - Gazette, the above group "of Grade 7 and 8 pupils of the Melody Road Public School, near 'V Weston, made a tour of inspec- [ tion of the plant of The Times- | Gazette yesterday afternoon. Mrs. E. L. Kedey, assistant prin- cipal of the school, seen at the right of the picture, was 'in charge of the party. --Photo by Campbell's Studios Must Decide Whether ~ Is the cutting of a woman's toe- nails an act of kindness or is it t the practice of chiropody? This is one of the questions of fact which Magistrate F. S. Ebbs will have to decide within the next two weeks when he will give judgment in the case of J. Bruce McLeod, itinerant . salesman for the Miracle Foot Aid . Company of Hamilton. McLeod, a former construction worker, faces a charge of "prac- tising" which was instituted by he Board of Chiropodists. Coming * #0 Oshawa (one of nine cities in which the company operates) for two days every two weeks, he op- | erates from an apartment leased by. him at 33 McMillan Drive. . ~ An "average" case would cost the patient $150 to $200 and take a * period of from 18 months to two ,and one-half years to complete, McLeod said. "SPECIALIZED WORK " Prosectuor John 'Nelligan argued ",to the court: "This man is a con- 'struction worker by trade yet he 'blithely takes on responsibilitities 'only given to a chiropodist after four years of specialization. He sald that many people come to him with foot ailments -- all of them complaining of something. Yet he admits having done some cutting procedure on feet. The pub- le should be protected from un- 'skilled men. This is not a question 'of a man just prescribing a shoe i but of treatment. He tells the pat- t lent to come back again until the : i 'poor dupe has paid out $200 or N 7 more. McLeod was out to make these witnesses think only one J -- that the Miracle Foot Aid is the only thing to keep them living!" EVIDENCE MEAGER X Defence counsel J. P. Mangan, QC, reminded the court that only isolated instances were pre- sented in evidence and that evi- dence was the word of '"'detectives. or stooges' which should be viewed with suspicion and that there was no evidence of actual practice of chiropody. First witness for the prosecution was a Mrs. William Cooper who came to Oshawa on April 9 as a detective in the case. When she visited McLeod she called is atten- tion to her ingrown toenails and he obtained a large file from another room with which he trimmed them. Mr. Mangan: "Well, it doesn't take any special training to cut toe Mrs. Cooper pointed out that she did not make a second visit so no charge was made for what was ne, Mr. Mangan asked the investiga- tor, Mrs. Cooper: '"'How's your bat- ting average in these cases?" "I haven't lost a case yet." "With the same toe nails?" "Yes, I find as I go along, these Nail Cutting Chiropody men | me." Next prosecution witness was (Mrs. W. Jamieson whose -qualifi- | fix my ingrown toe nails for cation for her work was by reason iof having callouses on the feet. On | March- 24, she went to McLeod. He {told her she had "nervous Feet'. "That's the first time I have ever heard of nervous feet," broke in the magistrate. | Then, she said, McLeod went into | another room, obtained a knife and itrimmed the callouses. She was to have come back later for a pair of | special shoes. | Mr. Mangan: "Does your em- ! ployment as an investigator depend upon the number of convictions you get?" "That's hard to say." Dr. James A. Britain of Oshawa, doctor of surgical chiropody, de- tailed his qualifications as a spe- cialist. He said that Mrs. Cooper 'came to him and he found some evidence that her toe nails had been freshly clipped. The feet are always susceptible to infection, if they should suffer a skin cut, he On the witness stand, McLeod said he had been employed by the ton for two years. He described his method of operation. A foot arch with spring is prescribed. Then the patient is asked to wear it for about two weeks and return at which time the tension of the spring may be increased. "We fit, apply, service but we do not treat the foot," McLeod said. He denied he ever did any work on feet of patients but admitted he might have cut toe nails once in a while and that he might have cut Mrs. Cooper's. He denied hav-| ing cut Mrs. Jamieson's callouses. However, the file he used for Mrs. Cooper's toes was the work bench file used for shaping leather. McLeod admitted he had never taken any course in anatomy and knew little about the structure of bones of the foot. Cost of the sup- port, he said, was $25. At a later date, there is a charge of $25 a visit and the visits might continue for many months. George Harman of London, with the company for 20 years, said that his men were instructed never to attempt any treatment and are forbidden to cut the foot in any way. Mr. Nelligan asked: "If I came to you with a good pair of feet would you try to sell me arches?" "That's an academic question. Everyone who comes to us has a complaint."

It is not so. Quite gen- erally the prices of all farm prod- ucts are inter-related and a change in the price bf one product may affect the price of a number of others. i If, for instance, hog prices go too high, consumers will turn to | buying more beef, with the result that with decreasing demand for pork its price would go down. This makes for fluctuating prices and {induces farmers to jump in and out of these commodities, which {in turn creates greater fluctua- | tions. | Stabilized prices, on the other : hand, will give producers the pos-| | sibility to lay their plang of pro- | {duction for a certain length of time | and to stay with the commodity {most suitable for their establish- ment, |INCREASED RETURNS | The aim of the committee is to {raise $250,000 for land, plant and {equipment.

If |the producers can iserease the over-all return for their milk by only 10 cents per hundredweight, | the plant should pay for itself with- in a couple of years. Such an increase of the over-all {return may not be directly visible in the returns for the surplus milk, but it has been shown that produc- ler owned surplus plants have the increasing quotas and thereby the average price of milk |paid to the producer.
