BOY SCOUT SPRAYED IN RIVER TRIP SCOUT SPRAYED--Murray Thesen, a scout with the First Prince George Troop, is in for a soaking as bow of the boat cuts through the swift waters of the Parsnip River. Fourteen scouts, all between the ages of 14 and 16, followed a fur traders' route down the Crooked, Pack, and Parsnip Rivers. The 135-mile river run took them three days. --(CP Photo) Prices Displease Board Chairman COBOURG--Stanley C. Smith, chairman of the Ontario flue- cured tobacco growers' market- ing board, told about 300 mem- bers of Durham-Northumber- land flue-cured tobacco growers association at their annual meeting here last week that each grower must decide wheth- er he is willing to work together for the benefit of himself. Mr. Smith said \there was a misconception on the part of people outside the tobacco in- dustry who have the idea to- bacco is selling better than ever. He referred to the high of 59.21 cents per pound set at Till- sonburg. Mr. Smith pointed out that in 1957 this would have been a good price for tobacco, "but it is certainly not a good price now". He pointed out that in 1959 tobacco sold "day after day" at more than 60 cents a pound. "Even by that measurement, this week's high is no record," more than a manufacturers have been able to develop ways to produce from 20 to 25 per cent more cigarets per pound of tobacco. On top of that they have in- creased the price of a package of cigarets by one cent." He said a Canadian survey by the Woods Gordon Company in- dicated that tobacco farmers should be getting 60 cents per pound average price. MUST WORK TOGETHER "Unless we are willing to do something in a collective way, we will never achieve any price stability." Mr. Smith said. '"Di- rectors, committeemen and|' farmers must work together like labor unionists; for the collec- tive good and not for the good of any one individual. "I don't know how this can be accomplished. It took one man three years to convince me that this was the way to work and if it took as long to con- vince each one of you, then lifetime would Mr. Smith said. He noted that by Wednesday the price had gone down to 56.48 cents. REASONS CITED "These are not good prices for several reasons. Foremost is the fact that the board has reduced our cut by 50 per cent so that our cost of production is what it once was for two pounds. On this basis our cost to produce the tobacco is at its highest ever." Mr. Smith pointed to last year's losses suffered through "the lowest market in the last 10 years". He said that cigaret pass, "But if you are going to allow the marketing board to tell you what to do and when, will comply with the kind of legislation which now regulates you; doesn't it seem reasonable that the board should be able if ypu to assure you of price stability? "The only way you will ever get it, is by presenting a united front--by each farmer deciding that he is willing to work with everyone else in the industry, and that he will abide by what is decided upon as best for the | industry as a-'whole."

Hearty congratulations to two Make Bid To Preserve Hasty Pee's PORT HOPE -- A committee of ex-officers from all armed services in the Port Hope area are going to fight the closing of "Cc" Company of 'the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment in Durham County. Gen. H. G. Graham, former chief of the general staff and former colonel of the Hasty Pee's with Brig. L. N. Carr and Lt. Col. Angus Duffy, will pre- sent a brief to the minister of national defence on behalf of the 'Save the Regiment Commit- tee' The six outlying units of the regiment, in Trenton, Madoc, Norwood, Port Hope, Millbrook and Picton are expected to train at headquarters in Belleville. This move came with the cut- back in militia strength across the country. MAIN ARGUMENTS The committee will pose three main arguments in an attempt to have the move reconsidered: The Hastings and Prince Ed- ward Regiment is one of the langest militia units in Canada, and depends upon the rural areas for its strength. Durham County, with a mili- tary history dating back to 1812, has always supported its militia units. Transporting troops from Dur- ham County to Belleville for training, a distance of 100 miles return, is impractical. It cannot be maintained as a "'major unit" as specified in de- fence literature, say committee- men, unless the outlying areas} are represented. REGIMENT MERGED Exactly 10 years ago this! month the former Midland | Regiment lost its identity and was merged with the Hasty Pee's. With the present trend, say. former officers, another 10 years is likely to see complete elimination of the regiment. | In the entire battalion area} the units boast. an \strength of more than 450. About| 200 are training at Belleville. Another argument by. the com- mittee is the small amount re- |quired to keep the six outlying |militia units. A total of $38,000 was spent during 1963 for up- keep (not including service salaries), Cook, who are members of the! East.

Organized by young advertis- ing men and button-down exec- utivés on the Toronto Junior Board of Trade, the festival is a week of foofarah and funny hats in which the Canadian pro- fessional football final Saturday is all but a sideshow. Estimates of the total value to local business of the Grey Cup final vary. But a junior board of trader says a conserv- ative guess gives hotels, res- taurants, bars, taxis, stores nad retail outlets of the Liquor Con- trol Board of Ontario a total of $1,000,000 extra business in the week. The organizers of the 1964 Grey Cup Festival, celebrating the clash between Hamilton Ti- ger-Cats and British Columbia Sivan, have been at it since Oc- tober, 1963, when advertising executive John Sinclair was ap- pointed festival chairman. The organization bore its first, slightly bruised fruit Monday when the first of a daily series of noon-hour "'hoop-la parades" -- consisting of one float -- roamed a midtown route, ab- breviated from a scheduled tour through the heart of, the downtown area.

As a start the department of education will produce a single half-hour program each week for elementary school students. The 17-man committee advis- ing Education Minister Davis on educational TV has recom- mended that mathematics, science and social studies be taught initially. The programs will be broad- cast over the regular facilities of the CBC. Teachers will write the scripts and act as in- structors. The depart ment envisages much greater use of television as a teaching medium in the future. This probably will encompass the operation of a provincial television network on an ultra- high frequency channel in co-op- eration with Ryerson Polytech- nical Institute. Ryerson now has a com- \pletely equipped television stu- dio, but lacks a federal TV broadcasting licence. It also needs a transmitter and a trans- mission tower. Dr. Howard Kerr, principal of Ryerson, said the insiiiute's board of directors will consider at its meeting next month whether to apply to the Board of Broadcast Governors for a broadcast licence. Officials of the audio-visual Educational Television To Be Carried By CBC aids branch of the department have been investigating the use of educational TV in Britain and the United States during the last few years. W. R. Stewart, deputy minis- ter of education and chairman of the Ontario advisory council of educational television, said it was too early to make any com- ment on the likelihood of the de- partment establishing its own TV network.
