A man called their office after seeing his pic- ture saying "he had a nice smile and looked like a good person to do business with'. George got the policy but the Chamber is still trying to get their commission. Don't forget to buckle-up and slow down this week. Police began enforcing two new laws February 1st and now instead of warnings; fines will be issued to of- fenders. The laws, although many do not like them, are aimed at saving lives...so you may as well live with them. Seat belts are now mandatory and speed limits on many roads have been reduced. Notice The STAR would like to announce that com- mencing today, the office will close at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The 6:00 p.m. closing on both Monday and Tuesday will remain the same. We are doing this because of the small amount of traffic into the office between the hours of 5 and 6 during the week. We hope this will not inconvenience any of our valued customers. BY ENOUGH INSURANCE? your policies up- dated. We'll be glad to check them for you.

The guest speakers on the __. afternoon program were Dr. Larry Martin, Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Guelph, and Mr. Richard Haack, a graduate student in the same department. Dr. Mar- tin and Mr. Haack are near- ing the completion of a beef marketing study which was undertaken at the request of the Provincial Beef Im- provement Association. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects that various controls might have on the beef industry such as marketing quotas, import restrictions, regional con- trols within Canada, etc. The base period for the study was the 10 years from 1964 to 1974, and when var- ious control measures were applied to the information taken from the base period, the effects of these controls were measured by com- puter. As a.result of the work that has been done to date, none of the control measures applied, had very little effect on the selling price. The study is to con- tinue and a full report of the findings will be presented at the 0.B.I.A. annual meeting, which will be held at the Skyline Hotel, Toronto, on February 26th and 27th. The speakers were introduced by Gus Lask, and thanked, on behalf of the meeting by Glen Squires. : Mr. Gus Lask, County Director on the Provincial Association, outlined the activities of the Provincial Board during the past year.
