NBWS Part of School Act Under Fixe At Orono Ratepayers Meeting Altbougb the annual scbeol meeting held Dec. 3lst was net largely attended, it proved te be most interesting. Prof. C. B. Sis- sons was appointed chairman and Mrs. J. R. Cooper, secretary. R. R. Waddell presented the Trustees' report. The report was excellent, showing 85% success- ful in examinations; the hiring of an additional teacher; a favorable report from the Inspecter; the in- troduction of religieus education mbt the public school; redecora- tion of tbree rooms and other îm- provements; beautifying of the grounds; and a splendid financial report. Mm. Waddell also men- tioned that the board had con- sidered the question of an outside secretary and could find no good reason for changing. Financial report presented by Mm. Waddell showed receipts, in- cluding a balance on hand fromn 1940, of $19,046.23; and a balance on hand for next year of $10,- 291.96, of wbich $9,991.96 is in the bank and $300 as an outstanding cheque. The report also showed teachers' salaries te be $7,100; 159 pupils to be enrolled; the as- sessed value of S. S. No. 12 to be $236,150 as compared with $237,- 800 last year; the county school rate 11.7 milîs, township rate 6.9 milîs, and trustee levy 12 milîs. Salaries payable te the teachers on engagements Sept. lst, 1941, 10 Aug. 3lst, 1942: R. C. Rosborough, B.S.A. $2,500.00; Miss Florence M. L. Gray, B.A., $1,200.00; Miss Alice Basnett, B.A., $1,200.00; Miss Kate Foster, $1,000.00; Miss Marjorie E. McDowell, $85000; Miss Editb M. Trull, $850.00. Prof. Sissons asked wby sucb a big balance was carried, and was told that most of the grants came in the last few weeks. Miscellaneous business brougbt up the question of the board pay- ing for Orono pupils attending other schools. Mr. Waddell ex- plained that Bowmanville board had been refused grants on Orono pupils attending there last year and bad accordingly billed Orono hoard. "We have net paid yet," said Mr. Waddell. "We tbougbt we would wait and see wbat you ratepayers thougbt." Apparently they thought plenty for a rapid f ire of condemnation was hurled against those responsible for the law. No one blamed Bowmanville board, as it was thougbt only right tbey should be paid-but by the counties counicil or the par- ents and not by Orono bourd. "It's absurd," said Prof. Sissons, "that interpretation means that the schools bave te teach evemytbing or nothing." The case of one boy who failed here the year before and could net be taught the same subi ects that year was aIse mentioned and il was pointed out that if each student worked be or she would gel the subjecîs that year andl the remainder the next, and would not then bave to go te Bowmanville. Mrs. Cooper suggested that tbe malter be brought to the atten- tion of the OEA., but others stated that the OEA. was chiefly run by the schools who would benefit by the law remaining in force. Prof. Sissons was appointed 10 interview the Deputy Midister of Education regarding tbe malter. The malter of more insurance was shelved. Prof. Sissons was asked te ex- plain more about tbe township school area idea. He pointed out that there is only 44 % of the attendance of 50 years ugo at present, and tbe average atten- dance of scbools is 13 with tbe cost oner Dupil being $72 (as com- oared witb Orono's $48) per day. He deul with the malter under the headings of: equalization of assessment, lower cost, and great- er efficiency. The secretary was granted $100 salary for 1942.

Try itl1 The Improved Wey New Rule Prohibits Slaughtering 0f Lightweight Hogs An announcement of the Bacon Board made on December 8, stat- ed thal on and afler December 15, experting packers will net be permitted te slaugbter bogs pro- ducing carcasses weighing less than 130 Deunds. The number of bogs outside expert weights, as previeusly pointed eut, are sub- stantially in excess of the need fer domestic consumption. The mujority of hogs unsuitable for expert are lightweight bogs, and packers ecently increased the discount on B2 Grade carcasses weighing from 125 10 135 pounds 10 Sl.50 and $2 per hog. Witb tbe coming mbt effect on December 15 ef the Board's order goveroing tbe slaugbler of ligbt- weigbt bogs and discount on tbe B2 grade carcasses returned 1 ts former level. Tbe purpose of the latest equirement, the Board staled, is 10 reduce the number of ligbtweigbt bogs and make more requimed weigbts available te f ili the British contract for 600,000,- 0001b. by Octoher, 1942. It should resuit in lightweight hogs being kept back for fumîber feeding, and when mamketed at heavier [weiglits substanlially increase the total quantity available for ex- expert. The minimum weight of 130 pounds, warm dressed camcass weigbt, is equivalent te a live hog weight of appreximateîy 175 pounds. The Board urges produc- ers te get their bogs up te a mini- mum of 180 pounds alive, se as le insure carcasses of a minimum of 130 pounds. Truckers, shippers, drovers cao give the Board valu- able coopemation ini the direction mrequired, by advising farmers concerning the weight of Iheir bogs and, in se far as possible te bave light hogs placed for further feeding ather than forwamd themn te packing plants or stockyards.ý It should be made clear that while Ibis order probibits the slaugbter of bogs weigbing 130 pounds dmessed weigbt by expert- ing packems, il dees not interfere with the censignment of ligbt bogs te stockyards or elsewbere fer slaugbter by domestie puekers or for sale as feeders. The best weigbt fer delivery te packers is around 195-200 lbs. VITAL STATISTICS FOR CLARKE SHOW 10 BORN, 26 DIED Vital statistics for Clarke Town- ship duinig the year 1941.

The Federal Prices and Trade Board has, so far as we can judge by recent events, relegated the Ontario body to the sidelines for the duration. Pro- ducers and distributors. in the Toronto milksbed have for some time agreed to agree as the best means of bettering their mutual ioterests. And the Milk Board, for some time has been sympa- thetic to their agreements, which have flot been unfair to consum- ers. We are indebted to Canada's premier dairy house organ, the Ontario Milk Producer, for light on this question. In its December issue it says: 'Now, the orders are that the decisions of the Milk Control Board are flot final, but must be submitted to the Federal Prices and Trade Board. Without aoy Boards, a new price agreement would have been put loto ettect on September 21, in the Toronto market. The agree- ment was under consideration in Toronto until about October 8th, was then submitted to Ottawa v.here. for one reason or another, it is still being held. On November 12 a dairy dele- galion coosisting of breed repre- sentatives and of representatives of milk producers from Ontario and Quebec visited Ottawa to find out if possible the reasons for the delay. On November 25 a second delegation followed. It was learn- ed that all decisions were being postponed until December 1. On the first occasion the dele- gation met Hon. Mr. Gardiner with tbree members of bis staff. A friendly two-hour conference followed, in which much illumin- dhilg information was given, and received. So far as the delegation was concerned, the information recejved related to price regula- tion, and has since been made public. The second delegation met Mr. Taggart, who under the Wartime Prices Board bas charge of the prices of farrn pmoducîs. Mr. Tag- gart was especially anxious to secure exact information about the supply of farm labor, the de- pletion of farm stock, and the probability of a shortage in farm production. On botb occasions Mm. W. E. Haskins. secretary of the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture, accompanied the delegation." AIl of which bears out points wbich a prominent dairyman tried to make wben visited by metro- politan reporters in their recent tour of Durham County. Business is like a wheelbarrow. It stands still iinless you lift it and push. - M Review of the War 1939 On Sept. 1 Hitler invaded Po- land, and two days later France and Britain declared war on Ger- many.
