If you have Dl, D2, D3 and D4 Grades sold e Farm Tax through community auctions, ram, you can public stockvards or direct to ews packing plants provided satis- factor proof of slaughter is establ shed. Payment will be on a live weight per hundred basis. The support price level will be $23.21 per hundred weight. This represents 100 percent of the five year weighted average price for Di, D2, D3 and D4 cows marketed through publie stockyards, at Toronto, Winni- peg and Calgary. The produ- cer's deficiency payment will be based on the difference between the weighted average price of cows so d at Toronto, Winni e and Calgary for the perio the program and the support price of $23.21. Produ- cers should not interpret the $23.21 support price as a guaranteed mminimum price per animal, since the rate of payment will be the same on all eligible cows, ie. the difference between the weigh- ted average price for the period on the support level. Farmers are advised to obtain the best possible price for their cows. The Stabilization Program will be administered by making payments direct to producers. The claimant must provide a statement, certifying the sizeofis herd at the time of application for payment. The statement must be signed by the owner and certified by either provincial or federal government agricultural offi- cer. Claims must be supported by a sales invoice from a buyer giving the type of animal, number of animals live weight and price per pound. Supporting documents accompanying the claim must show that animals were sold for slaughter. The Agricultural Stabiliza- tion Board will make pay- ments on cows marketed between November 16, 1974 and April 30, 1975 on the following basis: (a) For the period November 16, 1974 to December 13, 1974, herd owners can claim on all cows marketed. (b) For the period December 14, 1974 to April 30, 1975, a producer may claim on 2 percent on his certified cow herd per month to a maximum 5 percent of his herd in the period December 14, 1974 to April 30, 1975. Irrespective of herd size, a producer is eligible to claim on two cows during the period December 14, 1974 to April 30, 1975. Claims for cows marketed in the period November 16 to December 13, 1974 and De- cember 14, 1974 to April 30, 1975 will be submitted after April 30, 1975, when the weighted average cow price on all cows marketed at Toronto, Winnipeg and Cal- gary public stockyards bas been determined. At that time, claim forms will be provided through acking plants, public stoc yards, sales barns, agricultural re- presentative offices and offices of the livestock division of the Federal Department of Agriculture. We do want to stress that aplication forms are not avaia le and produ- cers can not make application for subsidy at this time. Subsidy will only be paid once the weighted average of all cows sold is determined. This means that if the weighted average of all cows sold in the period of the program comes out to be $23.21 which is the same as the support price level bas been established, there will be no subsidy payment regardless of the price you receive for cows that you sold out of your individual herd. If, on the other hand, the weighted average of all cows sold turns out to be $20.21 for the period of the program, there will a subsidy of $3.00 a hundred weight paid to all producers who marketed ani- mals during the period and who meet the qualifications of the program.

A Funny Thing HOpp4 The Way By Jean Ahlvik There's a line in Th Parallax View (the recen Warren Beatty film) wher the suitably hard-nosed edito tells his eager reporter "You job is to report the news no make it."

Now, I thiqk a lot of these boys but they also want to play hockey, and when their hock- ey franchise was put on their heads, they were told these peop le that had resigned would do just that, if they did not get the coach back. So, the coach is back in five minutes, later the other three were back on the executive. And b the way, the boys were tod all the executive were against them and for the coach. I know different. May- be the seven were, but there are more than seven on the Jr. C executive. Now, of all things I don't know how a coach or execu- tive could think a coach would have the discipline or respect of the team after this, when they didn't have it before. I think of the crowds of fine eople that come to see these oys play, I don't think they wouid let the franchise go on the team either. I believe there are coaches, and man- agers right in this town of Bowmanville, that could do the job if they resigned and meant it. And how could they have a B Club when they can't handle a C Club. P.S. - Ask the general manager and coach where the big No. 4 player is and why he is not playing? Is he not as good as No. 15. I was asked to keep this letter out of the paper until the executive had a meeting Jan. 19th to see if they could get me back in as an executive member but was voted down 8-5. I would like to know after all these years what is wrong with me now.

I think a lot of people in the town of Bowmanville and district, should know a bit of how the Junior C Hockey Executive treats hockey play- ers who they,pay to see. On Sunday, Dec. 8,1974, the executive decided to have a meeting to discuss why I thought the coach was not capable of coaching. They decided that I was wrong, just because so many boys of Bowmanville club were quit- ting and managers and train- ers resigning because of the coaching. So, I was out of a job, managing this team, ecause of a vote of 7-4, with only part of executive mem- bers there. Then the executive decided to have a meeting with the team at 7 o'clock, Monda evening, Dec. 9th, which I caîl Jungle Court, because of the way they went at the manager the day before. What chance would the young men have or feel like? They had all the boys in one big room, the executive went out in the hallway. I guess they wanted them to think things over. But they didn't have much time to think things over for one of the executive came back in the room and told the boys they had only five minutes to make a decision, that the General Manager had resigned and the secretary, treasurer, the coach and of course the President of the Junior C Club, and if they did not play hockey for the coach, they would take their hockey franchise away from them. I know how much these boys want to play hockey because at this time, they are in second place, with their own hockey ability not the coaches ability tions about the stabilization program for cows, please contact our office and we will try to answer any questions for you. 1 $6,49 1 $8.999
