In these days of mass media advertising, the impact of signs of one type and another play their part. We have the big flashing ones, the little ones in the window. There are the bill boards that are much more prevalent across the line in the U.S. than in Canada, or so it seems. Then there are the high- way signs which remind motorists to turn right, left, for a curve or an S turn, There are warning signs that say caution or 'other indications of danger. Then there are the informative signs like "'historical site," school, deer crossing, cattle crossing, ete. Near Elk Lake another has been. added to the list and that is '"'moose crossing". Americans are supposed to be the most. advertising conscious of the North American , inhabitants. They believe in advertising and to a lesser~extent--so do Canadians. We think that the Americans have been' sold on the authenticity of Canadian advertising, and take it as gospel. At least two of them do anyway. The story is told of two Ameri- can moose hunters who came to "moose crossing'? near Elk Lake, and stopped. They climbed out of their car and sat on a pile of gravel not too far from the sign. For about two hours they "|kept up their Vigil, and sure en- *:|ough a cow moose crossed the ~|highway at the sign. their moose. And while the moose hunters :|are gradually getting back to a normal life, or some of them at least, there. are others that are just. starting, out. We have often heard hunters kidding about "'hayv- ing one tied up" but it has been eft to Fred Maille to verify the truth of the statement.

Ocean freight e milk is being distributed through Deficiency Payments To Support Hog Price The Hon. Douglas S. Harkness, Minister of Agriculture, advised the House of Commons last March 23 that the method of supporting the price of hogs under the Stabil- ization Act would be changed later in the year, from that of support ' by purchase to support by means of deficiency payments. The Minister today announced that the "deficiency payment" program for providing price sup- port for hogs will go into effect January 11, 1960, and the Feder- al Government will discontinue the present "'offer to purchase" policy January 9. He 'said the method of support by purchase has resulted in a large increase in hog production, and thus the accumulation of a sur- plus amount of pork, which it is becoming increasingly difficult to dispose of. The change to support by deficiency payments, with a quota on the amount of produc- tion on which each producer will be paid, is designed to bring pro- duction into line with the amount of pork which can be marketed. Under the deficiency payment @ yan, the quota of 100 hogs, on '"8fh a producer may collect de- 'See ficiency payments, will mean that at least 85 per cent to 90 per cent of farmers will, on the average, receive the same price for their A and B hogs as they are guaran- teed under the present purchase method. These farmers produce 70 per cent of the hogs. Under this deficiency payment method of support, the market price of hogs will be determined by the ordinary laws of supply and demand. When the price is be- low the support level the consumer will secure the advantage of the subsidy paid, through lower pric- es for pork. : : The deficiency payment will be the amount by which the national average market price calculated on the marketing year beginning January 11, 1960, falls below the support price which is equivalent to $23.65 per hundred .. pounds, warm dressed weight from Grade A carcasses at Toronto. Basis of the support program by means of deficiency payment: 1. Deficiency payments to any one producer during a 12-month period will be limited to total mar- ketings of 100 Grade A-and Grade B quality hogs. 2. To be eligible for payment, producers must market their hogs through Federal inspected and ap- proved grading establishments. 3. The Board will establish a national average market price cal- culated to be equivalent to 'the support price of $23.65 per hundred- weight at Toronto and this will be used in determining the amount of payment: = : : 4.

Payments will be calculated on an annual basis, but considera- tion will be given to making an interim payment if the average market price falls substantially be- low the support price during the period. 6. Payments will-be made only to registered hog producers, and re- gistration will be limited to bona fide farmers, exclusive of commer- cial organizations.

Sure you have to go back a long ways for the time--only 35 years ago. Bonspiels are starting for the current season. Announcements of two of them have come to our desk, before the season has really started to get under way. The first is the opening 'spiel at Kapuskas- ing to be held on November 6, 7 and 8. Sure we know winter comes a little earlier in Kap than it does down south at New Liskeard and any of the boys who can take in this opener will have the advan- tage of not having thrown a rock in the current season. The next 'spiel that is "on tap" is the Men's International at Oakville. This year it will be held on December 1 to 5. This is the 'spiel that the writer almost started for last year--when it was discovered that it had been over for a week and a mention of the date is made so that members of the Tri-town clubs will not let the date slip by this year without at least a reminder. Ice-making in both New Liskeard and Haileybury Clubs will get un- der way within the next few days with curling scheduled to. start about November 15. Child Drowned In O'Brien Pond EEK LAKE -- Funeral services for Kenneth Giles were held in the Elk Lake United Church on Satur- day, October 24, at 2.30 p.m. with Mr. Roy McGrath officiating. In- terment was in the family plot in the Elk Lake Cemetery. Kenneth Giles, five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Giles of Sis- coe Metals, O'Brien, Ontario, was drowned Thursday afternoon when he ventured out on thin ice on a small pond some 200 yards from his home on the Siscoe Metals Mine property. His two sister, Katherine, who went to his rescue also fell through the ice. Both children were taken from the water by nearby office workers after their three year old sister, Susan who was with them al- erted a nearby neighbour. After 35 minutes of artificial respiration, Katherine was revived and rushed to the Misericordia Hospital, Haileybury, where she is reported: in satisfactory condi- tion. Efforts were continued for some five hours to revive Kenneth with- out success, when he was pro- nounced dead by Dr. G. W. Gib- bons of Englehart. Kenneth is survived by his par- ents, five sisters, Wilma, Donna, Katherine, Susan and Cindy and one brother Steven, all of O'Brien, Ontario. : Spanish Sporting Tastes Bullfights are not the only popular sporting events in Spain, for soccer has many followers, golf and tennis are played a lot and pelota - a combination of handball and tennis - is well es- tablished.
