W. H. C. Marsh; general manager of the NODA, is asking for as many donations as possible from growers in the area. The exhibit comprises class 904 vegetables, class 906 potatoes, and class 908 turnips. In each class commercial packages are . used which may contain the name of the grower, their brand names and addresses etc. In each class education and pro- motion material going along with the exhibit is valued at 20 per- cent of the total marks. In the potato class, packaging design, originality, commercial and pro- motional features count for a tot- al of 50 per cent. The NODA's ef- fort in this regard is to promote |' northern produce, and last year} the exhibits gained a lot of points for this feature. : Mr. Marsh would-like to hear as soon as possible from any northern grower who can assist in providing good exhibits. . The staging of this exhibit is a large affair and relies to a great extent upon the co-operation of many individuals. N.O.D.A. is not able to finance the- whole project and has received considerable sup- port from people like the O.N.R., Northern Ontario Natural Gas Company and several Chambers of Commerce and Industrial Com- mittees throughout the region. Last year N.O.D.A. was fortunate in winning three cash prizes which were used to help pay off the cost of the exhibit. The display last year was created by Heinz Gaugel a North Bay professional artist who produced something quite out of the usual as far as commercial agriculture exhibits at the Royal were concerned. Mr. Gaugel is going to work for N.O.D.A. again this year. Ken Hunter, Supervising Inspec- tor of the Fruit and Vegetable In- spection Branch, Department of Agriculture and his two assistants, Mike Bailey at the New Liskeard office and Don Foote at the Sud- bury office are going to look after the collection of the produce for N:O.D.A. again this year.
