The merging of operations of the Woodbridge & Vaughan Conipany with the Bell Com- pany took pace at the closé of busi- ness on December 31st. \ C. E. Blosdale, formerly Bell Tele- phone manager. at Newmarket who has had over 24 years' experience in the telephone businéss is now lopated .in Markham where he has taken over supervision of the offices of the former Woodbridge & Vaughan Company. The eleven exchanges affected are: Ajax, Brooklin,: Claremont, King, Maple; Markham, Pickering, Schom- berg, Unionville, Uxbridge and Wood- bridge. In addition, the Bell Com- pany has taken over the rural tele- phone lines formerly operated by the Woodbridge &. Vaughan Company and served through the Bell's exchanges at Aurora, Port Perry and Tottenham. All employees of the Woodbridge & Vaughan Company have been offered employment in the Bell organization, Letters are being mailed to all those who 'have applied for telephone ser: vice, but whose applications had not been filled at the time of the merger, asking them if they still want, service and assuring them that their requests will be met at the earliest possible date. The new local rates-are the same as Bell rates in effect in other parts of Ontario and Quebec for exchanges or groups of exchanges having equiva- lent numbers of telephones in" the local calling area.

McArthur, of the Montreal Milk Producers' Association said milk problems were much the same here as those of his own market only they had taken a step toward bettering condi- tions referred to the manufacturing plant which they control. He said this proved an excellent bargaining power with the distributor, : Several resolutions were presented. Of particular interest to members of this district was one presented by the Toronto Association passed at the an- nual Convention in December, by the efforts of Mr, Lishman and Mr. Von Pilis. It read in part: "Be it resolved that this association request the On- tario Government to legislate enforc- ing the milk distributors to install and use primomatic weighing 'equipment | 2 which also draws samples automatic- ally. This was carried, The first resolution on the agenda went back to the early thirties when the govern- ment of the day saw fit to enact con- trols and appointed the Milk Control Board to administer same. Most of these controls have since been res- cinded. The resolution called for the return of former price setting powers to the Milk Control Board. Another resolution passed was: Re- solved that we, the Whole Milk Pro- ducers' of Ontario, assembled in an- nual meeting fully endorse the idea of co-operative trucking and instruct our board of directors to give full support and if necessary, legal -as- sistance, to all groups of producers endeavouring to organize a new, or expand, an existing ' co-operative.

The first day -of the 30th Ontario Older Boys" Parliament which was held from "December 26th to the 30th, Ahead of "us lay five days which | will always remember as the most en- joyable " purt of my youth. Being chosen "to represent South Ontario constituency was -an honour and a privilege which falls to only a few boys in this province each year. The pleasant memories of the won- derful fellowship with chaps from all over the province, of the leadership and Christian faith courses, and of the Sessions in Purlinmernt, 1 will cherrish forever, 1 wanted to_be a tie, representa- tive of South Ontalio constituency. This 1 hope 1 achieved. Here are some of the high- lights of the Par- linment, sponsored by the Boys' Work Board of the Ontario Council of Chris- tian Education, directed by Rev. J.

At 2,10 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon we met in general Caucus under the lead- ership of Ross L. Anderson, Chair- man of the Parliament Committee, who set forth the purpose of the Far- liament-- that of challenging as it does Older Boys to higher Christian living, and training the representa- tives -lo-.give effective leadership in local church and community. He em- phasized that .we represented Angli- can, Baptist, Church of Christ, Evan- gelical, Presbyterian and United Churches--these with the Y.M.C.A. support and promote the Parliament.

Carried. This resolution would seem to coincide with the remarks of Col. Kennedy when he said: "The farmer has been educated to look after his- own affairs" and "The more the farmer has to do with -his- own product - before it gets to Ye consumer the better." 4 Mr. Lishman, Director of District 4, was called to the chair to answer questions directed from the floor re- garding Pickering Transport Co- operative. He spoke of the early be- ginning and then lean existence, but it has since raised its cannage to 80.
