The Food Barons The Interprovinecial Farm Union Council in a brief to the Royal Commission on price spread of food products has openly charged that a plan is on foot in this country to take over the food industry and concentrate it in In very outspoken lan- guage it asserts that utter ruthlessness is being used to gain control of the .food in- the hands of a few. dustry.

It is not inconceivable that if the ~ charges of the farmers are true and there is little reason to doubt them the government may have to seriously consider whether or not it 'should step into the food industry as a 'whole. Government control or national- ization of the food industry might not only be a good thing, it might even be a necessary thing. } If the inflationary trend confinues and it shows no signs of abatement wage disputes and unemployment may drive the government to take drastic measures. Not all stic measures are bad either for can any one rightly conceive of education being left in the hands of private interests motivated by the profit incentive?

PROBABLY AN ELECTION IN SCUGOG The election pot is beginning to boil, but outside of the cities & towns there does not appear to be any great issues at stake. There's a slight movement of the waters out in Scu- gog Island where a few voters are a little incensed over a proposal . . . . later discarded . to drop some names from the voters' lists. While there was some truth to the story; no one seems to know who struck off the names. Reeve Gerrow was frank- ly puzzled when asked about it. The Scugog Township clerk also denied knowledge of the person responsible. STOUFFVILLE MERCHANTS ASK FOR MORE POLICE PATROL Threé businessmen representing the local Businessmen's Association, Messrs. Cec. Hendricks, M. E. Watts and Harold Spofford attended the re- gular meeting of Stouffville Munici- pal Council on Thursday, evening and asked that consideration be given to more extensive police patrol during the night hours. Mr. Hendricks said that the mer- chants felt that increased vigil was needed especially during the Christ- mas period when inventories are high and suggested that the local police hours could be altered to provide for more patrol at night. He reminded council that there had already been three robberies this year. Councillor Farr agreed that mer- chants were very vulnerable at this time of the year. ital Board to cover the cost of indi- gent patients from Pickering Town- ship.

The Buffalo Management informed Hassard that they would permit him to make the trip if he agreed to report to the "Bison" camp on Dec. 1st, af- ter he returned. He would not agree to these terms. Bob was suspended by the Buffalo brass when he failed to report to them in September. RESIDENTS PETITION AGAINST PROPOSED AIR FIELD AT LOCUST HILL The proposed flying field at Locust Hill received a setback last Monday when Markham Twp. Council was presented with a petition signed by owners of adjoining farms, objecting to the establishment of the field, It as noted that the petition contained a number of names which had form- erly appeared on a petition approv- ing the field. In answer to this fact, Mr. Ken- nedy, who presented the petition said that "after some consideration. the owners had changed their minds which wag their privilege.

And the whole purpose of this columa is to bring before you some of the interesting things that are happen- ing week by week in our three little Churches. And the same could be written about most of the Churches m our area. And did we ever stop to think how co-operative and gener- ous the Press is, in printing and cir- culating all the information we give them about the Church? Did you ever think how drab the Sabbath would be if all the Churches amd Sun- day Schools were closed? It might Le true that we ourselves may not go; but we wouldn't like to sce every- one doing the same; because in that case, there wouldn't be any church nor Sunday School. And did you think how easy it is to make our excusss to absent ourselves on the slightest pre- text? We had a lovely gathering of child- ren at our Rally Day Service on Sun- day at Seugog "Grace". Our Secre- tary Nottie Aldred sent out about 40 cards inviting all our children and par- ents to come. And we must gay, that it was a lovely Service. Our Sup. Ceeil Fralick conducted the Service with .the help of Bonnie Eden who read the Lesson, and Joan Aldred who told the Story. The Minister's mes- sage was in the form of -a Story-- "The Black Madonna." The Church Auditorium was beautifully decorated with-two-baskets of flowers presented by Mrs. Edna McLaren, and could have been so easily filled to overflow- ing a report from these promoters FA Af ' go | more help is on the way, as Gerry sang very sweetly, with Bonnie Jef- frey at the. piano. There were so many who said to themselves: "Oh! the Service is for the children, and we have no children so we don't have to go." We missed you friends. Our congregation at Manchester is grow- ing. Who knows! Manchester Church may yet be filled. This will he another busy and inter- esting week. Marion Carter, Joan Al- dred and Florence Fralick are doing a fine work with the younger girls.
