‘Page 6â€"The Westonâ€"York Times, Thursday, December 16, 1971 . _ Committee post to Humber president Humber College president Gordon Wragg is one of ten Ontarians named to sit on the _ regional _ advisory committee of the federal government‘s new Local Initiatives Program, which makes 100 million dollars available to municipalities, citizen‘s groups and com munity organizations unâ€" dertaking jobâ€"creating projects during the slack winter months. The advisory committee will give advice on the assessment process and procedures to the federal Department of Manpower and Immigration which administers the program. It will also receive progress reports on the _ adâ€" ministration of the program, and will be involved in providing information and making contact with specific projects in its region. There are two other Metro residents on the committee, which includes political, labor and business leaders from across the province. It is the $50 million dollars available to community organizations and citizens‘ groups which most excites the interest of Mr. Wragg. ‘"The really positive part of the program is that it doesn‘t create government ‘make work‘ jobs but en courages community groups to develop useful work projects of their own at the grassroots level,"" Wragg says. in consumer information designed to acquaint buyers with the fact that today‘s leaner, meatier pork is a far different product than was the jowly hog of a few years ago. Ontario‘s pork producers will launch a major program Blake _ Snobelen, _ of Thamesville, chairman of the Ontario Pork Producers‘ Marketing Board, gaid that more than $150,000 will go into the program in 1972 and that everything _ from production of a textbook to product sampling programs are included in the project. His announcement came as pork producers wrapped up the board‘s year end, November 30. Facts about the new pork will be directed through a new information arm, the Ontario Pork Institute, set up by the producers for the purpose. The chairman said the plan would be operated by The Wilcox Public Relations Group Limited, whose food science specialist, Marjorie Elwood, wili be involved in speaking engagements and interview tours. ‘"Through intensive research into consumer attitudes, we now know what is needed here", said Mr. Snobelen. "There are a lot of hangâ€"over opinions about the product which stem from a former generation and former decades. This is true even among professional sources where you would expect a more upâ€"toâ€"date observation of the changes that have taken place", he said. ‘"Much scientific research by government and other most unfair to make comâ€" parisons between these sites and the Weston Road site, because they are no comâ€" parable. Your concern, ‘if the best solution for the future of the Borough of York andâ€"or its citizens are being put forâ€" ward by the present Counâ€" cil", as one of few who can local government in York, and as one who has some knowledge of this subject, I know that this Council is gradually and progressively adopting the best solution for York and its citizens and time will prove it! _« Letters ment are important apâ€" Pork is different Cont. from page 4 Misleading and uninformed ‘‘There are tremendous possibilities _ for _ local organizations and groups wantifig, let‘s say, to extend winter recreation facilities, or provide services for children, old people, or the handicapped. I‘m confident the program will also look favorably on projects aimed at improving subâ€"standard housing, or on providing new. day care programs for children," he adds. ‘"Applicants should bear in mind, hough, that funds will almost certainly not be available to subsidize profitâ€" making enterprises, to provide further employment for people already emâ€" ployed, for individual leisure projects, or for projects which extend beyond May 31," Wragg says. ‘‘The aim is to provide jobs for the winter jobless and at the same time to contribute to the wellâ€"being and im provement of the comâ€" munities in which they are provided." Organizations and groups which receive approval will be required to maintain adequate records of revenue and expenditures, a pay list indicating days worked, and amounts paid, disbursement receipts, and a general record of project activities.

"This has also resulted in the emergence _ of _ highly professional _ producers. We‘re out to tell the story of why pork is different, the theme of the campaign." Executive secretary of he Marketing Board, Jim Boynton, said that the first test of the new program took place at The Royal Winter Fair, where a sampling program was undertaken from an attractive display Materials handed out on that occasion were designed to remind consumers of three of the reasons why pork is different: Pork has been thoroughly tested to show that new lower internal cooking temperatures on a meat thermometer give what some say is a juicier, more flavorful table product. Pork is a perfect partner with almost all fruits, to give wide variety to meal preparation at hoime. Pork products are perfect partners for any table wine including _ champagne, burgundy, rose, claret or sauterne. In serving wine with pork, you can‘t go wrong. Mr. Boynton said the Ontario Pork Institute‘s program during 1972 will make factual information available to the food science and home economics sectors of educational institutions. Emphasis will be given to this phase of the overall program, he said. pendages for the good and welfare and progress of any community. There is no doubt that this is uppermost in both our minds. I am confident that with improved dialogue and better rapport with all members of the Board of Control on the goals and aims for York, and a more objective crossâ€"section of opinion as to the views of its citizens, a broader and fuller understanding will be obtained, and together we can and will succeed. Wishing you, your staff and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
