May 20, reipresentat- ives of the Bruce and Grey County Federations of Agriculture and the Grey County Agn'icultural Committee met at Owen Sound for the purpose of discussing the present beef situa- tion. After considerable time spent in discussing the problem in all its aspects the following resolution was moved and carried unanimously: Whereas, the beef producers of the Counties of Grey and Bruce, because of rising costs of production, tIA declared Federal policy of maintain- ing prefsent ceiling prices, the per- mitted advance in price of farm machinery, the scarcity and incerased wages of farm laibor, the widening disparity between the purchase price of farm necessities and the sale price of farm produce and the refusal of large processors to purchase cattle under the existing ceiling prices for dressed meats, all of which have placed, fhe beef producer in a mofet difficult position where losses are inevita51e be it resolved that the above organizations strongly protest the present agricultural policy of the Federal Government, relative to maintaining present ceiling prices and therefore demand immediately: 1. The increase of present ceiling prices on beef to 25c for Red Brand quality, 23c for Blue Brand and 21s for commercial grade. 2. That in the event of no action Being taken by the Federal Govern- ment and the Wartime Priced and Trade 8oard, that a protest meeting be organized by the Ontario Feder- ation of Agriculture to be held at e entral point selected by the official^ of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

With all restrictions removed there is cer- tain ito be increased traffic. Traffic Officers assigned' to work on the roads have an important task ahead of themi if there is to be a dim- inution in the number of fatal and accidents caused by speeding. There is no doubt that with good roads and plenty of gate there is an incentive to step on the gas and speed up, too often with disasterous results- Statistics tehow that the death rate due to motor car accidents is much higher than it ought to be. Only the strictest vigilance on the part of the traffice officers and insistence on the traffic laws being ob^ei-ved to the letter can these things be pre- vented. REV. ELMORE YOUNG, B^, B-Th. Rev.

Saw Foxes Fighting In Field Near Town Consider EstabOshing Of Local Credit Union A couple Fleshearton citizens were recently travelling along No. 10 highway had a ring-side view of two foxes fighting in the fiat field just north of Mr. Fred Brown's residence, one and a half miles north of town- The men say it was a real fight and did not stop when they blew the car horn. When they walked itoward the fighters, the foxes moved off a short ditetance and again continued their doneybrook, reluctant to be scared away from their task by mere man. On approaching closer, the men did scare them sufficiently for them to take to their heels and were soon out of sight- This is certainly a rare occurrence for two foxes to be fight- ing in broad daylight.

The Directors of the Co-operative were appointed provisional directors of the Credit Union, with John Mc- William as treateurer- It will be necessary to secure at least 20 mem- bers with shares of at least $5-00 each before a charter can be secured.
