"Love's greatest gift is remem- brance." â€" Daughter, Wilma OLD ARTEMESIA RESIDENT 90 YEARS OLD SATURDAY ^ 'I 1 4 4 I f X ♦ f A' NOTICE TO OUR PATRONS The following letter has been sent to Ontario cream pvo- ducers by the Ontario Cream Producers' Marketing Board: To AH Cream Producers :- You are familiar with the heavy advertising campaign of the margarine manufacturers. You may n»t be aware that it has resulted in consumption on a basis of 8.5 lbs. per person per year for Canara, while in the U.S.A., where it has been sold for 75 years, it is less than 6 as. per year. It represents a serious threat to the farm income â€" and every pound of the cheap butter substitute eaten makes the situation just so much worse. Farmers across Canada have decided to do something about it. The Dairy Farmers of Canada have undertaken to raise a fund to advertise butter and other dairy products â€" and do our best to get the gospel of butter to all consumers. The milk and cream producers in all .provinces of Canada have agreed to share in tinancing this prugram. This is being done on the truly democratic basis that if EVERYBODY con- tributes, a large .fund cau be raised with a very small contri- bution from lany individual producer. Thus it has been planned to ask all buyers of milk and cream to deduct 1 cent per lb. of butterfat from alJ purchases in the month of June and forward it to the treasurer of the advertising fund to be used to increase the demand for our pro- duct. This, in an indirect way, will help maintain prices at the farm. We are askiny; you, as an individual producer, to back us up with the few cents deduction from your cream cheques dur- ing June. Of course, this is democratic and voluntary, and we are counting on your full co-operation and support in making the program comnletely hiuccessfnh Lei's do iit together. Thank you. « â€"THE ONT.\RIO CREAM PRODUCERS' MARKETING HOARD James Gifford, Chairman Flesherton Creamery THE HOME OF SERVICE & SATISFACTION Phone 66 FLESHF.RTON Angus Avis, Manager Mr. Jos.

Ontario creamery men have .set up a drive for relief funds for the flood, sufferers of Manitoba and the fire vic- tims oif Rimouski and Cabano in Que- bec. Each creamery in Ontario is re- uuested to give at least the equivalent of 50 lbs. of butter or $27.00, and to give it as soon as ipossiible. Speaking in respect to the relief of the Quebec fire victims, R. E. Drope of Harwood president of the Ontario Creamery .As- sociation, said "Ontario cream pro- ducers owe a debt of gratitude to the people of Quebec. If tfhe Quebec gov- ernment had not banned the sale oi margarine in that province, the situ- ation confronting cream producers would ibe still worse. •This is an opportunity." said Mr. Drope, "for Ontario creamerymon tang-ibly to exprgss appreciation of the support Quebec has given all far- mers against the inroads of margar- ine. That we can do it by helping to relieve human suffering is particu- larly gratifying." Speaking of i;he Manitoba flood sufferers, J. McLean, past president of the Ontario Creamery Association, said, that the flooding of over 6,000 acres of farm land in addition to the cities of Winnipeg and St. Boniface, was a national tragedy. "Many far- mers," said Mr. McLean, "will not be able to have a crop this year, and thousands of homes will have to be rebuilt. We are glad that creamery men are doing their little bit to help make tihings a bit easier out there." The Flesherton, Markdale and Bar- â- ^f creameries have already sent their cheques for the Manitoba and Que- bec relief.
