Rural municipalities urged to co operate on planning
March 8 1967 Acton Ontario minister J W Spooner told an Ontario Federation of Agriculture conference that rural municipalities must work with planners to curb private development abuse. He favored longer assessment periods and flexible planning guidelines while stressing urban growth must be guided by location and conditions. Over 140 attendees from across the province discussed assessment taxation and land use. Roy Coulter and Jack Ferguson highlighted shifts toward equity, province wide planning, and capital gains tax as key issues for farmers.

Talking Turkey Consumer Demand Shapes Ontario Turkey Trade
In 1966 Canadians averaged at least 10 pounds of turkey per person, roughly double the 1956 figure, with Ontario and Quebec embracing lighter 8 to 12 pound birds. Mervin S. Mitchell of the Poultry Division says producers must study consumer needs to sustain demand, balancing growth with desirable fat and flesh while avoiding icy or bloated carcasses. He notes institutions prefer larger birds over 8 to 12 pounds and emphasizes quality in processing and packaging to keep turkey a favorite.
