Smellie Named President of National Dairy Council
R C Smellie of Russell was elected president at the National Dairy Council of Canada annual meeting in Niagara Falls Ontario. He succeeds W Frank Jones of Toronto who served as council head for two years. Jones urged awareness of dairy subsidies and cautioned about sudden cuts. He cited wartime price supports and predicted higher costs for households if subsidies ended. The dairy council highlighted high milk production since 1918 and a trend toward stronger industry unity and export potential as Canada diversifies its dairy output.
