HOW MANY VARIETIES of salt and pepper shakers are there? Mrs. A. W. Moore, Main St.,
Seaforth, has proof that they come in at least 525 different designs. A hobby, which started many
years ago, in fact Mrs. Moore .isn't sure how Iong ago, has resulted in her collecting about 525
different pairsof shakers. She is quick to point out that, in that number, there are no two pairs the
same. Here, she proudly displays some of her many curios, that she has accumulated over the years.
Where do they come from? Mrs. Moore told The Expositor Wednesday she has some from Eng-
land, Mexico, the Pacific Coast, Alabama, Disneyland, Tennesseeand Vancouver, plus many other
spots. They are sent or brought, she said, by her many friends and relatives who have heard of
her collecting hobby, as well as from friends travelling to points throughout North America. (Ex-

rea Forums Ask
ho Should Pay
Farm Forums across Canada
delved into the problem of Rural
Services at their Monday sessions.
The question period centred on,
"Who Should Pay?"
Prior to the question period, the
radio broadcast discussed the pres-
ent assessment system, ways to
supplement the property tax, and
other sources of taxation revenue,
Locally, two forums reported
formation for ',another season.'' In
Hullett, Fireside Farm Forum was
formed, and in Hay Township,

Parr Line Farm Forum have
commenced operation for the
eighth consecutive year. Monday
night the group, met at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Adkins
'for the first 1960-61 meeting.
An anticipated group of 13 fam-
ilies is expected to join this year.
Of these, eight families were or•
iginal members eight years ago.
Discussing rural service, this
forum felt that all services dis-
cussed were in operation'10 years
ago. They felt that the farmer

less of cost.
One service for which the forum
felt farmers were paying to the
benefit of urban groups was
schools. Farmers are assessed on
land holdings for school purposes
and his taxes for educational pur-
poses have been in unfair propor-
tion to property holders in urban
areas, the group agreed.
On changes suggested in taxa-
tion form, the group felt the as-
sessment of farm properties should
be limited to buildings and a
small acreage 'of land, about five
acres.

Huron Wheat
Producers Share
In Payments
Ontario wheat producers will
share a total of $560,574.00 for On-
tario wheat marketed from July 1,
1959, to June 30, 1960. This amount
is equivalent to the 9 cent levy
collected. Individual producer pay-
ments are now being distributed.
In announcing the payment, K.
A. Standing, secretary -manager of
the Ontario Wheat Producers' Mar-
keting Board, said the amount will
be shared by approximately 24,000
producers,
Slightly more than six million
bushels of the 1959 wheat erop
was marketed.
Commenting on the producer
payments, Russell T. Bolton; RR 1,
Dublin, a director of the Wheat
Producers' Board, pointed out that
272,576 bushels of wheat- were
marketed from Huron from 988
growers, The total payment is
$24,531.84.
'From Perth,'82,577 bushels were
marketed from 350 producers at a
payment of $7,431.93.
Under the Ontario Wheat Pro-
ducers' Marketing Plan, a 9 cent
levy is collected by the board
through the dealers on delivery as
a price stabilizing measure. Should
producer sales to dealers become
greater than the market demand,
the dealers may offer the excess
amount to the 'board: The board
is then obligated to purchase the
surplus wheat from the dealers.
Disposal of this wheat is financed
by the 9 cent levy.
Each year, the unused portion
of the levy collected is returned to
the producers who marketed
wheat. Last year the board made
a 5.cent per bushel payment, the
balance of 4 cents per bushewas
absorbed in the cost of market!•hg
three and one-half million bushels
of surplus wheat,

Recall Early Grants Aided
Education in Huron County
The educational system, as it
existed a century ago in„ Upper
Canada, was described by Dr. G.
E. Hall, president and vice.chan-
cejlor of the University of Western
Ontario, in Goderich Thursday
night.
Dr. Hall was addressing the
more than 300 who attended the
annual Huron County warden's
banquet at which John Durnin,
reeve of West Wawanosh and 1$60
warden, was host
In 1859, Dr. Hall said, the total
of government grants for educa-
tion in Huron was $4,845, less than
the, salarryy of 'One experienced high
selt061 Weller today. The.gtiveriv
ment grant to 'Huron, 101 years
ago, when it was divided to the
townships, provided $197 for
schools in FIullett, $311 for McKi-
lop, $252 for Grey, $168 forMorris.
A letter written by al" Huron
teacher in 1860; said Dr. Hall, gives
an insight to conditions in the
teaching profession at that time.
The teacher wrote that the only
part of her salary that she receiv.
ed in cash'was the $80 per annum
provided by the government grant.
"The rest was in kind, and hard
to collect."
Theories of education were be-
ing propounded more than a cen-
tory ago, Dr. Hall observed. He
quoted from the tipper Canada
Journal of Education of 1849, por-
tions of an article on the need for
qualified teachers. The writer of
the article held thatit was better
to pay $40 a month for a good
teacher, than be satisfied with a
poor teacher at $10 a month.
Master of ceremonies for the
banquet: held in the new wing of
North Street United Church at
Goderich, was William Jewitt, for.
mer reeve of Hullett, who was
warden in 1959.
