The Huron Expositor, 1960-11-17, Page 2HURON NXPOSiTOR, SF.,AAQRTH, ONT., NOV. 17, 1960 HURON COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS By CARD. HEMINGWAY Farm Forum has begun for the 196041 season and reports have tl already arrived at this office. Ap- ,,parentiy the first subject, "Rural Services: Why Should Pay?" was of top interest. According to the reports, rural services are good and are appreci- ated and the ratepayers are will- ing' to pay for these. However, school taxation still seems to be a vexing problem. School taxes do take a very large portion of our tax dollar and amount to a huge total- We can hardly say that the bill for education is too high when we are told that more money is spent on cosmetics than on educa- tion; also more is spent. on alco- holic beverages than on all educa- tion. From the Forum reports. it seems that it is a portion of school tax that is charged against the land that is in need of revision. Rest assured that your suggestions will be forwarded to those in auth- ority. Also with regard to education, quite some time ago a joint reso- lution from the County Women's Institutes and the Federation of Agriculture was forwarded to the County Council, suggesting that a county vocational school be set up.

HAROLD CONNELL Phone 767-W or 264—SEAFORTH As „a result of this, the County Educational Committee called in the high school principals and re- presentatives from the county high school boards to a meeting to dis- cuss the feasibility of such a school. Advantages and difficul- ties were pointed out and our County Educational Committee is gathering more information on the proposition. In speaking to some of the delegates to the recent OFA annual meeting in Toronto, I was given to understand that something of this sort is already in operation in the Ottawa area, so perhaps we can get some guidance from them. With the Minister of Agriculture's announcement that the Ontario Government intends to exert more control over the sale of hogs, I was told of a letter appearing" in one of the papers where a lady was urging the Government to pre- vent the producers from "nation- alizing" the sale of food. Isn't that confusing? One could imagine from recent statements that the sale of hogs, at least, may be "nationalized" on a provincial basis, but this will be by the Government—certainly not by the producers. This certainly points out the need for all of us to be better informed before we speak. There are vast quantities of information available on a great many subjects, One subject of vital interest to all farm- ers in general, and to hog produc- ers in particular, is the question of the organization of producers pro- cessing plants. Information is available; let us all make sure that we know the facts before we approve or condemn. 1f you' wish to be perfect, fol- low the advice you give to others. „..

SEEN IN THE COUNTY PA -PERS Changes Ownership Last Tuesday, Nov. 1, the local dairy changed ownership when Mr. Gustov Kurnoth took over the bus- iness from Mr. Donald Howes. Mr. Kurnoth comes here from Toron- to. He is well qualified to take. over the dairy, having 35 years' experience in the business.

He also has his Master's Degree, received in his homeland, Germany, where he lived until sev- en years ago when he came to Canada"—Blyth Standard. Prank Causes Injury A Hallowe'en trick here may well have cost the life of the per- son on whom it was played. The horse rake of Tom Rivett was dumped into the creek by prank. sters. Although he managed to en- list some help to get the rake out of the creek, he suffered a mean mishap in the operation. The rope attached to the tractor pulling out the rake broke" This sent Tom Riv- ett falling to the ground so hard it injured him and caused temporary heart trouble. Bill McWhinney rushed him to the office of Dr. H. A. S. Vokes for treatment.— Goderich Signal -Star. Discuss Fire Problems Fire protection was a big issue at the monthly meeting of the Hay• Township council meeting on Mon- day afternoon in the council cham- bers of the Township Hall. The council had received several let- ters asking for increased fees for fire service, and also a letter from cottage owners at Sharrow Subdi- vision, along the lake, asking what fire protection they had at their cottages, After considerable dis- cussion, the council decided to seek a meeting with the directors of the Hay Mutual Fire Insurance Company to discuss the matter of fire protection and standby fees. In connection with the cottage• owners, the clerk was instructed to advice them that the township has agreements with Zurich and Dashwood fire departments, and that, in case of fire, either brigade should be called.—Zurich Citizens News. Reduce Rent Failure to rent the • 12 new homes on John Street at the an- nounced rate of $73.50, apparently has persuaded the Department of Planning and Development to change the way in which the ren- tal rate of these homes is set. Un- til last week, this Federal -Provin- cial -Municipal housing project was based on a full recovery program. That is, the rent was set so as to recover over the next 50 years the full cost of the entire project, in- cluding services, repairs, etc. This has now been changed to a sub- sidized program. Rents will be based on the ability of the renter to pay. For instance: if a family of four, the breadwinner takes home $325 a month, then his rent for one of these units will be $72" If net income is $250 per month, then the rent is only $54; and a $200 a month net income would mean only a $42 a month rental. --Clinton News -Record, Safety is as simple as ABC—AI- way Be Careful!

THE TRUCKS THAT RIDE SMOOTHER, WORN HARDER, LAST LONGER! Just a year ago, Chevy came up with a torsion bar independent front suspension and has already put some 300,000 Chevrolet trucks with it out on jobs. The ride that results from Chevy's suspension design is making life a lot 'easier for drivers. (Just ask them!) It's taking better care of loads, the fragile kind that used to cost somebody money if they were bounced around, Chevy's ride also enables truck owners to revise their buying habits and work their trucks longer before they trade. This follows naturally: The trucks take less of a beating. There's less stress on sheet metal. Less abuse to tires. Less pounding to wear out parts before their time. The upshot of it is you either save mon+sy or •earn more of 'it, or both. And you couldn't ask a truck to do more than that. See your deafer. 11 OHEVROLET ORDINARY I -BEAM FRONT AXLE.
