Review of Beef Floor
Price Requested
ii....10.1••••••••11
Directors of Huron County
Federation of Agriculture, meet-
ing in Clinton last week, with R.
S. McKercher, R.R. 1, Dublin, pre-
siding, heard reports from dele-
gates who attended the annual
meeting of the Co-Operators' In-
surance Association in Toronto.
The meeting went on record as
requesting the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture to ask that the
floor prices set for beef be re-
viewed at the first of May, for
the months of July and August.
It was felt by the directors
that the short term floor price as
currently set could have harmful
effect for the farmers who were
interested in holding their cattle
on the farm until later in the
summer.

red. Thus Mrs. Johnston's grand-
mother proceeded with her fam-
ily to London, later to settle at
Varna. However, it was her
father who blazed the trail from
London to Varna. Here in this
vicinity ethe five' brothers each
received a hundred acres of Can-
ada Company land.
Her First Home
Memories of her first home, as
a very small girl, recall a log
house, hewed from cedar logs, in
the wilderness of Stanley Town-
ship. But not for long. Soon all
the brothers built large frame'
homes on their properties, and
the land was cleared throughout
the district, with roads built. Her
father cleared the track from
Brucefield to Bayfield and built
the road.
At the Varna Public School, in
the early days, the attendance
was very high, each teacher hay-
and carriage, the first and only
ene around for miles, being bor-
rowed by people who came great
distances to use it for weddings.
Her father planted the first fruit
orchard in the township, and lat-
er shipped fruit to England in
barrels.
The Good Old Days
Mrs. Johnston's husband took
part in township council affairs
in Goderich Township for years,
having served on the council.
"People had much better times,
certainly more enjoyable, in those
days," she remarked, blaming the
modern. form of transportation,
the car, for decrease in "home-
made" entertainment.
Still spry and in excellent
health, this remarkable woman,
who is young in every way ex-
cept her years, thoroughly enjoys
living. She reads not only the
various newspapers, but chooses
books of poetry, with Sir Walter
Scott and Bobby Burns as her
favorites. A member of St. James
Church, Middleton, she attends
regularly when the weather is
suitable.
The secret of her longevity?
Mrs. Johnston claims it is her-
editary — from the paternal side
of her family.
Mrs. Johnston has two brothers:
John McNaughton, London, 87 on
April 20; and D. H. lVIcNaughton,
formerly of Bayfield, now a pa-
tient in .Alexandra Hospital, God-
erich; three sisters: Mrs. J. D.
Leslie, Saratoga, Calif.; Mrs.
Sydney Jackson, and Mrs. E. A.
Sharman, Lethbridge, Alta., all
over 75 years of age.
