To combat possible overcrowd- ing in the police village of Bay- field, the villagers signed a petit- ion and sent their three trustees to the February meeting of the Stanley township council at Var- na, Monday afternoon, February 2, to request a by-law governing building restrictions. Clerk Fred Watson was instructed by Reeve Alvin McBride and his councillors to prepare such a bylaw that will rule the minimum size of lots and new buildings and the minimum cost of buildings. The by-law will also rule the position of any new buildings re- garding boundary lines, and it is expected that it will put a stop to people splitting lots to construct two buildings on a minimum area, The village trustees who appear- ed as a deputation at Varna were Ben Rathwell, John Stewart and John Fraser. Bayfield has an area of 349 ac- res. Fire Protection 'A grant of $300 each for fire protection throughout the year was granted the Bayfield Fire De- partment and the Brucefield Fire Department.

Andre Deseck Acclaimed President, Milk Producers dairying rest on family labor. "It's surprising," he said, "how Simply people can live, and how happy they can be with very little.' , "The dairy business in Canada," said Hugh Hill, Benmiller, hon- orary president of the association, "is, in the most precarious posi- tion it has been in, in the history of the country." In the United Stetes, be said, a synthetic sub- stitute for ice cream is being marketed at about half the price of genuine ice cream, and is gaining a large share of the mar- ket. There has been one type of synthetic ice cream on sale in Ontario for the past two years, said Mr. Hill. Nothing certain. can be said, Mr, Hill observed, about the nu- tritive values, or lack of them, in the synthetic substitutes that are threatening the dairy inclustr-. "I don't think the chemists will ever be able, to tell the full story of food values," Mr. Hill said.

Livermore presided at the February meeting of the Fish and Game Club, held in the new Club House on Monday, February 2. In the absence of Joe Murphy, sece- tary, John Wilson acted in his place. The club decided to help install a ping-pong table and all that goes with it for the use of the Junior Club. Club painters volunteered for Wednesday afternoon to con- tinue work on the interior walls. The club was informed that the Department was ready to place young fish in any suitable stream in the vicinity of Clinton, when these waters were passed upon by their inspectors. Such fish are usually placed in the streams in April.

Ed. O'Dell, Corunna Credit Union, Lambton County. Introduced by W. V, Roy, treasurer-manager of the Clinton Union, Mr. O'Dell emphasized that a credit union belongs to its members,—that it is an association of people, not dollars. The guest speaker gave a brief history of the Credit Un- ion Movement, This movement began 105 years ago in Germany and was brought to Canada to a French Canadian Journalist, Al- phonse Desjardins, who set up a Credit Union at Levis, Quebec, beginning with the sum of $26. Now, after 53 years of operation, their assets are between seven and eight million dollars. The Credit UnionMovement in- troduced into the United States by this' same man, with the sup- port of an American Jew. There are now over 15,000 Credit Un- ions in America with over seven million members, and have as- sets of $700,000,000. The, president, L. G. Winter, announced a three-per-cent divi- dent on saving to all members. According to W. V. Roy, treas- urer-manager, there are 135 mem- bers to date in the six months of operation, with a share balance of $9,000, and a loan balance of $12,- 820. The average saving of each member as of December 31 was $70. According to Thomas Steep, chairman of the credit committee, there were 32 loans made in the six months of operation. Two new directors were elect- ed — Miss Patricia Morrison, (three-year period) and W. L. Moore (one-year period). Tho- mas Steep, credit committee and K. W. Colquhoun, audit com- mittee were returned to office. The board of directors for 1953 includes L. G. Winter, A. Garon, W. V.

Mont- gomery, agricultural represen- tative for Huron County, word has been received through Dr. J. C. MacLennan, Seaforth, of the health and animals branch, Canadian Department of Ag- riculture, that Huron County has been declared an accredit- - ed area regarding TB in live- stock, until December 1, 1954.. All livestock now coming into the county will have to be TB- tested if they did not come from an accredited area. 0 Lions Arena Will Not Be Given to Town Members of Clinton Lions Club Tuesday night, February 3, by an overwhelming majority turned down a proposal to donate the Clinton Lions Arena, which it owns, to the town. Suggestion that the club might consider turning the arena over to Clinton was made last week to Council, which indicated it would consider the transfer if at least 75 per cent of the club members supported the move. In a secret ballot there was no sign the vote even approached the 75 per cent mark. Clinton Liberals Pick Officers for 1953 An organization meeting was held by members of the Liberal Association of Clinton, in the Hotel Clinton last Friday even- ing.

Allan, Brucefield, and Doreen McGuire, Clinton, though successful until now were narrowly defeated last night in Shetland, Lambton Coun- ty, A slim margin of eight points was all that separated them from a further try at entering the ,finals in the province-wide debat- ing contest now being staged.- Accompanied by John D. Butler, assistant agricultural representa- tive for Huron County, and John Gibson, the Huron County team defended the affirmative side of the question: "resolved that the present educational system fails to meet the need of our farm young people", The Lambton team provided two judges, while Mrs. Clarence Trott, Clinton, acted as the third judge. Those present at the debate were in agreement with the decision of the judges, and though it certainly would have been nice if the local team could have come back vict- orious, their friends may rest assured that they made a good showing, and took their loss like the good sports they are. Winners were: Ray Dobbin, R.R. 1, Inwood and Fred Francher, R.R. 2, Flor- ence. 0 Mrs. George Saville Celebrates 89th Year Congratulations are extended to Mrs. George Saville, Rattenbury St. West, who on Thursday, Jan- uary 29, celebrated her 89th birth- day. The occasion was marked by a tea party during the afternoon and evening, when Mrs. Saville was at home to more than eighty guests, who called to extend to her their best wishes and to show- er her with many beautiful flow- ers and gifts. The following ladies assisted Mrs. Saville in receiving her gues- ts and serving them tea: Mrs. Bat- kin, Mrs. Laidlaw, Mrs. Margaret Addison, Mrs, H. Crich, Mrs. J. A. McGill, Mrs. W. Moffat, Mrs. Frank Fingland, Mrs. George Beattie and Mrs, Doug Bartliff. Mrs. Saville, who is in very good health was married in Londesboro, in 1883, and has lived since that time iii Clinton.

Called particularly to con- sider securing two' constables in the Town of Clinton, the Councillors have a good many applications to consider. Congratulations! 1 B. J. Gibbings, ex-mayor of Clin- ton, will celebrate his 83rd birth- day at his home on Gibbings St., on Sunday, February 15. A fam- ily get-together is planned, when his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gibbings, with their children will be home from Strat- ford. Andrew Deseck, R.R. 4, Clin- ton, was given an acclamation to second term as president of the Huron Milk Producers' Associa- tion, at the annual meeting on Friday afternoon in the Agricul- tural Office board room. W. B. Cruickshank, Wingham, was re- elected vice-president; and Bar- rie Walter, R. R. 1, Goderich, was re-elected secretary-treasur- er, The association comprises dairy farmers supplying whose milk for the fluid milk trade in urban centres in Huron County. A better showing from Huron County this year in the June set- aside project, which builds an annual fund for advertising dairy products, was predicted by Mr. Deseck. The collection from farmers of money for the Dairy Farmers of Canada advertising campaign was not as good in 1952 as it might have been, said Mr, Deseck, partly because not all distributors were willing to co-operate by making deductions from :rarnaers" cheques. The ex- ecutive of the Huron Milk Pro- ducers' Association will try to arange that the collection. in June, 1953, is consistent and complete, he said, The principal speaker at the Meeting was Oliver Snyder, Hea- oder, tone director of the Ontario Whole Milk Producers' Associa.. tion. Mr, Snyder described a recent trip to Britain, Westetn Europe, and the Levant, Milk marketing in Britain, Mr, Snyder said, is very Well Organ- ized. In Most turepeari COuntrieg, he observed, agriculture and !shirts from import, and to pro- ! tect glove producers by barring cheap gloves. These things should be cited as precedents by farm organizations, he said, when they ask the government to protect the dairy industry by barring cheap substitutes for dairy pro- ducts. Mr. Hill advised that members of the Huron Milk Producers' Association should talk to their local members of the Ontario Legislature, to explain the need for protection of the dairy in- dustry against substitute foods made with vegetable oils. Soy- bean growers, Mr. Hill declared, are ready to support the Dairy Farmers of Canada in a campaign against imported vegetable oils, Directors elected to the exec- utive of the Huron association for 1953 are: L. Whitfield, myth; Peter Simpson, Seaforth; G. J. Dow, Exeter; G, C. Feagan, R.R. 1. Goderich; William Decker, Zurich, C. of C.

E, Hartley reports that the annual membership campaign will be opened shortly, Fees may be left at the office of either L. G. Winter or X. W. Colquhoun. Plans are being made to pub- lish a number of brochures of Clinton, these to be used to pro- vide information concerning the town's possibilities and prospects.
