R. McClellan, '.To- ronto. Mr. McClellan is inspector of secondary ,schools for • the On- taxio Department of Education. Based on the theme "New Ideas in Farm Buildings" these exhibits showed evidence of much work and thought on the part of both teachers and pupils in the school;. "Duron is one of the few counties where all majorhigh schools have departments of agriculture," Mc, McClellan said. "Naw that nearly all of our young folk are getting to high school, it is important that these youngsters who may plan to faun shall get the needed ground- work in training for their in- dustry," he went on. Mr. McClellan called the seed shows, fairs and plowing matches, "the show -windows of the farming industry." It is good that you, here, are getting your young folk interested in competitions, went en the speaker. This is largely due to they expanding club work; there are now about 3,000 young people engaged in junior club work in the province. Congratulating the schools for their exhibits, Mr. 'McClellan stat- ed that they were too good to be dismantled, but should be held and shown again, Each of the exhibits would receive equal prize money. The Clinton District Collegiate Institute showed two displays, each showing a different construe- tion of barn incorporating the new idea of loafing barns and milking parlours for dairy cows. Mr. Mc- Clellan advised that the exhibit would look better with some green grass to landscape it rather than "so much barnyard"; however, he commended the exhibitors an the good deal of work which had gone into the display. These barns are now displayed in the window of the Agriculturei Office in Clinton, South Huron District High School, Exeter, showed a scale model of a modern piggery de- signed to accommodate 400 pigs, Constructed of Masonite, complete with hinged pen doors, feed troughs, creeps, plan for overhead distribution of ,feed on a system of conveyor belts, cleaning -out by mechanized .equipment, weighing room, ramp for loading, and office on the ground floor for administra- tion purpose, this exhibit gained much attention. Mr. McClellan advised a little more finish to the setting -up of this exhibit. Seaforth District High School presented a very attractive exhibit of an implement shed for storage of farm machinery, which was 8o?4 she Dei 4,Yee SALADA' TEA & COFFEE I 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe StyleIine Sedan, equip - ed with radio 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe Styline Coach 1952 Pontiac Styline Coach 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Sedan 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe Fleetline Sedan 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe Styline Sedan 1951 Pontiac Styline Coach 1951 Deluxe Dodge Sedan 1949 Chevrolet Styline Coach 1948 Chevrolet Sedan 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline Coach 1947 Pontiac Coach with custom radio 1941 Chevrolet Sedan (completely reconditioned) 1939 Pontiac Coach 1938 Chevrolet Coach 1937 Chevrolet Coach TRUCKS 1953 Dodge 1/2 Ton Pick -Up -- Below List 1948 Mercury 1/2 Ton Pick-up 1945 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Pick-up AND MANY OLDER MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM russels Maters Huron County's Foremost Used Car Dealers BRUSSELS, ONT. -- PHONE 73-X "finishedbp oduct"r. d The 1a dsean asl) ing was good, the building attrac- tive1y painted, the printing on the background was easy to read. Winghant District High .School had a good display of a loose housing barn,, in which work for the farmer is saved by having the cattle pick up their own feed, "A very fine exhibit," said Mr, Me- Clellan. "It was well -displayed, with good large hold type to de- scribe it." Goderich District Collegiate L7 stitute showed the exterior, only, of a well-designed poultry house. Mr. McClellan criticised this ex- hibit for not showing the inside of the house, and for the small print in the display material. He re- commended the deep litter system in poultry houses, stating that the litter Gould be left for severe' years, with less disease resulting than if the usual method were used, - Did you know that Y011 are represented in Japan and Korea by a team of specially selected and trained Red Cross workers serving in hospitals, recreation centres and even in field dressing stations.

BUS 'TOPPLES; NO SERIOUS. INJURIES (BY our Hensall correspondent) One girl was injured but 34 other :Seaforth High School stud- ents escaped with a shaking up Monday, M arch 2, when the school bus careened across an icy road into a ditch and tipped over in front of Wilbert Dilling's farm, One and one-half miles east of Hensall. Josephine Morris of Dublin, suf- fered a fractured left shoulder in the crash but after treatment, was released from. Scott Memorial. Hos- pital, Seaforth. Dr. J. Gorwill cf Seaforth, attended, Other students were scared but sang to buoy up their spirits after they crawled out of the bus. The heavily -loaded bus had stopped two feet short of a cement culvert. The bus, loaded with students bound for homes in Dublin, Staffa, Tuckersmith, Chiselhurst and Hen- sail, hit a snow drift and went out of control into a ditch, The driver swung the bus back onto the road but it skidded across the slippery road into the opposite ditch and toppled over. Windows on one side of the bus were shattered, but none of the students were in- jured by flying glass. The bus landed on its left side, blocking the emergency exit. Students got out by standing on the driver's seat and pulling themselves through the front door, Bill Brock, R.R. 2, Kippen, a passenger in the bus, said students were scared but otherwise took the accident in their stride. Parents who came to take stud- ents home in their cars gave credit to Andy Calder, Seaforth, whose driving skill avoided a more ser- ious accident. It was his first ac- cident in 25 years. Several par- ents who tried to push the bus up- right, were unsuccessful, and it was left in the ditch for the night.

Cameron, Westmount, Que„ wondered if he could have a refund "in sterling of equivalent value of that time," Fearing that payment of the re- fund with compound interest all at once "would bankrupt the company", Mr. Cameron made a magnanimous offer, He said he would accept "a slow note with a low rate of interest providing the initial payments were substantial," Replied Mr. Gordon: "If you will accept my deepest thanks as a 'substantial initial payment' I can assure you that the ticket will draw an extremely high rate of interest from thousands of Canad- ian people who, we hope, will eventually be able to view it . .

Canadian Red Cross is among the organizations which, through gifts of clothing and other essentials make these people welcome and wanted in the western world. Last year Ontario Division Red Cross,, through the volunteer ef- forts of hundreds of women in Red Cross workrooms across the prov- ince, was able to send clothing valued at $12,000 to these sorely pressed people of many races. Mrs. Edward Coleman, chairman of women's work recently received a communication from V. Bertrab, Western German Red Cross. It included an album containing many photos of actual distribution of these supplies. The album con- tains grateful letters of thank. Mr. Bertrab writes: "We are pleased we can present you with a small alubum whicn we have made . . it is intended to give you an impression how your donations have been received by the beneficiaries cared for by us in your name and order," "The Land Societies of the Ger- man Red Cross", Mr. Bertrab con- tinues, "assure us again and again that of the foreign donations ar- riving here those of Canadian Red Cross with children's clothing, due to their quality and variety of assortment, are outstanding. The mothers cared for, are mostly re- fugees and expellees, who lost riot only their homes but all their property."

Also, the induces show that while farm implements have only increased 66.5% there has been an increase in the price of farm products of 93.8% and the scarcity of farm labour has caused farm wage rates to climb to 175.3%. The partial absorption of the increased costs of materials and labour has been made possible by the continued great world demand for farm mechan- ration giving a volume that permits a low ratio of selling expenses and high operating efficiency in manufacturing.
