Two errors in the story of the
Middleton Sale, we are apologising
for this week; First, it was not a
dispersale sale, but rather a re-
duction sale. Mr. Middleton and
Mr. Turnbull are definitely net
going out of Aberdeen Angus cat-

by saying that the ladies of Trin-

Have You Rats?
Juitior Farmers
Waging A War
Who among you is absolutely
sure there are no rats on your
farm, or in yr -house?
That is the question which the
Junior Farmers of the 'county are
asking the.mselvea and all who live
in Huron. Since they suspect the
answer is, "nobody," they are wag-
ing a war on rats, which is expec-
ted, to stimulate a community wide
drive to irradicate the filthy cost.:
ly pests. •
Prof, R. H. Oxburn, OAC, found
rats on every one of the 57 farms
he visited during a recent test. It
is estimated that each of. these
farina Iost as much as $1,000 a
year to these pests.
Rats don't restrict their activity
to farms. They're extremely com-
mon around stores, food processing
plants and in many town homes.
Dumps serve as a real source of
infestation in many places,
"People Would not tolerate rats
around their buildings," states A.
S. Bolton, assistant agricultural
representative for the county, "if
they appreciated how filthy and
costly they are, and ho r easy it is
to get rid of them,"
The campaign in Huron is part
of a province -wide campaign by
the Junior Farmers in Ontario. The
local ,committee is.LarrY Wheatley
and Betty Campbell, RR 1, Dublin;
Earl MeSpadden, RR 1, Seaforth,
and Ross Smith, RR, 1, Ethel.
Reduction in the numbers of rats
and. of mice, means a reduction in
the spread of both human and
livestock diseases' and will save
members of the community $20 for
every rat killed. '

To reach the big game Clinton had to win two sudden -death
games during the past week, Against Wingham on Friday they
were very fortunate in edging the northern club 7A although out,
played in. almost all departments. The 1-0 win over Mitchell on
Tuesday was close in score but should have ' been less in doubt
except for some loose play by Clinton inside the Mitchell 20 yard
marker. An assortment of foolish penalties cost then hard earned
yardage at crucial points in the game and prevented them from
getting into scoring position.
Jack .Figley's booting has been the big difference between
victory and .defeat in the two games. Jack, although often work-
ing against a high wind has punted the ball well out ' of danger on
numerous occasions when the R,edmen were being forced back near
their • goal line.

had been considered in the apring.
He said that in Grey -Bruce the
program has changed. In that
area, they had worked. on the plan
of an FOB selling price at a local

said Mr. Aiken, "50 portent of the
