Federation Plans For Worship Service
Combines Religion With Farming
(By J. Carl
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture met June 10. At the
request of the zone director, Allan
Wedow, Hanover, the Federation
instructed the secretary to arran-
ge with the chairman of the poul-
try committee for a meeting of
the township representatives.
It was agreed that the secret-
ary send out copies to each of
the township presidents of the an-
nouncement of the Federation
Worship Service to be held at the
Goderich Summer School, July 5,
Douglas Miles, agricultural rep-
resentative, gave interesting fig-
ures on the number of cows pro-
ducing at the different levels that
a farmer would need to keep in or-
der to have a labour income of
$3,000 per year. He also stated
that an active campaign has been
started in' the county that will
eradicate barbary and buckthorn
from the county during the next
five years, These. two plants pro-
vide winter quarters for rust which
causes serious loss to grain grow-
ers in the county,
This business meeting was foll-
owed by considerable discussion
on the time spent at the London
Conference of the United Church
on Farm Marketing Legislation in
general and the Hog Marketing
Program in particular, The meet-
Hemingway)
ing agreed that, while there is
always need for more information
to the public, farmers were never
before so well informed.
For all this controversy I have
arrived at two conclusions: First,
the Christian Church stands for
fair play and equality for the in-
dividual. Under the Hog Market-
ing Plan every hog of a given
quality returns the same price to
the producer whether he be large
or small, rich or poor.
Secondly, there are few in the
county that attend as many meet-
ings of rural people as I do. At
Federation meeting, Beef Produc-
er, Hog Producer, Poultry Produc-
er, Milk Producer, Cream Produc-
er meetings I meet the same peo-
ple. Then on occasion when I at-
tend a meeting of laymen or a
Sunday School Conference I find
again the same people. From this
I would suggest that if the chur-
ches do a good job of producing
a Christian they need have little
fear for the policies promoted by
farm organizations.

went unnoticed. I though that
when I dropped and broke .a beak-
er I lost points but little did I
know that I gained points for
cleaning up the mess so earefully.
After the week was over we all
sat and wrote an examination and
it was a real grind, five hours of
solid writing in which time I could
not speak to anyone or step out
of line for fear of immediate can,
cellation of my paper,
There were four-. hundred marks
Cunw. N. n.xws,nzmiu)
given for the total, two hundred
for laboratory work and two hund-
red for the examination. In all
there were fifty contestants from
all over Ontario and some of them
brilliant scholars.
After it was all over and I ar.
rived home that night it was nine
o'clock and I went straight to bed
and I did not wake up Until nine
the next morning.
It would be another two weeks
before I received any word from
the University So I settled down
to wait. To help pass the time
away I went to Grandfather's farm.
to see if I could help, and to my surprise Grampa had changed ag-
ain,
This time he was very glad to
see me and when we were settled
on the old easy chairs on the ver-
anda he questioned me closely
about the scholarship. Finally he
said, "I guess I was mean about
this thing and I reckon that it will
ruin your future if you lose,
Seems you can't get through un-
iversity on a salary not big enough
to keep the family going. So your
Grandma and I decided that if
you lost we would dig down deep
and maybe find enough money to
Put you through."
Finding Gramps in such a social
mood was startling enough, but
this statement was so unexpected
I could hardly believe my ears. I
did not want to seem too startled,
but the idea at the time was so
unexpected that I didn't hear any-
thing else that was said for a
while,
Suddenly I had 'an idea. It was
born in the back of my mind, I
did not want to say anything
about it till I was sure. Now I
had a double reason for winning,
I worked that week on the farm
and then came home, I tried al-
most everything to keep my mind
off the scholarship. I found fish-
ing the most relaxing, and I spent
hours every day in the same sunny
nook, which was along the bank
of a stream, or curled up on a
couch reading a book,
I was in such a reading position
when I heard the door bell ring.
I got up to answer it, but Ralph
got there first, I heard a few
words and then there was a pause
and the door slammed and Ralph
came in and handed me a tele-
gram.
I tore open the envelope and
excitedly read, "Mr. Harold Dec-
cer, I hereby inform you that in
the contest for the Ridgewell Sch-
olarship that you have placed first,
with a total of three hundred
and fifty six points. Stop, Con-
gratulations. Stop. Sincerely yours,
John Goodman, Chairman of the
Ridgewell Scholarship Committee."
I let out a whoop that startled
everyone in the house. Then I ran into the kitchen and picked
up my mother and swung her ar-
ound and pushed the telegram
to her hands.
I knew that she was as excited
as I was, but she did not show it,
She said, "I'll tell you what,
PO another layer on my cake and
we'll invite Grandpa and Grandma
in for supper and we'll have a
Victory party."
That night I" decided that I
would reveal my plan and I only
hoped that Gramps would agree,
After supper which was one of the
best that I had ever eaten, I took
Gramps off to a corner and said,
"We received a letter from the
hospital that paid that there was
a great surgeon in a nearby city
who could -operate on father and
restore him to health. It would:
cost five thousand dollars and I
was thinking that if you spent
the money on him that PM would
have spent on me we could have
the operation? • "
"By George Bon, you've got
something there", he said so loud-
ly that everyone in the house stop-
ped to find what the trouble was.
Then we gathered everyone to-
gether and told them our plan.
Until now I had thought that
the scholarship was the most im-
portant thing in the world but I
realized new that it placed third.
First there was father's chance of
recovery; second, Gramps had eh.
osen to see things my way, and
finally the scholarship had opened
the door of opportunity for me.
