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.

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.
