Pending ap- proval by the board and sub- oderich Petition .or Liquor Vote On February 14, the county directors and affiliated organi- zation representatives of the Federation of Agriculture met in the agricultural office board rooms, Clinton. In the absence of president Warren Zurbrigg, the first vice-president, Gordon Greig presided, Mrs, Jahn Elliott, county chairman of the cancer fund, .outlined the program of the or, ganization and requested the co-operation of the Federation in this important work. Since there was some confusion in previlous years it was suggested that the rural canvass be eon, ducted on a township basis rather than on the basis of the cancer units working out around the urban .unit area. This is a worthy cause which has receiv- ed strong support .from .Federa- tion in the past and it is. expected that this year Will be 'no exception, After some discussion it was agreed that the county should send a delegate to the 25th an- nual meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture in Ottawa. President Warren Zur,' brigg was appointed with the privilege of appointing an alter- nate if he is unable to go. Reports were given by Elmer Ireland and Mrs. M. Labb on the leadership forum at Gode- rifch with recommendations that A a similar school be held next year, As a result of this course, Mrs. Lobb has organized the ladies of Goderich Township federation and they are con- ducting a meeting on education, at the Hohnesville United Ch- urch on February 24 at 8.15 p.m, There will be a panel dis, cussion on methods of education chaired by Mr. Coulter, local ;inspector, with two parents and two teachers as panel members. Films will also be shown for further information and enter- tainment, The secretary was instructed to order copies of the "History of the C.F.A." for each of the 'townships and •also each of the local weekly neWspapers. Albert Bacon, newly-elected county president of the Huron Hog Producers AsSociation, out- lined the procedure on the vote to elect county delegates for the Hog Producers Marketing Board to be held under regula- tions of the Farm Products Marketing Board, on March 6 in the Legion Hall, Clinton. Nominations will be accepted from 10 am. to 11 'a.m. and voting will be from 1 to 5 p.m, At the annual meeting of the Hog Producers Association and the Hog Producers Co-operative on February 9, one delegate was elected from each township and in order to make up the required 19, three delegates were elected at large. Since this is the same number required for the Marketing Board on March 6, it would seem much simpler to let these same dele- gates, which are well distribut- ed over the county, be the dele- gates for the Marketing Board as well. In order to have a rea- sonable vote on March 6 there should be five carloads from each township. Even this num- ber would only be about ten percent of the hog producers but will mean something like 4,000 miles of driving. Hardly seems• sensible when the job could already have been done.

The pumping prevents continuous locking and skidding of the wheels. Remember: once your car's wheels lock, your car is out of control. Even if you can make only a temporary job of fencing your farm pond now, it might keep your livestock safe this winter. Recently one Ontario farmer reported that two cows drown- ed and another four needed res- cuing by tractor and ropes when the ice in his pond gave way under the weight of 20 cows. Is the water level in your area dropping? Perhaps you should check with your agri- cultural representative's office about the advisability of a farm pond. It's an emergency supply of water if your well goes dry. Ontario Department of Agriculture engineers will advise and survey your pond site at no cost. M. treasurer and Miss M. R.
