A bylaw was passed setting
the first meeting in January

• The township agreed it

to the Department of Energy
and Resources Management at

re-construction of the clam on

The last regular meeting of

commencing at 1:30 p.m.
our wheat surplus disappeared,
From this we must conclude
that agriculture production of
livestock, dairy products and
poultry products matches feed
production. 'True by manipul-
ating prices and by idea pro-
motion we can increase the
production of dairy product's
but automatically we get a re-
duction in beef production. We
can do the same regarding hog
versus poultry products but the
total is very closely related to
feed supplies:
If corn production can be in-
creased so easily by 48 per cent
we can rest assured that a little
later we will have a corres-
ponding increase in livestock
and poultry products.
What would happen if Ford
produced 2,000,000 cars where
1,000,000 are now produced: The
same principle .applies to agri-
culture.
would like to take this
opportunity to thank

one the best .in the

Hold ..Meeting ..at Clinton
The Zone One (Huron County) 'Committee of
the Mid-Western Ontario .Deyelopment Association
held a zone meeting on Wednesday evening, Nov.
25, at the Elm Haven Motor Hotel,
28 Huron SC, Clinton
Clinton Feed
The purpose, of this mooting
was to report on the activities
to date, and the result Of soy-
oral investigations that had
been carried out since the
last Zone meeting.
The meeting was well-attend-
ed and several lively discus-
sions developed. The question
of the acceptable nnalitY of
some of the Huron County
gravel pits came under review,
and it was .decided. the Depart-
merit of Highways would be
contacted to 'establish what .the
current thinking was in respect
to the approval of the pits •con-
taining .certain deposits with
undesirable mineral elements.
A report on this matter will
be presented at the next met-
ing.
Consider Tourism
The recent activities of the
Regional Tourist Council came
under review. It was felt that
since the adrninistration of the
Tourist Council had been re-
moved from the jarisclietion of
the Mid-Western Development
Association, there had been a
felling-off of (the tourist pro-
motion in the area. Several of
the speakers felt the tourist
industry would be better serv-
ed if the administration of the
Tourist ,Council activites was
returned to M.O.D.A., and be-
came part of 'the Regional De-
velopment function.
It was painted out several
other Regions in Ontario handle
the administration of 'the tour-
st industry, and It comprises
one of their major roles in.
regional development lit was
the decision of the meeting
that this question would be re-
ferred back to the ..Board of
Directors of M.O.D.A. 'at their
next general meeting in Jan-
uary, for consideration - and
action, .
Robert Shrier of Goderich
brought up the question of In-
dustrial Promotion in the
County of Huron, and suggest-
ed there was a decline rather
than a growth of industrial
development in the area. He
felt one of the leading factors
was the premium cost of trans-
portation of materials in and
ut of the county and it was
one of the main reasons why
new industry was giving the
municipalities in the county the
cold shoulder.
Wants Assistance
Mr. Shrier felt the assist-
ance of the provincial and fed-
eral governments should . be
called upon to give some equal-
'zation assistance to put the
county transportation rates on
an equal basis to other local
areas.
The meeting also brought out
the important fact that very
few municipalities were able to-
present their community to a
prospective industry in a fav-
urable manner. It was sug-
gested the municipalities 'should
place (themselves in the same
light as the industrial prospect,
and they would then see what
services and organization were
acking,
If they had a housecleaning
and prepared their plans and
submissions ahead of time on a
business basis, they would be
ready when the next suitable
prospect came along.
To County Council
The discussion on this mat-
ter finally wound up with the
resolve that the lack of •indust-
ial expansion should be brought
to the attention of County
Council. This meeting with
Council would also bring out
the overall wishes of the •rrami-

tioned the use to which his bi-

Feasibility Study, in the teach-
ing of Geography and the high-
er grades.
Mr. Hunter also added his
weight to the serious problem
of a 'loss of skilled and trained
young adults, due to the fact
there was little or no suitable
local employment for them on
graduation. This loss could rise
as high as 300 students annual-

Charles Zondervaan, 18, of
Clinton, was fined $50 and
costs of $2.50 a week ago Wed-
nesday in Magistrate's Court at
Clinton when he pleaded guilty
to a charge of careless driving.
Zondervaan's ear was involv-
ed in collision with a hydrant
around midnight on the night
of Nov. 14 near Clinton Public
School, police said.
The accident was investi-
gated by Clinton constables Ab
Shadd'ick, Clarence Perdue and
Leroy Oesch who said the
youth's car had gone out of
control, broken off a hydrant
and continued for 135 feet.
"Flagrant Case"
Court was told there was
Wale indication 'the youth had
been drinking, but no liquor
charges were laid. The accus-
ed 'said he had attempted to
swerve his car to miss a dog.
"This is a very flagrant case
of careless driving," Magistrate
Hays said. "I will fine you $50
and costs of $2.50 and take
no action on your license be-
cause you have to drive to
work in Seaforth every day,
You will lose points, however,"
he said, "and this should make
you drive with a great deal
more care."

How would you like to -be
groWing 182 bushels per ;acre?
I was 'told that this was done
in Norfolk County this year.
The 182 bushels were dried
shell corn. -
How was it done? This far-
mer planted his: 'earn hi 18
inch - rows and no doubt used,
'what ' most of us in Huron
would .consider, a heavy appli-
cation of fertilizer. On a test
'plot area he planted over again
putting a roW betWeen each
rote making a 19 inch spacing
With no ;additional fertilizer.
The yield on the 38 inch spac-
ing was 123 bushels per acre;
on the 19 inch spacing 182
bushels per acre. Conditions
were particularly good. There
was 1114, inches of rain during
,August which I understand is
,considerably more than aver-
' age.
Lt's ,look at the results
again. There was an increase
of 59 bushels per acre or
most 48 per cent, By sowing
an extra 1.25 in seed the farm-
er got 'an increased return of
about $68.00,
What happens to this corn?
Cornflakes? Very little if any,
Basically the corn grown in
Ontario is fed to livestock and
poultry.
If our farmers follow this
wonderful example, and they
will, we can expect an increase
in broilers, eggs, hogs, beef and
dairy products' of perhaps 50
per cent.
How's your memory? In
January and FebrUary of 1957
two boat loads of skim milk
powder were imported to Can,-
ada to relieve a serious short-
age, Supplies of butter were
being depleted at a rate that
we would definitely have a ser-
ious shortage by the early part
of 1958.
Price supports were changed,
a production promotion was
instituted and by 1961 we were
faced with what many liked to
call it, "a huge butter surplus.'
This continued to be a burden
until very recently. It was
produced by a two per cent
surplus of milk,
Why did this butter surplus
disappear? Briefly it disappear-
ed because of crop failure in
Europe. For the same reason
