Even younger men are worry-

In the fi'r'st ixare of the Cern-

a grade 10 student had these

R. E. Goodin
Ontario Food Council Speaker
At Clinton Lions Meeting
The first secretary of the
Ontax+io Food Council Dammed in
June 1964, gave a very en-
couraging addrests to Clinton
Lions Chub Tuesday evening.
R. E. "Dick" Goodin drove
from Wiinghatxi to Clinton that
afternoon and told the Lions
"you have a terrific agricul-
tural county here". Earlier in
the . day he had been in Simcee
County inspecting hundreds of
are of potatoes on former
m'ars'h land. He passed out sam-
ples of the large Idaho potatoes
grown there.
The speaker explained why
the food council was formed by
the Ontario. Department of Ag-
riculture. "It is for the promo-
tion of foods within the pro-
vince and for overieeas export",
he said.
Mr. Goodin was introduced
by Doug Miles, agricultural
representative for Huron Coun-
ty and thanked by IJions Presi-
dent Duet Thompson,
The speaker ta'l'ked of Ont -
aria trade missions and attend-
ing the flood wholesalers con-
venteon last winter. At the lat-
ter affair, a. question period
brought out the fact that com-
munication with others is a
problem today. IIe said, "There
can't be too many speeches,
we need people to talk to us
and inform us, and we to talk
and explain to others." .
Excerpts from, Mr. Goodin•'s
talk are as follows:
"Let there be a crop failure
due to drought, disease, or low
selling price in any area, and
it is soon reflected in b'iisiinees.
In our national sphere, kr the
past quarter century, we rea-
lize the great caaainity of the
drought years in Western Can-
ada, the grasshopper plagues,
followed by years of plenty,

He stressed the fact that the

safety groups to prevent ac-
cidents before they d'ecur.. He
invited safety -minded inckhti'c ie
als to seek out policemen "trc`

Manufacturers Too
Lloyd Collins a me'mbe'r of
the sales stat if with the John -
Deere fanhln machinery company
said the four major causes of
farm accidents were improper
use of anacbinemy, ignorance of
the inamutfaeturer's safety rec-
ommendations, operator fatigue
caused by long working hours
and "trying to de too much in
too little time".
He said studies showed that
the bulk if farm accidents oc-
cured just before lunch and
during the late afternoon, and
suggested a coffee break for
the farmer at least twice a
day.
Elderly faayin helpers, he said,
may have been go'o'd horsemen
but are inexperienced when it
coarses to working with high-
powered, speedy machinery of
this modern age, He also warm-
ed against the utilization of
young de:Idren as farm mach-
ine :orperator%
"They just don't anticipate
troable as an older person
d," he reas'onecl,
"Slow moving vehicles on the
highway are a. serious accident
hazzard," he continued. "The
farmer must l)e .courteous by
pulling over to lett fast moving
traffic go by."
He listed the unshielded
power -take -off as "highly .daxi-
gerous'', and warned that these
units make as many as 17
revolutions per second in new-
er equipment

ed a host of questions from the
floor.
Dianne Liddiard, home econ-
ounist, was• told that the pro-
gx"am of SUVA,' signs was in its
infancy and will in time become
more popular — maybe even
compulsory. This came in an-
swer to her query concerning
the noticeable absence in Hur-
on of 'tihe signs whish are being
solid by the Junior Farmers.
One representative asked
Gourd McGavin whether farrn
equipment dealers ,were doing
anything to promote the use of
safety signs on new pieces of
maChdnery sold to farmers.
Mr. 1VicGavin said his com-
pany head the Signe for sale but
added, "The older vehicles are
more often the ones Involved in
accidents on the highways.

With proper lights for satiety."
When asked whlat the react-

Few Appeals At
Court of Revision
Assessment on two proper-
ties in Clinton were reduced at
the court of revision for the
town on Monday evening. Dep-
uty Reeve George Wonch was
chairman of the meeting.
A $50 reduction was made
on a ware -house at the. A. G.
Grigg and Son yards.
Assessment on ]and owned by
Mrs. Jessie McKenzie on Erie
Street was reduced by $115,
reeking the assessment $60.
'An appeal from • H. F, Swan
on ,his: grocery. store was; .:sus,
trained. The appeal. froan Cor-
rie''s Red and White store was
not considered as no one ap-
peared from that business at
the Court of Revision. The ap-
peal of J. Gillman, on the for-
mer William Steep property,
was also sustained.
Business assessments were
reduced or sitiuck off the roll
for ,business'es that have ceased
orpeeationn.
The motion, .as presented by
Deputy Reeve George Wbnch
and seconded by Councillor
Noulmaa Livermore, read as' fol-
lows: "That the town of Clin-
toe proceed with the construc-
tion of a new arena, pending
on the results of Soil tests talc-
en, and that a vote of council
be 'taken at tins time for or
against."

an and Jdhn Livermore was
defeated fltire to three. The a-
mendment Was; -"That an opin-
ion on the building of the new
arena be obtained on voting
day from the electorate",
When the annendrneni was
defeated, council voted on tihe
original motion and passed it
unanimously.
Present at the meeting were
members of the new arena,
committee, Treaded by David
Beattie, and manvbees of Clin-
ton Kinsmen Club and other
citizens. Also present was Don
and John Peirson of Peirson
Buildings Limited, Peterbor-
ough, who had previously put
in a bid on the 'building of an
arena at a cost of $167,940,40.
After Mr. Beattie and John
Peirson had spoken to council
explaining the proposed arena
considerable discussion took
place.
Prior to the main, notion
by 4Vonch, and Livermore, coun-
cil passed a motion authorizing
the arena committee to get
soil tests taken on the propos-
ed site in Clinton Community
Park. .
Prank Cook reminded that a
service club committee built
and paid for a $50,000 swim-
ming pool before it opened. He
also asked, "If present arena
doesn't open, does this mean
we have no arena.,'
Councillor Noonan estimated
at least seven mills would be
added to the taxes on a $167,-
000 arena. When asked about
grants, Councillor Noonan re-
plied that at an arena com-
mittee meeting in June only
two grants would be available,
a $10,000 centennial grant of
which the town pays one-third,
and a $5,000 department of ag-
riculture grant.
Mayor Don Symons said, "1
know',tit no .:area which oper-
ates an arena ash cheaply as we
do." The town gives the Lions
arena $1,000 annually. To this,
