Meeting - The district executive of South Huron W.I. met recently to plan for activities for the coming year. The district annual will be held in Hen­ sail May 28th, at 1.15 p.m., instead of Seaforth, as formerly iplanned, to comply with gas and tire rationing laws in effect. The district is plan­ ning a shower of knitted goods for the Navy League of some 350 pieces and 32 quilts, all to be completed by antuimn. Each branch will be responsible for a stated number of articles, while magazines and books suitable for reading matter and do­ nations of' maple sugar will 'be brought to the annual. A wide­ spread plan for the'extension of hos­ pitality and entertainment of air­ men in South Huron training centres is being worked out by the individual branches. A complete summary of South Huron war work for the past year will be on dis­ play at the district annual, and will be of a most commendable order. The summary day relative to the lo­ cal leader course in vegetable cook­ ery was outlined in Exeter. The response of the representatives from the seven branches present at, these war work activities was most grati­ fying to the president and officers. Mrs. J. Hey, of Zurich, as chairman for the nominating committee, drew up the new slate of officers for rati­ fication for the ensuing year. News from the International * # ♦ i* Roland Williams, of Exeter, is the chairman of the lunch commit­ tee for the 1942 International Plowing Match to be held; in Hur­ on County on October 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this year, on a specially selected location in Hullett Town­ ship between Seaforth and Clinton. “Roly” Williams has a big Job on his hands-—the task of feeding the hungry army of plowmen who will be talcing part in this great exposition, That may sound com­ paratively easy, and yet it is not an easy task because for four days the men who are talcing part in the competition will depend on the com­ mittee headed, by Mr! Williams to feed them. Arrangements are being made at the present time to secure caterers who will make up the lunches, which will be handed out to the various plowmen, The next step will he to arrange for the distribution facili­ ties—and that is no easy task­ scattering throughout the various fields where the competitions will be taking place, the plowmen will have to have the lunch brought to them on time. Mr. Williams is quite optimistic about the general situation and says he feels that the co-operation ex­ hibited by the various people dir­ ectly connected with the plowing match is in itself a definite assur­ ance, that the 1942 International Plowing Match to be held in Huron County will be, in spite of the dif­ ficulties occasioned by world con­ ditions, one of the most successful ever to be presented in the province of Ontario. Commence Cost of Egg Production Survey in Huron County A, W. Morgan, of Usborne, County Federation President, Will do the Field Work (Seaforth Expositor) CORBETT Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Woodburn and -family visited with Mr. and Mrs. Ray Patterson of Grand Bend on Sunday afternoon. Week-end visitors with Mr", and Mrs. Garfield Steepei’ were Mr. and Mrs. E. Hodgins, of Woodstock; Mr. Henry Belinger, of Detroit; Miss Alice Belinger and Mrs. Norman Fralick, of Detroit. HARPLEY Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Taylor and family have moved to their home in Exeter. Mr. John Love, of Grand Bend, spent Sunday With Mr. and Mrs. Colin Love. Pte. Clarence Stone, of Camp Bor­ den, spent the Week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L, Stone. ■ Miss Donna Hay ter, of Grand eBhd, spent the week-end at her home here. Maxie Tiedemann, of Grand Bend, spent the week-end with his moth­ er, at the home of Mr. Joseph Hick­ ey. “Archie” Morgan, from Usborne township, is in charge of parking at ’the International Plowing Match to be held in Hullett township, Huron county, on October 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this year. Mjr. Morgan is in- charge of one of the most important, if not the most important committees in the whole scheme from the standpoint of the sponsoring , Huron county committee. It is from the parking fees that ,t'he local committee will derive all its revenue at’the Interna­ tional. Mr. Morgan is a representative farmer from Huron county. He has always been known as a progres­ sive man and for that reason he was chosen as the president of the vir­ ile Huron County Federation of Ag­ riculture. Already hi's voice has been heard echoing in the conven­ tion hall of the Ontario group as he expressed his opinion and those of the Huron county group often at variance with views expressed 'by other delegates. Archie 'is known as a jnan who listens to what the other fellow has to'say, considers it fully and then expresses his own opinion. That’s the way he is working on his com­ mittee for parking at the Interna­ tional. He knows what they did at other matches. He has considered all the plans and he has a few ideas of his own. He intends using them at the match this fall. Mr. Morgan is a busy man. He has his farm and the work of being township clerk. In spite of these matters and the affairs of the Fed­ eration of Agriculture he has con­ sented to head the Parking Commit­ tee. He is doing so because he feels that the Internationa,! Plowing Match can be of material . benefit to Huron 'County. When you talk to Archie about the match he never mentions all the work that has been done or the great amount of work which is yet to be completed. He talks in terms of the great crowd, the county ex­ hibits and the impressions they must leave with the visitors and the splendid location which has been selected for the International Plowing Match. Archie Morgan is* a sound 'boos­ ter for the match. By the examples of personal sacrifice he is giving leadership....... the kind of leader­ ship which is bound to result ’in Huron county having a plowing match that will be the greatest ever held.

Sandy went and got four um­ brellas from the hall and hid them in the kitchen. I said to him, “Are you scared your friends will pinch your umbrel­ las?” “No,” he told me. “I’m scared they’ll recognize them,” Itching, Burning, Stinging Eczema or Salt Rheum • Eczema, or salt rheum as it is commonly called, is one of the most painful of all skin troubles.

Work will commence in Huron on May 1st on a cost of production sur­ vey of eggs, it was announced this week. The survey is handled through the Huron County Federation of Ag­ riculture, Similar surveys are being conducted during the month of in British 'Columbia, Alberta, katchewan, Manitoba, Ontario Quebec. The surveys are being ducted by the Poultry, Industry Committees of the various provinces at the request of the National Com­ mittee of Poultry Producers. The Ontario member on the National Committee is W. L, Whyte, of Sea­ forth. “At the request of producers the Special Products poard at Ottawa, made provisions for a National Com­ mittee of Poultry Producers to ad­ vise the board on the producers’ problems, his costs, his feed situa­ tion, etc,, before any future egg contracts are made with our Allied Nations. The Special Products Board asked the Poultry Industry Committees of the provinces to ap­ point a producer to represent their province on the national commit­ tee,” Mr. Whyte'said. ; “We are not going to attempt at this time to get housing costs, la­ bour costs, depreciation costs or in­ terest on investment. As it is felt that from authentic feed costs, and out of pocket expenses, a much stronger argument can be present­ ed to the special products board. No cost of 'production survey is en­ tirely free from mistakes or loop­ holes; therefore the fewer loop­ holes that exist in any cost of pro- duction plan, makes the presenta­ tion of the facts carry much more weight. „ “The Huron County Federation was preparing records to proceed on egg costs. It was decided then that the Poultry Industry 'Committee should work with the Huron Fed­ eration to conduct a survey, there­ by eliminating duplication of this work. The Poultry Industry Gom- mitte'e will take care of the expens­ es incurred in getting the records completed.” “Mr. Archie Morgan, of Usborne, our County Federation President, has consented to do the field work for 'this survey. He will contact the president’ in each township who will recommend the poultry producers in their townships to do this work. Once the producer agrees he will have the plan explained to him per­ sonally by Mr. Morgan, and will be visited each week by Mr. Morgan so that the records can be kept up to date and made as accurate as possible,” he continued. “The plan is as simple as it is possible to make it,”- Mr. Whyte said, “and yet give as much infor­ mation as we can get in -such short time. We are attempting to get the feed consumption and feed cost’ and any actual cash expenses so that we may determine how much the feed May Sae- and con- and out-of-pocket expense cost is per dozen eggs. Then we are going to get the grading results and re­ ceipts, so that we not only get the average price received per dozen eggs, but get a (picture of how the farm’s flock’s eggs are grading. A place is’* provided in the sheet for recording mortality, poultry . sold, poultry eaten and eggs eaten on farm, along with a daily egg cording column, “We are, therefore, going start on May I to get the cost the month of May. Then will be necessary for the opera­ tor to count the number of hens in the pen on April 30; weigh out feed and keep separate in bags, barrels or boxes, but it must be kept sepa­ rate and each time any is added it must be weighed and marked down on the sheet, “Then all the eggs produced for the month of May must be sold to a Registered Egg Grading Station and grading slips kept and recorded on the record sheet provided. When the records are completed, each co­ operator will get a summary of the survey* so that he will be able to compare his results with the aver­ age result.” Pointing to the necessity of know­ ing the cost of production, Mr, Whyte recalled that it took the packers exactly one week to find out that they were losing money on beef, under the price ceiling policy, and they immediately lowered the price and actually stopped buying when they could not buy for that price. “Now we, as poultry producers, are selling eggs through the regu­ lar marketing channels to the Spec­ ial Products Board under contract. Now then, under this contract are you making any money on your poultry project?” he asked, “or are you losing money, or just breaking even? Records properly kept will te,ll a large part of the story. Now that a producers’ committee has been formed to .present the produc­ ers’ side of the story, we must have all the facts and opinions that we can possibly get, so that when we join in a meeting with the Special Products Board, the presentation we make will ‘be as authentic as it is possible to make. “While it will be only possible at this time to supervise the records on 100 farms, I will be most pleas­ ed to co-operate .with any egg pro­ ducer who would Tike to keep the records himself and send them in when completed,” Mr. . Whyte said. “Therefore, I repeat, any poultry farm flock egg producer, who is selling his eggs to a registered egg grading station and who would like to keep these records for the month of May, please write to Mr. Morgan or to W. L. Whyte, R.R. 2, Sea­ forth, who will send yon the re­ cord sheets and explanation sheets regarding same. to for it the re- TIRE LIFE AW MT MAXIMUM MIIXAMI good /Year s s A GUARANTEED PREFERRED SERVICE EXTENSION - t! ® Sure, you can make your tires last longer by observing the simple rules.

ROLFE, WAR PINCERS MOVEMENT on Telephones ON the one hand, demand for new telephone installations — especially in residences — has been greater than ever before. On the other, the materials which go into telephone equipment and the equipment itself have both been largely diverted to military and emergency use. Result: a serious shortage of facilities to take care of civilian requirements—of wire, cable, switchboards, instruments. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has charged us with the responsibility of rigidly restricting telephone installations. We have no alternative. From now on, new installations can be made only where they can be justified in the light of the war emergency and to the extent that facilities are available. In appealing for your cooperation, we urge that you ask for a telephone only where such recognized essential service is involved. And to all telephone users, we again stress the need for consistent practice of “Wartime Telephone Tactics’’-^— your contribution to keeping telephone lines clear for urgent war business. These things may look trift telephone calls, they
