Until two weeks ago she had been in fairly good health. She was born at Zurich, the daugh­ ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Reinhardt, ott June 14, 1851, and following her marriage on iF’ebruary 22, 1870, she resided in Blake until going to Fullarton in September 1936.

Mather officiating. Temporary en­ tombment was made in Woodland Mausoleum r C.F.R.B. on the Air for 20 Years By Jim Hunter CFIRB is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary. I look at the station through the eyes of ten thousand newscasts. I have had a better than ring-side seat to watch its growth, by reason of long and close affiliation, and yet I am not and never have been a member of the staff. I am like an old member of the family, welcomed to the inner circle, yet free from blood ties, which so often upset perspective. A friend of the family does not judge by the daily frictions and differences of opinion. He judges by the broad advances made iby the family as a whole. To me CFRB has always seemed like a true and vigorously healthy family group, where the respective members sit down on occasion and hold a forum where views are ex­ pressed with utmost candor; where Dad and Mother sit back as um­ pires and counsellors, and often suck in their breath at the startling thoughts given voice by their off­ spring. One afternoon shortly after I started to broadcast over OF'RB, I was sitting in the smoker of an Ottawa-bound train, when a fellow­ passenger sidled over to me and in­ troduced himself as “Ted” Rogers, tlie founder of the station, and the man who gave the world the batteryless radio. “You’re Jim Hunter, aren’t you?” he asked. I nodded my head. It was back in the •days when car radios were making their debut. Toward the end of our trip he asked if I had one in my held on Fellow- CRED1TON EAST Mrs. Wm, Bender, who been in hospitals for the past three months, returned home urday and is improving nicely ar© glad to report. , Mr. and Mrs. Alec Hamilton Barry, of Grand Bend, spent week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lewis and Mr. Wein.

I said that I 'hadn’t. We parted at the station, A few days later upon going down to the garage where my car’ was kept the attend­ ant informed me that a radio com­ pany had taken my car out daring the afternoon and had returned it with a radio playing in it. It was all a surprise to me until I noticed the name of the radio. It was a “Rogers”, and then I recalled my conversation with “Ted”. Next morning I called to express my appreciation. He said, “Glad you like it. I enjoy your newscasts. Thanks for calling.” The late Mr. Rogers in that little gesture has always typified CFRB to me. Not too strong on words, there with the goods. The much like the Mother ments. helping hand to the members of the staff, but never getting pater­ nal. Always willing to listen to new ideas. The there must foe a constant striving for progress. I doubt if associates of any other Station in Canada do better finan­ cially than the men and women of CFRB, and yet the company pays its shareholders a tidy dividend each year, It is not a closed corpor­ ation. It is owned by literally hun­ dreds of shareholders, who 'have •found that by supporting a solid­ front of well being among the mem­ bers of the staff, they can count on more duction, dividend OFRB true sense of the word.

Park Board Meets The first meeting of the Community Park Board was in the Council Chamber on Friday evening with 'Cook, Brown and Row- cliffe being absent.

Considerable discus­ sion took place when the secretary presented a sketch o<f the proposed Park about the entrance, seating accommodation, admission or gate percentages to be charged for the privileges, also the proposed plant­ ing of trees. The secretary was in­ structed to make arrangements with R. E. Shaddick for the purchase of an entrance re the lots owned by him. R.

Congregational Meeting At the annual congregational meeting of the Hensall United Church on Wednesday, Jan. >29th, a pot luck supper was held at 6.30 ■p.m. under the auspices of the W.A. which was followed by community singing led by Miss Greta Lammie at the piano. Rev. iR. A. Brook op­ ened the annual .meeting by a scrip­ ture reading and prayer. tMr. Edi­ son Forrest was chosen as secretary for the evening. Rev. Brook address­ ed the congregation thanking them for their successful work during the year 1946, as every organization of the church had an increase over the year 1945. The various reports were then given and were both very encouraging and interesting to hear and to know how each organization was progressing. Between the vari­ ous reports, Miss 'Greta Lammie played a violin selection accompan­ ied by Miss Gladys 'Luker at the piano, who also played a lovely solo in memory of the thirteen mem­ bers who passed away during the past year. The number was entitled "In the Sweet Bye and Bye.” Mrs. Maude Hedden and Mrs. Geo. Hess sang a duet accompanied by Miss Gladys Luker at the piano. At the close of this part of the .meeting Rev. Brook called on Mr. Geo. Fol­ lick for a reading. After a few brief remarks Mr. Follick called Rev. and Mrs. Brook and Mr. James iSmillie to the platform. After a short ad­ dress to Mr. and Mrs. Brook, Mr. Smillie presented them with a purse of money as a slight token of the appreciation of the congregation to them for their_ faithful services in the past. Although taken by surprise •Mr. Brook thanked the congregation for their kindness to himself and Mrs. Brook, and then called on Rev. Sanderson to speak a few words after which the meeting closed with the Benediction. Joe: "So you asked him if you could marry his daughter. Wasn’t he surprised?” Bill: "Surprised!

The Huron hog men were agreed that the premiums paid for quality produc­ tion should be such as to give greater encouragement to top qual­ ity than does the present govern­ ment bonus rate of $3,00 for Grade A, and $1.5i0 for Grade Bl. Several took the stand that the premium for Bls should be wiped out. "I see no reason now to bonus the Bl hog,” said Delmer Skinner of Usborne township. “It's the A hog you want.” “We should have a large premi­ um on As, and forget all other premiums,” said Murray Grainger of Stanley township. "We’re going to the effort of forming a hog pro­ ducers’ association to produce bet­ ter hogs. If it’s going to take dol­ lars to make the farmers pay atten­ tion, then that's what we should do. The A grade of hogs should have a foig enough premium to in­ duce farmers to produce them;—~j cut the premium on Bl hogs, prob­ ably it should be cut off altogether,” Advocates Greater Spread “I would make the suggestion,” said Jackson Woods of Usborne, who introduced the discussion mium rates, "that there be spread between the A hog Bl hog.” “I think it’s up to us in said William Turnbull of Brussels, chairman of the Huron hog produ­ cers committee, “to advance the production of grade A hogs. A lot of people would rather buy a hog for show than one that on test has shown it can be graded out ‘A’. “Money is the language the far­ mer talks,” Mr. Turnbull said. “It’s the dollars and cents argument that will make the farmer see eye to eye with you.” The tendency of recent years to increasing specialization in hog­ raising creates one of the barriers to top-quality production, suggested •Melville Dennis of Grey township. It is becoming more and more the case, he said, that the man who breeds hogs does not feed them for market, and the man who makes a business of getting hogs ready for market does not carry out his own breeding program, ibut buys little pigs. “I think farmers are working uphill,” Mr. Dennis said. “It’s no use trying to make Grade A out of fat hogs.” Suggests Two-Way Campaign LeRoy G. Brown, agricultural representative for Huron, suggested that the campaign for quality in hogs should be carried out in two directions; not only should, better breeding stock be encouraged, he said, but farmers who are now pro­ ducing Bl hogs should be interested in putting them to market as Grade A. “It can be done,” iMr. B-rown said, referring to the fact that many hogs fall back from A to Bl because they are allowed to go overweight. “If we delve into a strictly breed­ ing program,” Mr. Brown said, “it’s going to take time, and in the mean­ time your bacon contract with Brit­ ain will 'Suffer. Personally, I feel that if the bonus on Bl were taken off and put on the A, we’d get a lot more As. iSteps should be taken, it was urged by William Turnbull, to get government which are offered at community sales. There have been many cases, he said, of animal diseases being spread as a result of contact at sales. “'I believe it would be a good idea,” Mr. Turbnull said, “for them to be inspected before they can be sold. It seems too bad that some one who has never seen rhinitis or bull-nose should innocently walk out of a community sale and find ( he has taken the disease home to run through his own stables and herd.” The hog producers joined with the members of the Huron County Yorkshire Breeders Club, which also held its annual meeting in I Clinton Wednesday, to hear an ad­ dress by George Gear, agrcuiltural representative for Bruce, on hog producers’ organizations in Bruce county. The hog producers voted, at their own annual meeting, to continue to function for another year as a subsidiary of the Huron F'edera-1 tion of Agriculture, rather than set' up a separate organization. Mem­ bers of the hog producers’ com­ mittee of the federation are Wil­ liam Turnbull, chairman; Bert Lobb of Clinton and Charles Coultes of Belgrave, vice-chairmen; Victor Roy of Londesboro, secretary-treas­ urer. The federation has advanced to the committee $225 for interim financing, until the county hog producers begin to receive a share ’ of the two' goes to the Association.

Want Fann Help Foreseeing possible labor short­ ages on farms again next summer and during the harvest season, the •federation passed a resolution, which will be forwarded to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, asking that more labor be brought into the county next summer. During last year a number of German prisoners of war and a few Japanese were available for summer and harvest work in the county and it is expected that a considerable amount of difficulty will be faced this year, particularly in the southerly part of the county in the sugar beet area, now that this source of labor supply has been cut off. The Ontario Federation of Agri­ culture will be asked to present Huron County’s labor problems to the Ontario Department of Labor with a request that as much help as possible be sent to the county. Warble Fly Campaign Plans for extension of the warble fly campaign, which was started on an experimental scale in Gbder- ich township last year, were dis­ cussed during the meeting and the bo- e has been expressed that every township will join in the campaign. The federation members were told that only 45 spray machines are available for the entire Prov­ ince of Ontario this year and that orders placed within the next two weeks it any priority is expected. It is hoped that eventually township will purchase its spray equipment.
