Huron Federation Eighty-eight bundles, for the 88 rural routes in Huron county, were mailed at Clinton Wednesday of last week by the executive of the Huron 'Federation of Agriculture to take to 6>000‘ rural families in this county the outline of the proposed co-operative health plan which is being sponsored by the federation. Proposed regulations under which the county federation expects to operate its new scheme would pro vide, according to the prospectus mailed last week, that the plan op erate through member groups. Groups entitled to enter the plan would include .farm forums, wom en’s institutes, church organiza tions, professional business, and fraternal groups, and school sec-; tions. To enter the scheme, a group would have to apply for hospitaliza tion services for ten members, or for 40 pel’ cent, of its membership, whichever is the greater. The proposed rates, for standard ward room service in a hospital, are $5.70 a year for a single mem ber, $11.40 for a husband and wife with children under 16, and $3.00 for each dependent child over 16 but under 21 years of age. For semi-.private room service, the an nual membership in the plan would cost $8.50 for a single member, or $17 for a family, including husband, wife, and children under 16. The plan would provide hospital ization costs, except for pregnancy and childbirth, for up to 31 days in a membership year, up to a rate of $3.00 a day for standard ward service, or $4.50 a day for semi- .private rooms. The scheme would also meet the costs of operating room fee, use of anaesthesia equip ment, ordinary drugs and medica tions, electrocardiograph films, basal metabolism tests, and emer gency service immediately follow ing an accident. The scheme would also provide maternity benefits for 12 days’ hos pitalization, if both husband and wife had been members under the plan for one full year -preceding the date of admission to hospital. Each day of a baby’s hospital care would count as one half day against the mother’s 31 days of hospitalization.

BRAY CHICK HATCHERY Phone 246, Exeter Eric Carscadden, Manager Wa rns Canada May Lose British Bacon Market The 11 th annual convention of the Canadian Federation of Agri culture which met at Winnipeg began consideration of resolutions concerning national livestock and feed grain policies after hearing Sir Andrew Jones, head of the British food mission in Ottawa, urge Canadian farmers to maintain their bacon trade with the United Kingdom. Sir Andrew warned in an address that Canada is “definitely in dan ger of throwing its overseas bacon market away. “Denmark and other European countries are certain to make a de termined effort to recover their .position in the British market, The trend of the last two years has in dicated that Canada is going to al low them to do so at the expense of its trade. Bacon production has de- ■ dined by 50 per cent since 1944 and for this sharp fall to the farmers in the prairie provinces are entirely responsible. “Experience has shown how un sound is an economy 'which is based on one product. The day may come when your incomes from grain will not be sufficient to meet your needs. You will then regret having yield ed your market for bacon to your competitors.” 'Sir Andrew said that Canada at the moment was in a favored posi tion if she wished to continue her bacon trade with Great Britain. “It remains for the farmers to pay heed to the advice of their government officials and to respond to the fin ancial encouragement extended to them.” At present 'Canadian trade with Britain in the field of wheat, bacon and dairy products was protected by agreements extending, in some cases, until 1950. The possibility would have to be kept in mind, he said, “but there is still no reason I can see why Canada should .not re tain her position as Great Britain’s largest supplier of wheat.” Authorized Ontario Motor League Garage WRECKER SERVICE DAY AND NIGHT i I i !Keep Them Fit With Sol-Min This mineral is recommended by leading experts in animal nutrition.

The annual meeting of the Children’s Aid Society of Huron county was held recently in Gode rich. A. P. Wilkes of Goderich was elected president. Other officers chosen were: Vice-President, Rev. L. H. Turner; secretary, A. M. Robertson; treasurer, A. H. Ers kine. Mrs. iM. Chaffee, superintendent gave a resume of the work under taken by the society in the .past five years. The child protection cases In 1946 numbered 39, ‘ten more than in 1945. The number of wards, 39, had not increased, and the total | number of children in care was 83. There are 40 non-wards and 26 adoptions, were completed. “Our unmarried parent work has steadily increased. In 1940 we had 24 cases, in 1946 there were 59.” Mrs. Chaffee concluded her re port by expressing her appreciation of the assistance given by the county council committee, the Lions Clubs, school nurses and doctors, and the Children's Aid Society board of Huron county. Reeve Berry Reminisces Reminiscing while attending the annual mayors’ banquet in ‘St. Marys recently, Reeve Hugh Berry, of Usborne, said that the things Huron County was interested in at the present time were health and .hospitalization, and reforestation. Only recently the county council had turned the reforesting of lands over to the Province with the idea that such a project would eventu ally 'help every citizen in the coun try and the towns as well. Right now court cases were pending on account of this law which forbade the cutting of trees under twelve inches. Two men who bought tim ber lands were standing to lose ten 'thousand dollars and w/ould probably be going to court over it. Reminiscing regarding iSt. Marys, Mr. Berry recalled the horse and buggy days when he as a child of five wanted to go to Barnum and Bailey’s Circus in St. Marys. His father said he could go if he walked and was back home by noon. He did the five mile trip both ways and <as a result of being home by noon, was treated to the circus show at night. That was something he had never forgotten. i SPIC 'N SPAN . . . Your old car can have that new car look . . . after a visit to us.

Last year there was little maple syrup on the market and it is expected that with the lifting of rationing more syrup will be made. Labor and fuel for making syrup are hard to obtain and more expensive than formerly and this will determine largely the price to be charged. A young man once approached the Rev. S.

We have often heard people say, “I don’t en joy meals during Lent. They get so tiresome.” Yet we know others who look forward to interesting meatless dishes. We contend that fish dinners can be delicious and exciting. It’s all in the way the fish is cooked—pro viding, of course, that the fish is good quality and fresh! Most of the people who do not like fish have formed that dislike because fish has been badly ‘booked or always served in the same old ways. You might try, for instance, 'the dish a friend of mine calls her Len ten special. It is. a tasty combina tion of minced onion and fish fillets in a cream sauce, baked in layers in a Casserole. Another special way to prepare fillets is to cook them in parchment paper. Thb parchment paper Or .butter wrapping holds in all the juices. A homey but as fine a dish as you would ever want to eat is codfish cakes with tomato sauce. If they are served with cut beans and a grated carrot salad even the most finicky gourmet will enjojy them.
