Already 28 Farm Forums have met oiva single Monday night to discuss problems pertinent to rural people. Several forums are slow in sending in their reports to the Ontario Secretary. These should be mailed the day after ‘the meeting. On the subject The Paper”, farm generally, that the Press and the Stratford Beacon- Herald were doing a splendid job in the County as dailies, in providing local, world news and markets, that our owned farm papers 1 terest to the whole were widely read. Weeklies, however, a bit of criticism. Forum of Weekies and Staff. Elimville thinks the Exeter Times-Advo- eate a very good all-round Weekly but suggest they would prefer less crime and more good deeds published in our Daily papers.

The County Projectionist will be pleased any Forum meeting sizeable crowd can gather where a suitable room for jecting can be provided, quests should be sent in in advance. Starting the first of the year, Huron County Federation will attempt t0 place the Rural Co­ operator in every farm home in the County. This will be done from the County office with the assistance of the Township Fed­ erations and County Co-opera­ tives, we hope. Farmers, unable to secure suitable farm labour, may now do so through their Federation, working in conjunction with the Colonization and Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railway, and the Dom­ inion Government, There are quite a number of agricultural workers desirous of coming to Canada as agricultural workers, but since they have not funds required by the Department to emigrate to Canada, they need to have a sponsor. Some of these people, both single and married are British subjects, others are Scandinavians and other Baltic Countries. While taking no direct re­ sponsibility, we will endeavour to get as much reliable infor­ mation as possible about these emigrants. It will be necessary for the farmer desiring this help to sponsor their entry and to be prepared to give them, at least, one year’s employment at prevailing wages and living ac­ commodation. Farmers desiring help by Spring should make ap­ plication early. The annual meeting of the Ontario Federation -will be held in Toronto, January 5, 6 and 7, in the King Edward Hotel, with the Juniors and Women holding their meetings the first day. Hotel reservations should be made early. This year, Huron County Fed­ eration will sponsor half the expenses of up to three Juniors in each Township wishing to. attend one of the Short Courses at the Ontario Agricultural Col­ lege this winter.

With Harold Wolfe leading the way with 276, 275 and 265, the Hot Shots had little trouble taking two of three games, plus the aggregate score. Even Wolfe’s three fine scores, though, could not surpass Glenn Robinson's high of 299, which led all bowl­ ers in that department for the evening. The high individual score for the Whizz Bangs was 264, turned in by Jack Whil- smith, and Spike Armstrong had 246. In the second match, played on alleys 3 and 4, the powerful Pinpoppers bowled over the highly touted Butchers. The Pin­ poppers, humbled last week by the Cellar Rats, were not to be denied Monday night. Although the scores turned in by the Pin­ poppers were not astronomical, they were all consistent, and were enough to trounce Fred Darling’s team, Captain Darling led ’ ’ Ken 203. nice poppers- Pink Pryde was high man with 227. In the battle between the Cel­ lar Rats and the Big Six, the team of Stan Frayne blew wide open again and lost all seven points to Don Traquair’s Cellar Rats. Captain Traquair led his team with 225, while Gord more ran second with 20'2. Ellerington led the B.S. with 203, while Don Case up with 197 to take second hon­ ours. Standings: Hot Shots ...

The ladies’ high is held by Shirley Darling with 290. On December 1, Ken Hockey bowled 389. Rather let that score stand the month of (December, Sweitzer paid Ken $5.00, threw out his score, and then put up another $5.00 for the highest December score. As we men­ tioned in the' preceding para­ graph, the men’s high is 317 and the ladies’ is 290. THERE HAVE been a lot of suggestions as to how this Exe­ ter Men’s Bowling League should be run, but the best idea put forward yet, is to throw out the first part of the schedule and start over fresh after Xmas.
