However, I said last week I would have some news for boys and girls on the Kids' Karnival to be held in the arena Friday, February 26, at 7:45 p.m. Any hoy or girl of public school age win the area of Exeter may participate. There, will be a first and second prize in most events and everyone should compete in the costume events. Get mom and dad to help you with your mas­ querades. This event is a two-and-one- half hour show of attractions one does not usually see at the ordin­ ary carnivals. Such as the roman chariot race where three boys get together and built a chariot from a sleigh. One driver is needed and two horses (boys) to pull the chariot . . thrills and spills galore. Then there is the wheelbarrow race. One boy folds his skates and holds them to his chest while laying in a prone position. His partner holds his legs, wheel­ barrow fashion, and pushes him around. Another is “King of the Mats’’ or wrestling on ice, Mats, are placed on the ice at the centre of the arena. Four boys enter this improvised ring and at the sound of the gong a wild melee ensues as they all wrestle each other. Any part of the boy’s body touching the ice outside the ring disqualifies the boy. Last man in the ring is naturally king. Other events are obstacle races, tug-of-war, wee wee hockey, re­ lay races, musical chairs and the Exeter Citizens’ Band. It’s a night of fun for all.

The opinion expressed was that all beef and pork, sold out of butcher shops, should be stamp­ ed with the grade it represents. Also that all vegetables, includ­ ing potatoes, carrots, beets, tur­ nips, etc., sold out of stores should come under a dominion­ wide grading law. In answer to the question of carrying grades through from producer to consumer, the mem­ bers felt that all beef cattle bought from the farmer should be paid for on a dressed basis and a marketing scheme set up similar to the one for handling hogs. These cattle would be grad­ ed at the packing plant and paid for accordingly. All vegetables should be bought from the grower by grade. Too many of inferior quality are stored .-in storage plants and when ready for pack­ aging, tons of first quality vege­ tables are contaminated and spoiled for proper grading. Discuss Marketing Members of Parr Line Forum, who met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Weido on Monday evening, discussed what type of marketing and production policy would be best for Canadian farm­ ers. The conclusion reached was that a world food bank, under supervision of the F.A.O., would be the solution to the problem of farm surpluses. Since it will be some time before this would be in operation, it was suggested that farmers continue their nor­ mal production and set up mar-, keting boards, similar to the’ bean marketing board where a deduction is taken from each bushel sold. If this money is needed to stabilize prices, it is used; if not, it is paid back to the farmer. It was felt that only in cases of emergency, should a two-price system be used as na­ ture will take care of the sur­ pluses in due time. In discussing the future of the Huron County court, it was un­ animously agreed that it should be retained as an historic site and the possible location of the Huron County Museum. Winners at euchre, which fol­ lowed the meeting, were Mrs. Gordon Coleman and Mr. Chas. Robinson, with consolation prizes going to Margaret Mousseau and Carl Reichert. This Week In Whalen By MRS. F.
