Huron County
Crop Report
By G. W. MONTGOMERY
Monday’s ice storm, followed
by four days of heavy snow,, fall
and high winds, has almost com
pletely blocked off county- and
township roads. Many meetings
and events had to bp cancelled
with the Huron County Seed Fair
being postponed until Friday and
Saturday, March 12 and 13.
Many areas are still without
hydro and telephone service and
all high schools in the county
were closed some time during the
week.
Although plowing and digging
out operations are underway it
will be the middle of next week
before the county and township
roads will be opened to traffic.

If you have children between the

passing up one of the greatest

Let’s take a good look at what
this club work means:
1. Your children, will meet

2. They will learn many things
about agriculture that you your
self learned the hard way.
3. This training is given by
skilled men and women who
were specially trained for this
work.
4. By being in these clubs,
your children will receive special
benefits only obtainable in this
way.
5. In many of their projects
they will learn teamwork so es

6. Your “Sally” or “Frankie”

Tractors Menace
To Farm Safety
Monday ' night’s farm forum
broadcast, “Safety on the Farm”,
was interesting and instructive.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mel
vin King, 31 members of Fair-
field Forum met for discussion.
Members agreed that the trac
tor is the greatest single cause
of accidents on most farms be
cause of the speed at which it is
run and because high types of
tractors are easily upset, due to
the wheels being set so close.
Those used to driving tractors
get so accustomed to them, they
often do not take the necessary
precautions.
Some drivers, when changing
speed, do so by holding their
foot on the clutch. A jolt can
easily dislodge the foot and ac
celerate the speed instantly.
A mirror in which the driver
could watch operations behind
him, would prevent the driver
taking his eyes off the front and
running into gopher holes or
caved-in wells, as has been done
by some.
Farm Forums could work on
a project to prevent * accidents
and improve farm safety by hav
ing accident items from the daily
paper read and by making post
ers emphasizing a timely warn
ing, one of which would be
shown each week.
Education along these liues is
the only way to prevent accidents
and efforts to this end must
never cease.
The next meeting will be held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Haist.
Blyth Joins Fight
For Courthouse
The village of Blyth has joined
the fight for Huron County’s new
courthouse.
The village council drafted a
resolution at its recent meeting
that “if there should be a change
in location, the village of Blyth
should receive some considera
tion as a possible location for
the new courthouse, as formerly
the Huron County registry office
was located in Blyth”.
According to old timers, Blyth
was originally chosen to be the
county town site.
♦ “Clinton’s claim about being
the ‘hub’ of Huron County Is also
10 miles off centre if they will
get out a county map and ex
amine it, the old timers said.
“The hub of Huron is about 10
miles due north of Clinton which
brings one ‘smack’ into the cen
tre of Blyth, so there’s no reason
why Blyth shouldn’t throw its
hat into the ring in an effort to
locate a new building here.”
A suitable site could be made
readily available right in the cor
poration, and as far as road
travel is concerned there are
good roads eomitig into Blyth
from all directions.

So much that’s new... and completely proved!
You’ll find that the Dodge Royal V-8 brings you the
finest of new car features for 1954... a combination
of the “dome-shaped” combustion chamber 150
h.p. Red Ram engine, famous for power and economy
... and PowerFlite, the smoothest and most powerful
of fully automatic transmissions. No other car offers
you this great performance combination at so low a
price.
You’ll be frankly amazed at the control you have
over this Dodge Royal-—how it clings to curves, and
holds the roughest roads with smooth-riding ease.
You’ll like its beauty and luxury, too. New chrome
treatment increases that longer, lower look . . .
colourful two-tone interiors have wide, restful
chair-high seats... floors are covered by rich, deep
wool-type carpeting. Twelve new body colours, in
lustrous baked enamel can be adapted into 48 fwo-
tone colour combinations.
A road-test will convince you that the Dodge Royal
offers you more of the finer qualities you want—
Unequalled at the price—plus traditional Dodgo
