Dissatisfied with what they oalled “unfair” treatment by the local company, the small group which attended the annual meet­ ing decided to call a special meet­ ing in an effort to get the back­ ing of a majority of growers to seek solutions to the problem. Chief complaint among the .growers was that the company was harvesting fancy quality peas hut paying only standard quality price, Up The Straw Stack! Farmers also charged that the ^company delayed planting too long in some cases forcing the grower to suffer a poor crop; and that emphasis on fast processing of peas meant that a lot of the farm­ ers’ crops went up the straw stack. Only a dozen growers were present at the annual meeting in tlie town hall but they main­ tained these complaints were general throughout the growing nrea. They said other farmers could not get to the meeting be­ cause of the busy season. District president R. E. Pooley was in charge of the meeting with H. H. G. Strang as secre­ tary. Donald Swain, secretary­ fieldman of the Ontario Vege­ table Growers Marketing Board, and Frank Parry, of Chatham, a district director on the board, were present. 'Solutions for the problems of the growers were discussed but no action taken. Compulsory pea grading involving higher prices for lighter or fancy peas was suggested as one remedy for the earljr harvesting of the crop but growers were warned by Field­ man Swain that this was a com­ plex system. Mr. Swain -said that growers should “challenge the authority of processors to have complete control over the planting and harvesting of the crop.” “Some companies,” he said, “have consistently abused their right to order peas cut to the ■disadvantage of the farmer. We will have to devise some measure of protecting farmers from this practice.” One local grower, Lome Oke, and others charged labor was ■controlling management to the detriment of the grower. Mr. Area Master Visits Lodge D.D.G.M. Murray Hodgins, of •Lucan, paid his official visit to Lebanon Forest Lodge, A. F. & A. M. Monday evening. W.M. Andy Snelgrove and his officers exemplified the first de­ gree in a manner that drew favorable comments from the dis­ tinguished guest. At the close of the business session the brethren retired to the rooms of the Eastern Star where hot beef sandwiches, tarts and coffee were served. Propose Toasts Past D.D.G.M. Thomas Pryde proposed a toast to the Queen; Past D.D.G.M. William Cann pro­ posed a toast to Grand Lodge, responded to by Bro. Hodgins, who gave an interesting account of the early history of masonry in Canada. D.D.G. Chaplain, Rev. H. J. Snell also spoke. A toast to the visitors was pro­ posed by Bro. Ted Pooley and short responses were made by Padre Mould, of the R.C.A.F., Centralia; W. Bros. W. Goodwin, of Hensail, Ray Mills, of Wood­ ham, George Paul, of Lucan, Jack Walper, of Ailsa Craig, and the candidate, Ken Bridges.

Wins Award From Ottawa Colonel E. E. Tiernan, son of Mrs. Ezra Pieman of Dashwood was honoured at an investiture In Ottawa last week. His Excellency, the Governor- General conferred on him the insignia of "Serving Brother in the Order of St. John of Jeru­ salem." Col. Tiernan has been station­ ed at Halifax tor the past three years, being in full charge of tho Eastern Command* Crowers Protests Oke said liis crop was harvested “three or four days ahead of when it should^have been so the men wouldn't have to work on Saturday or Sunday. “Labor is making “suckers” of the farmers, he said, Others agreed that the de­ mands of union for higher wages on weekends affected growers adversely since they didn’t take into consideration the fact that to preserve the crop at its best, harvesting and processing should be continuous throughout the season. Some complaints about the new heat-unit scheme of harvest­ ing and planting were voiced but most agreed that the unusual weather this summer disrupted the plan. They considered the system a good one providing it was modified to prevent too-late planting. ■Clarence Down, district direc­ tor, said growers would have to stick together to get a solution to their problems. He said he would like the support of a large number of growers to take complaints to negotiating sesi- sions with the companies. Should Consult Experts District Director Parry said growers don’t consult agriculture experts enough with their prob­ lems. He said scientists and re­ searchers at the various experi­ mental stations throughout the province were onty too willing to help farmers. Mr. Parry, who served this yeai' as a fieldman for tomatoes and sugar beet crops, indicated that many of the growers’ com­ plaints could be ironed out by taking action directly with the various companies. Mr. Parry asserted that grow­ ers should present their pro­ posals to the companies at least a month in advance of negotia- —Please turn to Page 10 Hurondale School Scene Of Service ' A service of Remembrance was conducted in Hurondale School on Sunday afternoon at which a large crowd attended.

The short (five-feet two-inch) World War I veteran patrolled the Main Street from 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. to collect over $125 for disabled servicemen and their families. Now an institution on Exeter’s Poppy Day, cheerful Fred has been selling the red cloth flowers ever since the campaign started 25 years ago. “I’ve no trouble selling Pop­ pies,” lie says. “Very few people ever refuse me—sometimes they run after me and say ‘I’ve been waiting for you, Freddie’.” I-Iis highest Poppy Day collection has been $225. One of the Legion’s most active members since the branch was formed, Fred was honored in 1950 with a life membership, one of the highest awards in the veterans’ organization. .

Zurich, Lucan, Ilderton .and St. Marys will play in a five-team grouping twhich also includes Sea­ forth. Although some observers feel the two groupings will be mote evenly matched in their present split, there are obvious disadvan­ tages to -the sot-up. The four teams will lose the big drawing cards of Lucan and Zurich While the latter two may find them­ selves in a weaker league than before. Only time will tell if the new organization is an improve­ ment. Neither leaguo has drawn up a adian Railroad Troops to get to France where he spent three years. His leg injury resulted from a fall in a shell hole. When he returned in 1919, he was one of the first to join the Great War Veterans organizations which disbanded after a few years. When the Legion was or- •ganized later, he was again one of the first to join. For several years after the war he was employed at the post office but his main occupa­ tion has been “doing odd jobs around town”. A loyal supporter of the Empire and his homeland, Fred is proud of the fact that he has seen every British monarch since Queen Victoria except for the present queen. He saw Queen Victoria in his home city of Birmingham, Eng­ land, before he came to Canada;' King Edward VII in England; King George V in France; Ed­ ward VIII in England and King George VI in London, Ontario. Fred and his wife live on Gid- ley Street west. Their family in­ cludes Gordon Wells, London; E, J. “Hap” Wells, Laverne “Doc” Wells, Nelson “Punch” Wells, Mrs. Lloyd Lindenfield, all of Exeter; and Mrs. Pat Tyler, of Grand Bend; 12 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. One daughter, Mary, died in 1935. the use of the public health nurse and the Salvation Army. Mrs. Allan Fraser and Mrs. Kenneth Johns gave reports on tlie Ontario Hospital Auxiliaries Association convention which they attended in Toronto as delegates. The theme of the convention was “Your Hospital As An Education­ al Force In Your Community”. Dr. McKinnon Phillips, Minis­ ter of Health, spoke on “Legis­ lation As It Affects Our Hospi­ tals”. Dr. Bradley in his address said: “Auxiliaries are good-will ambassadors for the hospital.” Mrs. Kenneth Johns expressed her appreciation for the co-opera­ tion she had received in the two years she has held the position of first president of the Auxiliary. Mrs. DesJardins in accepting the office said; "Our hospital is a community hospital and each communityhas a duty toward it. The secret of success is in the co-operation of the individual members and I would ask for the same co-operation Mrs. Johns has schedule yet but they plan to do so right away. Although it’s not definite, reports indicate the four- team group will play a triple schedule with an interlocking home-an-home series with the northern teams —- Orangeville, Elmira and Listowel. The other league is expected to have a double schedule, Tlw loyal hockoy ill ZtW** ich finally produced a hockey team from that town despite per­ sistent rumours that there would be none, Fans met a week ago and organized a fund-raising drive which has received enthusiastic support.

Cochrane presided over the court. Members were Reeve R. E. Pooley, Deputy-Reeve William McKenzie and Council­ lors Ralph Bailey and Edward Brady, County Assessor Alec Alexan­ der and Town Assessor Eric Cars- cadden attended. Assessment on the building of Ralph Willis, south Simcoe St,, was reduced from $2,825 to $2,400 on the basis that it was in disrepair. E. D. Bell, Q.C., appeared for the appellant. Business assessment of $100 against Simon Sweitzer was writ­ ten off because the hobby collec­ tor is no longer conducting busi­ ness from his home.

Local Mohawks Powerful Team Supporters of Exeter Mohawks started pounding the pom-poms this week as tribal officials sign­ ed up an impressive list. of braves for the 1954-55 war party. Latest star to join the club is Harry McEwan, high-scoring 31- year-old centroman of the dis­ banded Clinton Colts. McEwan is expected to team up with his old line-mate, Jim "Red” Loader, on one of Mohawk’S forward com­ binations. The two played to­ gether. with Stratford Indians several years ago. Over the weekend, Mohawk Manager Charlie Acheson signed retary of Parr Line Forum, as 27 members met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Robinson. Lorne Elford was elected presi­ dent of Elimville North Forum by the 20 members who met at the home of William Elford. Others elected were: vice-presi­ dent, Emerson Johns; secretary, Mrs. Lewis Johns, with Donald Bray as assistant. Topic for the evening was Farm Forum in the Community. What is necessary for a success­ ful forum? What contribution should it make to the commun­ ity? What is its role in relation to community organizations, to other community activities? Parr Line Forum, which was only organized last year, agreed that to be successful a forum must promote neighborliness and sociability and must be able to develop a better informed com­ munity. Owing to the fact that it is newly organized, it has had no connection with other com­ munity organizations. Elimville North m embers agreed neighborliness and socia­ bility were the best foundation for a successful forum. Its role should be to develop a better in­ formed community. It should aim to understand the agricultural problems of all parts of Canada. This group felt there should be a better understanding be­ tween urban and rural people. They would be interested to know how many urban people listen to the Farm Forum broadcasts. Com­ munity fairs are a means of shar­ ing in community activities, they agreed. Religion And Discipline Needed Ip Home: H&S A return to authority, sense of duty and discipline in the home was advocated in a panel discus­ sion held Tuesday night before some 65 parents and members of the local Home and School As­ sociation. The panel was part of a special parent-teacher night program and before the meeting, teachers re­ ceived parents of their students in their own classrooms. The panel of five members, led by Rev. Harold Snell, discussed the factors concerned with the creating of a good home. Rev. Carl Schroeder, pastor of the Bethel Reformed Church, stressed a return to recognition of authority in the home, “As the home goes, so goes society,” he said. “The home is being de­ stroyed by widespread overthrow of ethical standards, wholesale exaltation of the individual and unsound socialistic theories. Youth today is in an ethical wil­ derness.” Spread From Home He said that we need authority of Christ in home life and he felt that from the home, this recog­ nition of authority would natural­ ly spread to the community and become more firmly established in our way of life. Mrs. Howard Stewart, a Lon­ don teacher, spoke of the neces­ sity of discipline rather than punishment. She said that discip­ line meant a certain security within a child and she comment­ ed that when a happy relation­ ship exists in the home, punish­ ment is rarely needed. “The greatness which built the Empire lies to a good extent in the fact that every child grew up knowing his obligation to his God, King and Empire,” stated Elmer D. Bell in discussing the attitude in the home. He said that an important up the kid line of juniors which impressed fans in the exhibition series with Lucan. The three fast-breakiitg youngsters are Beto Restelli, 18, who played with Guelph Biltmores last year; Don ’Boom-Boom’ Gravett, 21-year-old centreman from Kitchener Green­ shirts; and Johii Trend ell, an­ other 21-year-old who played in Scotland last year and with Kit­ chener Greenshirts the year bo- fore. Other players who have inked contracts on a “share the wealth” basis for the Mohawks are Clive Wilberforce, Olayt Needham, Pete Ellis and Fernand Rousseau of RCAF Centralia; Don Fritzlcy, former Goderich player who how lives in town; Bill MussOr, Barry Doak, John Anderson, and play­ ing-coach Colle Bowman. "Red” Loader and Doug Beat­ ty, another GentraHh forward, aro expected to sign this week. Club officials are still awalt- —Please Turn to Page 10 A communication to The Times- Advocate this week charged that the existence of bottle clubs un­ der the Canada Temperance Act is not legal. The letter, from the Exeter- Hensall Branch of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, quoted an article in a recent edition of the Temperance Advo­ cate which states: “The police should track down and prosecute the operator of every ‘bottle’ club. Bottle clubs are illegal and those who operate them are committing an offence and should be brought to trial.” The letter says this statement is backed by "the best legal ad­ vice to be obtained”, Question of legality of bottle clubs in Huron and Perth coun­ ties has been a subject of con­ troversy for several years. Many clubs have been o r g a ni z e d throughout the area in the belief that they can be operated within the Act. Informed about the letter, the Crown Attorney’s office in Gode­ rich issued this statement: “Prac­ tically every bottle club in the county has been prosecuted. With one possible exception every pro­ secution of a bottle club has re­ sulted in a conviction, many Stephen Council Approves Appeal Only two appeals against the 19 55 assessment roll were heard at the court of revision of Ste­ phen township last week. The assessment of Albert Rader was reduced from $11,050 to $10,800. The appeal of Fred Turnbull was dismissed. Nomination date for the town­ ship was set for November 29 with the election, if necessary, on December 6. philosophy to pass on to our children is that they have a duty to perform rather than some­ thing to gain. On the topic dealing with en­ joying our children, Mrs. D. Southcott, final- member of the panel, felt that the loss was ours if we didn’t enjoy our children and appreciate them for their qualities as individuals. Following the panel discussion, four groups were formed of all those present to discuss questions arising from the panel’s findings. In welcoming parents to the meeting, Mr. Arthur Idle, princi­ pal of the school, invited them to discuss problems with teachers. "Our interest is as yours, to help the children become the very best of citizens. Come to us with your problems, we have problems too and perhaps between us we will be able to iron them out.” During the business portion of the meeting, Mrs, W. Ness was named to represent the group at a meeting to organize a local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society. Mrs. Schroeder was ap­ pointed as representative on the newly-formed Safety Council. Gives Grants To Charities Donations of $50 to the Hur­ ricane Relief fund, $25 to the district deputy president’s pro­ ject, and $1'0' to the I. O. O. F.

Mrs. Kay Cann took as her project last year the pur­ chase of platform rockers for the women’s sitting room at the Hur­ on County Home. On her official visit here district deputy pres­ ident, Mrs. Anne Henderson, of Seaforth, stated that her project | for the year would be to pur­ chase additional furnishings for the Home. Mrs. Gerald Campbell was nam­ ed to represent the lodge at a meeting to organize a local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society on November 29. Mrs. Glenn Fisher was appointed as repres­ entative on the newly-organized safety council.

Junior Barash counted the hat trick for Goderich. operators have been sentenced to jail terms and many have ceased operation as a result of these convictions. There has been vigor­ ous prosecution of all known offenders.” In a recent “Voice of Temper­ ance” advertisement which ap­ peared in this newspaper, police in the county were praised for their prosecution of the clubs. Number of clubs in this end of the county has not been as large as in the northern section. Clubs have been reported in Ex­ eter, Hensall and St, Joseph. Operator of a club at Grand Bend was convicted this summer and fined $75. The letter from the W.C.T.U. appears on page 2.
