BY KEITH ROULSTON The Huron Federation of Agriculture has not given up yet in its fight to gain large toll-free calling areas in the northern part of Huron County, a spokesman said Thursday night. George Underwood, RR 1, Wingham, chairman of the Federation's telephone committee said the Federation was "most disappointed at the reaction of Bell Canada" after Bell had told the Ontario Federation of Agriculture that the failture of Bell to win government approval for increases in telephone rates which the company had asked for, would mean Bell would not be able to afford to expand services for the next few years. This news seemed a blow to the attempt of the HFA to have calling areas in the northern part of the county enlarged. At present, free-calling areas in northern Huron are much smaller than elsewhere,meaning increased telephone bills for most customers. The Huron farm group began its battle last August when Harry Bakker of Londesboro asked the Federation to see what it could do to have the areas enlarged. The Federation circulated petitions in the area and found strong support, both among the people and among municipal councils. The petitions were then presented to Bell. Mr, Underwood said that Bell employed people to scrupulously go over the petitions to make sure each name was a bonafide telephone subscriber. He indicated, however, that the telephone committee had also found places where Bell made errors. "We're not through yet" Mr. Underwood said. He said the committee had arranged a meeting with Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron-Bruce and would keep fighting until it won the larger area. In other business at the August meeting of the Federation held in Clinton, the county federation approved a plan put forward by the OFA which would turn over refunds from CIAG insurance to the OFA to help pay the cost of setting up area offices such as the one in Clinton. Under the plan, the county federation would then keep all money from township' grants and levies for work within the county, rather than pass on a part to the OFA for use at the provincial level. This would mean a slight saving for the Huron Federation. The county now pays over $6000 in affiliation fees to the OFA and receives about $5700 from the CIAG. Under the new plan the OFA would get $5700. A letter was read from Grant Wallace at OFA office which clarified the situation on elm tree removal grants and income tax. Mr. Wallace had asked for a ruling from income tax officials on the grants and was told that they were not to be considered as part of a farmer's income and that expenses incurred in elm tree removal could not be considered legitimate expense. Huron will contribute funds and help staff a tent for the OFA at the International Plowing match in September near Stratford. Cancer can be beaten.

Columbia last week continued their tour of the east with visits to both Ottawa and Montreal, They arrived in Clinton on the evening of Saturday July 29 after three days and nights on the train from Victoria, the capital of B.C. which they had toured for the first day of their trip. While most of the students came from Fort St. John or Chetwynd, there were also some outsiders from as far north as Good Hope Lake near the Bennett Dam about 50 miles from the Yukon border, and as far south as Prince George and McBride. The young travellers congregated in Fort St. John and flew to Victoria with Mr, and Mrs. Dave McLaren, the escorts. Their second day, Sunday, was a free day to rest and get to know their hosts. One of the hosts had found it inipossible to carry out his intentions of offering a home to one of our guests but typically, one of the other hosts had stepped in with an offer of double accommodations, Everywhere he sought assistance to make their visit an unforgettable one, the receptionist found people eager to extend themselves. Monday morning the first tour was a quick run to the Niagara Peninsula which was punctuated with comments on the geography and geology of the areas and how they had contributed to Southern Ontario's economy and history. After a stop at Lock Three on the Welland Canal the group toured Fort George at Niagara and then drove up the Parkway to view the power plants and Niagara Falls, This visit included a ride on the Maid of the Mist and some free time to wander around and view the Falls. At 5 p.m, the bus left for Hamilton and supper and then home, While Tuesday didn't have a Mandatory program most Voyageurs and their billets went to London for a tour of the City Hall and a short talk with Mayor Jane Bigelow. The free time for lunch was put to good use by the young ladies from the northern communities who usually buy from a catalogue. The weather was good for their third day and they were back in plenty of time for the 6 p.m. dinner as guests of the Town of Clinton, Mayor Don Symons said a few words about his impressions of B.C, having just returned from holidaying there and expressed the hope that the Please turn to Page 5 S FOR THE 0 R INCONVENIENCE D R y . 1 ..------ I • ' --.. irri-__... —J--1-------1 - LI 1 • ,•-,--- ____,— IttP—E ,----- .,.- I oi If your were There selection.
