Federation* of Agriculture News The Executive and Directors of .Huron County Federation held a meeting on 'Saturday afternoon January .28, 1950, in the Agri­ cultural hoard room, Clinton, Ontario. It was decided to hold their next meeting on February 21, 1950, and have two voting d e.l e g a t e s present from each township as it is planned to dis­ cuss finances. It has been proposed that one- fifth of a mill levy is not suffic­ ient income to support the Fede­ ration work, and it has been suggested that this levy be changed to .two-fifths of a mill. It was also suggested that the division of the money between the township .and the county be changed. , The Federation will again hold a Field Day and publish a Year book. -One invitation has been received to hold the annual pic­ nic in Goderich again this year. No action was taken on this in­ vitation as it was considered ad­ visable to wait and see if other invitations are received. ■ A delegation from Huron County Federation of Agriculture is attending the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture being held at Niag­ ara Falls, Ontario, this week. * * * * Over fifty Junior Farmers from Huron County attended the Agricultural s h o r t c o u r s e at Guelph, Ontario, held early in January. They reported the course was well worth attending. We cannot estimate the value of this training, as it should lead to improved farming in our county as these young men put into practice on there own farms the things they have been taught by these educational experts. * * * * Huron, county leads all coun­ ties in the iProvince in amount of Co-Operative life insurance sold during 1'949. $118,0.00.00 of insurance was placed by Co-Op. life agents in Huron County dur­ ing the past year. In Auto In­ surance Huron County jvas sec­ ond highest in number of ve­ hicles insured with six hundred and sixty six insured up to the end of 1949; and this county was first in potential coverage. This shows that Co.-Op. insur­ ance is definitely a populai* com­ pany and must be what . the Huron County farmer has been looking for. The annual congregational mooting of the Crediton United Church was hold in the Sunday School auditorium on Tuesday, (January 19. Rev, 'H. F. Currie was in charge of the meeting and (MiSS Rosalie Mack was appointed to act - as secretary.

Baker, showed a decided increase in the amount sent to Branch Secretaryr The Baby Band re­ port was given by 'Rosalie Mack in the absence of 'Mrs. Currie, and W.M.S. Reserve Fund re­ port by Mrs, R. Hill. The Wo­ men’s Association had a very successful financial year, as was revealed in the treasurer’s report which was read by Mrs. Garfield Hill, who reported a large cash balance on hand plus a Victory B'ond.

Ann St.* Exeter Phono 855W My, what a wonderful time we had last week, just three days of school. Wednesday morning we were given a holiday to enable the workmen and staff .to have the rooms ready for the big opening in the afternoon. About two o'clock, people began finding their places in the . auditorium for the highlights of the after-' noon. The place was jammed to capacity with people standing in the halls. The program was opened by the singing of the National An­ them. ■Dr. H, H, Cowan, chairman of the Exeter District High School Board, very capably gave the chairman’s address in which numerous facts and figures of the new school were expressed along with congratulations to everyone who helped to make this school and opening possible. The musical side of the pro­ gram was supplied by the School Choir under the direction of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sturgis at the piano. The choir, consisting of approximately fifty students, ren­ dered three beautiful numbers, namely — “Verdant Meadows,” “Some Enchanted Evening” and “Bless This House.” Rev. iH. J. Snell presented the School Bible on behalf of the Trustees and Ratepayers’ As­ sociation to our principal, Mr, Sturgis. Next, Mr. E. L. Mickle, Vice- Chairman of the Board, intro­ duced Mr. Harland Steele, of Paige and Steele, the architects of the new school, to the audi­ ence. Mr. Steele then gave a fit­ ting address showing his ap­ preciation on .behalf of Mr. Paige and himself, that the Exeter Dis­ trict Board had chosen them as their a^hitects for the new build­ ing. The introduction of the Hon. Leslie Frost, 'Premier of Ontario, to the audience as the principal Speaker for the occasion, .was given hy Mr. Tlios. Pryde M.L.A. Mr, Frost then stepped for­ ward and congratulated the town and surrounding .district for their enterprise on pushing the new school through to completion, He spoke of t li e a m o u n t of money paid out for education,' twenty-five cents out of every tax dollar in Ontario. The ob­ jective was to make education available to every boy and girl in Ontario, .so that they may be better fitted for life and thus make better citizens. Other speeches were made by Mr. Gray, representing the De­ partment of Education, and Mr. Cecil Johnston, Warden of Huron County. Mr. R. N. 'Creech pre­ sented the trowel, which ,had been given to him at the corner­ stone laying, to the new school. The building was dedicated .by Rev, Getz, Dashwood, in a very impressive manner. Mr. Sturgis, cur principal, then closed the ceremonies .with a very suitable address stating that the school offered a great chal­ lenge and he hoped that both the staff and the students would put forth their best efforts to make it a success. After the program, the people were shown through the entire school with the aid of iguides. The school was opened for inspection Wednesday evening at eight o’clock. Again guides took groups around the school and pointed out all the features. It was estimated that approximately two thousand toured , the new Exetei' District High (School dur­ ing the day.* * * * Thursday, the Athletic Society held a “Sock Hop” in the new gym. The student's deposited their shoes at the door and danced in their socks to the •musjc of ♦ Glenn Miller, Sammy Kaye and all their favourites. Our only regret was that the dance was too short as the buses came .early to take us home.* * * * Friday we enjoyed all the comforts of home—we had a •holiday. Hon. Leslie Frost de­ clared Friday a holiday tot the students to remember the Of­ ficial Opening of their new school.♦ * * ♦ This Thursday the Senior Bas­ ketball teams play Mitchell in our own gym, and Friday the Juniors travel to <St. Marys. Good luck and we’ll tell you all about it next week. The Voice Of Temperance .... This paragraph has often pointed out the dilemma of alco­ holism. There is a happier al­ ternative and that is sobriety. Sobriety is not the cause of 80% of oux- crime .as alcoholism is. Sobriety does not make a car drivei- a killer on the highway as alcoholism does. Sobriety does not rob a man of his freedom and make him a heaten slave as alcoholism does. Sobriety is the happy state of those who nevei’ touch , alcohol. Say no— to al­ cohol always and everywhere.

Total fees collected for the Fund and repayments to the Fund from January 1st to December 31st, 1949, amounted to..«............... .$638,430.37 Judgments paid out of the Fund from July 1st, 1947, to December 31st, 1949, amounted to ........................................ $630,644.03 As there is not now sufficient in the Fund to pay judgments for a period of a year, an Unsatisfied Judgment Fund Fee of 50c will be collected from each person to whom is issued a 1950 operator’s or chauffeur’s licence.
