EXETER —- ONTARIO R Increase Levy To Aid Federation Twelve of the 16'townships in Huron County have approved the request of the Huron Federation of Agriculture that tax levies in aid of the Federation be increas ed from one-fifth to two-fifths mills, reported Gordon Greig, secretary of the county Federa tion. At its 1950 annual meeting, the Federation decided to seek greater revenues by asking town ship councils to collect two-fifths of a mill for .the Federation, from farm property owners. The property owner can refuse to pay the Federation assessment, by filing a written objection with his township clerk1.' Only one township, Hay, has refused to arrange the collection of two-fifths of a mill for the Federation. Hay Township Coun cil decided to keep the assess ment at one-fifth mill, where it had been. McKillop Township Council voted to make a straight cash grant of $3'50, instead of a mill rate assessment. .Stephen Town ship 'Council is reported still un decided; and no decision has been r e p 0 r t e d from Ashfield township.

On behalf of our Teen Town Council I wish to extend our thanks -to the teeners of Exeter and district for .their wonderful support- of our first Teen Town dance. As the Teeners know, our first dance was held at the Arena on Friday, May 21, with an attend ance of 110, many more than we had anticipated. By 8:10 sweet, mellow music filled the hall, but the shy Exeter boys stuck to playing cards and magazines that were supplied by the Council. Finally, the better sex (the girls that is) persuaded these shy bookworms to dance. Soon every one followed suit and the dance was well under way. There were many prizes' re ceived throughout the night for novelty dances and door prizes. Jack Doerr, the well-known town photographer, .took several pic tures which we hope to have on display at our next dance. Our next dance (which is actually supposed to be the topic of this column) will be held at the Arena Friday, May' 5. This will be a "Hard Time” dance, so slap the patches on your old jeans and join in the fun. The dance is from ,8:00 until 12:00 p.m. and the admission still re mains at twenty-five -cents. At this dance we are also go ing to have nominations of of ficers for our Teen Town. This is very important as your choice of mayor and the council may de cide the .success of your Teen Town. For this reason we ask you to get your thinking caps on and have an idea whom .you want to fill the offices of your Teen Town Council. Every week till the end of May we are having this column re served for news of our Teen Town, its members and its activ ities. Next week I’ll have a full report of our "Hard Time” dance and the nominations. , Don’t forget! Jeans are the style for May 5! So long ’til next week and thanks to everyone who helped make our first dance such a success. the» exchange problems to a greater extent than others, ow ing to the fact that over 60 per cent of Canada’s production was exported.

Vincent garage on ParkhilFs Main street early Sunday morn ing. The fire was discovered by D a v e C 1 u n e s s, an employee, shortly before 2 a.m, Within 10 minutes of phoning in the alarm, the Parkhill fire brigade had their hose lines in position. The flames raced quickly through the old structure, and it was with difficulty that they were prevented from spreading to surrounding buildings. Jets of water from hose lines, some from the ground and some from the roof of a neighboring building, kept the fire under control. It was finally extinguish ed by the use of fog. •Mr. Vincent was unable to es timate his loss, but stated he is partially covered by insurance. Included in the loss was a new truck which had been sold-—but not delivered —- Saturday after noon, and Mr.’ Vincent said it was because of bad weather that he had not brought two more new cars from Loudon the day before. An older car belonging to James Cluness was also burn ed. Mr. Vincent suspects faulty wiring as the cause. Powdered Milk To 50 Markets "Canada has exported dry whole milk to about 50 different countries in 1949, but foreign markets are being restricted now by exchange problems. This is one of the reasons why, after a very rapid expansion during the war, the concentrated milk in dustry is suffering from so-called "growing pains” and some ad justments of necessity have been and are taking place”, D. B. Godwillie, Chief of Dairy Pro ducts Grading and Inspection Services, federal Department of Agriculture, said at the annual meeting of Quebec Dairy Tech nicians Assciation, at St. Hya cinthe, Que. "There are two factors Which, if continued, will have a serious effect on the development and prosperity of the concentrated milk industry,” added the speak er, "Some manufacturers and dealers have sold goods in cer tain markets which were not in accordance with the official grades. This practice not only has done the seller harm, but has undermined the reputation of our products in these markets. If the manufacturer deliberately tries to mislead the government’s grader, he is simply fooling him self-*—a practice which usually proves expensive in lost markets as well as in other ways. Mr. Goodwillie had previously stated that the domestic' use of evaporated milk was approxi mately double what it was ten years ago and that it was still increasing. One reason, he said, for this development was that a high quality product has been produced and sold.
