this, figures were quoted which show
ed that about 50% of rural taxes
goes toward education. In connection
With health, Mrs. Weir’s suggestion
was that if rural women wish, they
can have the services of Victorian
Order of Nurses made available in
rural communities at a low cost.
Reports from the counties were
received and discussed, Emphasis was
placed on the service given to farm
ers by the Federation of Agriculture.
It is, and always has been, the aim
and also the achievement of the Fed
eration to assist and protect farmers
in marketing their products to reason
able advantage. Without this farmers
have no security nor stability in
their industry. It was noted too, that
the social and cultural side of farm
life depends a great deal on the fin
ancial prosperity of the farmer, Mrs.
Weir recommended’ that we farm
women should educate ourselves in
consumer buying of foods.
Officers elected for 1955 are as fol
lows: President, Mrs. "merson Dess-
ler, R. 1, Elmira; vice-president, Mrs,
L. D. Taylor, Fergus; sec.-treas., Mrs.
J. Scott Davidson, R 1, Britton; press
sec., Mrs. O. G. Anderson, Wingham.
Mrs. Weir, who has served on the
women’s committee of O.F.A. for the
past seven years has given a great
deal of time and effort to the work
and Mrs. Lloyd Taylor of Huron
County voiced the appreciation of all
present to Mrs. Weir for the excel
lent contribution she has made at
county, zone and provincial levels.
Mrs. Weir automatically retires this
year and it is our hope that she will
continue her interest in the future of
this important farm organization.
year’s developments at O.F.A. level.
As chairman, Mrs, Weir offered some
good suggestions for interest and
action amongst the women in the
zone for the coming year. As a result
of a recent interview with the min
ister of education, Mrs. Weir sug
gested that an investigation by the
women into the cost of education in
the local areas might reveal some
startling information, which if follow
ed up could be used to the advantage

Traffic Fatalities
Down in November
November is the seventh month of
1954 in which a reduction in deaths
due to motor vehicle accidents has
been recorded in Ontario. Eighty-nine
people, according to preliminary fig
ures, were fatally injured during the
month, as compared with 93 in Nov
ember, 1953. It also represents an im
provement over the same month of
1952 and 1951, when there were 97 and
94 lives lost in traffic accidents, re
spectively.
Motor vehicle registration at 1,465,-
000 has increased more than 6% over
1953 and more than 13% over 1952.
At 18, there were 9 fewer passeng
ers in vehicles fatally injured this
November than last year. Pedestrian
victims, however, increased from 29
in November 1953 to 39 this year.
Collisions between vehicles' took 24
lives, 14 drivers and 10 passengers.
Single vehicle accidents involving col
lisions with fixed objects or vehicles
leaving the road, accounted for 23
victims, 15 drivers and 8 passengers.
Pre-school age pedestrian victims
decreased in number from five to one
during the month as compared with
the same month last year, but child
ren of elementary school age as vic
tims increased from four to 10. The
number of pedestrian fatalities invol
ving people of 65 years or over was
down from 12 in 1953 to eight in Nov
ember of this year. There were 14
pedestrians between' the ages of 36
and 64 years fatally injured.
The final ten-day period of the year
has been in the past the most danger
ous and safety during the season de
mands greatly increased care and at
tention by all who walk or drive.

IT’S A
EFFICIENCY”
FEED
high efficiency feed, we mean that it’s a highly con
centrated feed — it has more food energy packed into
every pound, and every pound contains more of the
food elements that chicks need to grow on, too —
more protein, more vitamins and more minerals.
That’s why three pounds of SHUR-GAIN Chick
Starter produce as much growth as four pounds of
ordinary starter, as tests at the SHUR-GAIN Dem-
Farm prove. With SHUR-GAIN, your
