However comparing us to the other individual industries such as mining, lumbering, auto. motive, etc. our stature in- creases greatly. Add to this the fact that farm- ers, apparently, take their dein. ocratic right to vote much more seriously than urban groups and our influence on government gets an additional boost. Remem- ber, our gov6rnments are elected by those who vote without regard to the eligible voters, . • , oflommimmbinitymmtolmw Cornish, Erie Finbeiner, David Geiser, Douglas Galloway, Fred Hyde, Harry Jaques, Douglas Lightfoot,. ;Garry Howeliffe.

In ;this day of radio and television along with our daily and. weekly press • no one can claim ignorance of the pol- icies of the different parties. We, in Huron, appreciate the fact that both our candidates are worthy representatives.. Our decision can be Made on party policy without reflection on the personal chanacter of either gentleman. It has been suggested that each school section Federation .director might plan to vote at noon hgur. He could then check the names ot those who have- n't voted and do some- telephon- ing when he returned home. It is most important that every farmer realize that the elected member has the highestrespect for those who vote but he has little consideration for those who don't. Unique Forum Elects Officers Unique fat= forum members held this final meeting of the season at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Pepper with a good attendance. The topic for discussion was under the lead- ership of Mrs. Leonard Merner, "Canada's role in world affairs." "We would like to know more about Canada and its roll in world affairs regarding the Col- ombo plan; foreign aid; what the foreign department is doing and what its accomplishments are" was the concensus of the group.

PLANNING A a'r 51 MINISTER SPEAKS TO JUNIOR FAFARMERS—Rev. Duncan McTavish, a former minister in this area, recalled early farm practices in Huron county when he spoke to Smith Huron Junior Farmers at their annual -banquet Thursday night in Thames Road Unit- ed Church. Seen with him are Bill Dougall, right, recently elected president of Huron County Junior Farmers, and Alma Bern, president of the junior institute. orld Distorts Values Minister Tells Juniors Huron County Federation of Agriculture held its monthly di- rectors' meeting March 17 u the agricultural board rooms, witia an excellent attendance. A resolution presented by Grey Township avhich recom- mended the greater use of plain -ears by provincial police, was approved with the additional recommendation that they be equipped with a light marked -Police" so that the motorist could easily recognize it as a police ear when he was stopped at night. Mrs. Lloyd Taylor, of the Huron Ce -011 Medical. Services, outlined what the change to the government hospitilization would mean to farmers. While the details are not yet. available we do know that co-op medical will carry on with surgical bene fits and they will have some part in handling the government plan. There will he more definite in. formation available shortly. Bert Lobb, president of the county hog producers, reported on the increase of handling charges on hogs. Formerly the charge was 244 service charge and an average of 5c per hog Pro -rating charge, total 29c. When the service charge of 24C was set, it. was thought that about seven yards would be suf.- Relent. However, these yard9 have proven so popular that there has been a great demand for them, To silpply these, thei extra 11c is r .l.red.
