The class- room wing will stretch across the front of the present campus, in the foreground; the low area at the left centre will be the cafeteria; the shop rooms will be at the rear of the building, facing onto the parking area; a third gymnasium will be constructed at the rear of the present double gym, The original school is shown at the right side of the picture, Entire cost of building and equipping is estimated at $1,500,000. Secondary school districts at Exeter, Seaforth and Goderich are co-operating with the Clinton district by sending stu- dents to the composite school for vocational training. Preliminary sketches have been approved by all participating bodies, and final blueprints are being prepared by Page and Steel.

While export move- ment; is steady, it is not spec- tacular and if all supplies are to be moved, before next crop season, demands will have to increase substantially. These opinions were express• ed by shippers, growers and officials of the Canada and On- tario departments of agricul- ture at a recent committee meeting, Ontario Soil and Crop improvement Association, held at OAC Guelph.. Fortunately, very few turnips are affected this year with water core or insect injury; further, the short method of cooking is now being used more extensively, and turnips are new being combined with other fresh products in salads.

New potential outlets With good possibilities are; turnips for processing, by way of quick freezing; merchandised in dic- ed form, and instant mashed turnip crystals.

By ,I, CARL HEMINOWAY County directors and town- ship representatives of the beef producers' association met last, week to discuss plans for their annual meeting which will be held shortly. President Bob McGregor Kippen reported that the On- tario board was making pro- gress in baying bills of lading used on all shipments of cattle. This has been required. by law for many years but has never been enforced, However, in re- cent week the provincial police .have been stopping many trucks and issuing warnings. By March 20, the beef pro- ducers will have all truckers supplied with bills of lading and it will then be up to the farmers to see to it that these forms are used. These state- ments will be a real. benefit to both farmer and shipper in. case of accident, In the answers to the ques- tionnaires that were sent out to some 50 beef producers in each county, the beef produc- ers are finding that 825» of the producers approve the bills of lading and the Joe deduction to provide finances for the organization and for advertis- ing the product. Change dates of course On February 1, the leader- ship forum committee met to discuss the advisability of re- arranging the leadership forum that had been planned previous- ly, It was agreed that, the sec- retary send out notices that the course will be arranged. for the 26, 27 and 28 of Febru- ary and will be held in the agricultural board rooms, Min- ton, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. This will allow those attending to get the chores done and the children off to school each morning and to be home for chores at night. it will make a busy three days but from the reports of those attending last year's course it is well worth the effort. There must be 15 enrolled by February 19 to make the course possible. However, ad- ditional applications will ,be acceptable up to the beginning of the course. If you are in- ter,ested contact your township federation president' or the county federation office, box 310 Clinton, Better warble control Turnberry township held its annual federation meeting on Feb, 2 and provided those at- tending with most interesting findings on the developments in warble fly control, Dr. Neely, extension services veterinary, was guest speaker. He told us of the newer methods and materials that are providing better control, are more con- venient to use and are effect- ive in the control of lice and other animal parasites. These new methods are be- ing thoronghly tested and many are now available. This does not mean that the spraying of cattle for warbles in the spring was not a success. It has been wonderfully success- ful but there have been many new discoveries and we need to give them full consideration. They may be another big step forward in care of livestock» Hear CU fieldman Guest speaker at the annual meeting of Hibbert Township Federation of Agriculture was Alfred Fischer, fieldman for the Ontario Credit Union League, who presented the case for credit unions in a convinc- ing manner. The meeting approved the re- turn to office of Russell Miller of Staffa, as president of the township federation, Rev. Bert Daynard, zone di- rector of the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture reported on federation activities at the provincial level. Albert Bow- man, Western Ontario fieldman of OFA and Ed Dearing, past president of the Perth county federation, both stressed the continuing need for leadership and idea development and for unity of purpose at township and county levels of farm or- ganizations.. Agriettititre Atinister Stewart will" be the "star" of Ifuran Seed Fair to be held at on Saturday., March To. Announcement over the 'weelc* end that the agriculture min.. inter had accepted an :invita*. lion to be the - guest speaker' has simulated considerable in- terest in, this year's event,. Mr, Stewart is expected to 'attract a large crowd. The Middlesex North MIDI' will speak on the topic: "The- place of farm management on Huron. county farms", His ad, dress will lead off a multiple discussion on 'farm 'business which will feature the Satur, day afternoon ,program. Mr. Stewart has raised eye- brows throughout the farm, community by his bold ap- proach to the controversial milk marketing question, He stated last month, in no uncer- tain terms, that he wanted a plan prepared for presentation to producers sometime tills year and he named a commit, ee to do it. Ag Rep Douglas Miles, who said he was happy that the minister was able to address the fair, indicated farmers will have an opportunity to choose between a number of different speakers during this year's program. Agricultural Minister Stew- art will start off the afternoon session at 1.30 p.m When he is completed, a number of other speakers will give ad• dresses in various rooms throughout the school and members of the audience will be able to choose the topic which most interests them. A special ladies program has also been scheduled for Satur- day afternoon and it's a unique one. Several qualified speakers will discuss farm management with the ladies, to help them. get a better grasp of the prob- lems facing their husbands. Speakers for the wives will be J. M. Wallace, of WOAS, Ridgetown, whose topic will he "Bookkeeping made easy", and Miss Ruth Moyle, home econo- mist, Toronto, who will speak on "Home management and consumer information". A similar program at "Farm- ers' Week" in Ridgetown proved quite popular. A repeat feature of the fair, and. a popular one, will be the junior farmers' drama compe- tition on Friday night. It; is not known yet whether or not there will be a program Friday afternoon. If there is one, it will likely be held in the Legion Hall. Free enterprise farmers again will contest the election of committeemen to the hog producers' marketing board, Charles Coultes of. Belgrave said Wednesday. "We intend to nominate a full, slate of candidates," he stated. The nominations will he re, ceived Tuesday, Feb. 13, at the annual meeting in. Clinton Le- gion Hall, between 2 and 3 o'clock. The election will be held Tuesday, March 6, giving the candidates a full three weeks to campaign for votes, It's expected that supporters of the hog producers' ass'n also will nominate a full slate of 19 candidates, giving pro- ducers two complete slates to choose from; as was the case last year. In 1961 'the free enterprise group elected their supporters to four of the 19 positions in Huron; in Perth, they won 22 of the 26 votes, Mr. Coultes, who is secretary of the free enterprise organiza- tion, said its objectives re- mained the same, The group would eliminate the compul- sory nature of the program, giving the farmer the option. of taking his hogs to the as- sembly point or direct to the packing plant. Mr. Coultes said his group would sponsor an energetic campaign for votes. At the 86th annual meeting of the Usborne and ilibbert Mutual Fire Insurance Co. held at Farquhar Monday, Presi- dent Milton McCurdy reported another good year with an in- crease in the surplus of over $43,000. Direct insurance business showed, ,a gain of over two million dollars. Surplus in the terms of cents per $100 of net insurance in force has improved from 43 cents in 1960 to 51.1 this past year, Direct losses paid were $82,- 170 which included seven barns, two of them were set on fire by lightning.
