TimepAciv9c.otp, August Igo: Pogo, Six county juniors chosen for awards Former students enjoy last rites' celebrating end. of Whalen school Last rites for the Whalen School were conducted Monday afternoon and evening but there was nothing solemn about them. The services--marking the end of the 90-year-old building as a scheol--were held in the form of a reunion and the old boys and girls enjoyed the "wake" to the full. They re- minisced, naturally, about the good old school days. While the youngsters enjoyed a variety of sports, their elders recalled the highlights of their days with the slate. To aid the latter group, several collec- tions of old-time pictures were on display, as were some of the boy who got his finger caught in the puny, the two youngsters who took to settling their argument with sticks and stones, and the humorous inci- dents which occurred during the annual school concert. Teachers present included Mrs. Angus Earl, Whalen; Miss Jessie Finlayson, Kippen; Mrs, Bryce Skinner, Woodham; Mrs. Warren Brock, Exeter; Miss Hazel Stewart, Byron; Mrs. Beth Batten, Exeter, and Mrs. Olive Gowan, Qranton, who has taught the past five years at Whalen. Oldest former students pre- sent were Frank Gunning. Exe- the early school records. About 400 people, from as far away as. Michigan, attended the event on the school grounds. Chairman for the program was Laverne Morley, head of the reunion committee. RETAIN SCHOOL The committee already has ensured that the school won't be lost as a community centre. It has been purchased by the re- union group to serve as a local hall for the future. Seven of the many former teachers at the school told tales about their students, many of whom were in the audience. The stories were typical—about club leader, FA director, 004.- ting team member and Sunday School sup't at Brussels. Chosen for the annual soil and land use tour for junior farmers is Tom Cunningham, RR 1 Auburn, second vice:- president of the county junior farmers. Delegates to the junior farm provincial leadership training camp at Lake Couchiching this year will he Elsie Doig, RR 1 Dublin, and Murray Donaldson, RR 1 Gorrie.

Mr. Gunning helped instal the blackboard in the present building and he was a trustee around 1919. From farthest way was Fa- ther McGee, of Pontiac, Mich. who recalled a few highlights for the crowd. RECORDS TO 1877 The records on display at the school dated back to 187'7, four years after the building was erected, and they included min- utes of the negotiations to form a union sectio 11. Eventually, Whalen served SS 11 Usborne, SS 8 Biddulph and SS 12 Bien- shard, joining the Usborne school area in 1946. In 1877 H. Morley was awar- ded a contract to supply 12 cord of two-foot wood at 83C per cord and Joseph Morley Was given the handsome sum of $60 to fence the school site and build twobackhouses(that's what the minutes called them), furnishing all the materials. First trustee on record was Martin McLaughlin, elected in 1877, followed by William Ark- sey and Thomas Lawton in suc- ceeding years. Other trustees who served prior to 1900 in- cluded John Morkin, J.11. Mill- son, Samuel Gunning, Philip Brooks, James Brooks, Joseph Morley, W. Hodgson, Thomas Keensela, Patrick McGee, Sr., Francis Morley, Dennis McGee, John Brock, George Squire, Ja- mes Brooks, Albert Gunning and John Morley. Earliest teacher on record was Francis Morley, who served in 1880 at a salary of $400. Others who taught in the 1800's were Richard Seaborn, Miss Al- berta Hornebrook, S.W. Rad- cliffe, Robert Henderson, John Merens, R.N. Creech, who later became editor of The Exeter Advocate, and R.C. Jeckell. The lowest salary for the period was $300 given to Miss Horne- brook. After the stipend increased to $425 in 1890, the trustees ap- parently went on an economy drive and hired John Merens for $350, stipuating that he must light the fires and clean the schoolhouse as well. Committee chairmen for the reunion were: Milne Pullen, invitations; Alton Neil, ground; Bill Morley, lunch; Hamilton Hodgins; program : Gerald Hern, sports. Secretary of the committee was Gordon Johnson.

The Feder- ation of Agriculture was formed for the purpose of improving the farmer's position and in- creasing his income and much has been done through ourfarm marketing legislation to accom- plish this and every effort is being made to continue to im- prove the farmers' income through our several depart- ments at the Toronto office, Our organization represents the vast majority of farmers and we are recognized by both dominion and provincial gov- ernments as the voice of the farm people and we are fre- quently commended by the gov- ernment on our briefs that we present to them. Farmers need to be organized today more than ever before and I feel that unjust criticism of our organization--that has served the interests of the far- mer so well for the past 26 years--is uncalled for and will accomplish nothing. It is much easier to criticise than to come forth with new ideas and answers to our farm problems. It appears to me, Mr. Mac- Gregor, that you are misinfor- med on the work the Federa- tion of Agriculture is endea- vouring to do. I would like to extend an invitation to you to come to our next monthly mee- ting on September 17 and I can assure you that the mem- bers of the executive will be glad to bring you up to date on the work of the Federation of Agriculture.

N-27 Cecil Squire tops in oats Cecil Squire, Whalen, won the field crop competition in oats sponsored by the Kirkton Agri- cultural Society. His field was given a score of 95 by judge S. Roy Laughlin. Runner -up was Harold Clarke with 94-1/2, followed by Milne Pullen, 94. Also among the prizewinners were Lorne Hern 93, James B. Bryan 92, Alvin Crago 91, W.R. Kirkby 90-1/2, and Clarence Robson 90. Secretary-treasurer Alex F. Crago announced the results. To the Editor, I would like the opportunity to reply to a letter written by Ronald MacGregor which ap- peared in the July 11 issue of your newspaper. He chose to criticise the Fe- deration of Agriculture gener- ally in his letter and it would also appear that he was en- deavouring to make a strong effort to have the work that the Federation of Agriculture is doing, appear to the readers of your paper, as not being in the best interests of the far- mer. The Federation of Agricul- ture welcomes criticism and advice from anyone, but when unjust criticism and unfair sta- tements are made about our organization, I feel it is my duty to reply to such a letter. We thank you, Mr. MacGre- gor, for your opinion and advice regarding agrain testing sta- tion in Huron county. Our res- olution committee consisting of five well-known Huron County farmers brought in a resolution requesting a grain testing sta- tion. (I might say that the resolution has not yet been dealt with by the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture and may be defeated ), I can assure you that the Federation of Agricul- ture will not work for a grain testing station for Huron unless the people want it. You also make a comment about the Federation of Agri- culture supporting the hog mar- keting plan. The Federation of Agriculture are very happy that they had a small part in form- ing the Huron County Hog Pro- ducers Association. Nearly all Huron County farmers are hog producers and the hog produ- cers of Huron have endorsed the hog marketing plan three times during the past three years. Why would they not support it? Ontario hog producers re- ceive a higher price for their hogs than producers do in any other part of North America and opponents to the plan also enjoy the higher price. Your statement that our or- ganization tries to "arouse sus- picion and distrust between farm producers and private en- terprise" is absurd and ridicu- lous. You also seem concerned ab- out the goal of the Federa- GET A Dairy members judge Holsteins A class of cows on the ferm of John McAllister, Centralia, was judged by 18 members of the Exeter 4-H dairy calf club at a recent meeting. Correct placing was given by Club leader Tom Hern. Huron dairy fieldrnan Russell Bradford spoke on merketitig of quality milk and described how milk is graded.
