At a meeting Tuesday morn"
ing, the town commissioners
agreed to offer hoth drinking
and livestock water without
charge to those. Who can draw
their own, The .offer is not ex.,
tended to commercial trans-
porters.
Canadian .Canners PO, will
Provide the hydrant faoliities
at their plant on Wellingtem St,
for loading of drinking and doe
;pestle water between $ am and
5 PM.
Supply for livestock can bp
taken from either the Morrison
Dem, on the second concession
of Usborne, or the local re-
servoir on Mill Read,
PVC Manager Davis said the
normal fall decline of consump-
tion at the canning plant leaves
the town with ample supply.
NOT .SERIOUS
Meanwhile, Huron Ag Rep
Douglas Miles says the supply
situation in the county is ;not
desperate by any means". He
said he has received np requests
yet for offers made by various
firms and organizations after
drought conditions were pub-
licized,
"At the moment," he said,
"those farmers who need water,
don't have far to transport it
and they have the equipment to
do so."
The ag rep said he toured the
county Sunday and found no
critical problems in any sec-
tion.
A sudden change in the weath-
er, however, could alter the
picture. "If it turns cold and
farmers are forced to put live-
stock in their barns, the situa-
tion will be desperate," he
said. It's a matter of timing
now. It will depend on how long
livestock can be kept outside."
Mr. Miles said the most cri-
tical problem will not be the
water itself but the means to
store it. Study is being given
to this phase of the situation.

site, something which has been
considered by the Ontario as-
sociation in recent years."
The chamber president said
it was McGavin who engineered
changes in the executive of the
Huron Plowmen's Association
with an eye to having a presi-
dent from the Grand Bend area
for 1966. Fergus Turnbull, on
the Bluewater Highway, was
elected third vice-president for
that reason, he said.
In the early stages of its
campaign to procure the match,
Grand Bend chamber first se-
cured the support of the Huron
association and later of the
county council and its agricul-
ture committee. Grand Bend
made its strongest pitch for the
event at Belleville in 1961 when
it sent a strong delegation,
complete with float and band, in
co-operation with the Huron
assn,
The chamber, he said, con-
tributed $100 toward the cost
of sending the Seaforth band
and $65 toward the cost of a bus.
With the exception of county
council grants of $500 over two
years, Grand Bend has spent
more money than the associa-
tion to secure the event for
Huron, said Wessman. In ad-
dition to the chamber of com-
merce investment, the village
and a number of Individuals
had provided funds for the cam-
paign.
"The site they have picked
will give more benefit to Perth
county than it will to Huron,"
said Wessman. Because there
was little accommodation in
Seaforth, he felt the majority
of visitors would locate at
Stratford.
