WEVE THE VEHICLES READY To TRAVEL:ALL ELECTRICAL PROBLE WE CAN UNRAVEL" Exeter PUG and Canadian Canners Ltd, balm jeleeeforcee to provide free water for area beepers suffering from, the ex tended fell .cireeeht. 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.

FARMAf UELS LUBRICANTS PLOW MATCH — Continued from Page 1 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.
