TREE PLANTING ASSISTANCE Name Dorman board chairman Jack Dorman was elected chairman of the McGillivray Township School Area board at the inaugural meeting, Wednes- day. Dorman is one of three rep- resentatives from the township on the newly formed board. The other two are Roy Cunningham and Ellison Whiting. Other two members on the board represent Ailsa Craig which became part of the school area under the new legislation enacted by the department of education. The two representa- tives are Marshall Dearing and Eldon D ahm s. Dearing was named vice-chairman of the board. All five took their oath of office from the secretary, David Henry, who was re-appointed at the meeting. The Rev. H. E. Moorehouse gave the innvocation prayer and before retiring from the meet- ing wished the board every success. Area inspector G. F. Ross was also in attendance. The board plans to hold re- gular meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month in the McGillivray Central School. They also plan to visit the schools under their jurisdiction for inspection purposes early in the year. Small hard to reach field corners, wet or rough land can often be converted into a valuable farm asset through the planting of trees. NOW is the time to order trees for spring planting. Nursery stock order forms can be obtained from (a) Department of Lands and Forests at (1) District Office, Aylmer (2) Zone office — Box 338, Stratford. or (b) from the AUSABLE RIVER CONSERVATION AUTHORITY office in EXETER. Trees from Lands and Forest cost $10 per thousand, excepting Scotch Pine at $14 per thousand. A list of available tree species can also be obtained. As a continuing reforestation assistance policy on private lands in the watershed, the Ausable Authority offers the following services: watching hockey games, mem- bers explained. Lloyd Cushman suggested that PUC manager Hugh Davis would give installation and operating costs of the heaters and he will be asked to do so. It was also decided to make conditions better for adult cus- tomers by making the south stands out of bounds for all children unless accompanied by an adult. Children running in the area have been a nuisance . And youngsters will also be brought more under control at hockey games through the hiring of a part-time police officer to handle crowds at all junior games. It was also suggested by members that Willert hire help for the snack bar so he would be available for more super- vision during games.

Reports were presented by unit directors and personnel. Manager, Wilbur Shantz re- ported an increase in business for 1964 of 2299 breedings. The program for young sire proving and increasing use of proven sires has also been a success, Mr. Shantz reported, with use of proven bulls in the Holstein breed now up to 55% of total services. Two directors were elected to the WCBA board; Cliff Mc- Neil, Port Albert, a new mem- ber representing North Huron for a one year term, Bill Allen, Kirkton, re-elected for South Huron for a two year term. Roy Snyder, secretary-man- ager of Ontario Association of Animal Breeders was guest speaker, explaining the young sire proving programs in pro- gress in Ontario. He stated that young sire proving was not new, but was more planned than ever before. He outlined the new All- Ontario proving program for Jersey, Guernsey and Ayrshire breeds and announced that the maritime provinces and a unit in British Columbia had indi- cated their intention to join this program. Gordon Bell of the Holstein- Friesian Association brought greetings from his organiza- tion. "Over 60% of our regis- trations are now from A. I. services", he reported. Cousin Clem poor image? 1.

ADD HEATERS? In an effort to attract even more paying customers to hock- ey games, RAP decided to in- vestigate the possibility of add- ing overhead heaters in the section of stands at the south end of the arena. A new stairway was recently built to allow access to this area without having to go through the auditorium. Such an addition would pos- sibly attract some of the "old- er" customers who prefer the atmosphere a little warmer for Buying CO-OP" High Grade Ferti- lizer now is like opening a savings account.

Does Cousin Clem on the TV program Country Hoedown ridi- cule the farmer while he draws big pay for his act? was a ques- tion discussed at the Fairfield Farm Forum meeting Monday night as they considered "The Farmer's Image." Several members felt that Cousin Clem did not improve the status of the farmer in his impersonation. Such questions as What do city people and town dwellers think of farmers? Does the farmer care? Is it his own fault if urban people haven't a higher regard for him? And How can he improve it were discus- sed. All were agreed that in this district farmers do not have to worry too much about their image. They report "We live in an up-to-date area and farmers are on a par with modern homes and cars and enjoying the so- cial life of the Town." As to improving the farmer's image Fairfield members felt that, at least, a fair education would broaden life's viewpoint and get one more accustomed to better society. There were 21 members pre- sent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Heist. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wilson. DEC IAN SAVE $/ 00 PER ION FEB SAVE ¶150 PER TON The pains we take often measure the gains we make. Despite the controversy that raged over and through Exeter's RAP committee in the past year, secretary- t r e as urer Claude Farrow indicated Mon- day night it was a most success- ful year and two of the three boards operating under RAP had money on hand at the end of the 12 months. "We're in pretty fair shape," Farrow reported. He indicated there was about $1,600 left in the Community Centres Board account and an- other $2,284.27 in the recrea- tion account, although a large portion of that belonged to mem- ber groups such as the Teen Town, Junior Hawks, square dancers, etc. The success being enjoyed by the Junior Hawks and other assorted groups using the arena facilities brought much of the increase to the arena opera- tions. Up until January 1 alone, the Hawks had turned over $406 for ice time as the arena's share of gate receipts. With increased crowds, the snack bar showed a profit of $1,605 and ice rentals amounted to $3,300, with the EMHA providing about half of that amount. One losing cause was the horse barn, which had rentals of only $130 and repairs totall- ing some $165. Repairs to the arena amounted to just slightly over $1,000. Chairman Tom MacMillan urged RAP to look into fuel costs in the new year and also to consider the saving that could be made in insurance at the arena by the installation of a sprinkler system. The latter project has been suggested several times and it has been estimated that a sprinkler system could be paid for within seven years as a result of the substantial de- crease in the present insurance policy of $2,448.07. MacMillan suggested some EIrenovations" could possibly Think twice before you speak — if you intend to say what you think. A male quartet from Huron County placed first in their class at the annual Ontario Junior Farmer competition held in Toronto, Saturday. Their mark of 88 was the highest given by the adjudicator in the various classes heard. Members of the quartet were Bill Campbell, Jim Scott and Terry Ford, all of the Seaforth area, and Jim Dougall, Harris- ton, a former resident of the Hensall area. The priz e-winning quartet has been asked to appear at the annual Middlesex Seed Fair to be held in the near future. The Huron Junior Farmer choir tied for fourth spot in their competition. They were directed by area inspector, Gil Burrows. Miss Carol Brown, Seaforth, accompanied them. A mixed quartet from the county also placed fourth. It was comprised of Grace Math- ers, Wingham; JoanPrice, Sea- forth, Barry Jeffrey, RR 1 PLAN PROGRAM A Huron County Junior Farm- er conference has been planned for county members and senior 4-11 members on Saturday, Jan- uary 16 at Central Huron Sec- ondary School, Clinton.
