in the loft of the barn. Although smoke still seeps out along the roof, this photo was taken after the

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.

The recent annual meeting
of Huron County members of
Waterloo Cattle Breeding Asso-
ciation saw a capacity crowd in
the Department of Agriculture
boardroom at Clinton.
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.

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-

in Friesland, Holland.
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.

A male quartet from Huron
County placed first in their
class at the annual Ontario

ton, a former resident of the
Hensall area.
The priz e-winning quartet

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
