Farm .management course
available in this area
The Huron County Agricultural
Office is arranging courses in
farm management which will be
held during the winter months.
The courses will be held at three
different locations in the county
to cut down on travelling time.
One lecture will be held in the
Crediton Township hall, one at
Wingham District High School
and the other at Clinton at the
Central Huron Secondary School.
It is hoped to get aregistration
of at least 50 for each class.
This will be a twenty week course
and registration fees have been
set at $10.00. There will be one
class per week, either afternoon
or evening depending on the
course schedule.
A similar class to this was
held at Clinton last winter with
a registration of 52 and an aver-
age attendance of 48. Because
of the interest shown in this
class it was decided to expand
With the exception of two town-
ships, Grey and McKillop, entries
for the 1966 Plowing Match and
Centennial Farmstead Improve-
ment Competition is disappoint-
ing. Thirty-five entries are
spread over the remaining 14
townships with no entries from
5 townships. Grey and McKillop
have a combined total of over
50 entries. Approximately 85 en-
tries out of 4300 Commercial
farms is not good. We do know,
New phone books
now being issued
It's time to take a good look
at some figures.
Don't rush out and stand on a
street corner, the figures we're
talking about make up your tele-
phone number.
The new telephone directory
is on its way to telephone cus-
tomers in Exeter.
According to W. W. Haysom,
Bell Telephone manager for the
area, 20,000 copies of the Lon-
don-St. Thomas and surrounding
territory directory will be dis-
tributed this year. A total of
1,680 will be sent to customers
in Exeter.
Every year Bell employees
spend hundreds of hours listing
telephone subscribers' names
and updating one of the world's
best read reference books.
Mr. Haysom cautioned cus-
tomers to check the numbers in
the new directory and where
necessary make changes in their
"Blue Book" of telephone num-
bers. This will help avoid the
annoyance of wrong numbers. If
you need a new blue book to
replace an old blue book or even
an old black one you may obtain
it by calling the telephone busi-
ness office.
The manager pointed out that
the introductory pages contain
a wealth of information and should
be checked for possible new call-
ing procedures.
For quick reference it is a
good idea to record emergency
numbers in the blank space.
This year's cover features a
sketch of Middlesex County Court
House in London. In keeping with
the other 61 directories the Bell
will print this year, the cover is
a new blue shade.
Huron county
safety officer
Huron county council will ap-
point a construction safety in-
spector on Feb. 1 next. Such
appointment has been mandatory
under provincial legislation for
some time, and has been pressed
by labor epartment officials at
several sessions. The warden's
and personnel committee, to
which the matter was referred
in June for study, recommended
action to council at its September
session and its report, presented
by chairman Clifford Dunbar,
was accepted:
The post will be advertised,
and applications received at the
November session, to be re-
viewed by the committee and the
name of the successful applicant
submitted to the January session.
The appointment is subject to
approval of the labor department.
A minimum salary of $400 per
month, plus mileage, is proposed
for a six-months probationary
period.
Continuation or otherwise of
the county's tree-planting pro-
gram has become a matter for
Consideration. The provincial
grant ended with conclusion of
the 1964 program.
"In addition to that," said
Reeve Tom Leiner of Hullett,
in presenting the report of the
agricultural committee, "we are
wondering how much land
throughout the county should be
reforested when there is all ever-
increasing demand for land for
agricultural purposes. We hope
to have a fuller report at the
November session."
Council authorized a petition
to the minister of lands and for-
ests requesting permissive leg-
islation e'for smaller parcels of
land to be reforested tinder
agreement on properties not suit-
able for agriculture."
the program this year.
D. H. Miles, agricultural i-ep-
resentative of Huron CoPntY will
be the instructor for the course.
In addition to this, it is hoped
to haye outside speakers at-
tend some of the meetings to
speak to the class.
This course will deal with
the principles of decision mak-
ing on the farm as it effects
farm products. Record-keeping
as it effects management deci-
sions is included. It is not a
course telling the individual how
to farm", but to assist in making
profitable decisions.
The course is intended to cover
the wide range of farm manage-
ment and will include principles
of farm management as it applies
to crops, livestock, fertility, in-
surance, income tax, partial bud-
geting, and other allied subjects
such as farm finance, record
keeping, interpretations of re-
however, improvements are be-
ing made and no entries have
been received.
Entries should be made to the
local township chairman; entries
close on September 30, Judging
will begin October 31.
This competition is a joint
effort of the Huron County Feder-
ation of Agriculture, Local Com-
mittee of the International Plow-
ing Match, 1966 and Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture.

Students compete
at plowing match
There are plenty of competi-
tors for the Huron County Plow-
ing match scheduled for this
Saturday but the biggest problem
will be getting sufficient equip-
ment to let all contestants com-
pete. Fifty boys from Huron coun-
ty's five secondary schools have
indicated they would like to par-
ticipate but they may be dis-
appointed because of the lack of
tractors.
Gordon McGavin, RR 2 Walton
and a director of the Huron County
Plowman's Association state d
this week that because of the
lateness of the season most fath-
ers will be using their tractors
to bring in the fall crops.
Last Saturday the fifty boys
attended c o ac hing classes on
plowing directed by Fred Ford of
Hagersville on Mr. McGavin's
farm,
Each school in the county is
entering a team to compete at
the match which is being held
on the farm of Simon Hallahan,
RR 2 Belgrave.

Ten hints for
home safety
As part of an educational cam-
paign during national pharmacy
week the following 10 steps to-
wards having a safe home have
been issued:
Clean out the medicine chest.
Flush down the toilet all old
prescriptions, ointment, cough
syrups, pills etc.
Make sure any medicines you
keep are clearly labelled with
the name of the patient, pre-
scribed dose and date of pur-
chase. Protect all labels with
cellophane tape.
Lock your medicine chest. It's
a dangerous deception to think
a child can't reach it. Kids are
curious and kids can climb.
Keep all household cleaners
on a high shelf or in a locked
cupboard.
Keep cosmetics out of sight
and reach. Never let little girls
p 1 ay "grown-ups" with their
mother's make-up.
Don't store workshop fluids,
especially gasoline, kerose n e
and paint thinner, in old pop
bottles.
Scrape off old flaking paint
whenever you see it, then re-
paint with non-toxic varieties.
Never let children touch in-
secticides, garden chemicals, or
household aerosol sprays.
Teach your children they must
never put anything near their
mouths that has not been first
approved by you.
List the name and telephone
number of your doctor, phar-
macist, nearest hospital and poi-
son control centre here and at-
tach inside the medicine cabinet
door.
SPEAKS ON FORMOSA
The annual mother and daugh-
ter banquet sponsored by the
CGIT was held Saturday with a
good attendance.
Mrs. M. Lamond presided for
the program which followed the
dinner when Miss McDonald of
Goderich, a retired missionary
of Formosa, spoke and showed
slides of her work there. She
also had on display several na-
tive costumes and some were
Modelled by the girls. Miss Mc-
Donald was introduced by Mrs.
Lamond and thanked by Barbara
Gardiner.
Mrs. Carter Kerslake gave a
demonstration on liquid embroid-
ery which is this year's project
of the CGIT.
eto'fr Rciteva
Poor harvesting weather of the
past has curtailed the pulling
of white beans - about 50% of the
crop has been taken off. Silo-
filling is in progress there is
a fair yield but cobs are not too
mature. Some corn intended for
husking will likely have to be
made into silage for feed. Some
corn harvesting has taken place
but moisture level is very high.
Caravan may
visit Exeter
Although no firm commitments
have been made there is a de-
finite possibility that the giant
confederation caravan will visit
Exeter during the spring or sum-
mer of 1967.
The caravan will be made up
of eight '73 foot tractor trailers
and three station wagons. In
length and width the units will be
just about the biggest thing on the
highway. It is expected that the
caravans will visit about 660
communities during 1967.
Some 40 scenes inside the
trailers will outline the "Saga
of Canada" to viewers. Each
trailer will deal with a separate
period and one in each caravan
will have the makings of a re-
gional exhibit which can be set
up outdoors.
In order to have the caravan
visit a town certain requirements
have been set out. A 40,000 square
foot site is needed in each com-
munity to set up the caravan
which will be able to accommo-
date 4,000 to 5,000 visitors per
day. The commission wants good
drainage, adequate power, sani-
tary facilities and water supply
as well as something for the
visitors - free parking.
