Kirkton celebrate 50 years, in business profit and extremely low-cost business," a brochure detailing the anniversary information stat- ed, Over the years a substantial surplus has been built up, pro- viding working capital and secur- ity in case of any possible future losses. For many years, while the United Farmers of Ontario flour- ished, the Club was fully affiliat- ed with the United Farmers' Co- Operative Co. of Ontario. Later, when this became the United Co- operatives of Ontario, the Club was not eligible for affiliation because they lacked a mill or warehouse and a full-time staff. However, they carry on as priv- ileged customers but without par- ticipation in patronage dividends. By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS KIR KTON Mrs. C. A. Campbell of Sarnia visited last week with Mrs. Wm.

OFFICERS SERVE Fred Johnson was recording secretary for many years, fol- lowed by Maurice Blackler, John Berry and the present secretary, Raymond Paynter. William Urquhart became sec- retary-treasurer about 1920 and held the office until 1931 when he was succeeded by the present secretary-treasurer, T. Alvin Crago. In recent years, due to the increase in business, it was found necessary to appoint an assistant and Jack Urquhart and Rea Stephen have held this po- sition. Over the years, the office of president has been held by John Morphet, James More, William Roger and Alvin Crag°, Clarence Routley acted in that capacity from 1931 to 1047, followed by the Present president, Fred Swit- zer. Hugh Berry served as vice- president for many years until that office was taken over in 1958 by the present vice-presi- dent, Fred Parkinson.

Pleasant and Motherwell ceased tooperate and a considerable number of their members joined the Kirk- ton-Woodham Club and the pre- sent membership is over 400 with a yearly business in excess of a quarter of a million dollars. During the fifty years, total business has been approximately four million dollars with an en- viable — and almost unbelievable — record of losses through bad debts of less than $800 in that time.

"It's definitely going to help," stated Huron Agricultural Repre- sentative Doug Miles, "but we don't know yet how much." He indicated Wednesday morn- ing that late sown beans, corn and turnips were showing the effects of high temperatures and no moisture, but said it was too early to comment on just how much improvement these crops may show due to the recent rains. One report circulating in the county is that the bean crop may only reach 60% of what had been expected, but Miles said the bean situation was still very much a question mark. "The cool weather with the moisture will help the situation," he indicated. Fall wheat is presently being harvested in excellent condition with fairly good yield and quality. Some barley is also being har- vested, but quality is only fair. Most oats and barley are ripen- ing too fast. Many pastures in the county were drying up previous to the rain and some farmers had al- ready been forced into additional feeding of hay to cattle on pas- ture to try and keep milk pro- duction up. While the met section at CFB Centralia listed this week's rain- fall at 1.07 inches, areas in the northern part of the county were not as fortunate. Many places north of Clinton did not receive any of the rain which fell here on Sunday, Tues- day and Wednesday morning. This contest is based on Elmer's rule "Keep out from between parked cars".
