Students attend nominations — Continued from front Page them to meetings and urging them to participate in local pro- grams," he said, Nomination meetings at L'S- borne and S t ephen Townships were well attended this year, but the numbers Weren't exactly in- dicative of ratepayer interest. Students from the Centralia School of Agriculture and Home Economics attended both Monday afterntion sessions and in both cases the students almost out- numbered the ratepayers. Half the class of agriculture students attended the Usborne meeting and the other half went to Stephen. Doug Jamieson. who accom- panied those at Usborne, told the ratepayers the students were tak- ing a course in civics and were looking at some of the principles they've been studying. The students attending the Ste- phen meeting were accompanied by Bob Thomas. Thomas told the Stephen gath- ering that all sports facilities at the former air base are now be- ing used and that township resid- ents wishing to use the ice arena for skating purposes would be quite welcome at a nom i nal charge, GRAND BEND CLEANERS DECEMBER SPECIAL COATS 'cifiDZS 1.19 (FUR TRIM NOT INCLUDED) County organization elects officers The Huron County Crop andSoil Improvement Association annual banquet was held at Belgrave, Thursday, and the officers shown above were elected for the coming year, Seated are president Bob Grasby and secretary Doug Miles.

T-A photo shown concern about the addition- al costs and the added respon- sibilities involved over the Cen- tralia project. He suggested there will be many difficulties — but the test of Huron County, and the success of the Centralia experiment, will depend In large degree upon how these problems are viewed. "They can be looked upon as impossible obstacles — or as the hurdles of opportunity," he said. In conclusion, he explained that his purpose in his address had been to stimulate imaginations and to help visualize the oppor- tunities ahead and to convey some ideas on how to capitalize on the challenge "you face both as a community and as businessmen". "It's simply a matter of team- work," he suggested, "to realize the potential of Centralia Indus- trial Park as the centennial pro- ject that will write a new chapter of history for this community." Prior to his address, he noted that the Hon. C. S. MacNaughton would have enjoyed being present "for the discussion of a project to which he has devoted a great deal of time, effort and imagin- ation a project in which he retains a very special and keen interest."

SEVERAL GUESTS Some of the special guests present at the meeting held at the R. E. Pooley Branch Legion hall indicated the growth of Cen- tralia. Representing the Cen- tralia School of Agriculture and Home Economics were James MacDonald and Miss M, McGhee, Fred Rowland, site manager for the ODC, was also present, along With local and area civic, edu- cation, recreation and conserva- tion groups. President. Carf Cann said he was overwhelmed at the large turnout and said he hoped the enthusiasm shown by the Board of Trade members would con- tinue. He suggested the Board should consider holding more than one meeting a year at which all mem- bers are invited. In the only business at the meeting, members agreed to in- crease the annual dues from $10 to $20. SHDHS Principal J, L, Wood- en spoke briefly, asking the Board and the various members to con- sider donating plaques and awards to the school to be used to recognize academic and ath- letic achievement of the students. He explained that with many new courses, there were no awards for students in these courses. It was indicated the cost of plaques was not a large expenditure and he said they would be a welcome addition. Past president Iry Armstrong presented the nominating com- mittee report and the following were approved: Cart Cann, past president; Bill Smith, president; Fred Dobbs, first vice-president; Miles Tis- dale, second vice-president; Harold Patterson, treasurer; Bill Batten, secretary.

He indicated that some of the fertilizer tests revealed that while one pound of fertilizer was good, three pounds would not be better, He recommended that farm- ers continue to take soil tests and follow the OAC recommend- ations they receive.

((It's an established fact that one industry attracts another, and there's every reason to hope that some of the newfirms would con- sider locating in Exeter," he pointed out. Noting that some 40 firms had been unable to find the type of building they required at Cen- tralia, Southcott questioned how many of those prospects might have looked at Exeter if there had been some kind of industrial mall or similar facilityavailable to them. "I leave the answer to your imagination," he said. He also suggested that Exeter and all other communities in Huron should explore immediate- ly their eligibility for the Equal- ized Industrial Opportunity Pro- gram, under which significant financial aid is available for new plants establishing in non-metro- politan areas. To date, Exeter council has not discussed the possibility of asking for help under the pro- gram. The final consideration men- tioned was that involving the South Huron District High School and the possibility of establish- ing a close liaison between the needs of the industry and the courses which are given at the school. "In some communities," Southcott advised, "such co- operation has extended to the •point where students spend part of their holiday periods in local plants learning about the opera- tions which may provide future employment for them." In concluding his speech, he questioned whether Centralia might well be the first of the satellite cities which Premier John Roberts has envisioned for more orderly growth in this Province. He also questioned whether the Centralia concept could be the answer to the need for greater industrial development in eastern and northern Ontario and also whether a government-sponsor- ed industrial park could provide the answer to the demand for diversification of industrial and commercial assessment, and employment opportunity, across the province. "To be sure, there are prob- lems associated with growth," Southcott stated.

See our album of samples. BAD YEAR Many of the other speakers on the program noted the bad year being experienced by Huron farmers. "The adverse weather has cer- tainly made us conscious of soils and crops this year," president Elmer Powe, RR 2 Centralia, noted. He said there were too many farmers in difficulty this year and suggested too many had put all their eggs in one basket. "It's hard to interest the bank- er in something under the snow," he stated. Past president Ian McAllister, Zurich, told the group that Powe had the biggest rain gauge in Huron and started off the year by having to get up in the night to empty it. He jokingly added that Powe then put extensions on the side and then the gauge finally broke down due to the heavy use it was receiving. Huron-Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt said the year had been "treacherous" and was one of the wettest in history, while Warden Don McKenzie suggested "a lot of us are probably in trouble", "It may be a year to see if we're growing the right crops," he suggested, noting that most farmers got their hay off. Robert Grasby, RR 4 Brussels, was elected president of the As- sociation at a meeting of the directors following the regular meeting. Dr. Charles Baldwin, a crop specialist from the Western On- tario Agriculture School at Ridgetown told 200 Huron farm- ers this week that the perpetual news of rapid advances in farm- ing may not be as rapid as some would like to think. He also questioned whether some of the so-called advances were really required, or whether farmers were being asked to change for the sake of change only. Dr. Baldwin was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association at Belgrave, Thurs- day. He said actual "break- throughs" in farming methods and procedures were few and far between and read from an article dated 1866 that stated farmers in seven states of the U.S. were getting corn yields of from 160 to over 200 bushel per acre and were planting rows 24 inches apart. "We're all too easy prey to the whims of advertising," he said, and listed four areas where farm- ers had to take a good look at their present methods. The first major area where he suggested some farmers were falling short was related to equip- ment, adding that many farmers were over-equipped. He questioned whether this was becoming a status symbol, re- porting some isolated cases to prove his point. He told of one farmer who boasted of having $50,000 worth of equipment on his 50-acre farm and of another who thought he needed a six- furrow plow for his 70-acre farm. Another case was cited where he was told by a farmer that he was replacing his small three- year-old corn planter with a big- ger, expensive model so he could be able to plant all his corn in one day, Dr. Baldwin's second area of concern was that of seed. He said farmers were being urged to narrow rows, increase yields and yet there was insufficient evidence to back up some of the claims being made. He also told members of the Huron group that peoplewho sug- gested planters should go seven miles an hour would certainly be able to lessen their storage problems, The third area mentioned was that of herbicides, which he said were misused and misunderstood from both the crop and human standpoint. He said there was a real need for farmers to keep more records so they can tell how, when, where and why they followed some prac- tices. He said this was the only way in which they could deter- mine the value of the programs. The crop specialist said he could relate a dozen amazing and amusing stories to cover the final area of his concern—that of fer- tilizer. However, he explained that the day is gone when farmers should think that if one pound of fertil- izer is good, three pounds would be better. Farmers were told that to gain results for their own particular farms they would have to "dis- cuss with, discuss about, com- pare, sort out, look up, try an acre or two, adopt, adjust, see what happens when" etc., etc„ to plan their cropping programs. Dr. Baldwin said agriculture extension people and the results from experimental farms could help them, but farmers had to help themselves too by experi- menting on the basis of their particular needs, Also speaking to the farmers was Howard Lang, area crop specialist, who backed up the contention that dollars spent don't mean anything to farmers unless *-MII:EtIva 1:P4r vaktcztiizt141vvrar =411qeg,IM:i aft WtIre Wel **111M Vat =ft Vet sett Optr ti vpid-afts ism rift vicivrtvotivAixtt igtemtkiFtivectve4tAxtia%airet or* It is so easy to Christmas shop at MacM illan's LIMITED TIME SPECIAL OFFER SHELL CATTLE TREATING STATION PLUS 10 GALLONS OF CIODRIN INSECTICIDE ONLY 160.00 Gay Wraps and Fancy Ties; Buxton Billfolds and Jewel Cases; Sheaffer, Papermate and Northrite Pens and Sets; Artist supplies; Paint by Number Sets; Filing Cabinets; Portable Typewriters; Games and Books for Children or Adults.
