SUMMERS The Granton W.I. met at the home of Mrs. Clarence Lewis Tuesday evening. Mrs. Hamilton Hodgins presided and opened the meeting with the W.I. Ode, Mary Stewart Collect, and the Lord’s Prayer. The roll call 'was answered with the number of miles you had to walk, to your first school. It was decided to have a booth on Fun Day. July 21, and sell hotdogs, pie, coffee and soft drinks. Fun Day will be sponsored by the Granton Lion’s Club, this year. The money was collected for the bus trip to Brampton. It was reported that the bus was filled and there is a waiting list of eight people, in case of cancellations. The program topic was the Tweedsmuir History, and was convened by, Mrs. C. Lewis, Curator, and Mrs. Joseph Pecko. Mrs. Lewis enlarged on the Motto, whieh was “Life unfolds, and memories abound, as one clumbs the stairs of life’’. Mrs. Pecko introduced Margaret McGuffin, a student at Bid- dulph Central School, who entertained the members with pianoforte solos, on the theme of the movies, “Star Wars’’ and “Homecoming’’. Mrs. Lewis had both the Tweedsmuir History Book, and the scrap book, in con­ nection with it, on display for the members to read. Mrs. Percy Hodgins read aloud the history of the Elmer Harlton home, which had been moved from the corner of Maitland and Cheapside Streets, London, to its present site on King Street, Granton. The guest speaker was Mrs. Jack Ratcliffe, Lucan, who was accompanied by Mrs. Murray Hodgins, also of Lucan. Both ladies were delegates to the Provincial Officers Conference held at Waterloo University in May. Granton W.I. did not send a delegate, so Mrs. Ratcliffe offered to represent Gran­ ton, and bring back a report. It was an excellent report, bringing back information on the workshops, speakers, and entertainment. Mrs. Ratcliffe said that Wm. Newman, Ontario Minister of Agriculture said “The W.I. was the backbone of the Province’’. Miss Mabel McNaughton was honored with a birthday card from every member present, also received a lovely floral arrangement. Miss McNaughton was 85 years old on June 22nd. Mrs. Pecko assisted the hostess to serve birthday cake and ice-cream for lunch. Granton United Church anniversary As Granton United Church was celebrating their an­ niversary Sunday.

Dun­ can Farris associate minister of New St. James Presbyterian Church, Lon­ don, who entitled his sermon “This Sunday Morning”.

T-A photo fl A Huron F of A already has qualities for good meetings ex- By RHEA HAMILTON For interesting meetings the Huron Federation of Agriculture may have other groups beat out. Members learned Thursday night in Clinton that they already have many of the qualities that make interesting meetings better. Guest speaker Mark Waldren, of the University of Guelph spoke on how to make meetings more ef­ fective, informative and interesting. HFA President Merle Gunby and secretary­ treasurer Carol Finch conducted the business and Mr. Waldren later referred back to a lot of what hap­ pened to illustrate points he made. Breaking into groups, members were asked to make lists of their key problems in attending and running meetings. .The problems summarized discouraging later included irrelevant discussion, getting better attendance and getting commitments necessary to conduct interesting meetings. Most important, Mr. Waldren pointed out is to keep a sense of humour. Relax and enjoy the meeting and make the best of it he said. Accompanying Mr. Waldren wasacolleague from Dublin, Ireland, Father Liam Carey. Father Carey is director of the department of adult extension service at St. Patrick’s College which is part of the National University of Ireland. The fieldman’s report indicated that membership in Huron County is falling. Fieldman Bill Crawford reported to members that in general most of the farmers he talks to are satisfied with OFA but are unaware of their own provincial directors in the area and are unable to express their concerns. Compared to the REFRIGERATION GETS BIKE PRIZE — Linda Hardeman was the pre-school "winner in Saturday's bike rodeo sponsored by Kirkton- ' Woodham Optimist club.

Norman Alexander reported that there is a wave of concern from a number of farmers about disposal and spreading of animal waste. Mr. Alexander wanted to know if the federation is . looking into this matter. The ministry of the environment at present keeps check of operations by aerial sur- veilance but are slow to act on matters, he said. “There is a growing trend for people down-stream to speak out” said Mr. Alexander. It was suggested by Tony McQuail that the matter be brought before farmers by an article in Rural Voice on the problem. The matter was left to the F of A’s soil and erosion committee to check into further. The president of Hur on F of A has been helping Wingham high school students with a planning project. Mr. Gunby was asked to judge plans drawn up by students participating in a two week project under the direction of Wendy Fisher, of the Huron County planning department. Tony McQuail reported on a phone call from someone interested in a followup of the brief Huron farmers presented to the Porter commission on the proposed Hydro corridor. “Our sub­ mission did catch someone else’s eyes.” said Mr. McQuail who is waiting for more information. In other business, mem­ bers were reminded about the Agricrew program. Fern Cole, co-ordinator for the program, wrote that the pilot program still has help available for farmers in Huron-Perth. Crews of boys and girls 14 years and up will work on farms doing everything from painting and mending fences to haying and harvesting. Help is on a first-come first-served basis and starts June 25th. A request for funds from the Salvation Army was filed. The Annual meeting is set for October 19 in the Brussels arena. Tony McQuail requested input from members concerning several regional meetings as opposed to one. An invitation has been extended to the staff at the offices of the OFA in Toronto to visit for a week end on some of the farms in this area. The invitation was extended when it was learned that some of the staff have never been on a farm and yet do so much work for the farming community. Bev Brown received a letter from the staff in Toronto asking if some of the people might bring their children. The members agreed it would be a good idea to include the younger people. A list was passed for volunteer hosts to sign and indicate what ac­ commodations they had. Miss Brown noticed while attending Centralia College graduation exercises recently that there was no award given by the largest farm organization in the county, the Huron F of A. The matter is to be looked into further.
