Twenty-eight steers consigned At a recent meeting of the Huron County Farm and Home Safety Association the Directors decided tosponsor a Power Take Off Clinic. This Clinic will be held in conjunction with the farm machin­ ery dealers in Huron County and will be held on one day - April 1 only. On this day farmers may take their power take off shafts to their dealer to have them inspected and repaired. The dealers are waiving the cost of labour to replace broken or worn parts on that day. The farmer will be charged for replace­ ment parts only. The safety-related components for power take off shafts pertain to such items as nylon bearings, tumbling shields, guards and other items which might save alimb, arms or life. This should prove to be one of the most worthwhile projects ever launched by the Huron County Farm and Home Safety Association.
