The first week of the special lec-
tures on various agricultural subjects
have proven 'to be very successful, ac-
cording to R, G. Bennett, Agricultural
Representative for Huron.
These lectures are being held, for a
period of four weeks in five colleg-
iates throughotit the County. Lectures
have been held during the past week
as follows:: Monday night in Goder-
ich; Tuesday in Clinton; Wednesday
in Seaforth; Thursday in Exeter and
Friday in Wingham, The subject dur-
ing the past week was Soils and Soil
Problems, with James Bryden of the
Soils Department at the Ontario Ag-
ricultural College, as the special speak-
er.
Next week and for the remaining
weeks the schedule of lectures will be
the same as indicated above. Next
week the subject will be Crops and
Crop Production. The speakers will
be W. E. Tossell, I. M. Roberts and
W. H.- Waddell. , These men are all
from the staff of the Field Husbandry
Department, O.A.C., and have a fine
knowledge of crops grown in this
area. A special part of the meeting
will be devoted to a discussion of
special crops grown in the area.
Every farmer should try and attend
one of the lectures ibelcl in this area.
There is a special part of the meeting
devoted to a discussion of any pro-
blem which those present might have.
We urge everyone attending to bring
their questions with them.
The third week, the week of Decem-
ber 6th, the lecture will deal with
Farm Machinery and Shop Work for
the A special series for the ladies
is being planned for this week, when
the Community Programmes will have
speakers present to deal with handi-
crafts and subjects of that nature.
This should be an especially good
week.

deal with Animal Diseases, when Dr.
Schofield and Dr. LeGrow, of the
Veterinary College in Guelph, will be
the guest speakers:

Comes again the Christmas Seal
campaign—and 'its appeal too
strong to be lightly by7passed. The
Huron County Tuberculosis Associa-
tion is again conducting the seasonal
drive for funds, with the Wingham
Lions Club sponsoring the Campaign
locally, The urgency of the battle
against the forces that create tuberc-
ulosis is beyond debate—likewise the
notable achievements made possible
by Chirstmas Seal sales need no argu-
ment.
Tuberculosis made gains in Canada
in 1942 for the first time since 1926.
Now is the time to take action to pre-
vent a repetition of this condition.
One of the deadliest enemies of
mankind, tuberculosis invariably mak-
es gains during war years, when men
and women are under increased men-
tal and physical strain. This was prov-
ed alarmingly so in the First Great
War. And in the recent global con-
flict there was a marked increase in
the death rate from this malady.
The threat must — and can—be
met. Tuberculosis which attacks gen-
erally those between the ages of eigh-
teen and fortyfive — men and women
most seriously needed by their coun-
try, is an evil that must be seriously
combatted. That it can be combatted

RECREATION MEETING'
AROUSES ENTHUSIASM
Working Committees Formed
It looks as if the plans of the Re-
creation Council will be carried out if
enthusiasm is any criterion. The Ad-
visory Council was well represented
and showed itself more than willing
to cope with some of the pressing pro-
blems, President A. D. MacWilliam
opened the meeting and called, on Teen
Town Mayor John Lancaster, who
was spokesman for the delegation
present at the meeting. John Lancas-
ter voiced the appreciation of the teen-
sters for the use of the Town Hall and
for support received from many sour-
ces. He said that it was often difficult
to get chaperones for the dances and
asked for assistance. The Teen Town
delegation left immediately to wrestle
with their studies for the current ex-
aminations. The President then called
for volunteers to help Teen Town with
their problems and was promptly
rewarded as De Witt Miller, Carl
Deans and Bob Ferguson consented
to act as a committee.
Mr. MacWilliam then asked Recre-
ation director Sam Burton to explain
how an Advisory Council worked.
Actually no explanation was needed
as the meeting had already had an ex-
ample of its workings in the matter
of 'the Teen Town problem. 1.Mr. Bur-
ton then stated some of the immediate
plans for the expansion of the pro-
gram as follows:
