However, while their "oppo- sition" gained one of the 19 committeemen appointments, they proved without a doubt that they are conscientious farmers and at all times are worriing in the best interests of all hog producers in the county. All l;a supporters would have been well within their rights to leave their names on the nom- ination papers and force the election. In the past three votes, Huron farmers have vot- ed overwhelmingly in favour of the present plan, and 19 of the nominees had been listed to ensure that there would be a full slate of committeemen to represent the vast majority of Huron farmers. To expound even further, it may be stated it was their re- sponsibility to contest the elec- tion on the grounds that in a democracy it is necessary that the majority rule be strictly en- forced and it would have been wrong to allow an "unwanted" minority group to gain one of the positions through apathy or complacency. It was unquestionably the realization of this responsibility that made the decision to "give" one of the positions to a stub- born opponent such a difficulty. Some may argue that in a democracy everyone has the right to stand for what he thinks is right, and that Melvin Greb, R.R. 2, Dashwood, an oppon- ent to the present mar,<eting sys- tem, was well within his rights to contest one of the 19 com- mitteemen positions. Iit part this is quite correct, but let us not lose sight of the fact that democracy is rule by the majority, and there must be certain bonds within which the majority should be restrict- ed, although each case must be judged in regard to its own merits. First and foremost in this particular case is the fact Mr. Greb did not have the privilege of forcing a vote on the grounds that he would not make his views known to the other pro- ducers present; or for that mat- ter, all other county producers who would have been informed of his stand due to the fact the meeting was well covered by press representatives. To preserve our democracy it is imperative that a candi- date for any such responsible position state his views and stand, especially when the vot- ers are being asked to decide on a "yes" and "no" issue. Secondly, after three elec- tions in which the supporters of the present plan have received overwhelming confidence from Huron hog producers, and have even appeared to silence their HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR TRACTOR LATELY?

Garniss, died in Huronview, Clinton, on February 27th, in her 89th year, after a long period of illness. She was the daughter of the late Frank B. Scott and Marg- aret Ishister and lived all her life in Bluevale and locality, Surviving are: one daughter, Margaret Olive, (Mrs. N. B. McEachern) of Downsview, On- tario; one brother, John Mal- colm Scott, of Bluevale; three grandchildren and one great grandchild. A brother, Frank, and a sister, Olive, predeceas- ed her. Mrs. Garniss was a member of Knox Presbyterian Church, Bluevale, and a life member of the W.M.S. of the church since 1944. Formerly she was secretary -treasurer of the Blue - vale Women's Institute, and also secretary -treasurer of the local branch of the Canadian Bible Society for ten years. The funeral service was held on Saturday, February 29th, in the R. A, Currie and Sons Fu- neral home. Rev. T. E. Ken- nedy of Knox Presbyterian waning opposition on this basis; there can be no argument in favour of Mr. Greb having any right to cause an election -- which could cost anywhere from $300 to $700 when he was the only one out of over 3,500 pro- ducers apparently against the marketing scheme. Mr. Greb still maintains the right to his own opinions and the freedom of speech to ex- press these opinions, but we think this freedom falls consid- erably short of forcing such an election, especially when past returns show that the Dashwood farmer has not even gained strong support from those of his own thinking in the other three elections. The other 19 nominees are to be commended for reaching their decision to have one of them withdraw and not force the needless vote which would have served no purpose in that Huron hog producers are quite evidently in support of the pre- sent marketing system. It is also to be hoped Mr. Greb will take a serious look at his actions and attitude and come to the sensible conclu- sion that he shodld not use the vote he has stubbornly gained. His acclamation was not a victory for those who favour free enterprise, but rather an- other defeat at the hands of the majority of Huron farmers who work so conscientiously to bet- ter their own positions. --Clin- ton News Record. Church, Bluevale, conducted the service, Interment was in Wingham Cemetery Chapel with later in- terment in Bluevale Cemetery. Pallbearers were nephews, Charles Brewer, Walter Sellers, Bert Garniss, Burns Moffatt, and neighbors, A. D. Smith and Arnold Lillow.

The meeting was opened with the Explorer's motto and roll call was answered with a verse of Scripture. The offering was taken by Daryl Walker and Connie Mann led in prayer. The Scripture was read by Lynne Willitts and the comments were given by Mrs. Ross Gray. Mrs. Gray continued the story of "The Golden Coin". The story told of the school where Dod attended. The child- ren were studying cruelty to animals and the Master suggest- ed that if the holes in the road were fixed the carts wouldn't get stuck and the oxen wouldrit be beaten so much. The child- ren decided to fix the road themselves by carrying rocks to fill the holes. While the children gather- ed the stones at the river, the women were there doing their washing. While the children were busy, a small boy won- dered off and Dod rescued hire just as a crocodile was about to reach him. Dod's bravery soon reached the ears of all the village and the men of the vil- lage all decided to help the school fix the road. Dod soon found that there was pleasure in working hard. Children Make Easter Baskets BLUEVALE--The Mission Band met on Sunday morning with a good attendance. The offering was taken up by Don- na Gamble and dedicated with unison prayer. Mrs. Glenn McKercher and Mrs. Ross Mann assisted the children in the making of their Easter baskets.
