"The trouble was located in a very few minutes and reme- died almost as quickly, but by this time dark was descending on the lakeshore and Mr. Pym decided to remain at Murdoch's for the night. During the night the Huron township plow fought its way through heavy drifts to open the road part way and on Saturday morning Mr. Pym re- turned to his Kincardine home with another south shore resi- dent, Dave Emmerton, who was the first one to make it out, travelling south to the eighth and across to highway 21.

EAST WAWANOSH FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE ANNUAL MEETING will be held in the BLYTH MEMORIAL HALL on THURSDAY, MARCH 18th Commencing at 1:30 p.m. To present the financial report, to elect directors and auditors for the ensuing year, and to discuss any other business which may properly come before the meeting. SIMON HALLAHAN, Secretary. 11-18b • 1I Last week's Kincardine News carried a story about Jack Pym, a lineman with the P.U.C. there and a former resident of Wingham. The story reads as follows: "When the power went off at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Murdock last Thursday night at the height of the snow storm a call was hurriedly plac- ed to the Ontario Hydro office at Wingham. "Snow blocked roads and dangerous driving conditions made it impossible for the Ont- ario Hydro to get to the farm house on the tenth concession of Huron township, so a request for aid was phoned to the Kincar. dine Public Utilities office. "Here lineman Jack Pym volunteered to make the four mile trip, suggesting that he travel on snowshoes. After atry at these unwieldy items in the light snow, he set off on skis despite the fact he had not skied in almost twenty years. "Setting out about one - thirty from Queen and Kincar- dine Avenue, he arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Row- cliffe, one mile down the shore, travelling first on the road and later along the lake where he found going easier. "Two hours after he left Drama and Choir Festival March 12 Huron County Junior Farmers met in the agricultural board rooms on Wednesday of last week with Tom Cunningham in the chair. There was an excel- lent attendance for this first meeting. Don Pullen gave the treasur- er's report. Bert Moggach, agricultural engineer for Huron, discussed the possibility of the Junior Farmers selling safety signs for use on farm implements, but a decision was held over until the next meeting when more infor- mation will be available. Committees for the year were drawn up and plans were discussed for the holding of a hootenanny and a New Year's Dance. Jim Spivey, chairman of the Drama Festival Committee reported that plans are develop- ing very well and a full even- ing's entertainment is schedul- ed. Tickets were distributed to be sold for the Drama and Choir Festival on March 12 in Clinton High School, in conjunction with the Seed Fair. It was decided to form a hockey team to play the CKNX Sports in Clinton on March 26. M.

WINGHAM FEED MILL Dial 3574060 Wingham DOES SHUR•GAIN FERTILIZER SPREAD BETTER? At a quick glance SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer may look very much r like most other kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important difference. Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones consist of a dry mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form. As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can compare it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out a handful of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong balls—and that is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers. When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with any broadcast -type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the smallest to the largest) of free -running SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer is nutritionally balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of complete and even intake of all the plant food by your crops. There are no excesses in one area and starvation in s another with SHUR-GAIN.
