TIN' HOD, C. ton, in e0111111enlilly on Tues- day's annotinecuteni by the I Ion W. A. Stewart, tf ,mis,ter 01 agriculture, that a comprehen- sive research priTrain into all phases of whitv produc- tion would be carried out in Huron County this year, stated: "I regard this as a very impor- tant step which 'will have great influence On the of time bean growing indwtry. I am particularly gratified, too, that this progratn will he undertaken in Huron County, the principal bean growing area in the pro- vince." "As I made reference in my speech during the last session of the house, it is appropriate, I believe, for Inc n.' present cer- tain views, because in the rid- ing of Huron, which I am proud and privileged to represent and which comprises the southern two-thirds of Huron County, the production of white beans constitutes one of the principal cash crops in this farming area of Ontario. In fact, it is safe to say in the comparative sense, that Huron is now the largest producing area for this import- ant cash crop in Ontario, in- deed in all Canada. While pro• duction is spreading both north and east, the southern portion of Huron would still account for the major volume of produc- tion. It seems obvious that the present and foreseeable future holds promise for greatly in- creased production potential. "It occurs to me that with more aggressive pursuit of our endeavours in this direction with some special field testing and subsequent selection and plant breeding, ming our own facilities as a measure of future collaboration in this field, much could In' done to develop the potential of the industry." With this announcement by the Minister of Agriculture, we now appear to be on the thresh- old of exciting possibilities in terms of expanding our produc- tion areas. Beef Producers To Hold Annual Lawrence Markusse, well- known beef producer of Wyom- ing, Ontario, will be the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron County Beef Pro- ducers, in the Dept. of Agricul- ture board room on Tuesday, January 25th at 1;45 p.m. Mr. Markusse will discuss how he personally operates and manages his beef enterprise and why he does things the way he does. This should he an interesting meeting, including the elec- tion of township directors. 4-H AGRICULTURAL CLUB LEADERS' ANNUAL The lIttron County 4-II agri- cultural club leaders will hold their annual meeting at the On- tario Department of Agriculture Board Room in Clinton on Wed- nesday, January 20tb at 11:00 a.m. 4-II work during the past year will be reviewed and plans will be formulated for the com- ing year.

Huron FOA Makes Recommendation On Snow Hedges Huron County Federation of Agriculture met in the board rooms, Clinton, on Thursday with Charles Thomas in charge. Elmer Hunter reported for the property committee re snow- fence hedges. A recommenda- tion is being sent to the On- tario Federation of Agriculture that snow hedges not be placed on productive farm land, but as an alternative fast growing trees be planted on road allow- ances so snow can sweep under- neath; and that the Department of Highways take an easement on a strip of land for hedge with room for crop to be grown on both sides. Doug Miles, agricultural re- presentative, reported that there would be no seed fair this year. Instead, a one-day Hur- on County agricultural confer- ence will be held at Exeter, sponsored by the Soil and Crop Improvement Assoc., and the Federation of Agriculture. The education cottunittce reported that information meet- ings will be held On Workmen's Compensation and that a 20- minute period each county meeting will be set aside for an educational program with this committee responsible. Mr. hunter felt that a pre- sentation should he made to county council concerning a planning committee for rural development, with a resource person available to help in this matter.

Witherden your telephone manager Arms, Instants, and Tongues If you're good at riddles, it shouldn't he very hard to find the answer to these three questions: What can reach across a continent, yet, has no hands? What takes you places in an instant, yet never moves itself? What speaks in a thousand tongues, yet has none of its own? The answer is of course your telephone that easy-to- use convenience that takes you places every day, helps the family in so many ways. It helps you get news and infor- mation, makes dates, invite guests, arrange meetings and social activities. It's a very comfortable way to go shop- ping in blustery January days without getting your feet cold . . . and the only way to dheek with the baby-sitter without leaving the party. There's certainly no question that the telephone has many uses. Whenever you need it—Whatever you need it for—it's always there to call on. Telephone Chains—Lifelines For the Elderly For the benefit of Wingham residents who may not have seen a recent item in "Telephone News," the leaflet which accompanies telephone bills, I'd like to sum it up again here. It's one of those things that automatically makes you wonder why it wasn't thought of long ago. It concerns elderly people—particularly those who live alone— and the fear that sudden illness or accident may one day prevent them from oven reaching the phone to call for help. The answer to this problem, as suggested by the Leaside (Ontario) branch of the Red Cross, is a "telephone chain" of five or six elderly people who phone each other every day in a pre-arranged order. That is, each chain member makes one phone call and receives one call every day. If a chain member cannot reach the member he is to call, he notifies the member who acts as Chain Captain. If the Chain Captain cannot reach the member within a few hours, he in turn notifies the chain's sponsoring group (which can be a church, social or women's club, or any group of interested citizens) and one of the sponsors im- mediately makes a visit to find out the reason for the un- answered phone. Apart from the obvious security of mind such a system brings, it has other advantages as well. It is the elderly- people themselves who check up on one another, giving them a definite role and responsibility to enjoy, and of course very close friendships can easily develop from the daily conversations. Information on suggested procedures for organizing a Telephone Chain is available in brochure form from the Senior Citizens' Committee, Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross Society, 460 Jarvis Street, Toronto 5, Ontario. * Anon And finally, in a salute to the New Year we're now in, a few words from an anonymous philosopher: "It's wise to take an interest in your future — that's Where you're going to spend the rest of your life."
