A set of amendments to the
Highway Traffic Act were in-
troduced in the House this week.
Ontario will have the power
to require safety devices on mo-
tor vehicles and to set mini-
mum standards for tires.
The amendments also pro-
vide for the recognition of in-
ternational drivers' permits in
Ontario, permit non-paying
passengers in motor vehicles to
sue the driver if they are injur-
ed in accidents involving gross
negligence and make it illegal
to operate a motor vehicle
when the windshield or windows
are covered by snow or frost.
In addition the amendments re-
quire vehicles approaching from
both directions to stop for
school buses.
Negotiations have been tak-
ing place with the presidents of
the Canadian auto companies
with the view of encouraging
them to build into their cars
such safety devices as four-way
flashes to flash all stop lights
and turn signals when a car is
stopped on the highway as well
as providing separate brake sys-
tems for front and rear wheels.
The section granting non-
paying passengers the right to
sue drivers who are guilty of
gross negligence affords partial
protection to such passengers.
They have had no right to col-
lect in court or from insurance
when injured in accidents.
This will undoubtedly be a
record breaking session in terms
of length. There are still 13
departmental estimates to be
dealt with, which will at the
very least take up six weeks.
This will put the end of the ses-
Drivers Needed
For Plowing Match
President Bob Fotheringham
presided for the regular meet-
ing of the Huron Junior Farmers
and Junior Institute in Clinton
last Wednesday. Shirley Jaques
was secretary. Don Pullen gave
a financial report and again re-
minded members that "slow
moving vehicle" signs are avail-
able.
Dave Inglis of Walkerton was
introduced as extension assist-
ant for Huron by Don Pullen.
Don McKercher reported that
field day will be held at the
high school and park in Sea-
forth June 18. A ten pound ham
will be the prize for the club
with the highest score on field
day.
Morris Love gave further re-
ports on the plowing match and
said there is still a need for
tractor drivers. To qualify one
must be a member of Junior
Farmers and have a driver's li-
cense. Anyone who would like
to take part in the match is to
contact Mr. Love at R.R. 3 Ex-
eter.
Grace Campbell called the
roll and read the minutes. The
Century Farm signs are avail-
able at a cost of $1.00 to the
farmers and will be erected by
the Juniors as a Centennial and
Community Betterment project.
Nominations were asked to
be sent immediately for the
Eastern Ontario and United Na-
tions trips and delegates for
Junior Farmer camp. Elsie Doig
reported on a reunion in Hamp-
ton County for overseas dele-
gates from Canada and Britain.
that the estimates have receiv-
ed more detailed and searching
scrutiny than has been the case
in the past.
Add to this the fact that a
number of major bills have yet
to come before the House for
discussion, including the re-
distribution bill. It looks like
a long hot summer.
Neighbors Held
Work Bee on
Procter Farm
The co-operative spirit of
early Morris township pioneers
still thrives there today.
When Robert Procter of R. R.
5 Brussels, on the 4thLine of
Morris Township was hospitaliz-
ed recently with a heart attack,
friends from the 3rd, 4th and
5th Lines of Morris Township
converged on his farm to hold
a bee,
Twelve tractors prepared
about 50 acres of corn land for
sowing. Some were plowing,
some disking and the rest were
harrowing.
Those who turned out to help
were Frank and Joyce Procter,
Alex and Herman Nethery,
Clare and Glen VanCarnp,
Glenn Coultes, Garner Nichol-
son, Harold Keating, Albert
Bacon, Donald Procter, John
Nixon, Ted Fear, Roland Marks,
Harold Procter, Charles Proc-
ter and Al Stark.
Ladies who helped were Mrs,
Ted Fear, Mrs. Clare Van-
Camp, Mrs. Garner Nicholson
and Mrs. Leslie Bolt.
Mr. Procter's condition was
reported to be improving in
hospital. He was able to sit up
in bed last Friday.
Local Buyers at
Holstein Sale
The Ontario Breeders' sale
of Holsteins last week at the
Shore Sales Arena, Glanworth,
realized $55, 985 on 76 head
for the excellent average of
$136 each.
Only three bulls were sold,
to hold up production, body condition ...
SU PPLEM ENT GRASS
WITH PURINA
Good grass is a benefit. Good dairymen take advan-
tage of every acre of pasture they have. Cows love
grass and-it stimulates milk flow.
Yet, good dairymen know that grass is 85% water.
As summer advances it turns brown, losses its palata-
bility and is even less nutritious.
Tests at the Purina Dairy Center proved that cows
fed a grain supplement with grass produced up to
20% more milk, They kept up in body condition,
too, and held up better in production in following
lactations.
Visit us at the store, or give us a ring. We'd like to
suggest Purina's Research-proved plan for supple-
menting grass to help you get more milk from your
herd over the summer.
