Onceagain the Ontario Pork Congress is asking fellow pork producers to join the "Innovators Club" which recogniz- es the many different and unique ideas that the Ontario Pork Produc- er uses to keep in the forefront of the swine industry. The Ontario Pork Congress is offering these in- novators an opportunity to receive recognition for these ideas and, at the same time, pass these ideas on to fellow producers. Your innovation may pertain to any segment of pork production, such as feeding, breeding, produc- - tion, financial management, dis- ease prevention, manure utiliza- tion, ventilation, energy or labour- saving devices. The innovation need not be complex -- often a simple idea is very beneficial. - The. Committee will recognize all those producers who send an en- try to the- congress. You will re- ceive a crested hat indicating your enrollment in the "Innovators Club." If your idea or. device is judged of benefit to the Ontario - Pork Industry, your name will .be put on the "Innovators Honour Roll" and you will receive a framed membership certificate. The top three entries -will receive an Ontario Pork Congress Innova- tors Gate Sign, framed member- ship certificate and crested hat." The Farm Show at high school This year's spring production at South Huron District High School is The, Farm Show, a play already familiar and dear to the hearts of Huron County audiences since its 1976 staging in Clinton.

The show runs from Wednesday May 18 to Saturday May 21 at the high school. A single performance will also be staged at the Huron Country Playhouse on June 4. Tickets go on sale April 18 and can be purchased at the school or at Greeting Card World. Jr..
