"We're all in a hell of a, bind," he reminded the farmers saying that the Provincial Government had "turned its back" on them. Mr. Whiting said that if one man sued it would cost him a lot of money but if a large number sued, sharing the cost, it was possible. • Damages will be assessed by each farmer in terms of lost production and the value of cows he was forced to cull.

At the regular recreation meeting held later, John Westbrooke reported the summer softball programs were almost completed. They did not run smoothly and had several hitches. He warmly praised all the coaches and umpires as Well as players and helpers for their unselfish loyal support. The Township would like to publicly thank them for their services. It is the hope of the com- mittee that a softball program evaluation meeting with all townships involved, will be held shortly to discuss and iron out problems that have arisen. It was decided to rent ice in the Bayfield arena starting in January for the Township hockey program. I After some discussion, it was moved that Doug Yeo investigate the possibility of Goderich Township recreation sponsoring a minor hockey team in the Clinton arena. This, they felt would give some respon- sibility to the Township in support of the Clinton arena. Further investigation will follow later, to sponsor a team in the Goderich arena for next year. Gerry Ginn was appointed to select his own committee to set up rules and regulations for the Township Crest contest. The date set for the rules will be announced and presented at the schools on October 8. The deadline for the contest is November 30.
