CIUISER• GETS TOSSED - IN THREE -OAR SMASH Just about all of the compass got into the act in a three -car smash up at the in- tersection of South and Blake streets Saturday afternoon. As a result, Constable Har- old Highton of the Ontario Provincial Police narrowly' missed serious injury. The collision occured when a car being driven north on South street by Gordon Vance, of Goderich, collided with a cruiser being driven by Con- ' stable Highton east on Blake street. The impact when the Vance car hit the right back fender of the cruiser, sent the cruiser into the air, turned it com pletely around, and the back end of the police car came smashing down on the front end of a car driven by Harry Cooke, of Goderioh, which was stopped at the intersection, headed west on Blake. Then, the Vance car hit the cruiser again, this time in the front ends ' Constable 4..H ighton was toss- ed over to the passenger side of the front seat and his head struck the' windshield, sllattei . ing it. All three cars suffered con- siderable damage. There are no stop signs at the intersec- tion.

Elected At Annual Meeting Of County Federation Of Agriculture Huron County Federation • of Agriculture's annual meeting at Londesboro Thursday of last week was one of the most outstanding in its history with an almost 100 per cent attendance of all directors and representatives of- the com- modity groups for the 16 town- ships in the county on hand. Elections' for 1954, as conducted by G. W. Montgomery, agricultural representative for Huron County saw Wilfred Shortreed, Walton, as the new president. He succeeds Robert McKercher R.R. 1, Dublin, who held that office for the past two years. First vice- president elected was Douglas Mc. Neil, Carlow, and Winston Shapton. Exeter, will be second vice=presi dent. Gordon Greig, Bluevale, i• the appointed secretary-fieldnian. Jack 'Brodrick, St. Catharines, a past president of the Ontario' Fed- eration of Agriculture and a mems ber of the National Policy Cone mittee—a committee which drafts agricultural policies, was guest speaker. Mr. Brodrick told the farmers, that in order for a sound agricul- tural policy to be built, that they as producers must build within *tthemselves, and do their own ma; ing.. "There is a danger con- nected with the system of govern- mental markets," he said, asking "How can we attempt to • build a long term policy, when we have elections every four years?" Here he referred to elections in both Great Britain and the United States—"In Great Britain, Church ill immediately denationalized the buying and importation of foods into Great Britain—while Eisen- hower was elected by the American people on the policy of economy. Foresee Surpluses "Predictions in Canada for 1954 all point to surplus production, lower- incomes, and higher trans- portation costs, -even to our own markets. . Mr. Brodrick outlined the draft prepared in late November in Ot- tawa by the National Policy Corn• mittee. He said in conclusion that he hoped that the farmers in Huron County will discuss farm policies. through their township federation, their local commodity groups and farm forums. - Close to 250 people al.tended the meeting which commenced art noon with a turkey banquet, served in the Community Hall by the I,ondes boro Women's Institute. A resolution committee appoint- ed by President McKercher, includ- ed Charles Coultes, Belgrave; Harry Sturdy, Auburn; Bert Lobb, Holmesville; Russell Bolton, Dub lin; all past presidents, and Doug- las McNeil, R.R. 6, Goderich, vice • president. • Livestock RAtdticcg -.resident McKercher, in his re- port, stated that Canadians have in the past two or three years seen prices for their livestock products drastically reduced, either because of disease or from loss of export markets. "In our cash crop field, particularly grains," he said, "the price has been more or less main • tained only because of marketing agreements of one kind or an- other.." Now many of the Crops are pil- ing up, in almost unmanageable heaps, and are in solve cases, said GODERICH PAVILION DANCING WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS SATURDAY—Johnny Brenan and his orchestra.

Gordon Greig, Bluevale, secre- tary-fieldman, said that the feder- ation's financial position was excel- lent this year. In almost all cases, with the exception of those which are giving a grant, the townships are paying the two -fifth mill levy for federation fees. Plans for next year include a calfhood vaccination campaign within the county. The federation assisted again this year with the warble fly program. An insurance program in the county added $526 to the federa- tion account—which has enabled an office to be kept in Clinton. Mr. Greig reported on the suc- cess of a leadership training course held for township and county fed- eration personnel, on parliament- ary procedure. A similar course may be held next year, he said. In 1953 a grant of $10 to 80 youths ineach township nominated by his township federation, who attended the farm economics course at the O.A.C., Guelph, was paid by the county federation. Elevator Fund The Goderich Elevatt* Fund provided a grant ,of $10 for anyone under 30 years ' attending the winter short course at the O.A.C. Mr. Greig said that there is still $128 in the account, and that a ra5-54will be • available .again !n The 1953 field day, sponsored annually by the federation, while it was not successful from a finan- cial view was a success from a pro - I motional standpoint, he said. Mr. Greig said that it has been sun= gested that an agricultural display a similar to that sponsored by the federation at the county's first trade fair at Clinton in August, be placed at_ local fairs within the county. Brief reports were heard froth . Charles Coultes, Belgrave, of the , Beef Cattle Committee, and Bert Lobb, Holmesville, of the Hog Pro- ducers' Committee. G. W. Mont- gomery, agricultural representative for the county, -paid tribute to the federation on its success in so many younger men attending the annual meeting. Warden of 'Huron County, Alvin W. Kerslake, Hensall, Elston Cardiff, Brussels, M.P. for Huron, and Tom Pryde, Exeter, M.P.P..for Huron, all spoke briefly. Harry Sturdy, Auburn, moved a vote of appreciation to the W.I. for the dinner, and Mrs. Stanley Lyon, president, replied. tfd7CINta GAY_ Boxing Day, December 2ti - ;:all be declared a public holiday, it was. ,decided at a meeting of Town Council last Friday night.

THE VOICE OF TEMPER- ANCE • Drinking is the downfall ole many teenagers who get into trouble with -the law. This is the opinion of Alfred H. Sump- ter, recently appointed proba- tion officer for the York County courts of Willowdale and New- market. "It brings out the ugly side in theni," he says. "They may steal through con- ceit or greed or malice, 'but they- wouldn't do it if they were !ober." Sobriety is one of the conditions of probation under -which the offender is given suspended sentence with a period of supervision under the probation officer, usually a year or more. Mr. Sumpter's cases include adults of all ages, but the majority are in the late 'teen-age group and are first offenders. York County, Mr. Sumpter's territory has a variety - and multiplicity of liquor outlets. It would seem that their harvest is heavy. This is- one crop our Huron County does not grow well.
