The award is donated by Mr. and Mrs. Doug Fortune of RR 1, Wingham, and this is the third year it has been presented. Previous recipients were Keith Roulston and Gordon Hill.

He also served on the executive in other positions and on the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

In other business at the meeting the members approved MRS. WILLIAM SOTHERN a number, of amendments to the federation's constitution. Most of these were of the "houseclean- ing" variety, bringing the consti- tution into line with actual prac- tice or making minor changes to wording, and they passed without opposition. Mr. Gunby, who read the proposed amendments, said they originated with a reviewing committee and had already been approved by the board of directors. Members also heard Gordon Hill explain that the federation's help is no longer needed with an agricultural project at the University of Sierra Leone in Africa, though it still has a financial obligation of $3,000 to cover. A raffle for a case of butter and a ham \vas held later in the evening to raise some of the money. The federation, together with a number of other agencies, had been supporting the project, which involved establishing a breeding flock of chickens at the university.
