"County Museum" were the
words upon : the signs. So we
went there.
Though wedidn't introduce our-
selves to Curator McNeill, we did
listen for awhile as he discussed
some part of the Museum to his
visitors. Somehow we didn't think
he wouldappreciate a small
mouse in and amongst the stuffed
animals, and through the pianos
and organs. In such objects an
unruly mouse can cause such a
dreadfullot of muss, and it would
take a better talker than we are
to persuade the curator that this
mouse was a "mouse of a different
colour" so to speak.

My, but Huron's museum is a
lovely spot for folks with time
to spend reviewing 'the ways of
our forefathers. The workman-
ship of some of the early pion-
eers was made to last, and cer-
tainly the fine exhibit in Gode-
rich is proof of that, Styles
may have changed a lot, and
but a short time there will-con-
vinee one of that, but we are
left with pride in the inventive-
ness of early Canadians. They
were a fine lot, indeed.

Well, we left "pretty" Goderich
and we've come back to Clinton,
and somehow home seems the best
place of all, after all. Millicent
thinks so, too.

With the Farm Forums
THE IN IN
(By Guy Cwmingham)
The Niners. Forum met last
week at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Percy Vincent, where under the
leadership of Mrs. John Hallam,
the members discussed the topic,
farm policy in relation to produc-
tion.
The Forum felt that there
should be some way to help the
starving countries to get Canada's
surplus food. However, since the
government does not deem this
wise for several reasons, the for-
um could not find a solution to
the problem. A food bank would
be, in their opinion, a big help to
the starving people if the bank.
could be built up in the countries
where, it is required, but without
government help the forum
thought not much could be ac-
•com 'lishgd.
Members thought perhaps a two
price system' might be of some,
help, but did not think price sup-
ports should be given up, espec-
ially now in a time of falling;
prices. ,
This week's meeting was to take
the form of a social evening at
the Orange Hall in Auburn to
which the villagers were invited.
FIRESIDE FORUM
(By Mrs. J. R. Tebbutt)
The members of Fireside Farm
Forum met at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Oliver Anderson for
their weekly meeting on Monday,
February 15, with 19 present.
The topic, "Farm Policy in Re-
lation to Production", was discus-
sed, with many interesting ideas
coming to light. In the opinion
of this forum, a world food bank
would be the ideal method for
feeding the people of the world,
but as this is not a reality yet, a
farmer should produce as much as
possible of some kind of food, in
orderto help the hungry people.
The two -price food system helps
in some measure in getting the
cheaper food to the poorer coun-
tries. The international stabiliz-
ing fund sounds like a good sys-
tem for some countries, but it is
doubtful if it would be advantag-
eous for Canada, where there is
such a variety of climate and
soils, and farms so scattered.
At the close of the discussion
period, a few games of euchre
were enjoyed, winners being: lad-
ies, most games and lone hands,
Mrs. James Howatt; consolation,
Mrs. Eric Anderson; 'men, most
games, Bert Hoggart; lone hands,
Doug Riley; consolation, James
Howatt.
Lunch was served at the con-
clusion of the evening.

FRIENDLY FEW
(By Mrs. Riley)
' The Friendly Few Farm Forum
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
John McDougald on February 15.
Two groups were formed for dis-
cussion. In discussing what to do
with surplus food, one group said
the six ways that were reviewed
were not satisfactory to them.
Group two decided that the far-
mer should try to get some local

the F.A.O. was all right if in

The discussion "What About
Huron County Courthouse" was
thoroughly aired. Warden Dale
gave some outlines and figures
concerning this and we, all thought
Clinton would be ideal but some
items were brought up concerning
this so we left, it to the County
Council.
Mr. and Mrs. Ross McGregor
invited the forum to their home
