Need Pioneer Outlook Agricultural conditions in On- tario now seem to be in a state od uncertainty, said Mr. McTaggart. and might almost be compared to the atmosphere of the times in which the pioneers first settled in Perth and Huron. It seems clear that Western Ontario is on the eve of a period of great population growth, he said, that is going to - make Unpredictable changes in the way of living. "We are having a terrific influx of populatien, and this is all to the good," said Mr. McTaggart. It is predicted by Dr. E. G. Pleva, geographer at the University of Western Ontario, he said, that in the next 25 years the population of London Ontario, will be tripled. "Our forefathers settled here be- . cause they considered that this country had a future," said Mr. McTaggart. "I think that we should approach our tasks in that same frame of,mind." James Douglas, Mitchell, voiced criticism of the action of Huron County Council in cutting its grants to breed associations this year to half of What they had been previously, • while Perth's grants are maintained at the pre- vious level. "We were very much set back this year )) ," said W. R. "Bert" Lob, Three new members were init- Holmesville, "when the County iated into Clinton Branch No. 140, Council did not put our grants Canadian Legion, by K. C.

Along with all other branches of the Canadian Legion in District C, the Clinton branch is organiz- ing for an all-out membership campaign to be held throughout the present year. The immediate objective is a membership increase of at least 25 per cent, and in ad- dition, the Clinton branch is also aiming to play its part in the ef- fort of District C to win one of the awards of $500 offered to the District in the Ontario Command which achieves the greatest ,per- centage increase in membership in 1954, and the District which has the greatest actual gain in mem- bership. To win the award, the District must show an over-all in- crease of 25 per cent over its membership at /December 31, 1954. o THREE CHILDREN HAPT/SED AT RCAF STATION, SUNDAY The service of baptism was con- ducted by Padre Jensen in the Protestant chapel, RCAF Station Clinton, last Sunday afternoon.

Dale, Hullett, said Mr. Lobb, he had been given not just excuses, but reasons," for Huron's economy move to cut grants this year. Mr. Lobb said he expected that next year the grants would be back to their previous levels, "I believe anything that can't support itself should fail," said Richard Etherington. "If your fair can't survive without that .$100 grant, then perhaps your fair should be washed out." Money for county grants comes from all the ratepayers, and is paid out to a relatively small group of breeders, said Mr. Etherington. This money you're spending is your own neighbor's money."
