Clinton News -Record,
Clinton, Ontario
Our exchange visits party is
made up of Barbara Redner,
Prince Edward,County; Marie
Ecker, Wentwort; Charlie Cory,
Perth, and myself. As you know
our trip is sponsored by the On-
tario . Department of Agriculture,
and will last for ten weeks. We
will spend one month in, Scotland
and another in England, Dr. N.
H Nigh, OAC, Guelph, accomp-
anied us on the trip and is visit-.
'ing the agriculturalcolleges in
Britain and Ireland.
We travelled by train to Mont-
real, where we boarded the Em-
press of Scotland' and left for
Greenoch, Scotland on May 18. It.
was .a smooth voyage and all of
us enjoyed it. Since we were
travelling first class we had every
service possible, including break-
fast in bed, six meals a day with
practically any entree you could
mention for dinner or supper. We
tried everything we could think of,
from shrimp to frogs legs.. There
was one waiter for each table,
and ours won a prize for having
served more different dishes than
any of the rest.
Between meals we played gam-
es, such as decktennis, table
tennis, shuffle board, bull board
or cards, and also enjoyed swim-
ming, shows and dances.
We arrived in Greenoch on
May 24, and after having supper
with some of the leading Young
Farmers at Glasgow, our party of
five split up,. with each of us
going to a different section to
stay on farms with members of
the Scottish Young Farmers As-
sociation.
My first week in. Scotland was
spent in the West area with Willie
Armstrong, Lesmahago, Lanark-
shire County, about 20 miles south
of Glasgow. While theme we visit-
ed many of the leading farmers
around the district and also went
on trips to Sterling, Lanark and
Carluke to judging competitions,
markets and fairs. We also drove
to St. Andrew's on the East
Coast; Ayr on the West Coast,
and up around Loch Lomond in
the North.
Farming in Lanarkshire is quite
different from that in Huron
County, and not at all as I had
expected. They have sheep on the
high hills but I would say half of
the remainder is not tilled, as it
is too wet. It cannot be drained
as there is over a foot of moss
and water grass growing on top.
The tillable land is drained
every six yards and is nearly all
in grass except for maybe one
field of oats and one in turnips on
each farm, Everybody seems to
be a dairy farmer and keeps Ayr-
shire cows, The average herd was
about 40 cows and a herd of young
heifers.
They use a great deal of hand
labour and on each farm as well
as the hired men and children
you will find at least two girls
since the women do- the chores
while the men work the fields, on
an, eight-hour day and a five -and
one-half day week. At present
they are busy singling.turnips,and
making grass silage in trench
silos. They usually cut the grass
with a mower, rake itwith a
dump rake, and haul it in long
one horse carts or two wheeled
trailers and tractors.
Next week I will be in Kin-
cardine County of the North East
section, south of Aberdeen.

PC's Annual Rally
'Hears -Health
Minister Phillips
Praise for the immediate action
of the Ontario Government when
the highway scandal broke was
voiced Friday night. ,by Health
Minister Mackinnon .Phillips - at
the Huron Progressive Conservat-
ive rally held at. Pete Eisenbach's'
Grove north of Bayfield.
"Remember the scandal at 'Ot-
tawa last year regarding ;Peta-
wawa and the horses on the pays.
roll?" he said. "They did nothing
about, that."
But in Ontario, the Provincial
Government immediately appoint
ed a select committee to investi-
gate alleged irregularities in the
department. - "
Dr. Philips said that he did not
agree with all of the recommen-
dations of the -,committee. He op-
posed opening'of tenders in public
as the quickest way to turmoil. He
-said that in his own department
tenders were examined by numbers
and the best was accepted without
knowledge of 'the submitting firm..
He was against the proposal
that the road system should be set
up the same as. New York State,
because Ontario was five times. as
large, and New York has three
and a half times as many people
to pay for the work. Also, there
are many Federal highways in
New York, and Canada is just
getting its first. one.
"George Doucett's handing out
of contracts was done on a fair
and square basis," Dr,,PhiIIips said
As for the health department,
he stressed increasing per capita
costs of health units, To run 'a
health unit successfully, he said,
the ideal number of persons -was
about 50,000, and as a result some
units were not operated as they
should be.
He pointed out that in 1950,
when he took over, the cost per
capita was $1.15, and now it had
risen to $1.75.
In three or four years something
must be done, he said. He sug-
gested that instead of having the
units on a county basis, the lines
be redrawn. For instance, Grey
County with 58,000 persons, Bruce
County with 42,000 and Dufferinin
County with 16,000 could be ar-
ranged in two units.
Predicts Election
Tom Pryde, MLA for Huron
South, said the "intimation" was
that a provincial election would be
held within the next year or 18
months. He also squelched any
rumors that he would not be run-
ning in that election.
Elston Cardiff, MP for Huron,
said that apparently we are just
on the edge of an election and we
might be in the midst of one
"sooner than we think,"

are a specialty. Thursday night
she was a guest of the. Bayfield
4 -If Club meeting at the home of
Stewart Middleton, R.R. 3, Clin-
ton.
On the- whole she feels that
the farm buildings she has seen
thus far are more labor-saving
than those in her country. How-
ever machinery and implements
are much on a par,
On the "estate" of 800 acres
five men assist her father and two
brothers in stock raising—mostly
Hereford cattle—and some grain
crops. Keeping house for her
brother, who farms along with his
father, some 800 acres, is no idle
task: She said that two months'
notice of her trip to Canada was
barely enough time to put her
house in shape, as well as her club
work. '
Jean has served as vice-chair-
man and chairman of the Young
Farmers of her district, and the
County Federation, which has a
membership of 630 in some 15
clubs.
The experience gained from the
club work in the past four years
has been varied and enjoyable.
After the Huron County visit
comes the Ontario Junior Farmer
Field Day at Guelph, June 19, and
then a visit in South Simcoe
County.
