MAN! OF THE readers of the
Home paper with the News will
be getting their copy of the News -
Record at least one day late this
week . . For this we are very
sorsy . . And most of the blame
can be laid at the feet of the
Hurricane Hazel . . . Plans were
to install a new Hiedelberg press
in the back •shop .at the first of
the week . . . The press and a
mechanic were to arrive on Mon-
day m'orning . . and byWednes-
day noon we all felt the job would
be done . . But Hazel interrupted
the transport of the press so that
it did not arrive until noon or
Monday. . . the mechanic did not
get here until noon on Tuesday
. . . The press was finally in place
by Wednesday at noon
mechanic was still at work on
Thursday afternoon . . The back
shop looks as if Hurricane Hazel
had been doing her little bit right
there . , . And so through all of
this the paper is late . . .

WE'RE SORRY . and at the
s,ame time we have cause to be
glad, too . . . For the back shop

In the long run it is expected
that with it, time on commercial

as yet it cannot be imitated suc-
cessfully. It is the responsibility
and 1 would add, obligation,- of
every dairyman to so handle and
treat milk and its Products as to
preserve this priceless character-
istic. There is no substitute for
quality.
The reasons dairying through-
out the world is being maintained
are many, but briefly it is because
of its relative stability, the good-
ness of the foods produced—and
its importance in maintaining the
fertility of the top six inches of
the earth without which nothing
could exist.
He mentioned the Netherlands,
a great dairy country, which is
reported as having the lowest in-
fant' mortality rate in the world
and an average life span of over
70 years. Also as an example,
Mx. Leslie concluded. his re-
marks with figures taken from a
recent release of the National
Dairy Council of Canada which
emphasized the bigness of the in-
dustry, "There are more than two
million people living on dairy
farms in Canada; more than 200,-
000 more are employed in ham-
lets, towns and cities of Canada,
processing the 1.8 billion quarts
of fresh market milk; 350 million
pounds of butter; 70 million
pounds of cheddar cheese, 44 mil-
lion pounds of process cheese, 230
million pints of ice cream, 326
million pounds of concentrated
whole milk products and over 100
million pounds of concentrated
milk by-products which were pro-
duced in 1953. The gross value
of dairyingproducts totalled
$964,800,800:,
"Based on the average earnings
in the manufacturing industry,

ased per hopes work to -day corn -

b'rorn the amount of activity
presently taking place in .1-luron
County," Mr. Hamlin said, "it can
be assumed that the parties carry-
ing on such work feel that it is
prospective oil and gas country,
and that by intensive and continu-
ed efforts new thforrnation and
knowledge will be obtained vvhich
Will, eventually, result in success-
ful commercial discoveries being
made."
."Approxiroately 26 wells have
been drilled in the county," Mr,
Hamlin continued, "and of this
number Imperial Oil Limited, has
drilled 17 and partiCipated in• one.
Practically all the drilling has
taken . place in the past four
years.".
At Zurich two gas wells have
recently been brought in at a
depth of •from 1,800 to 1,900 feet,.
One well is on the farm of . Carl ;
Heideman, northwest" .of Zurich,.
about one-quarter mile from the
first one on Bob Clausius' farm,
Mr. Hamlin stated that the ex-,
ploration and search for oil and
gas is a risky and speculative busi--.
ness. While the results in Huron,
COunty to date have not been suf-
ficiently encouraging to make any
glowing forecast for the future:.
yet we intend to keep working,
exploring and searching in this,
area in the hope that finally our
efforts will prove to be justified:
- Representatives of a gas comp-
any approached the Seaforth
Council last week, and a special
meeting was called in that town
Monday to hear him. .
According to Clerk L. D. Hol-
land, who attended the Exeter
meeting, there seems to be good
possibility of there being oil and
gas in this district. Nothing has
been drilled commercially for oil
in the County as yet.
The company representatives
reviewed oil drilling process in
Ontario since 1859.
The next meeting of the Assoc-
iation will be held in Brussels in
the spring of 1955.

Totals 20 Tons ,
,A quite successful paper colleo-
tion was made by members of the
Clinton 'Branch No. 140, Canadian

Proctor, chairman in charge of'
the operation, estimates the total

20 tons.
Citizens were especially' careful

Legion members say that the pap-

easy to handle this year as they
have ever seen it.
There may be some householders who are not in the habit of
saving papers, and if they would
like to start saving now, there

will be happy to collect it then.
