Reeve and two councillors at Mon- day's meeting expressed their will- ingness to stay in council work for another ; year, should their names be placed on the nominat- ing • slate on November 28. Reeve Melvin Crich expressed his intention' of remaining as reeve for at least two years more, if the people wanted him with the intention of standing for warden on the county council in 1957 if the opportunity arose. Both May- or M. J. Agnew and Deputy Reeve Stanley, stated that they would stay in if nominated,' Councillor Bert Gliddon, aftee five years in council, stated his definite decision to step out, of the council this year. He said, "I have no ambition to be a politic- ian. I have come into council to play my part ,for the community. I believe we have gotten a lot of things done this year for the money we have spent." Councillor George Knights, who has been a councillor for three. years, stated that he would not seek re-election, remarking that • the stress of council work has not been essentially good for his health.. Councillor George Beattie ex- pressed his regret in losing Coun- cillor Gliddon, especially from the Cemetery Board, He said, "I would not like to remain in Coun- cil if it should turn out to be an- other stormy year. Believe I'll take this month to consider what to do." Councillor Robert Irwin stated that he had learned a lot in the past year. "It's been hectic. We've (been criticised by people on the I believe the press has overstep- ped the mark on some `'occasions and 'have swayed the people to their, own way of thinking. Since midsummer things have smoothed down and there has been a reduct- ion in the amount of ill -publicity. I believe I may plan to stay on if the people would like me to. Councillor Norman Livermore stated that he would run for elect- ion if nominated. Councillor Nelson Trewartha appreciated the good -fellowship shown among . the mayor, reeve, deputy reeve, councillors' and the press. He said that he enjoyed municipal life, and there .were coming men on the council. "My greatest pleasure is in coaching these coming men, to gradually developthem to take the import- ant chairs when the time comes. I think it is a good sign when we can thrash out our problems in committee. Some of my friends in Clinton are urging me to come back into council. Believe I was right at last election tithe not to stand against Deputy Reeve Stan- ley. He has gained a good name at the County, and has done a good deal for Clinton this year. S may, let my name stand, likely for council. If it's filled up; then I'll drop out and gall it a day." •Councillor Beattie spoke fol- lowing the declarations. He said, "Where do we go from here? There are no vacancies. There are groups in town who put everything first before the com- munity. We've had criticisms throughout the year. Why do these people not now get together and put forth candidates for the council?" S. Middleton Wins Championship; Other Apple Show (Continued from,Page One) hel for $4.

Thompson, with an attendance of 11 members. The radio topic for discussion was "Fire on the Farre". • The first question for discussion was: how many farm fires within ten miles of your forum in the last year, and the answer was— ten. It was decided that farmers should: take proper precautions with all electrical equipment, keep matches away from children, check chimneys and keep stoves and pipes cleaned, not start fires with coal oil, not run tractor - motor in the barn, watch brood- ing rooding heat bulbs, and have proper guards over them, have lightning rods on house and barns; have periodic inspection of electrical wiring, keep rubbish cleaned up in attics, cellars, garages, as oily rags, etc.; take care in smoking; and check anything which might cause spontaneous combustion. If a fire does start, the farmer shduld have adequate water sup- ply, hose and ladders on hand, good fire extinguishers; keep calm (as possible) in emergencies, and close doors and windows, if pos- sible, in room where fire starts. It was asked, "What your neighbourhood could do to organ- ive more effectively to fight ser- ious fires?" Arrange with near -by town for use of equipment, Apply the golden rule and rush to your neighbor's aid, find out from Bell Telephone how we may summon our neighbours hurriedly in time of emergency, and have a list of neighbourhood telephone lines handy at the 'phone. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Mer- rill. FRIENDLY FEW (By Mrs. F. Riley) The Friendly Few Farm Forum held their first meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Me - Gregor, The discussion was on How to get more teachers and how to help them keep their pro- fession and relieve, the teacher shortage.

LIVE WIRE FORUM (By Mrs. B. Shobbrook) The Live Wire Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Archambault with 22 adults present. The topic was: "Fire on the Farm." Discussion was under the leadership of Bert Hunking. There were 11 fires re- ported within 10 miles of the for- um last year. There were many ways to pre- vent fires, Be careful of smoking habits, clean stove pipes, have lightening ,rods and hydro wiring inspected, keep Matches in safe place. To control fires, keep a cool head; call fire department; in small fires use water, salt or baking soda; keep house doors shut. It was thought that farm ponds would be a good thing for water supply. The business meeting was con- ducted. Stewart Ament was el- ected assistant chairman owing to resignation of William Hunk- ing. Ie was moved that $3 fee be paid on November 21. Words of appreciation were heard from Douglas Archambault, Stewart Ament and Mrs. Joe Hunking. It was decided to have a turkey sup- per and Christmas party in Lon- desboro home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Snyder. -- PARR LINE FORUM (By our Hensel]. correspondent) Sports News On Page Eleven Parr Line Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Goni- on Coleman with 20 adults and six children present. The topic for discussion was "Fire on the Farm." • There were four farm fires within the last year in that local- ity. Carelessness is sometimes the main cause for fires. Every- one should practise good house- keeping in the house and barn. Don't turn on elements on the stove when not in use. Don't leave oily rags lying around. Do not leave stoves unchecked and then leave the house. Do not light fires with inflamabie oils. Keep matches away from child- ren. Don't smoke when working in the barn or near any inflame- ble material. Keep chimneys clean and in good repair. Don't fill a tractor with gas when the manifold is still hot. Everyone should check their own wiring dr have someone check it. Do not rely on the inspector, he may not be able to come to your farm for quite a while. Sometimes it is hard to control a fire, because it may have got- ten out of hand but you may be able to save other buildings. You should always have your fire ex- tinguisher handy. Have a good water' supply. Some members thought that a good farm pond would be very useful to have in case of fire. Plan exits in case of a house fire. Above all be calm. Another good suggestion was-nnever use water on gas or We• Nave The /Vere Revolutionary TRAN S PA PLASt1. FLExO�GL For, Windows of All Kiri s &Hundreds of Other Uses!

NEW ROUTE PLANNED FOR HIGHWAY 21, MINISTER SAYS Plans are near completion on the new route of Highway 21 crossing the Maitland River at Goderich, Ontario Highways Min- ister, James N. Allan, told a meet- ing at the Bedford Hotel there last week.—Signal-Star. "We are only four: centuries old — and the Canadian scene has never been painted in its own splendid colors," said Mr. Moore. 'Too many of us know' too little about the country welive in. It is a land of beauty, in every sense of the word, a land of unexcelled beauty." "While we enjoy today all the privileges of citizenship, there pass in review before us, the pion- eers who have made this country great." "We are a fortunate people be- cause we have peace and plenty, when half the people of the world never get enough to eat," he said. "Sometimes we are prone to grumle but if we had our choice we wonder, if we would change our citizenship in Canada for any other country in the world." Bert Dunn, Bayfield, first vice- president of the association thank- ed Mr. Moore. President Hallahan expressed appreciation to the other churches for their co-operation. William Gow on behalf of the association presented agricultural represent- ative G. W. Montgomery with a gift.

NEARLY 10,000 VISIT HURON COUNTY MUSEUM Number of visitors to the Huron County Museum thisyear is ap- proaching the 10,000 mark. This will be exceeded before the year ends, it is hoped.

There should be an agreement be- tween the township and the near- est town's fire brigade. Don't go to a fire empty handed. Take buckets and fire extinguishers. On a rural party line, one long continuous ring is the signal of a fire in the community. One good suggestion was, if you are going to a fire just for curiosity—stay at home. You can only hinder those who are trying to help. After the discussion period, a few games of progressive euchre were played. The winners were: ladies, Mrs. Stewart Blackwell, Mrs. Howard Adkins; gentlemen, Wilfred Mousseau, Carl Reichert; travelling lone hands prize was won by Howard Adkins.

This is the time of year to check: BRAKES IF there is too much play or if you you have to 'pump' the pedal, IF the brakes pull to one side, IF you cannot stop in the legal distance—IF any of these symptoms are present, your brakes need attention—for safety's sake, STEERING IF there is more than 1" of play in the steering wheel, you need a steering and front end adjustment—for safety's sake. TIRES IFyour tires show uneven wear, IF your tires haven't been switched in the past 4,000 miles, IF your tires haven't been checked lately for proper pressure, you need to have them checked— for safety's soke.
