Township F. of A
Annual Held
By Goderich Twp.
p
Speaking at the annual meeting
of the Goderich Township Federa-
tion of Agriculture in Goderich
Collegiate auditorium last Friday
evening, Charles McGinnis, Iro-
quois, congratulated the men of
Huron County for their active
contributions to the Ontario or-
ganization. - -"
Mr. McGinnis,. who -is the presi-
dent of the Ontario Hog Produc-
ers' Association, emphasized the
need for farmers. to develop skills
in 'marketing their product. ''For
years, he said, "we have been
engaged in producing the most
essential thing to mankind :food.
The strength of the Federation
lies in the fact that people in the
smaller municipalities are working
together for it"
"Under the marketing legislat-
ure now set up, the farmer is
given a chance to, market his own
product. We have set Op a mar-
keting agency, the same thing as
other industries Use in their busi-
nesses. • Operating the marketing
agency costs. us 24 cents a hog.
But," he went on, "the association
discovered that the 24 cents a
hog which.. had in the past been
charged as condemnation insur-
ance by the packer, could not be
charged, since they were not auth-
seized to sell insurance to anyone.
Therefore, now you save that
amount,: which actually did not
benefit the farmer very much, and
i+, is being used instead to market
your hogs to best advantage."
"You may feel your prices here
are low," said Mr. McGinnis, "but
compared with prices in Alberta
and Edmonton, they are up $1.50
per hundred, and since mid-July
our price has averaged $5 higher
than that in the United States."
We find ourselves being flood-
ed with hogs from Western Can-
ada and this has led us believe
that hogs should be within our
price control. Therefore, the pro
poral is to build assembly' yards
for hogs • throughout the province
where processors will be forced
to buy by competitive bidding,
The processors, continued Mr.
McGinnis, are ready to ,spend
large sums of money to hinder

of the assembly hall, are large
windows furnished' with pebbled
glass, to admit light, and shutters
en the inside can be used to shut
out the light for showing movies,
or to protect the windows while
games are being played.
Along the east side of the as-
sembly hall are classrooms, choir
room just off the good sized chap-
elparr a it

will be used for the 50 -member
Junior Congregation, and also for
small weddings. The chapel is
finished in oak paneling, and next
to it is the vestry done in mahog-
any.
In the main auditorium of the
church, the walls have been paint-
ed green, the ceiling is pink, and
new paint has been added to the
pipes of the pipe organ. A work -
bee last week of the members of
the Men's Club cleaned the old
finish off the pews, and they have
been sanded, stained and shellack-
ed
hellacked already,
Two new oil burners provide
heat for the church. Washrooms
are paintedblue for men and pink
for the ladies.
The sunday school superinten-
dent's office is on the main floor•,
decorated in cheery yellow. A
three-way sound system which is
Installed in a cabinet up over the
south end of the assembly hall
may be used to broadcast from the
main auditorium to the hall, or
vice -versa, and for sending organ
music and chimes through the
tower of the church.
For the ladies, the important
place in the new section of the
church will be the kitchen which
is equipped with two double stain-
less steel sinks, as well as one
single one with swivelled faucets,
dozens of cupboards, and pass
throughsto the auditorium, where
banquets may be served, and also
through into the ladies' parlour
which is equipped with fire -place.
The kitchen is finished in blended
wood. The ceilings are of acoustic
plaster.
Yesterday workmen were hard
at it puttingon finishing touches
of paint, and outside new side-
walk was being laid, while in the
basement a carpenter was finishing
work :on the new pair of .doors
which will form the entrance on
the west side of the church.

$15,000Grant Gr
Harry Ball and N. W. Trewar-
tha appeared before the County
Council on Tuesday, requesting
$15,000 for help in remodelling the
north wing of the Clinton Public
Hospital, •
Estimated cost n ,ache work, ac-
cording to Mr, Baa1l1, is $45;000.
The board, he explained, has been
able to set aside $12,000 for the
project, and expects to get $11,000
in provincial government grants,
end to be•able to convert an ex-
pected $7,000 in maintenance
grants to use for the remodelling
of the north wing.
With $30,000 in sight, the hos-
pital board would like the county
to contribute the other $1$,000.
Mr. Trewartha explained to the
county councillors, that plans
were to remodel the wing former-
ly used as nurses' quarters, to pro-
vide eight more hospital beds. The

office for the Duron County Heal-
th unit, a new entrance and stair-
case.
Mr, Ball explained that the
town of Clinton had contributed
substantially to the building of t
the new nurses' residence, and

a grant toward the refitting of
the former nurses' quarters.

county has voted $25,000each to t

Laws: For "Fire -Fans"
The law is quite clear about the
proper conduct of a mbtorist with
regard to following a fire engine,
and that of citizens at the scene
of a fire. As part of the yearlong
campaign by provincial police a-
gainst wrong -doers in this regard
as well as all other traffic of-
fences, action toward putting a
stop to violators is promised.
Fire Chief Grant" Rath has en-
listed the aid of Chief of Police H.
Russel Thompson in enforcing the
municipal by-laws in Clinton, and
also those laws applicable' under
the Ontario Highway Traffic' Act.
Last Wednesday an accident oc-
curred involving three cars, as
their drivers were following a fire
engine.
There is a . greater possibility
for accidents in cases involving
fire, since the natural excitement
connected with an emergency • is
apt to make people act with less
thought than ordinarily.
Published on page three to -day,
are extracts from the municipal
actof the Town of Clinton, and.
from. the Highway Traffic Act
particularly pertaining to this
matter.
The law prohibits parking a car,
or placing a vehiclenearer than
ten feet to a fire hydrant. This
is to give clearance to the -fire-
men, in case of a fire for which a
particular hydrant may be needed.
A town by-law also states that
,the fire -,engine has the right of
way, and other vehicles. must give
way before it, and prohibits inter-
ference by ordinary citizens —
that is, those not on the fire de-
partment — with equipment or
the actions of the firemen in the
discharge of their duties.
Town of Clinton by-law also
provides the Chief Constable, or
any officers of the Fire Depart-
ment, or the Mayor or any Justice
of the Peace, with authorityto
keep 50 feet of the street next to
a fire, clear for the work of the
fire department. The penalties
of infringing' on these by-laws is
severe,
Damage $500 In
Three -Car Crash
Damage totalling an estimated
$500 resulted last Wednesday
evening, when the cars of three
"fire -fans" piled up, on their way
following the Clinton fire engine,
which was proceeding' to the scene
of a chimney fire at Fred Arkell's
farm, near Bayfield.
According to Provincial Police
who investigated the accident, the
first car was driven by Robert
McGregor, RR 2, Kippen, who
with many others were following,
d .
The IlighWay Traffic Act, pro-
vides thgt a 'motorist should im-
mediately stop and pull to the
curb, upon the approach of a fire
engine, which a bell or siren is
sounding, to allow for the free
passage of the engine. ' The Act
further states that no vehicle may
follow a fire department engine
which is responding to an alarm,
at a distance of less than 500 feet.
These are sensible regulations.
If adhered to, lives and property
may be saved. If they are not
obeyed, then the penalties are se-

The second car, driven by. Ken-
neth Pickett, Clinton, came over
the hill and hit the McGregor car,
causing damage to its rear bump-
er, and then the third car driven
by Elwin Merrill, Clinton came
up, hitting the Pickett car and
driving it into the first vehicle.
Damage to the front god rear of
the Pickett car was estimated at
$200, and to the front end of the'
Merrill car at $300.
The mishap occurred about
three Miles north east of Bayfield.
Charges of careless driving have
been laid against Pickett and
Merrill.

According to Mrs. Norman Ball,
Mother of one of the injured men,
they -had started at about four in
the morning, and travelled to .the.
Wooded area between the forks of
the Maitland river, in Goderich
Township. They were standing
beside a wood pile, when the shot,
fired from a gun held by Norman
Tyndall, Clinton, struck there. The
men walked a mile to a car, and
Norman Wright drove them into
the Clinton Public Hospital,
Provincial Police Constable
Harry Sayeau investigated, and
according to him, two others in
the hunting party (Murray East
and Jack Leppington) had been
let off a mile south of the acci-
dent scene. The two :injured men
had, continued by car to the farm
of George Wright, Concession 17,
Goderich Township, north of Sum-
merhill. They had proceeded front
there into the bush at the back
of Norman Wright's property,
when they were shot in the back.
Norman Tyndall, an experienced
hunter, had entered the bush with
Drew Fowler, and four others,

Tyndall and Drew Fowler were

Some Bag Deer
According to Game Warden Roy
Bellinger, Clinton,• the percent-
age of success among hunters in
the township is not too high.
Throughout therday, yesterday, he
checked 194 hunters, and found
17 deer had been shot, "On the
whole," said Bellinger, "the men
are being careful. There were
no violations of game laws detect-
ed. However," be went on, "at
seven o'clock this morning, the
count must have been two hunt-
ers, no deer." (He was referring
to the Tyndall -Ball accident north
of here). • In that accident only
one of the men, said Bellinger,
was wearing red. Keith Tyndall
wore a red cap.
Among the hunters of this dist-
Met who were successful, were
Reg. Bali, Ross Colquhoun, Les
Jervis, Hahnesville and Sohn

meeting in St. Paul's Parish Hall
on Tuesday evening. The occasion
was a special banquet at which
the LIons were host to all 15
members of the Clinton Lions
4-11 Poultry Club and their fath-
ers..
Seventy four Lions and guests
sat down to 94 pound's of chicken
supper prepared by the St. Paul's
ladies from chickens raised by the

the sponsoring Lions,
This was the eirmax to the 4-11

the spring, when Lions donated
$10 to each of the 4-11 Club metol
bers. The 4-11 youngsters each
raised 100 chickens, kept track of
expenses, took instruction classes
at the Collegiate, exhibited their
birds at their achievement day,
and so completed their project.

gave a vivid description of the
growth of - an egg within a hen,
and showed samples of defective
eggs which had been ,discovered
by grading,
Mr. Made said that one of the
reasons for the good eggs produc-
ed in this county, is that more
and more . farmers are keeping
their birds indoors. The, hen which
is let run out doors lays an egg
with a deeper coloured yolk,
Which •consumers find unpalatable.
