Federation Notes
(By W. V. Roy)
The attendance at the County
Directors' Meeting of Huron
Federation of Agriculture, on
Tuesday, October 26, was poor,
partly due to the busy season,
but mainly to the failure of
Township Federations and affil-
iate organizations to realize their
responsbilities. The County' or-
ganization can only function ef-
fectively inasmuch as it receives
support from County affiliates.
Resolutions from Middlesex
County and Grey Township were
endorsed.
A motion by R. McKercher of
• Seaforth and Roy Strong, of Ger
rie, that the farmers of Huron
County co-operate in saving
A Hydro power, was passed unani-
_� mously.
It was decided, after some dis-
= - cussion, that the County would
