4Aehievement Night'
Proves Successful
The first event of its kind ,to
be held in Huron County, the
Junior Farmer' Clubs of the
county —nine in number —held
their "Achievement Night" in
Clinton Collegiate Institute Aud-
itorium Wednesday evening lest
• with more than 250 club mem-
bers and their parents in at-
tendance.
Highlight of the gathering was
the presentation of award's to the
various club members on , the
strength of the year's competit-
ions, with J. C. Rennie, assistant
agricultural representative, in
charge, assisted by the leaders of
the various clubs. Mr. Rennie
also mentioned the various awards
won in outside competitions at
Guelph, Canadian National Ex-
hibition, and Royal Winter Fair,
J. C, Rennie acted as chair-
man and welcomed the audience.
Miss Grace' Lobb, Clinton, led in
'a singsong with R. Gordon Ben-
nett, Clinton, agricultural repre-
sentative, at the. piano. Misses
Shirley and Emma Robertson,
Dungannon, sang a vocal duett,
and Walker Hart, Seaforth, sang
western songs with his own banjo
accompaniment. Misses Marie
Gliddon and Grace Lobb, Clin-
ton, rendered a vocal duett, ac-
companied by Miss Eileen Glid-
don on the piano.
R. Gordon Bennett explained
"Achievement Night" which. was
new in Huron County. The size
of the , gathering indicated the
interest, he noted, and the at-
tendance was very gratifying. He
introduced the main speaker.
Club Work Valuable
A. M. Barr, Toronto, associate
director of extension for the
Province, declared that he al-
ways believed in club work be-
cause he believed It was one of
the soundest projects conducted
by the Ontario Department of
,Agriculture.
The growth of club work in
Canada was surprising, Mr. Barr
said, there being 45,000 club
members in Canada. A total of
165 teams from Ontario compet-
ed at the Royal Winter Fair,
with 31 teams' in the ,Dominion
finals, including seven from On -1
tario.
"I would like to think you
became a club member to do
things a little better," Mr. Barr
declared, repeating the motto,
"learn to do by doing." Club
work, which really had got its
start in the, late 1920's, has grown
and extended. It grew partly
because older people took a
greater interest, and many acted
as local leaders for club projects.
Mr. Barr Stressed .the training
boys and girls get out of judging
competitions. "You have to learn
to make up your own mind," he
said, "and this *leads to better
citizenship. - You must learn to
make decisions end then back
them up with reasons." The club
policy lends itself to the develop-
ment of grils and boys and they
learn how to get together and
work together,
Another very ' definite result,
he stated, was the development
of good herds of cattle, sheep
and swine, good flocks of poultry,
and good crops. He pointed out
that club graduates have some
of the best herds in Ontario.
"Participation in club work is
just another form of education,"
he said.
Refreshments were served by
the girls of Clinton Junior In-
stitute, after which an informal
dance brought the evening to a
close.

PERHAPS THE TOWN OF
Clinton or some of the Townships
could try this method of get-
ting people to the polls on elec
tion day? . A provincial by-
election was held in the South
Okanagan constituency of British
Columbia last week . . Each
person voting was given a chance
to participate in a $50 draw spon-
sored by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce . . . "Get -out -and -
vote" cards were attached to
every milk bottle delivered in

successful in attaining its object..

AMONG STRANGE THINGS
that sometimes occur in muni-
cipal politics is that of names .. .
For example, an old friend of
ours, Grant Mayor, has been re-
elected Mayor: of.. Barrie by ac-
clamation for this third term...
Our next-door neighbor, John
Torrance, a Clinton native, who
recently retired as business
manager of The Lethbridge Daily
Herald after more than 40 years
service, knows a man in that
city by the name of . Alderman
who is a member of the City
Council in that capacity
Perhaps someone has heard of a
.Reeve who is a Reeve? .. .
HEAVY VOTE AT SEAFORTH
Slippery streets did not pre-
vent Seaforth citizens from turn-
ing out in good numbers to cast
their votes in the civic election -
Wednesday. Only the names of
nine council aspirants were on
the ballots as other offices were
filled by acclamation. The result
in the heavy vote, with the first
six elected to office: E. H, Close
(430), B. F. Christie (421), James;
A. Stewart (384), Dr. E. A. Me -
Master (363), Norman Swirls
(347), Wallace ''Ross (341), Rus-
sel H. Sproat (315), Ed. Smith
(283), and W. T. Teal (275).
"When will I see you again,
darling?" asked the happy girl,
admiring the diamond again.
"Tomorrow," promised the de-
lighted lover. °'If it snows in
the morning I, will come after
lunch, if it snows in the after-
noon I will come in the morning."

To place in this group, number
four a contestant must be above
average in the other three con-
tests, In each contest there are
12 prize winning positions.

group two (yeast and mould);
Canada Packers Limited, Ches-
ley, placed third, while Clinton
was fifth, Centralio sixth, Walk-
erton seventh.

ers plants placed as follows: Fort
Frances, third; Clinton, fifth;
Wiarton, sixth; Walkerton, seven-
th; Centralia, eighth; Herriston,
eleventh; Shelburne, twelfth.

the following positions were held
by Canada Packers -owned cream.-
eries; 1, Shelburne:; 2, Mount
Forest; 3, Centralia; 5, Walker-
ton; 7, Clinton. There were 82
