General recommendations we given first consideration. They i eluded: extra gasoline coupons car owners transporting farm help; checking of community sales of live- stock for prevention of diseases; the allotment of two row corn picker machines to Huron to boost corn acreage; shortage of farm help; the setting, up of a local labour board in each county with a view to retaining farm help on a more per- manent basis; investigation of methods and transportation of live- stock and means of reducing trans- mission of disease; that men in work closely 'allied with farming such as chopping mill operators, farm mach- inery service men, and so on, be given preferential treatment by the mobili- zation division .of National Selective Service and the Oil Controller's office pasture improvement and .hydro ex- tension to the farms. These points Were all ably discussedby those particularly interested,, The question of rural hydro was championed by Lorne Reid of Rip- ley, a Bruce County Councillor, who thought that there is unfair dis- crimination in favor of the urban centres, It was explained that the difficulty in obtaining construction material will prevent extension of lines until after the war. Return to Standard time was a subject of much discussion and was advocated by Wesley Magwood, Han- over', who cited specifyc instances to back his arguments. Mr. Dryden said that he too was of the opinion that it is not a wise regulation. The main argument put forward against daylight time was that there is no saving of electricity and that it is a hardship to families having children in school. Mr. Dryden asked for a standing vote on the question and the vote was 100 per cent for Standard time. Afternoon Session The afternpon session was held in the town hall.
