W. White, Agricultural Rep- resentative of Perth County. -He attributed the remarkable improve- ment in type shown by the Holstein breed generally in the past few years very largely to the Black and White Shows that have spread throughout the Dominion and to the good work of the Calf Clubs.

Other speakers were S. J. Hammond; ' St. Pauls Station, and Ward • Hodgins, Clandehoye, President of the Perth and Middlesex Holstein Clubs, res- pectively, and Agricultural Repre- sentative Bruce Matheson. i It was decided to hold the A; miaal Banquet of the Club in November, the actual date to be decided later, by the Banquet Committee. , The officers for 1945 are as fol- lows: Honorary Presidents, Gordon Bissett, Goderieh, Colin Campbell, Bayfield, and W. 3.
