Raise McKillop Phone -Rate $5 The annual meeting of • IMC Kil'lop Telephone System Frr af- ternoon voted to raise the rates approximately $5 a year sub- ject to approval. Mernbers de- feated a emotion to investigate sale of the system and another direct motion to sell. 'The meeting was held in the library hall here .with perhaps 25 subscribers present. At the election of commissioners;, for 1957 Walter Scott who has Ibeen chairman and who was nominat- ed. for another term, said that for personal reasons he was unable to carry on any longer. The meeting nominated 9larry Snell of Hallett to the three year term. Re-elected were Geo. Campbell for two year term and Allan Campbell for one year. Francis Gemmel], fieldman for '.southwestern Ontario of the Ontario telephone authori- ity, said he was here on invita- tion, not to interfere. He said the telephone authority has en- gineering and several other 'de- partments which are willing .to give help or advice to telephone systems on request, Mr. Gemmell congratulated the System on its contribution to telephone work since it had Ibeen founded. When the tele- phone was first invented nobody large or small would have any- thing to do with it. Then com- panies started taking interest in it in a big way, especially in the cities. The Bell Telephone was a private organization and of course developed its business in the cities where the money was. Altogether little attention was paid to the rural needs, Grath: - ally a• large number of compan- ies came into existence with a small number of phones, twen- ty, fifty or a hundred or so. As the years passed 'there were var- ious things that happened and from 1920 on they grouped in- to larger companies. Many of the rural systems, said Mr. Gemmell, have their switching done by the Bell Com- pany. Many of the rural com- panies find themselves in trou- ble as you are in: they have not taken in enough revenue during past years to hire properly qual- ified people to operate them, they own no property, their plant and equipment has worn out. 'Nobody wants cheap service, said Mr. Gemmell; don't want cheap cars, or anything cheap. It must be good. This condition is to be expected 'where proper depreciation accounts have not Ibeen estaiblished and charged in the rates. You must take more respon- sibility, said Mr. Gemmell. The municipal board which used to supervise the rates did not in- sist on the setting up of modern plant and 'buildings. A policy of tak;ng all and wanting, some- thing cheap has put many syst- ems in the position they now find themselves. "I would rather you people make your own decision. You will have to figure out how you can get out," said Mr, Gemmell in 'closing his address. He offer. ed any kind of help from the Authority in setting up a rate structure, but it was entirely up to you what you do. In answer to a question Mr. Gemmell said he considered 'the recently installed lines near IClinton for dial phones should be' worth 100 per cent of cost. In opening the meeting Walt er 'Scott was named chairman for the afternoon, Thos. 'Goven- lock secretary. J. M.' Eckert read the treasurer's report and he was asked why there were so many uncollected bilis. Mr. 'Ec- kert -explained that the bills were sent twice a year, Decem- ber ecember and June. Some of the bills had now been paid since the new year. :Any bills outstanding by July would be added to the 1957 taxes, he. said. Allan Campbell in his com- missioner's address, said you know revenue is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Two and a half miles of cable north from Grieve's- bridge must go in. It was not up to the commissioners to decide 'this but up to the meeting, said Mr. Campbell. There would not be much left out of ten thousand dollars to put in the cable. We know that dial phones are coming, may be after—Goderich has them. To split the lines north of (Seaforth. up to eight or nine phones to a line, you can' figure out how many lines you will need. He figured :there would not be much left from $'30,000. Mr. Camp- bell said 'he did not know wheth- er the subscribers feel like ,this now. 'Interest is"'5% %a or snore. "My view is we will never get out from under the load. If you could work along for ten years you might come out all right and „own the company. Bell rates are not very much higher ,than ours should have been," concluded Mr. ,Campbell. Commissioner iGeottge. (Camp bell said' that if another sleet storm comes we, would be licked. The cable from Stone's to Win- throp would go. Walter Scott speaking as a commissioner, said the commis- sioners had to do all the work in the sleet storm. This is your meeting said Mr. Scott,' and the commissioners do not have to do anything except what you tell their to do. Continued on Page 4 Annual Meeting of McKillop Fedlerat'n The McKillop Federation of Agriculture held their annual metting in 'the Seaforth district high school .auditorrufn Wednes- day evening of last week with a very -good ettetidanca. The •election, of officers was conducted by Artlhtir Bolton, assistant agricultural' epresent- ative for Huron Comity. 'Gilbert Smith, who has been looting pre- sident since the `retirement from farming of the; president Reuben Buuck, 'was elected pre- sident for a term of ftwo years, and Jim Keyes was elected vice president for 1957 and 19.58. At the same time the meeting nam- ed Mr. Smith as the federation's representative, and director on the hog producers co-op, with Mr. Keyes as alternate. Mr. Smith in ' thanking the meeting' for the honor said, the open 'market campaign for hogs was tough, some always see the dark side, others are glad to take the extra money but, fail to give credit to the hog co-op. The evening began with a eu- chre, and winners, • of the $5 prizes were Wallace 'ROSS and Pearl Thamer. Lone hands, Mrs. Bill 'Ryan and Joe Ryan, consolation, Harvey Dolmage .and Miss- C. Godkin, The secretary -treasurer, Al vin Dodds reported on finances. Total income was 1791 the largest item (being $750 grant from the council. Ekpenditru'es added up to 8861, the largest being $5G0 forr affiliation fees. Douglas McNeil, president of the Huron County Federation said he was glad to see many ladies ''pr'esent. He had repre- sented the county at the Toren. to meetings. The decision from the supreme court had been very slow in coming. All the provisions had been held valid except the provision to stabil. fze prices, and this will be taken care of before very long in the revised legislation. Then no one will be able to take legal action, which costs a lot of money. Our federation, said 'iVIr•. Mc- ±Tent, is expanding in the north in the district of Algoma, Nip• issing and Manitoulin. On Man- itoulin the constitution provides that instead of a levy the work will be carried on a membership basis as the assessment system would not work (because there is a lot of bush and cheap land. We are happy to have the farm. ers of the north come in with us. Mr. "McNeil said he had mei Mr. (Milliken, in Toronto, who is the federation lawyer, and a very capable man. A. native of Manitoba, his home 'e'as'1n Re- gina. Ile has had a great deal of experience in co-operative work and drew up the constitu• tions of many wheat pools. We should be thankful to have his services at this time. The county federation, Mr !McNeil said, has been fairly busy on commodity groups Members of parliament have co- operated in every way .and really done a job. Mr. McNeil said that Huntley MacKay, information man in Toronto, had given .splendid re- ports at the meeting in the city. They were getting the press tr take an interest in farmers news. As an example, the 'Globe and 'Mail had given the federa tion very good co-operation,. and there were other examples. Another interesting report given at the meeting in Toron to was that of Cecil Belyea, federation economist, said Mr. 'McNeil While there were no gas lines going through Huron ]County, they were a matter of interest to many farmers and federations to the south of us.. The federation in Toronto has surveyed many contracts. Un ion Gas contract they consider•• ed the worst of .all. The fader. ation has now drawnup a con tract which anyone could sign. Mr. McNeil said many people have no idea how the federation is organized. It is just what its name says, a federation or join- ing together of groups with similar interests, starting with the township groups and the co•• ops, and then extending to counties, then to the provinces and national federation. What are farmers going to .do- in 1957, asked Mr. McNeil Everyone can help by market- ing their commodities where they can be bid on. He said that while he was a dairy man and not a beef producer, he was of the opinion that our beef prices were set by thep rices in Tor- onto for what is called commer- cial cattle, which are low grade, The better grade of cattle are not getting on the market. The buyers are not particular about putting the better grades of beef on the open market, as it might raise the price. There were a lot of beef feeders in McKillop, he said. (Bert Lobb said he would talk about hogs, he was a hundred per cent 'behind the federation, Any other talk would only di- vide farmers and their organ- ization. The other fellow has to' prove himself. We are "•all hog producers, no matter to what Or- ganization we belong, 9uite a few did not realize what membership means, said Mr. 'Lobb. To have voting pow- er at the.,annual meeting of the hog 'producers it was necessary to be a anenvber of the federa- tion. .Huron had 1.9 ,representa • Continued on Page '4,, Farewell For G. W. Montgomery A farewell party will be held• for Mr. G W. Montgomery, Agricultural representative, in the Seaforth district high school at 8.30 p.m. Friday, March 1st. Mr. Montgomery has served as 'agricultural iRepresenta'tive in this County since August 1951. He will be leaving here on Mar. 2 to accept the position of agri- cultural agent in Ontario with the C.N.R. with offices in Un- ion Station, Toronto. Mr. Montgomery has served agriculture very .faithfully since coming to Huron County and it is most fitting that the people of the county are seeing fit to honour him with a presentation and this -farewell party. •All Junior Farmers, 4-H Club members, parents ani friends of IMr.:and Mrs. Montgomery and family are invited to attend this function, 'Refreshments are being provided and everyone is asked to 'bring along either sandwiches, cookies or tarts for the lunch. Following an enter- tainment program and the pre- sentation :a dance will be held in the high school auditorium.

HOME AND SCHOOL There was a splendid attend- ance at the regular meeting of the Seaforth Horne and School Association on Tuesday evening. The president, Mrs. J. E. Patter- son chaired the meeting. IMrs. Clarke was the pianist for "0 Canada" followed by the Lord's Prayer. The parent of the month was Mrs. Harold 'Nichol- son. Mr. Talbot announced the public speaking contest is to be held on 'March 5tlr. Mrs. McDon- ald's room (grade 7) won the dollar prize for most parents present at the meeting. The fol- lowing music was enjoyed, Pat- sy and Gail Storey and Marie Scott accompanied by Mrs. Scott, entertained with tap dancing numbers. (Ken Duch- arme and 'Bill Norris favored with guitar numbers. Dr. J. Semple of Egmondville United IChui►ch was the gueS't speaker. He gave a wonderful address on "The Main Cause of Delinquency". Being a govern- ment chaplain at Guelph Re- formatory he .gave his attentive audience much food for thought. Mr. Widdis thanked Dr. Sem- ple and the entertainers; after which the meeting closed with "The Queen". A cup of tea and refresh- ments were served by Mr's, J. C. MacLennan and Mrs. Angus McLean, and a social hour en- joyed. MINOR HOCKEY By A Faithful Follower On Thursday evening a thril- ler of a game was played in the Seaforth Arena, when Topnotch Juveniles won 5-2 over Listow- el Juveniles. It was a fast game and packed (plenty of fire. This was the first in a best of 6 ser- ies for the Western Ontario champs. •Seaforth's first goal was pocketed by Ken King early in the first. Bobby Wright then .pepped a second goal for the Seaforth Club. And then in the spotlight stepped old reliable ,Ron Scoins who fired two beau- ties and clicked on both of them. Bill Roberton put the finishing touches to it with a "dilly" of a goal fired from close in. But we must not forget 'Butch" McGonigle who played a ,brilliant game in the Seaforth cage. He only allowed two shots to pass him. But we sure lacked one 'thing and that was the at- tendance, that's • what would give our team the "spirit". Also in Exeter on 'Saturday night, "Whitey" Broome lel his Midgets to another win to clip inate Exeter from further pray. Now they go on to meet Mt. Forest in another series. The players would sure play better 'hockey if 'they had a little sup- port from some of • the lecals. The players are doing their part, are you???

I feel sure there are going to be some very good close gaines 'between these two teams. We will , :be playing in ,Seaforth Feb. 21 and Tues., Feb. 26, then back in 'St. IM'arys, Feb. 28, again in Sea - forth March '5. A large crowd were on hand in St. Mars and we feel sure that over 200 will ihe in 'Seaforth supporting their team here Thursday night. A few reserved seats are still ,av- ailab'le and will be on sale at the arena .before game time on. Thursday. For the first time this winter we are falling behind financially since both' minor teams are in playoffs which means outside referees and much additional expense. I was disappointed to see so few out to the Listowel- Seaforth Juvenile• am it a good gave and worthy of good support. The gate of 30 - some odd customers would not pay for the hydro used. Many centres have over 300 turn out for games not nearly as keenly contested. Let's see more out to support our own local boys in these playoff games. The Sea - forth. Midget team now in play- off games 'are playing well and would appreciate support also. This financial report does not include numerous !bills for sticks etc., which we have been unable to pay until further funds are available: Ticket sales to date $2,717; minor hockey night 886, :hospi- tai insurance $114.15, player's release 375„ donations 3349.25, gate receipts '$1,150.05, turkey draw 3483.50, booster parties $695.60.

But what ever it was or is the explosion occurred in the 10A Agriculture class. Our Junior girls really show the other teams what it is like to be good. With only a remain- ing few games left to 'be played they have not lost yet. The Sen- iors came through to beat the Wingham girls who had notlost a game. The boys as usual are a hopeless cause but 'we will still remain loyal enough to try and cheer them on to victory. Well grade 11 sure made good use of their talent. Roy, was it really first aid they gave you? Well on, Friday 10c is hoping that the film will arrive. But if not something should come out of the brain class.
